Association between triglyceride-glucose index and clinical outcomes among patients with chronic kidney disease: a meta-analysis by Jinli Tuo, Zhong Li, Linshen Xie

“…Secondary outcomes included the coronary artery disease (CAD) mortality, CKD progression, risk of severe coronary artery stenosis (SCAS), major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were combined to assess the predictive role of TyG index for above clinical outcomes among CKD patients. …”

The concentration of selected organophosphorus pesticides associated with PM10 in agricultural ambient air in Iran: Health risk assessment using Monte Carlo simulation by Asma Tabanasl, Amin Mohammadpour, Aboozar Soltani, Mohammad Hoseini, Mohammadali Baghapour

“…Although no significant overall difference was observed in organophosphate pesticide levels in PM10 between urban and suburban areas, suburban regions generally exhibited higher concentrations, with the exceptions of Parathion and Butachlor. The hazard index (HI) percentiles for children exposed to these pesticides in Yasuj's air were calculated as 0.0047 (5th percentile), 0.0141 (50th percentile), and 0.0291 (95th percentile). …”

Disrupting effects of neonicotinoids and their interaction with metals on thyroid hormone, an evidence of children in a rural area, South China by Ling-Chuan Guo, Pan Zhu, Chunyan Gui, Jing Deng, Yanhong Gao, Chaoyang Long, Han Zhang, Zhanlu Lv, Shengbing Yu

“…However, there lack of direct evidence between neonicotinoids exposure and thyroid hormone (TH) disruption in population study, especially in children, which limits the understanding on their health hazard. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study on children of a rural area in South China (n = 88), and analyzed urinary ten neonicotinoids (including metabolites), serum TH, thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. …”
