Ethnic-specific associations of rare and low-frequency DNA sequence variants with asthma
Nature Communications, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Asthma / genetics; Carrier Proteins / genetics; Female; Genetic Predisposition to Disease / genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study / methods; Humans; Linkage Disequilibrium / genetics; Male; Membrane Proteins / genetics; Neoplasm Proteins / genetics
TL;DR:
The results suggest that associations with rare and low-frequency variants are ethnic specific and not likely to explain a significant proportion of the ‘missing heritability’ of asthma.

Interbasin flow of geothermally modified ground water stabilizes stream exports of biologically important solutes against variation in precipitation
Freshwater Science, 34(1), 276–286.
Contributors: C. Ganong*, G. Small *, M. Ardón* , W. McDowell *, D. Genereux n, J. Duff*, C. Pringle *
author keywords: stream; geothermal; ground water; nutrient; nitrogen; phosphorus; DOC; flux; precipitation; stoichiometry; climate change; tropical
TL;DR:
The results illustrate that regional ground water, geothermally modified or not, can stabilize stream export of biologically relevant solutes and water across a varying precipitation regime.

Pesticide use and risk of end-stage renal disease among licensed pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 73(1), 3–12.
MeSH headings : Agriculture; Herbicides / adverse effects; Humans; Incidence; Iowa; Kidney Failure, Chronic / etiology; Male; North Carolina; Occupational Diseases / etiology; Occupational Exposure / adverse effects; Occupations; Pesticides / adverse effects; Proportional Hazards Models; Prospective Studies; Risk Factors
TL;DR:
The findings support an association between ESRD and chronic exposure to specific pesticides, and suggest pesticide exposures resulting in medical visits may increase the risk of E SRD.

Optimized oral cholera vaccine distribution strategies to minimize disease incidence: A mixed integer programming model and analysis of a Bangladesh scenario
Vaccine, 33(46), 6218–6223.
author keywords: Cholera; Vaccine; Bangladesh; Mixed integer programming; Vaccine distribution
MeSH headings : Administration, Oral; Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Bangladesh / epidemiology; Child; Child, Preschool; Cholera / epidemiology; Cholera / prevention & control; Cholera Vaccines / administration & dosage; Cholera Vaccines / supply & distribution; Female; Humans; Incidence; Infant; Male; Middle Aged; Models, Theoretical; Topography, Medical; Young Adult
TL;DR:
A mathematical model for optimally allocating vaccines in a region under varying levels of demographic and incidence data availability is presented and results indicate that, given appropriate surveillance data, targeting age groups and regions with the highest disease incidence should be the first priority.

An optimization framework for measuring spatial access over healthcare networks
BMC Health Services Research, 15(1).
author keywords: Optimization; Health access; Measurement of access; Intervention
MeSH headings : Catchment Area, Health; Health Services Accessibility; Humans; Models, Theoretical; Rural Population; Spatio-Temporal Analysis; United States
TL;DR:
The optimization models capture a patient’s experience rather than their opportunities and avoid overestimating patient demand, and they can also capture system effects due to change based on congestion.

Small-Area Estimation of Spatial Access to Care and Its Implications for Policy
Journal of Urban Health, 92(5), 864–909.
author keywords: Spatial access; Health policy; Optimization; Small-area estimates
MeSH headings : California / epidemiology; Georgia / epidemiology; Health Policy; Health Services Accessibility / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Models, Statistical; Spatial Analysis
TL;DR:
The results show the proposed approach is able to overcome limitations of other existing models by capturing patient and provider preferences and by incorporating possible changes in health policies, and inaccurate estimates of disparities across population and across geography at the county level are found.
