Remote Sensing (RS) has been used in urban mapping for a long time; however, the complexity and diversity of functional patterns are difficult to be captured by RS only. Emerging Geospatial Big Data (GBD) considered as supplement data, help contribute our understanding lands from physical aspects (i.e., land cover) socioeconomic use). Integrating GBD could an effective way combine with great po...

BACKGROUND Many major causes of disability in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study present with a range of severity, and for most causes finding population distributions of severity can be difficult due to issues of sparse data, inconsistent measurement, and need to account for comorbidities. We developed an indirect approach to obtain severity distributions empirically from survey data. ...

Abstract We prove a compactness result in GBD {\operatorname{GBD}} which also provides new proof of the theorem GSBD {\operatorname{GSBD}} , due to Chambolle and Crismale. Our is based on Fréchet–Kolmogorov criterion does not rely Korn or Poincaré–Korn inequalities.

The recently published Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) contains accurate, contemporary estimates of human morbidity and mortality, with substantial changes in the patterns of illness observed over the last two decades. One of the most significant alterations to these estimates has been the recognition that viral hepatitis is a leading cause of human mortality, with an estimated 1...

background: dietary risk factors constitute some of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease in iran. the current study reports the burden of ischemic heart disease (ihd) attributable to a low omega-3 fatty acids intake in iran using the data of the global burden of disease (gbd) study 2010. methods: we used data on iran for the years 1990, 2005, and 2010 derived from the gbd study c...

IMPORTANCE Eye and vision disease burden should help guide ophthalmologic research prioritization. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2010 compiled data from 1990 to 2010 on 291 diseases and injuries, 1160 disease and injury sequelae, and 67 risk factors in 187 countries. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) is a resource for systematic reviews in health care, with peer-revi...

Reliable, comparable information about the main causes of disease and injury in populations, and how these are changing, is a critical input for debates about priorities in the health sector. Traditional sources of information about the descriptive epidemiology of diseases, injuries, and risk factors are generally incomplete, fragmented, and of uncertain reliability and comparability. The Globa...

BACKGROUND The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) identified mental and substance use disorders as the 5th leading contributor of burden in 2010, measured by disability adjusted life years (DALYs). This estimate was incomplete as it excluded burden resulting from the increased risk of suicide captured elsewhere in GBD 2010's mutually exclusive list of diseases and injuries. Here, we...

We have recently embarked on a collaborative project to improve estimates of the global burden of injuries. This commentary invites individuals and organizations to contribute to building this global public good by providing the project access to relevant results from local injury data sources. Reliable estimates of the incidence and burden of injuries are essential inputs for prioritizing prev...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the global and country-level burden of HIV/AIDS relative to 291 other causes of disease burden from 1980 to 2010 using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD 2010) as the vehicle for exploration. METHODS HIV/AIDS burden estimates were derived elsewhere as a part of GBD 2010, a comprehensive assessment of the magnitude of 291 diseases and injuries from 1990 to 2010...
