Spatial analysis studies have included the application of land use regression models (LURs) for health and air quality assessments. Recent LUR studies have collected nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using passive samplers at urban air monitoring networks in El Paso and Dallas, TX, Detroit, MI, and Cleveland, OH to assess spatial variability and source influences. L...

BACKGROUND HLA genes are highly polymorphic and certain alleles are frequent only in specific populations. Therefore, HLA is a unique tool for studying the genetic relation between different populations. Iranians are ethnically diverse people and one of the major ethnic groups in Iran is Lur population inhabiting along the central and southern parts of Zagros Chain Mountain. OBJECTIVE Genetic...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed significant differences between populations for genotypic frequencies of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) and M1 (GSTM1) polymorphisms. In order to find the frequency of the null genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 in Iranian populations, the present study was carried out. METHODS The total study subjects consisted of 1340 unrelated healthy Muslims/Irani...

BACKGROUND The present study compared the differences between survivals of patients with colorectal cancer according to their ethnicity adjusted for other predictors of survival. METHODS In this prospective cohort study patients were followed up from definite diagnosis of colorectal cancer to death. Totally, 2431 person-year follow-ups were undertaken for 1127 colorectal cancer patients once ...

This study investigates whether local economic conditions at entry into the labour market affect adult career outcomes. If the stage of the business cycle determines later outcomes, then there are long-term costs associated with entering the labour market in a recession. The focus is on the local unemployment rate (LUR) at entry at detailed regional level and its overall effects on earnings and...
