Objective: We compared the incidence of appendicitis or appendectomy across the world
and evaluated temporal trends. Summary Background Data: Population-based studies …

Objective: Exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) is estimated to cause millions of
premature deaths annually. This work conveys known routes of exposure to PM and …

Recent studies suggest an association between particulate matter (PM) air pollution and
gastrointestinal (GI) disease. In addition to direct deposition, PM can be indirectly deposited …

Global incidence rates for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have gradually risen over the
past 20 years. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 160 genetic …

Work has shown that increased exposure to air pollutants independently contributes to
obesity and type 2 diabetes risk, yet the exact mechanisms underlying these associations …

Background Particulate matter (PM) is a key pollutant in ambient air that has been
associated with negative health conditions in urban environments. The aim of this study was …

OBJECTIVES: The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) emerged after industrialization. We
studied whether ambient air pollution levels were associated with the incidence of IBD …

Air pollution is a rising public health issue worldwide. Cumulative epidemiological and
experimental studies have shown that exposure to air pollution such as particulate matter …

The development of a rodent ambient particulate matter (PM) inhalation system is critical for
drawing causal inferences between PM exposure and the onset of human diseases. In this …

Exposure to ambient fine particular matter (PM2. 5) are linked to an increased risk of
metabolic disorders, leading to enhanced rate of many diseases, such as inflammatory …
