Pedestrian Exposure to Air Pollution in Cities: Modeling the Effect of Roadside Trees by Jorge Humberto Amorim, Joana Valente, Pedro Cascão, Vera Rodrigues, Cláudia Pimentel, Ana I. Miranda, Carlos Borrego

“…An exposure model is developed that associates the georeferenced location of the student with the computed air quality levels (at an average breathing height) for that specific grid cell. For each individual, the model calculates the instantaneous exposure at each time frame and the mean value for a given period. …”

Pain in Neurodegenerative Disease: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives by Marina de Tommaso, Lars Arendt-Nielsen, Ruth Defrin, Miriam Kunz, Gisele Pickering, Massimiliano Valeriani

“…The management of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease (PD) and PD related disorders, motor neuron diseases (MND), Huntington’s disease (HD), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), is mainly addressed to motor and cognitive impairment, with special care to vital functions as breathing and feeding. Many of these patients complain of painful symptoms though their origin is variable, and their presence is frequently not considered in the treatment guidelines, leaving their management to the decision of the clinicians alone. …”
