Association of urinary perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate concentrations with pulmonary function in children aged 6–19 years by Linlin Yu, Shuang Shi, Li Shen, Tan Cheng, Guodong Ding, Xiaoping Jing

“…Exposure to perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate was estimated by measuring urinary concentration, and pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry. Linear regression and generalized linear models were performed to estimate the associations of perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate concentrations with pulmonary function measures. …”

A Meta-Analysis of the Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Relations Between Executive Functioning and Math in Early Childhood by Jane E. Hutchison, Bijan Tabrizian, Nina Bajnauth, Ander Avdellas, Deborah Phillips, Ian M. Lyons

“…We then examined whether the strength of the EF-Math relation in this age-range depends on measurement factors, socio-economic status (SES), and the nature and direction of longitudinal relations. [1] Overall achievement measures of EF and math generally led to higher estimates of the EF-Math relation relative to measures of isolated EF subprocesses or specific math skills, though this may be due more to measurement than developmental factors. [2] EF measures using numerical stimuli inflate estimates of the EF-Math association by roughly 40%. [3] Low SES samples showed the strongest average EF-Math associations. [4] Longitudinal associations that do not adjust for Time-1 measurement of the outcome variable lead to inflated (as much as 120%) estimates of directional associations. …”
