Using five exposure metrics to explore the association between ambient PM2.5 and the hospital admissions for COPD in Tianshui city, China by Deshun Li, Jiyuan Dong, Xiaoju Liu, Juan Shu, Lisha Zhu, Hairong Bao

“…The five metrics of PM2.5 exposure and COPD hospitalization show an exposure-response relationship that resembles a function curve that increases monotonically. This study added evidence for increased risk of admissions associated with exposure to the five metrics of ambient PM2.5 in Tianshui City, China, and DailyPM2.5eve or PM2.5DECH may be a significant risk factor for the increased risk of COPD admission, indicating that we should focus more on the relationship between air pollution and related diseases during the evening peak hours.…”

Calibrated muscle models improve tracking simulations without enhancing gait predictions. by Filippo Maceratesi, Míriam Febrer-Nafría, Josep M Font-Llagunes

“…The accuracy of the predicted muscle excitations was generally consistent between NSMs and FCMs.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The results suggest that, while the FCMs led to more accurate joint torques estimations in the tracking simulations, they did not outperform the NSMs in the fully-predictive gait simulations.…”
