Association of Postpartum Temperature Exposure with Postpartum Depression: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Southern California.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) has been associated with biological, emotional, social, and environmental factors. However, evidence regarding the effect of temperature on PPD is extremely limited.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the associations between postpartum temperature exposure and PPD.

Fine Particulate Matter, Its Constituents, and Spontaneous Preterm Birth.

Importance: The associations of exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and its constituents with spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) remain understudied. Identifying subpopulations at increased risk characterized by socioeconomic status and other environmental factors is critical for targeted interventions.

Association between particulate air pollution and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Epidemiological findings regarding the association of particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) are inconsistent; evidence for HDP risk related to PM2.

An Experimental Phototherapy Device for Studying the Effects of Blue Light on Patients with Raynaud's Phenomenon.

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a condition that causes decreased blood flow to areas perfused by small blood vessels (e.g., fingers, toes).

Association of Antepartum and Postpartum Air Pollution Exposure With Postpartum Depression in Southern California.

Importance: Women are especially vulnerable to mental health matters post partum because of biological, emotional, and social changes during this period. However, epidemiologic evidence of an association between air pollution exposure and postpartum depression (PPD) is limited.

Objective: To examine the associations between antepartum and postpartum maternal air pollution exposure and PPD.
