Abstract. Ground-based remote sensing instruments have been widely used for atmospheric research but applications for air quality monitoring remain limited. Compared to an in situ instrument that provides air quality conditions at the ground level, most remote sensing instruments are sensitive to a broad range of altitudes, often providing only integrated column observations. These column data can be more difficult to interpret and to relate to surface values and hence to “nose-height-level” health factors. This research utilized ground-based remote sensing and in situ air quality observations in the Canadian Oil Sands Region to investigate some of their differences. Vertical column densities (VCDs) of SO2 and NO2 retrieved by Pandora spectrometers located at the Oski-Otin site at Fort McKay, (Alberta, Canada), from 2013–2019 were analyzed along with measurements of SO2 and NO2 surface concentrations and meteorological data. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations by CIMEL sunphotometer were compared with surface PM2.5 data. The Oski-Otin site is surrounded by several large bitumen mining operations within the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR) with significant NO2 emissions from the mining fleet. Two major bitumen upgraders that are 20 km south-east of the site have total SO2 and NO2 emissions of about 40 kt yr-1 and 20 kt yr-1 respectively. It was demonstrated that remote sensing data from Pandora and CIMEL combined with high vertical resolution wind profiles can provide information about pollution sources and plume characteristics. Elevated SO2 VCDs are clearly observed for times with south and south-eastern winds, particularly at 200–300 m altitude (above ground level). High NO2 VCD values were observed from other directions (e.g., north-west) with less prominent impacts from 200–300 m winds. In situ ground observations of SO2 and NO2 show a different sensitivity with wind profiles, indicating they are less sensitive to elevated plumes than remote sensing instruments. In addition to measured wind data and lidar observed boundary layer height (BLH), modelled wind profiles and BLH from ERA-5 have been used to further examine the correlation between column and surface observations. The results show that the ratio of measured column and surface concentration values could show positive or negative correlation with BLH, which depends on the height of emission sources (e.g., emissions from high stacks or near surface). This study explores differences between remote sensing and in situ instruments in terms of their vertical, horizontal, and temporal sampling differences. Understanding and resolving these differences are critical for future analyses linking satellite, ground-based remote sensing, and in situ observations in air quality monitoring and research.
Last Glacial Maximum climate and atmospheric circulation over the Australian region from climate models

Published: February 2024

Abstract. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ∼21 kyr ago) was the most recent time that the Earth experienced global maximum ice volume and minimum eustatic sea level. The climate changes over the Australian region at the LGM remain uncertain, including the extent of cooling in the arid interior, changes in the regional atmospheric circulations such as the tropical monsoon and mid-latitude westerlies, and changes in the balance between precipitation and evaporation. In this study, 13 climate model simulations that were included in the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) Phases 3 and 4 are used to investigate regional climate (temperature, precipitation, and wind) over Australia at the LGM. The model simulations are compared with existing proxy records and other modelling studies. All models simulate consistent annual and seasonal cooling over the Australian region (defined as 0–45° S, 110–160° E) at the LGM compared to pre-industrial, with a multi-model mean 2.9 °C decrease in annual average surface air temperature over land at the LGM compared to pre-industrial. Models simulate a range of LGM precipitation anomalies over the region. Simulated precipitation changes over tropical Australasia appear to be driven by changes in circulation and moisture transport, which vary greatly between models. Surface moisture balance calculated from precipitation minus evaporation shows little change over much of the Australian land area at the LGM. Changes in the strength and position of the mid-latitude westerlies are uncertain, with wide model disagreement. These results indicate that climate model simulations do not show a robust response in either tropical or mid-latitude circulation to LGM boundary conditions, suggesting that caution is required when interpreting model output in this region. Further analysis based on model evaluation and quantitative model–proxy comparison is required to better understand the drivers of LGM climate and atmospheric circulation changes in this region.
Effect of the 2022 summer drought across forest types in Europe

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Forests in Europe experienced record-breaking dry conditions during the 2022 summer. The direction in which various forest types respond to climate extremes during their growing season is contingent upon an array of internal and external factors. These factors include the extent and severity of the extreme conditions and the tree ecophysiological characteristics adapted to environmental cues, which exhibit significant regional variations. In this study we aimed to: 1) quantify the extent and severity of the extreme soil and atmospheric dryness in 2022 in comparison to two most extreme years in the past (i.e., 2003, 2018), 2) quantify response of different forest types to atmospheric and soil drought in terms of canopy browning and photosynthesis, and 3) relate the functional characteristics of the forests to the emerging responses observed at the canopy level. For this purpose, we used the ERA5-Land spatial meteorological dataset between 1970 to 2022 to identify conditions with extreme soil and atmospheric dryness. We used the near-infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRv) derived from the MOderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the OCO-2 solar induced fluorescence (SIF) as an observational proxy for photosynthesis based on the SIF data product, to quantify the response of forests at the canopy level. In summer 2022, particularly southern regions of Europe experienced the most pronounced atmospheric and soil dryness. As a result, the extremely dry conditions led to an average 30 % more widespread decline in SIF across forests compared to drought in 2018, and 60 % more widespread decline compared to drought in 2003. Although the atmospheric and soil drought were more extensive and severe (indicated by a larger observed max z-score) in 2018 compared to 2022, the negative impact on forests, indicated by declined SIF, was significantly larger in 2022. Across different forest types, the deciduous broad-leaved forests were most negatively affected by the extreme conditions in 2022, but Evergreen Needle-Leaf Forests (ENF) distributed in northern regions of Europe showed enhanced canopy greening and SIF signals as a benefit of warming. Higher degree of canopy damage in 2022 in spite of less extreme conditions compared to the previous extreme year points to a legacy effect on forest canopies, and a declined forest resilience in response to more frequent drought events.
Parameter estimation for ocean background vertical diffusivity coefficients in the Community Earth System Model (v1.2.1) and its impact on El Niño–Southern Oscillation forecasts
Authors: Shen Zheqi , Chen Yihao , Li Xiaojing , Song Xunshu
Published: February 2024

Abstract. This study investigates parameter estimation (PE) to enhance climate forecasts of a coupled general circulation model by adjusting the background vertical diffusivity coefficients in its ocean component. These parameters were initially identified through sensitivity experiments and subsequently estimated by assimilating the sea surface temperature and temperature–salinity profiles. This study expands the coupled data assimilation system of the Community Earth System Model (CESM) and the ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF) to enable parameter estimation. PE experiments were performed to establish balanced initial states and adjusted parameters for forecasting the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Comparing the model states between the PE experiment and a state estimation (SE) experiment revealed that PE can significantly reduce the uncertainty of these parameters and improve the quality of analysis. The forecasts obtained from PE and SE experiments further validate that PE has the potential to improve the forecast skill for ENSO.
High-resolution multi-scaling of outdoor human thermal comfort and its intra-urban variability based on machine learning

Published: February 2024

Abstract. As the frequency and intensity of heatwaves will continue to increase in the future, accurate and high-resolution mapping and forecasting of human outdoor thermal comfort in urban environments are of great importance. This study presents a machine-learning-based outdoor thermal comfort model with a good trade-off between computational cost, complexity, and accuracy compared to common numerical urban climate models. The machine learning approach is basically an emulation of different numerical urban climate models. The final model consists of four submodels that predict air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and mean radiant temperature based on meteorological forcing and geospatial data on building forms, land cover, and vegetation. These variables are then combined into a thermal index (universal thermal climate index – UTCI). All four submodel predictions and the final model output are evaluated using street-level measurements from a dense urban sensor network in Freiburg, Germany. The final model has a mean absolute error of 2.3 K. Based on a city-wide simulation for Freiburg, we demonstrate that the model is fast and versatile enough to simulate multiple years at hourly time steps to predict street-level UTCI at 1 m spatial resolution for an entire city. Simulations indicate that neighbourhood-averaged thermal comfort conditions vary widely between neighbourhoods, even if they are attributed to the same local climate zones, for example, due to differences in age and degree of urban vegetation. Simulations also show contrasting differences in the location of hotspots during the day and at night.
Forward modelling of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) backscatter during lake ice melt conditions using the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Monitoring of lake ice is important to maintain transportation routes, but in recent decades the number of in situ observations have declined. Remote sensing has worked to fill this gap in observations, with active microwave sensors, particularly synthetic-aperture radar (SAR), being a crucial technology. However, the impact of wet conditions on radar and how interactions change under these conditions have been largely ignored. It is important to understand these interactions as warming conditions are likely to lead to an increase in the occurrence of slush layers. This study works to address this gap using the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model to conduct forward-modelling experiments of backscatter for Lake Oulujärvi in Finland. Experiments were conducted under dry conditions, under moderate wet conditions, and under saturated conditions. These experiments reflected field observations during the 2020–2021 ice season. Results of the dry-snow experiments support the dominance of surface scattering from the ice–water interface. However, conditions where layers of wet snow are introduced show that the primary scattering interface changes depending on the location of the wet layer. The addition of a saturated layer at the ice surface results in the highest backscatter values due to the larger dielectric contrast created between the overlying dry snow and the slush layer. Improving the representation of these conditions in SMRT can also aid in more accurate retrievals of lake ice properties such as roughness, which is key for inversion modelling of other properties such as ice thickness.
Kadınlarda Alkol ve Madde Bağımlılığında Toplumsal ve Kendini Damgalama

Published: February 2024

Bağımlılık, biyolojik, psikososyal ve çevresel faktörlerin rol oynadığı kronik ruhsal bir hastalıktır. Bağımlılıkta cinsiyet faktörü önemli bir etkendir ve kadınlar bağımlılık süreçlerini erkeklerden farklı yaşarlar. Bu derleme ile kadınlardaki bağımlılık sürecinin farklılıklarına, toplumsal damgalamaya ve kadınların kendilerini damgalamalarında rol oynayabilen psikososyal unsurlara dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır. Toplumun kadın ve erkeğe yönelik değerlendirmeleri bağımlılık açısından farklılık gösterir. Toplumun kadın hastalara daha önyargılı yaklaşımı kadınların kendini damgalamalarını da şiddetlendirir. Artan kendini damgalama şiddeti, bağımlılıktan dolayı daha fazla utanç duyma, suçluluk hissetme, yalnızlaşma, benlik saygısında azalma, depresyon, sosyal olarak izole olma ve tedaviden kaçınma gibi sonuçlara neden olur. Kadının annelik rolüne atıf yapılması ve çocukların bakımı ile ilgili süreçler de tedaviden kaçınmada rol oynar. Kendini damgalayan bireyler bağımlı olduğu maddeyi kullanarak bu süreçle farkında olmadan baş etmeye çalışır. Bu durum da bağımlılık döngüsünden çıkmayı güçleştirebilir. Sonuç olarak kendini damgalamanın azaltılması için bağımlılık konusunda toplumsal farkındalığın arttırılması, toplumsal damgalamanın azaltılması, kadınların tedaviye erişiminin sağlanması, tedavi sürecinin psikoterapiler ve sosyal terapiler ile desteklenmesi, kadınlar için iş bulma fırsatlarının ve çocuk bakımı süreçlerinin oluşturulması ve kadınların sosyal destek ağlarının güçlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
Kitap İncelemesi: Michael Pollan, Arzunun Botaniği, Sevin Okyay (Çeviri), Domingo, 2011, 232 s.

Published: February 2024

Arzunun Botaniği kitabı, New York Times çok satanlar listesine giren ve iki saatlik bir belgesel olarak yayınlanan bir eserdir. Kitap temelde bitkilerin türlerini hayatta tutmak için insanlar tarafından arzulanır hale gelerek "insanı çalıştır" stratejisi geliştirdiklerini öne sürmektedir. Bu durumu açıklamak üzere Pollan kitabını; tatlılık-elma, güzellik-lale, sarhoşluk-marihuana ve kontrol-patates olmak üzere dört ayrı bölümde hazırlamıştır. Çalışmaya konu olan sarhoşluk-marijuana bölümünde yazar sarhoşluk yapan bitkilerin hayvanlar ve insanlar tarafından evrimsel dezavantajına rağmen uzun yıllardır kullanılageldiğini ifade etmektedir. Kullanım yaygınlığından sonra yazar kenevir yetiştirme deneyiminden yola çıkarak ABD’de ve Hollanda’da marijuanaya uygulanan yasal yaptırımları karşılaştırmaktadır. İlerleyen kısımlarda ise Pollan sarhoşluk kavramı üzerinde durmuş, sarhoşluğun biyolojik temelini ve insanların neden sarhoş olmak istediğini anlamaya çalışmıştır.
Sonuç olarak, hangi bitkinin kendisini nasıl tercih edilebilir kıldığı kısmı soru işaretleri doğursa da, bitkilerin insanları çalıştır stratejisi geliştirerek kendi devamlılığını sağladığı fikri homosantrik (insan merkezli) düşünceleri derinden sarsan özgün bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Marijuana bölümü ise sarhoşluk etkisi yaratan maddelerin insanlar ve hayvanlar tarafından neden ve nasıl tercih edildiğinden daha çok, kenevir bitkisinden marijuana elde etmenin inceliklerinden ve sarhoşluk etkisi yaratan pek çok bitki ve ya maddeden (41 adet) bahsetmektedir. Tüm bu detaylandırma sarhoşluğa övgü düzeyine varacak öznel ifadelerle birlikte kitabı bağlamından uzaklaştırmaktadır. Oldukça özgün bir bakış açısından yola çıkan kitabın üçüncü bölümünde esrar başta olmak üzere sarhoşluk veren bazı maddelerin kullanımını özendirici olabileceği gözlemlenmiştir.

Published: February 2024

Monetary tools, money supply, and exchange rates play a significant role in a country's growth and substantially impact its development trajectory. In order to address this issue, the study empirically examines the relationship between money supply, exchange rate, and Inflation in Pakistan. The study utilized annual time series data from 1990-2020 from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and World Development Indicators (WDI). To avoid spurious results, the Phillips-Perron unit root test and the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test were applied to check the data stationarity, which was integrated at different orders of integration. The exchange rate and inflation are stationary at the 1st difference I(1), while the money supply is stationary at the same level I(0). The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model analyzes the variables' short- and long-term relationships. The study confirms the presence of both short-run and long-run relationships among the variables. The results show that money supply and exchange rates significantly impact inflation positively. A negative and significant error correction term (ECT) indicates strong equilibrium convergence among variables. The upper and lower bounds values are below the F-statistics, indicating a significant long-term association between the statistically significant variables. The research contributes to current knowledge by presenting new awareness into the dynamic relations among money supply, exchange rate, and inflation. Furthermore, this study will help to design monetary policy to achieve specific targets to control inflation and volatility in exchange rates. It will help regulators and policymakers stabilize financial markets and the supply and demand of products, prevent pricing mechanisms and import exports, and increase the balance of payment accounts.

Authors: Roman-Lazarte Victor , Moncada-Mapelli Enrique , Galeas-Torre Maryorie K , Roman Luz A , Marcelo-Armas Maricela L
Published: February 2024

Background

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) carries significant global burden, with approximately 27% of women who have ever had a partner experiencing IPV. Additionally, substance use (alcohol and drugs) is often associated with aggressive attitudes and serves as a risk factor for IPV.

Objective

Determine the association between substance use and the recurrence of IPV in the Peruvian population in 2022.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using public data from the Ministry of Women, employing regression based on generalized linear models to calculate crude and adjusted Odds Ratios.

Results

A total of 65,290 cases of IPV were analyzed, the results revealed that 93.70% of the reports were cases of recidivism. A relationship was identified between substance use and IPV, with an Odds Ratio of 2.24 for the perpetrator’s alcohol consumption and an Odds Ratio of 2.33 for drug use.

Conclusion

Based on these findings, it can be concluded that a relationship exists between substance use and IPV, and national strategies should incorporate proper monitoring after the initial report of violence, as well as effective control of substance use among perpetrators.

In order to determine the presence of Helicobacter in shelter Dogs in Yozgat Province of Türkiye by fecal antigen test and ELISA and to treat the infection during the initial period. As the material of the study, faecal antigen test, faecal samples for ELISA, blood samples for haematological and biochemical analyses were collected from 82 dogs in Sorgun animal shelter where food and water bowls were kept in compartments. Infected and control groups were formed according to the results of the fecal antigen test. As a result of fecal antigen test, 6 of 82 animals were antigen positive and 76 were antigen negative. According to ELISA analysis; 53 dogs were antibody positive and 29 dogs were antibody negative. No significance was determined between the groups in terms of age and gender in both tests (P>0.05). Dogs in the infected group were treated according to a protocol known as triple therapy, which is used in Helicobacter infections. WBC, NEU and MON counts, RDW and % NEU values of the infected group were higher in the hematological examination, while the % LYM values were significantly lower than the control group. In the biochemical examination, the concentrations TNF–α (21.17 pg·mL-1 vs. 48.21 pg·mL-1), IL–1β (73.41 pg·mL-1 vs. 37.60 pg·mL-1) (P<0.01) and CRP (644.0 mg·dL-1 vs. 234.01 mg·dL-1) (P<0.001) were found to be higher than those of the control group. As a result, it was determined in the study that the presence of Helicobacter was intense in dogs that were in one–to–one contact with each other, including the feeding of dogs in shelter conditions. With the methods used in the study, it is predicted that the presence of Helicobacter can be detected and treated in the early stages, thus preventing transmission of Helicobacter in dogs.

The study aimed to examine the effects of Azoxymethane (AOM), Diallyl Disulfide (DADS), and corn oil on the humerus and femur in rats. In the study, 40 male Wistar Albino rats, 12 weeks old, were used. The animals were divided into four different groups (Control, AOM, DADS and Corn oil). After the experimental period, all animals were anesthetized and sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Humerus and femur from long bones resected from all animal groups. The maximum length, proximal width, distal width, diaphysis diameter, cortex thickness and cavum medullare diameter of the bones were measured. After the morphometric measurements index 1, index 2, robusticity index, and bone weight/bone length index were calculated for the bones. No difference was observed in the morphometric measurements and indices performed on the humerus. A statistical difference in proximal width and robusticity index was detected between the groups in the femur. A difference was observed between the AOM group and the Control/corn oil groups in proximal width. A difference was detected between the AOM group and the Control group in the robustness index, and it was determined that AOM caused a decrease in density and strength in bones. It is thought that the findings obtained in this study will contribute to the evaluation of the effects of cancer research using AOM on bones in rats.

R.K. Narayan is considered one of the most eminent Indian authors in the English language. Narayan mostly focuses on portraying middle-class folks from Malgudi, a fictional location he created in South India. His writings feature a diverse array of male and female characters. Within each of his novels, there exists a female character that holds a significant role in the narrative. Rosie, in The Guide, is one such female character. She embodies a contemporary woman who is well-educated and driven, who aspires to achieve financial independence based on her own preferences and abilities, despite facing significant sacrifices. Raju's mother and Velan's sister are among the other female characters depicted in the story. Raju's mother embodies the conservative and orthodox ladies who adhere to tradition and culture. She is a conscientious spouse and an affectionate parent. She provides guidance to both Raju and Rosie regarding moral principles and ethical conduct. However, if her advice is ignored, she departs from her residence and accompanies her brother to reside with him. Velan's sister has a little yet significant part in the narrative, as her presence contributes to portraying Raju as a saintly figure. This research aims to investigate this particular component of R.K. in a modest manner. The characterisation of Narayan.

Nível Sérico dos Imunossupressores como Marcador de Efetividade da Educação farmacêutica no Transplante de Órgãos Sólidos
Authors: Luz Thayse Ventura , Alves Paola Hoff , Muneretto Camila Silva
Published: February 2024

Os indivíduos acometidos por doenças graves que comprometem algum órgão específico, muitas vezes, necessitam do transplante de órgãos sólidos. A terapia imunossupressora e a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso influenciam nos desfechos clínicos positivos, como aumento da sobrevida do enxerto e melhora na qualidade de vida. Diante disso, a atuação do farmacêutico clínico a nível hospitalar e ambulatorial mediante acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico propicia a otimização do tratamento pós-transplante. Objetivos: Avaliar o reflexo da educação farmacêutica, bem como o acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico na adequação do nível sérico dos inibidores de calcineurina em pacientes receptores de órgãos sólidos. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e retrospectivo com pacientes adultos transplantados hepático e pulmonar em uso de inibidores de calcineurina. O índice de variação foi utilizado para avaliar a adequação do nível sérico em três períodos distintos. Resultados: Foram incluídos 64 pacientes no estudo, sendo 45 transplantes hepáticos e 19 pulmonares. Em análise de subgrupo, cerca de 50% da população não apresentou conformidade do nível sérico na primeira consulta pós-alta. Após um ano do procedimento cirúrgico e dos diferentes acompanhamentos ambulatoriais, o nível sérico alvo alcançou 63,16% no transplante hepático e 77,78% no transplante pulmonar. Conclusão: A importância da atuação do farmacêutico clínico baseia-se no reflexo obtido na adequação e conformidade dos níveis séricos dos inibidores de calcineurina, de forma não exclusiva aos dados iniciais avaliados no hospital no período imediato, mas principalmente no seguimento farmacoterapêutico realizado de modo ambulatorial, em que observamos um valor mais expressivo.

Published: February 2024

Background: Psoriasis is a relatively common inflammatory disease globally with systemic implications and the treatment of psoriasis has advanced rapidly in recent years. However, current treatments, especially anti tumor necrosis factor (TNF) treatments, can lead to tuberculosis.
Objectives: This study's objective was to analyze tuberculosis and psoriasis-related literature that was published between 1970 and 2021 by using scientometric techniques.
Methods: In this bibliometric analysis study, the Web of Science database was used to find the articles on psoriasis and tuberculosis that were published between 1970 and 2021. The VOSviewer software program was used to generate visualization knowledge maps including co-citation, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and keyword analysis.
Results: A total of 127 documents in the field of psoriasis and tuberculosis were indexed in the Web of Science database. The first reports were in 1971, but until 2004 there was no other publications. Since 2010 the number of publications started to increase. The most of the publications were articles (49.606%) and 91.339% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded indexed journals. 576 authors contributed to psoriasis and tuberculosis literature from 36 countries. The United States (n=26), Italy (n=21), Spain (n=12) were the first 3 countries in the number of publications. The most of the articles were from Dermatology (n=93, 73%) and Rheumatology (n=11, 9%) research areas.
Conclusion: As can be understood from this current study on psoriasis and tuberculosis, it has become more popular, especially with anti-TNF treatments. This study recommends focusing more on tuberculosis, especially in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients receiving anti-TNF therapy.

Backround: The aim of this study is to evaluate how competent family medicine residents see themselves in the interventional competency goals targeted in emergency medicine rotation and the factors associated with their competency levels.

Methods: The study is a methodological and cross-sectional study carried out between 01 May-31 October 2022. 138 family medicine residents who completed their emergency medicine rotation and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. In the questionnaire used to collect data in the study, there were the Emergency Medicine Rotation Interventional Competence Scale (EMRICS) developed by the researchers based on the family medicine specialty training curriculum and sociodemographic characteristics.

Results: The mean ages of the study group 29.71±4.27 (Mean±SD) years, and 60.10% (n:83) were women. The mean scores obtained from the scale in the study group were 59.86±11.72 (Mean±SD). While the interventional competence in which family physician residents had the highest proficiency was arterial blood gas with 97.80% (n:135), the lowest was tracheostomy with 15.20% (n:21). Evaluation of BLS (p:0.037), intubation (p:0.028), tracheostomy (p:0.034), trauma patient assessment (p:0.004) in the study group who applied five or more applications received higher EMRICS than those who did not apply at all.

Conclusion: In order to achieve the desired competence in interventional competency goals, it is recommended to be repeated at least 5 times.

Published: February 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Approximately 15% of PD patients have a family history of the disease in one or more first-degree relatives, and 5-10% of PD cases exhibit a classical Mendelian inheritance pattern. In 1997, the heritable transmission of PD was first documented. Recent studies have found 90 independent genome-wide signals at 78 loci that may be associated with PD. The identification of genes linked to PD and their functions has uncovered novel biological pathways and treatment options that play a role in the development of PD. In this article, it is aimed to review up-to-date information on the genetics of PD.
