«Working with data pertaining to 7450 cardiovascular - related deaths that occurred within Budapest, Hungary, between 1995 and 2004 — where the deceased were «medico - legally autopsied» — Toro et al. looked for potential relationships between daily maximum, minimum and mean temperature, air humidity, air pressure, wind speed, global radiation and daily
numbers of the heart - related deaths... scientists
report and restate their primary finding numerous times throughout their paper, writing that (1) «both the maximum and the minimum daily temperatures tend to be lower when more death
cases occur in a day,» (2) «on the days with four or more death
cases, the daily maximum and minimum temperatures tend to be lower than on days without any cardiovascular death events,» (3) «the largest frequency
of cardiovascular death
cases was detected in cold and cooling weather conditions,» (4) «we found a
significant negative relationship between temperature and cardiovascular mortality,» (5) «the analysis
of 6 - hour change
of air pressure suggests that more acute or chronic vascular death
cases occur during increasing air pressure conditions (implying cold weather fronts),» (6) «we found a high frequency
of cardiovascular death in cold weather,» (7) «a
significant negative relationship was detected between daily maximum [and] minimum temperature [s] and the
number of sudden cardiovascular death
cases,» and (8) «a
significant negative correlation was detected between daily mean temperature and cardiovascular mortality.»
How wonderful it would be if CanLII could also provide subject access (in the form
of case digests organized by key topical catchwords or key
numbers) to an intelligent selection
of significant case law (formerly known as «
reported»
case law).
