Finally, obesity can be the result of infection by an agent that makes us get fat.

In November 2003, the Natural History Museum in London held an exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of its exposure.

The earlier atmospheric tests therefore remain the principal source of world wide exposure due to weapons testing.

The preambular paragraph also failed to deal adequately with the various causes of vulnerability.

These people have a tremendous potential to tan, to develop more pigment in their skin, as a result of exposure to sun.

Central nervous system toxicity is caused by short exposure to high partial pressures of oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure.

The Committee has also needed to adopt a consistent method of describing quantitatively the probability and severity of stochastic effects of an exposure to radiation.

The operations needed to produce the world supply of nuclear weapons are also a source of exposure.

Past testing in the atmosphere of nuclear devices still contributes to world wide exposures.

People from ethnic minorities are less likely to suffer from high cholesterol levels, but more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and obesity.

One important effect of exposure to radiation in utero is a dose related increase in mental impairment, up to and including severe mental retardation.

Case control studies are particularly useful in examining the effects of exposure to radon in dwellings on the risk of lung cancer.

It is most often a result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or from artificial sources, such as a tanning bed.

Along with that, significant worsening of the health state of the population has arisen as a consequence of exposure to long term stress, that is, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

They've pretty much set field exposure limits, which all of the things in the stuff I'll show you today sort of sit underneath those guidelines.

The two models with decreasing relative risk factors reduce the estimates of lifetime risk following a single exposure by a factor of about 2 for exposure in the first decade of life and by a factor of 1.5 in the second decade, with only a small effect for older ages at exposure.

A short term exposure limit is one that addresses the average exposure over a 15 30 minute period of maximum exposure during a single work shift.

In particular, an examination has been made of available models for projecting risk to give estimates of the lifetime probability of death caused by exposure to radiation.

High vitamin D levels, I think, are a marker for sunlight exposure, and sunlight exposure, in methods I'm going to show, is good for heart disease.

Furthermore, although the underground debris remains a potential source of human exposure, mainly locally, most of it will be contained.

However, in the light of more recent reports it is unlikely that any of these clusters or excesses are the result of either environmental radiation or paternal exposure.

Production of botulinum toxin and anthrax began with the use of bench top fermenters, and experimentation commenced using a range of animals to study inhalation and other exposure routes and effects.

Further away, the uncontrolled consumption of milk and inhalation were significant sources of exposure, with iodine 131 and polonium 210 being the two most important nuclides.

Alternatively, the evidence is not sufficient to establish a real, foreseeable and personal risk of being subjected to torture and the communication should be dismissed for lack of merit.

There is no convincing evidence of adverse effects of DDT exposure as a result of correctly implemented indoor residual spraying as carried out in malaria control activities There is therefore, at this stage, no justification on toxicological or epidemiological grounds for changing current policy and recommended practices towards indoor spraying of DDT for vector borne disease control,

Populations that can be subdivided according to exposure include the Life Span Study group in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, groups of patients undergoing radiotherapy and some occupational groups.

10. The Committee has examined the epidemiological studies that could be used to derive risk estimates from external, sparsely ionizing (low linear energy transfer (LET)) radiation exposures at high and low dose rates.

The World Bank adds that women aged 15 44 are more likely to experience rape or domestic violence than cancer, car accidents, war, or malaria.

Crucially, but inevitably, they did not agree when, or under what circumstances, Blair would fulfil his side of the bargain.

The current conflict of opinion on the health effects of natural and medical low dose radiation exposure needed to be resolved by the collection of more direct data, both ecological and epidemiological.

The annual probability varies with time after exposure, and the most useful summarizing expression is the probability over the whole of life of dying prematurely as the result of the extra exposure.

People diagnosed with schizophrenia are more likely to have been born in winter or spring (at least in the northern hemisphere), which may be a result of increased rates of viral exposures in utero.

Long term chronic testing of n PB has shown it to be both neurotoxic and toxic to the reproductive systems of both males and females, and strict exposure limits have been set.

For the Committee apos s purposes, the most appropriate quantity for expressing the lifetime risk of death due to exposure to radiation is the risk of exposure induced death, sometimes called the lifetime probability of attributable cancer.

The threshold for temporary sterility in the male for a single short exposure is about 0.15 Gy, while for prolonged exposures the threshold dose rate is about 0.4 Gy per year.

Much still needs to be learned about the specific details and mechanisms of air pollution exposure and impacts on both human and ecosystem health however, current scientific understanding provides ample evidence to warrant urgent action.

That Committee rightly considered lack of economic diversification as an indicator of the exposure to shocks and recognized that small countries tended to be more vulnerable to external shocks than large ones (E 2005 33, paras. 26 and 27).

Post traumatic amnesia (PTA) is a state of confusion that occurs immediately following a traumatic brain injury in which the injured person is disoriented and unable to remember events that occur after the injury.

6.6 The Committee finds that the information submitted by the complainant, including the local and low level nature of his political activities in Bangladesh, does not contain evidence to support the claim that he will run a substantial risk of being subjected to torture if he returns to Bangladesh.

27. People with certain recessive hereditary diseases, such as ataxia telangiectasia and retinoblastoma, are known to be sensitive to radiation exposure and are more likely to develop second cancers if treated with radiation.

In the Indian Ocean region, both international and national organizations working in the tsunami recovery effort have aimed at balancing the need for rapid recovery while addressing the structural causes of risk and vulnerability.
