ON HARMONIZATION OF HEALTH RISK INDICATORS CAUSED BY IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE AND OTHER HARMFUL FACTORS BASED ON DALY ESTIMATES

On harmonization of health risk indicators caused by ionizing radiation exposure and other harmful factors based on DALY estimates

Radiation detriment is a basic measure which is currently applied to assess health risks caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.This concept was developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) more than 30 years ago; it has both certain advantages and drawbacks that limit the scope of its possible application.A certain

Maternal influenza vaccine strategies in Kenya: Which approach would have the greatest impact on disease burden in pregnant women and young infants?

Recent influenza surveillance data from Africa suggest an important burden of influenza-associated morbidity and mortality.In tropical countries where influenza virus transmission may not be confined to a single season alternative strategies for vaccine distribution via antenatal care (ANC) or semiannual campaigns should be considered.Using data on

45S rDNA regions are chromosome fragile sites expressed as gaps in vitro on metaphase chromosomes of root-tip meristematic cells in Lolium spp.

BackgroundIn humans, chromosome fragile sites are regions that are especially prone to forming non-staining gaps, constrictions or breaks in one or both of the chromatids on metaphase chromosomes either spontaneously or following partial inhibition of DNA synthesis and have been well identified.So far, no plant chromosome fragile sites similar to t
