revealed that the cancer detection rate for those screened with low-radiation dose computed tomography was more than twofold higher in light- or never-smokers with a family history of lung cancer compared with high-risk persons with more than 30 or more pack-years exposure and meeting U.S. Pr...

Exposure to second-hand smoke places dogs at higher risk of cancer, premature aging, and respiratory problems. Third-hand smoke is a particular problem since residues accumulate on the floor where dogs tend to dwell. Dogs living with a smoker are six times more likely contract a lethal bladde...
DSC was supported by a NHLI Foundation PhD studentship, and VJ by a PhD studentship of the MRC Doctoral Training Partnership. We acknowledge funding from the MRC (MR/K015834/1). Author information Author notes David S. Corcoran Present address: Department of Biological Science, Florida State ...
Because cone-beam exposure provides a radiation dose to the patient higher than any other imaging Summary The development and rapid commercialization of CBCT technology dedicated for use in the maxillofacial region will undoubtedly increase general and specialist practitioner access to this imaging modality...
One- and two-sample MR using 24 CHIP-associated polymorphisms18 as the instruments (Supplementary Table 7) found that higher genetic risk of CHIP was associated with reduced odds of AD using the weighted median estimator (OR = 0.90 per 1 log-odds increase in risk of CHIP, P = 3...
Although the buffer tank presents the lowest CAPEX among the storage solutions studied, its LCOE is still higher than the other two storage solutions due to its lower energy savings. Gas boilers at current gas prices are still the most economical option, however they match the LCOE of packed ...
" which are short, fat and tapered. The rods are specialized to work under dim light conditions. Not surprisingly, dogs have a much higher proportion of rods in their eyes than humans do, but they also have an additional mechanism to meet the needs of night-hunting that is not fou...
A meta-analysis of 27 studies reported a summary odds ratio for cerebrovascular disease of 1.9 for every 0.68-mg/L (5 μmol/L) increment in total HCY level (tHcy),3 while another such analysis reported an odds ratio of 3.97 if the tHcy level was higher than the 95th percentile.4 The ...
Calcined LMP has a higher specific surface area and more abundant pores in diameter range of 4–24 nm than that of calcined limestone, which facilitate desulfurization (Li et al., 2012). It indicated that the feasibility of desulfuration using LMP could be successfully achieved with amounts ...
