Using a novel compartmentalised model of site-specific excitotoxin exposure in lower motor neurons in vitro, we found that spinal motor neurons are vulnerable to somatodendritic, but not axonal, excitotoxin exposure.
Although high fish consumers may possibly have been oversampled, it is more likely that the avoidance of known exposure hot-spots resulted in lowered exposure estimates.
Environmental and biological monitoring studies in the United States demonstrate that use restrictions were successful in lowering human exposure to DDT.
As the dust exposures in lower Manhattan gradually diminished in weeks 1 4 after 11 September, women gradually returned to that area for longer time periods.
Although this study did not assess exposure pathways, the results support earlier evidence that inadequate ventilation and deteriorating PBDE-treated foam from aging or poorly maintained furniture may contribute to disproportionately high PBDE exposures in lower-income homes.
The problem of confounding in environmental neuroepidemiology has led some to speculate about the advantages of studying chemical or drug exposures in lower risk populations for the purpose of reducing confounding and thus strengthening associations between measures of dose and disease (e.g., Bellinger 1995).
The significant association of EI with questionnaire data on exposure and air quality indicates that personal recollection may be a reasonable way to estimate a person's relative exposure intensity in lower Manhattan after 11 September.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a common relapsing disorder largely caused by repeated exposure in the lower oesophagus to the retrograde flow of gastric contents [ 1].
Furthermore, higher polysorbate 80 exposure resulted in lower unbound docetaxel clearance.
