These issues, plus cost considerations and radiation exposure, underscore the need for further evaluation of imaging technology to maximize potential benefit in terms of identifying disease and instituting intensive therapy in this high-risk patient population.
However, the increasing incidence and prevalence of a number of diseases with potential links to environmental exposures underscores the need for improved tracking to increase our understanding of risk factors, identify populations at high risk, inform priorities for research, and develop coordinated prevention efforts.
Comparability of these results, despite differences in populations and exposure metrics, underscores the robustness of this latest group of findings.
The importance of recognition and diagnosis of mild presentations of anaphylaxis (for example, rash and vomiting after an allergen exposure) is underscored by a study by Pumphrey.
This outbreak demonstrates that typical design features of concrete bridges (Volle 2002) can support occult areas of H. capsulatum exposure, further underscoring the importance of respirator use even in the absence of bat roosts or guano by routine visual inspection.
New multidisciplinary studies examining the complex associations between genes, socioeconomics, and environmental exposures only underscore the need to include more minority participants in biomedical research.
These data reflect the potential developmental toxicity of antiestrogenic PCBs, particularly during the sensitive preconception critical window among women with environmentally relevant chemical exposures, and underscore the importance of PCB congener specific investigation.
This educational disparity in SHS exposure among Bangladeshis underscores the need for targeted educational interventions to improve health-related knowledge among the less educated Bangladeshis and emphasize the promotion of smoke-free home policies to this disadvantaged population group.
By drafting her as a coach for "The Ultimate Fighter," the company hoped to increase her exposure, while also underscoring its commitment to women fighters: for the first time, the contestants were divided evenly between women and men, competing for two separate U.F.C. contracts.
