Shelter dogs, therefore, provide a sensitive population for assessment of local canine transmission risk, and we suggest that awareness of kissing bugs and Chagas disease risk among citizens and the medical community should be heightened in areas where seropositive dogs are detected.
Most of the time, no single diagnostic will be available, and more complex decision rules will be required to define a sensitive population, using, for instance, mRNA expression, protein expression or DNA copy number.
In most cases, however, a single diagnostic marker is not available, and more complex decision rules will be required to define a sensitive population based upon, for instance, mRNA expression, protein expression or DNA copy number.
Our analysis showed that the evolutionary processes acting on the fluoroquinolone resistant gonococcal population from Shanghai shared many features with what we previously described for a fluoroquinolone sensitive population from Baltimore [ 17- 19].
Moreover, when data for all sensitive populations were pooled and compared to the pooled data for all tolerant populations, the AHR2 locus emerged as a significant outlier.
Bio-concentration in fish and shellfish poses a risk for sensitive population categories such as pregnant women and infants.
The Early Development Instrument (EDI) [ 19, 20] was devised in Canada in response to this need for a universal, holistic, sensitive population measure of early child development outcomes that measures how well communities prepare their children for school [ 21].
Although clinical features, particularly smoking history, help physicians for identifying the sensitive population, a proper patient selection should not preclude to drug target assessment.
For those chemicals with established regulatory limits, Wilson says the results indicate that PAH contamination of shrimp after the oil spill was not a serious health concern for this sensitive population.
The F.D.A. says that infants are "a potentially sensitive population for BPA" because their brains and endocrine systems are still developing, and their livers are less efficient than adults' at detoxifying and eliminating foreign substances.
