The developing fetus and child are particularly vulnerable to several known and suspected developmental neurotoxicants in e-waste.
Although these coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, little is known on the effects of climate change variables on the structure and productivity of MPB communities.
Although coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change, little is known on the effects of variables such as elevated temperature or CO2 availability on MPB productivity and related ecosystem services.
They focused on species likely to encounter waterfowl such as geese and ducks, which are known to be particularly vulnerable to H5N1.In this section No hiding place?
Amphibians are known to be particularly vulnerable to human activities because they rely on both terrestrial and aquatic habitats for survival.
The potential mechanisms involved have not been established, however, human spermatozoa are known to be particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress by virtue of the abundant availability of substrates for free radical attack and the lack of cytoplasmic space to accommodate antioxidant enzymes.
1 Older people are known to be particularly vulnerable to complications, with a Canadian study finding that 14% of older adults experienced an adverse event while in hospital.
Increased basal ganglia metabolism may seem counterintuitive, although HIV-infected astrocytes require increased glucose to proliferate [ 50], and the basal ganglia are known to be particularly vulnerable to HIV [ 35].
In our rabbit model, 24 hours after SAH-induction, microclot formation paralleled by apoptotic brain cells marked by TUNEL was predominantly distributed in the hippocampus, a brain region known to be particularly vulnerable to transient ischemia [ 43].
Children are known to be particularly vulnerable to Hg, prolonged exposure to which may cause impairment of the developing central nervous system, along with attendant personality, motor function, and behavioral disorders (Counter and Buchanan 2004; Davidson et al. 2004; Levy et al. 2004).
