Other medical research areas include the topics of pre-exposure prophylaxis, post-exposure prophylaxis, and circumcision and HIV.
As part of its mission to educate the public about exposures to toxic materials in the workplace, NIOSH has pulled together a variety of resources on the topic of lead exposure and effects and made them available at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/lead/.
Further discussion of some common epidemiological study designs that may be useful for investigating the topic of recreational exposure to aquatic cyanobacteria, with particular emphasis on the relative advantages and disadvantages of experimental epidemiology (randomised trials) is presented by Stewart [ 75].
Overall, folic acid, alcohol, and cigarettes have consistently been topics of focus, while exposure to harmful environmental substances, stress, and sleep have been largely neglected.
At present, repeated exposure assessments are available for a limited number of exposure topics (e.g. outdoor air pollution, allergens and microbial agents, smoking and SHS exposure, and phenols).
The topic of combined exposures to endocrine disruptors (EDs) has long been regarded as important, not least because of the continuing discovery of ever new chemicals with endocrine-disrupting potential and the realization that exposure is to a multitude of chemicals simultaneously, not to single agents.
Additionally, we reviewed identified articles and reviews on the topics of NMSC and ultraviolet exposure closely to locate additional articles.
But it is a great way for trainee scientists to gain exposure to topics of interest across the disciplines, and to help them to determine how to get the training they need to become the kind of scientists they want to be.
One of the major topics concerned exposure to depleted uranium from the aircraft's balance weights, particularly because some of the depleted uranium has never been recovered from the rubble [ 1].
Future studies will require a more precise measure of exposure to suicide reports and related topics via the Internet.
