2,314,487 | Differences in reproductive risk factors for breast cancer in middle-aged women in Marin County, California and a sociodemographically similar area of Northern California. | The Northern California county of Marin (MC) has historically had high breast cancer incidence rates. Because of MC's high socioeconomic status (SES) and racial homogeneity (non-Hispanic White), it has been difficult to assess whether these elevated rates result from a combination of established risk factors or other b... |
2,314,488 | Reactor performance and microbial community of an EGSB reactor operated at 20 and 15 degrees C. | To investigate the effects of low temperatures on the performance and microbial community of anaerobic wastewater treatment.</AbstractText>An expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor was employed to treat synthetic brewery wastewater at 20 and 15 degrees C. Reactor performance was represented by chemical oxygen dema... |
2,314,489 | Hormone replacement therapy and cardiovascular health in the United States. | Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was widely used among postmenopausal women until 2002 because observational studies suggested that HRT reduced cardiovascular risk. The Women's Health Initiative randomized trial reported opposite results in 2002, which caused HRT use to drop sharply.</AbstractText>We examine the relat... |
2,314,490 | Biohydrogen production in a three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor using sewage sludge immobilized by ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. | Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer was used to immobilize H(2)-producing sewage sludge for H(2) production in a three-phase fluidized bed reactor (FBR). The FBR with an immobilized cell packing ratio of 10% (v/v) and a liquid recycle rate of 5l/min (23% bed expansion) was optimal for dark H(2) fermentation. The per... |

2,314,492 | The benefits of oestrogen following menopause: why hormone replacement therapy should be offered to postmenopausal women. | Recently, two major epidemiological studies found that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women increased the risk of breast cancer. One of the studies also found that HRT increased the risk of cardiovascular disease and thrombosis. As a consequence, women were advised to cease this therapy. However, d... |
