OFTT was given to 33 men with MetS (defined by the Adult Treatment Panel III), 17 HTN and 14 healthy men. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The MetS group was further divided according to fasting triglycerides (TG) into TG > = 150 [MetS + TG, (n = 22)] or < 150 mg/dl [MetS-TG (n = 11)], and into those with or without hypertension [MetS + HTN (n = 24), MetS-HTN (n = 9), respectively]. | {

} | [] |
TG concentrations were measured before and at 4, 6 and 8 h after OFTT and the postprandial response was quantified using the area under the curve (AUC) for TG. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The postprandial response was significantly higher in MetS compared to HTN and healthy men [AUC (SD) in mg/dl/h; 2534 +/-1016 vs. 1620 +/-494 and 1019 +/-280, respectively, p < = 0. 001]. | {

Conclusions | {

Only after careful consideration of the biological underpinnings of a truly beneficial response can an exposure be considered for the general population, such as the addition of folic acid to cereals. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
If a toxic or hazardous pollutant were found to have truly beneficial effects at low dose, then that agent should be tested clinically, go through the U. S. | {

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process, and be regulated as a pharmaceutical for those who might benefit from its use. | {

For pharmaceuticals, it is understood that there are trade offs between benefits and risks. | {

For example, although aspirin is a generally well-tolerated pain reliever and is increasingly advocated as a preventative tool for heart attacks and colorectal cancer (Vainio and Miller 2003; Werner et al. 2004), it is also linked to increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, cerebral hemorrhage (Werner et al. 2004),... | {

In addition, aspirin is not recommended for children or teenagers who have or are recovering from chicken pox or flulike symptoms because it can cause debilitating and sometimes lethal Reyes syndrome (U. S. FDA 2003). | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
Individual risks to pharmaceutical agents can be controlled with proper usage; however, increased exposure to environmental toxins presents additional involuntary risks for the general population. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
Under the latter condition, exposure is inadequately controlled, and there is no mechanism to correct for individual circumstances (e. g., medical condition or age) that may result in harm. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
Although hormetic effects may occur in some instances, it is indeed rare that exposures to toxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and carcinogenic chemicals, even at low exposure levels, would be risk free and provide health benefits for the general public. | {

Portraying chemicals with numerous adverse effects as having benefits while ignoring their hazards is irresponsible and does not provide full and objective disclosure. | {

In the 1950s doctors prescribed DES to pregnant women to prevent miscarriage and premature births and to produce " bigger and stronger babies " even though DES had been shown to cause damage to reproductive tissues in animals (Dinusson et al. 1948; Dunn and Green 1963; Takasugi and Bern 1964). | {

Human use of DES was banned in the United States in 1971 after the discovery of high rates of rare, clear-cell adenocarcinomas of the vagina and cervix in DES-exposed daughters (Herbst 1981), and later studies showed elevated breast cancer risk in women who took DES during pregnancy (Titus-Ernstoff et al. 2001). | {

Certainly, health policy decisions should be based on scientific evidence and not on speculation of health benefits in order for the general population to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past similar to that of the DES tragedy. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The claims and projections of health benefits from exposures to environmental toxicants and carcinogens are based on untested assumptions and disregard numerous well-established scientific principles that underpin a public health-protective approach to regulating exposure to toxic substances. | {

} | [] |
If hormesis were used in the decision-making process to allow higher exposures to toxic and carcinogenic agents, this would substantially increase health risks for many, if not most, segments of the general population. | {

The set of E. coli expression vectors, encode for either a hexa-histidine tag or the three most commonly used solubility tags (GST, MBP, NusA) and all with an N-terminal hexa-histidine sequence. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The result is two-fold: the His-tag facilitates purification by immobilised metal affinity chromatography, whilst the fusion domains act primarily as solubility aids during expression, in addition to providing an optional purification step. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
We have also incorporated a TEV recognition sequence following the solubility tag domain, which allows for highly specific cleavage (using TEV protease) of the fusion protein to yield native protein. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
These vectors are also designed for ligation-independent cloning and they possess a high-level expressing T7 promoter, which is suitable for auto-induction. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
To validate our vector system, we have cloned four different genes and also one gene into all four vectors and used small-scale expression and purification techniques. | {

} | [] |
We demonstrate that the vectors are capable of high levels of expression and that efficient screening of new proteins can be readily achieved at the laboratory level. | {

Conclusion | {

} | [] |
The survey indicated that, the study area has plenty of medicinal plants to treat a wide spectrum of human ailments. | {

Earlier studies on traditional medicinal plants also revealed that the economically backward local and tribal people of Tamil Nadu prefer folk medicine due to low cost and sometimes it is a part of their social life and culture [40-45]. | {

} | [] |
It is evident from the interviews conducted in different villages, knowledge of medicinal plants is limited to traditional healers, herbalists and elderly persons who are living in rural areas. | {

In order to specifically evaluate urban medical systems vulnerability we are employing the PC based Consequence Assessment Tool Set (CATS) v6, with ESRI' s ArcGIS9 [14], CATS/JACE (Joint Assessment of Catastrophic Events) v5 with ESRI' s ArcView 3. 3, Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) V4. 04SP3 [15], a... | {

These models have been, and continue to be, developed with a view to better estimating the impact of WMD weapons in an offensive setting. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
However, recent DTRA enhancements and our modifications have facilitated their use in helping estimate potential casualties from a WMD terrorist incident. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
One area of intense interest, and somewhat of a vacuum in public health planning, has been the utility of this approach in estimating medical care vulnerabilities in such an attack, and for the calculation of the distribution of surviving medical care resources. | {
"entities": {}

While much work has already occurred in estimating the impact of chemical weapons (due to the dual use in chemical spill management from transportation and industrial accidents), or in nuclear power plant accident management, much less research and development has gone into estimating the impact on our civilian populat... | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The models already calculate such factors as the impact of blast, thermal effects and fallout, but results are often not available at the detail level needed for civil defense purposes, casualty management, and planning the use of scarce health resources in response to a nuclear weapon detonation. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
Furthermore, the models do not readily facilitate the calculation of injuries from multiple effects such as burns and blast with fallout or prompt radiation. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The complexity of the urban three-dimensional landscape and its local impact on thermal, blast and radiation is also poorly understood. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
Additionally, given their traditional world-wide focus, and the increased sensitivity to providing information on the U. S. A. of use to terrorists, the models do not provide detailed or current data that exists for the United States that would help provide better casualty estimates and response. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
The models can be customized locally and data updated if the user has sufficient expertise. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
However, there is often a significant duplication of effort due to overlapping jurisdictions and the lack of data sharing due to security and other considerations. | {
"entities": {}
} | [] |
CATS and HPAC are also useful for creating realistic scenarios for training and planning before a disaster strikes, thus enabling responders to drill and exercise so they know roughly what to expect and how to react. | {
