A MODEL OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE GIVING A PLAUSIBLE MECHANISM FOR THE EFFECT OF FRACTIONATED LOW-DOSE IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE.

A model of cardiovascular disease giving a plausible mechanism for the effect of fractionated low-dose ionizing radiation exposure.

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease and stroke, the two major causes of death in developed society.There is emerging evidence of excess risk of cardiovascular disease at low radiation doses in various occupationally exposed groups receiving small daily radiation doses.Assuming that they are causal, the mechanisms for effects

Community-based actions in consulates: a new paradigm for opportunities for systematic integration in Chagas disease detection

Abstract Research has shown that multidimensional approaches to Chagas disease (CD), integrating its biomedical and psycho-socio-cultural components, are successful in enhancing early access to diagnosis, treatment and sustainable follow-up.For the first ICE WAX time, a consulate was selected for a community-based CD detection campaign.Two differen
