Dukers et al. Respond to "Sexual Practices Associated with HHV8 Infection"

Good Laboratory Practices: Myers et al. Respond

Clayton et al. respond.

Lusk et al. respond.

We thank Schimek for his thoughtful letter. We agree that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) encourages bike paths; however, AASHTO’s definition of a bike path is a shared use path for pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other nonmotorized users. AASHTO discourages bicycle-only cycle tracks because, as noted by Schimek, AASHTO discou...

Invited commentary: determining specific sexual practices associated with human herpesvirus 8 transmission.

Laboratory and epidemiologic studies have established human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) as an etiologic agent of Kaposi's sarcoma. With strong evidence linking HHV8 infection with the number of sexual partners among homosexual men, the challenge now is to determine the specific sexual acts associated with HHV8 transmission. Initial studies of specific practices, however, have differed in their conclus...

Nanotoxicology: Gangwal et al. Respond

Gangwal et al. (2011) addressed an important topic for nanotoxicology about assessing the toxicity of inhaled nano materials by recom mending relevant concentrations for in vitro toxicity testing. Their efforts to select in vitro concentrations based on reported occupational exposure levels of inhaled nano materials are, indeed, laudable. Their under lying conceptual approach is logical, involv...
