Commentary: Using Potential Outcomes to Understand Causal Mediation Analysis
We begin our discussion by congratulating Maxwell, Cole, and Mitchell (2011; hereafter MCM) for providing a thought-provoking article that tackles the challenging problem of conducting mediation analysis in longitudinal settings. As MCM clearly demonstrated, although mediation analysis plays an essential role in psychological research, conducting such an analysis requires researchers to underst...
متن کاملEnvironmental lead exposure increases micronuclei in children.
The objective of this pilot study was to investigate the contribution of environmental exposures to lead in the development of cytogenetic damage detected as the frequency of micronuclei (MN) in children. The other aim was to apply the MN assay in combination with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using a pan-centromeric chromosome probe to elucidate the formation mechanism of induced M...
متن کاملExposure to lead in children--how low is low enough?
Encephalopathy in childhood due to lead poisoning was described more than 100 years ago, and cognitive sequelae after recovery were reported in 1943. During the past three decades, epidemiologic studies have demonstrated inverse associations between blood lead concentrations and children’s IQs at successively lower lead concentrations. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...
متن کاملExposure to lead affects male biothiols metabolism.
The most important biothiols include glutathione, homocysteine (HCY), cysteine and proteins. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the influence of lead on the biothiol turnover--the concentration of HCY and protein sulfhydryl groups (P-SH) in the serum and reduced glutathione (G-SH) in erythrocytes--in individuals (employees of metal works) exposed to lead and to evaluate its probable...
