STUDY OBJECTIVE Studies in Europe and North America have reported that living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood is associated with an increased incidence of coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that exposure to traffic and air pollution might account for some of the socioeconomic differences in mortality rates in a city where residents are covered by universal...

Tissue reactions (deterministic effects) become manifest either early or late after doses above a threshold dose, which is the basis for recommended dose limits for avoiding such effects. Threshold doses have been defined for comparative purposes at 1% incidence of an effect, although the choice of incidence level may be scenario-dependent in practice. Latency time before manifestation is relat...

Background & Aim: Free radicals play a crucial role in the development of tissue damage in various human diseases such as cancer, aging, neurodegenerative disease, malaria and arteriosclerosis, and pathological events in living organisms. Antioxidants may have an important role in the prevention of these diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate potency of scavenging of DPPH free radicals ...

• The dog has been widely used in experimental procedures designed to approximate congestive failure of the circulatory system. It is not generally realized that many dogs are affected by spontaneous heart disease that resembles human congestive failure and other forms of human heart disease. Although the life span of dogs is relatively short in comparison to that of man, the more rapid aging p...
