In 2008, planned folic acid fortification for the prevention of Neural Tube Defects (NTD) was postponed. Concurrently, the economic recession may have affected dietary folic acid intake, placing increased emphasis on supplement use. This study examined folic acid supplement use in 2009. A cross-sectional survey of 300 ante-natal women was undertaken to assess folic acid knowledge and use. Assoc...

PURPOSE This study was done to quantitate the biologic effects of different wavelengths of radiation in the UVA- and UVB-wavelength region on cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells. METHODS An action spectrum for UV-induced cytotoxicity as measured by colony-forming ability was determined using six different monochromatic wavelengths from 297 to 405 nm in rabbit lens epithelial cell line N/N10...

There exists a group of persistently faint galactic X-ray sources that, based on their location in the galaxy, high Lx/Lopt, association with X-ray bursts, and absence of low frequency Xray pulsations, are thought to be low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). We present results from Chandra observations for eight of these systems: 4U 1708–408, 2S 1711–339, KS 1739–304, SLX 1735–269, GRS 1736–297, SLX ...
