Epidemiologists often study the associations between a set of exposures and multiple biologically relevant outcomes. However, frequently used scale-and-context-dependent regression coefficients may not offer meaningful comparisons could further complicate interpretation if these outcomes do have similar units. Additionally, when scaling up hypothesis-driven based on preliminary data, knowing ho...

I . The amounts of available cystine and tyrosine in the protein of different animal tissues showed a close correlation with the level of hydroxyproline, and may be estimated from hydroxyproline values by regression equations. 2. Estimates of ‘chemical score’ have been calculated from the content of hydroxyproline determined in a series of samples for which net protein utilization (NPIJ) for ra...

BACKGROUND Lack of safe drinking water, basic sanitation, and hygienic practices are associated with high morbidity and mortality from excreta related diseases. The aims of this study were to determine the bacteriological and physico-chemical quality of drinking water and investigate the hygiene and sanitation practices of the consumers in Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia. METHODS A cross sectional p...

The CHEMDNER task is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) challenge that aims at labeling different types of chemical names in biomedical text. We approach this challenge by proposing a hybrid approach that combines linear Conditional Random Fields (CRF) together with regular expression taggers and dictionary usage, followed by a post-processing step to tag those chemical names in a corpus of Medli...

Foul-smelling environmental pollution was a major concern following a chemical workplace explosion. Malodorous pollution has previously been associated with aggravated physical and psychological health, and in persons affected by a trauma, an incidence-related odour can act as a traumatic reminder. Olfaction may even be of significance in the development and persistence of post-traumatic stress...

Introduction: Chemical peels are used in melasma to create an injury of a specific skin depth with the goal of stimulating new skin growth and improving surface texture and appearance. The exfoliative effect of chemical peels stimulates new epidermal growth and collagen with more evenly distributed melanin. Aims: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of 70% glycolic ...

The Scoring and Ranking Assessment Model (SCRAM) was developed to serve as an analytical tool in chemical scoring and ranking of Great Lakes contaminants. The model provides an initial screening evaluation, based on minimal amount of data, of large numbers of chemicals to identify those chemicals that have the greatest potential to cause adverse effects. The SCRAM model is different from most s...
