It’S Time For A New Low-Dose-Radiation Risk Assessment Paradigm—One That Acknowledges Hormesis, Bobby R Scott Dec 2008

It’S Time For A New Low-Dose-Radiation Risk Assessment Paradigm—One That Acknowledges Hormesis, Bobby R Scott

Dose-Response: An International Journal

The current system of radiation protection for humans is based on the linear-nothreshold (LNT) risk-assessment paradigm. Perceived harm to irradiated nuclear workers and the public is mainly reflected through calculated hypothetical increased cancers. The LNT-based system of protection employs easy-to-implement measures of radiation exposure. Such measures include the equivalent dose (a biological-damage-potential-weighted measure) and the effective dose (equivalent dose multiplied by a tissue-specific relative sensitivity factor for stochastic effects). These weighted doses have special units such as the sievert (Sv) and millisievert (mSv, one thousandth of a sievert). Radiation-induced harm is controlled via enforcing exposure limits expressed as effective dose. …

Differential Requirements Of Two Reca Mutants For Constitutive Sos Expression In Escherichia Coli K-12, Steven Sandler, Jarukit Edward Long, Nicholas Renzette, Richard Centore Dec 2008

Differential Requirements Of Two Reca Mutants For Constitutive Sos Expression In Escherichia Coli K-12, Steven Sandler, Jarukit Edward Long, Nicholas Renzette, Richard Centore

Steven Sandler

Background Repairing DNA damage begins with its detection and is often followed by elicitation of a cellular response. In E. coli, RecA polymerizes on ssDNA produced after DNA damage and induces the SOS Response. The RecA-DNA filament is an allosteric effector of LexA auto-proteolysis. LexA is the repressor of the SOS Response. Not all RecA-DNA filaments, however, lead to an SOS Response. Certain recA mutants express the SOS Response (recAC) in the absence of external DNA damage in log phase cells. Methodology/Principal Findings Genetic analysis of two recAC mutants was used to determine the mechanism of constitutive SOS (SOSC) expression …


Preschool Parent-Pediatrician Consultations And Predictive Referral Patterns For Problematic Behaviors, John Fanton, Brittany Macdonald, Elizabeth Harvey Dec 2008

Preschool Parent-Pediatrician Consultations And Predictive Referral Patterns For Problematic Behaviors, John Fanton, Brittany Macdonald, Elizabeth Harvey

Elizabeth (Lisa) Harvey

Objective—The present study examined parents’ reports of the frequency, nature, and outcome of pediatrician consultation and interventions about significant preschool behavior problems. Method—Parents were asked whether they consulted or not with their pediatric providers about disruptive behavioral problems during a longitudinal study of preschool children. Results—Eighty 4-year-old children had parents who had consulted with their pediatricians versus 90 children whose parents did not. Children who eventually met criteria for Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) two years later, received different pediatric interventions at age 4 than children who did not have a diagnosis, χ2 (2) = …
