Potential Developmental Neurotoxicity of Pesticides used in Europe
(BioMed Central, 2008)Pesticides used in agriculture are designed to protect crops against unwanted species, such as weeds, insects, and fungus. Many compounds target the nervous system of insect pests. Because of the similarity in brain ... -
Potential Exposure to Arsenic from Infant Rice Cereal
(2016)Background: Rice is known to be high in arsenic, including in infant rice cereal. Although arsenic in drinking water is currently regulated, there are currently no US regulations regarding arsenic concentrations in food. ... -
The Potential for Cost Savings through Bundled Episode Payments
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2012) -
Potential for false-positive HIV test results using rapid HIV testing algorithms
(AOSIS, 2015)Background: In order to scale up access to HIV counselling and testing in Nigeria, an HIV diagnostic algorithm based on rapid testing was adopted. However, there was the need to further evaluate the testing strategy in ... -
Potential role for plasma placental growth factor in predicting coronary heart disease risk in women
(American Heart Association, 2009)Objective-The purpose of this study was to examine placental growth factor's (PlGF) predictive value in relation to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in healthy women.Methods and Results-Among 32 826 women from the Nurses' ... -
Potentially disruptive life events: what are the immediate impacts on chronic disease management? A case-crossover analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)Objective: To explore the association between unexpected potentially disruptive life events in a patient or family member that may challenge an individual's ability to take medications as prescribed and the discontinuation ... -
Poverty
(Oxford University Press, 2017)This chapter addresses the challenge posed by poverty to the protection of human rights. Human rights define the entitlements considered necessary for a life of dignity in society, including the right to an adequate standard ... -
Poverty in the Midst of Plenty: Unmet Needs and Distribution of Health Care Resources in South Korea
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: The unmet needs for health care have been used as an alternative measurement to monitor equity in health services. We sought to examine contextual influences on unmet needs for health care whereas precedent ... -
Poverty, Disease, and the Ecology of Complex Systems
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Understanding why some human populations remain persistently poor remains a significant challenge for both the social and natural sciences. The extremely poor are generally reliant on their immediate natural resource base ... -
The poverty-reducing effect of Medicaid
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Medicaid provides health insurance for 54 million Americans. Using the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure (which subtracts out-of-pocket medical expenses from family resources), we estimated the impact of ... -
Power and Sample Size Calculations for Case-Control Studies of Gene-Environment Interactions with a Polytomous Exposure Variable
(Oxford University Press, 1997)Genetic polymorphisms may appear to the epidemiologist most commonly as different levels of susceptibility to exposure. Epidemiologic studies of heterogeneity in exposure susceptibility aim at estimating the parameter ... -
Power and sample size calculations for longitudinal studies comparing rates of change with a time-varying exposure
(Wiley, 2010)Existing study design formulas for longitudinal studies have assumed that the exposure is time-invariant. We derived sample size formulas for studies comparing rates of change by exposure when the exposure varies with time ... -
Power and sample size calculations for longitudinal studies estimating a main effect of a time-varying exposure
(SAGE Publications, 2011)Existing study design formulas for longitudinal studies assume that the exposure is time invariant or that it varies in a manner that is controlled by design. However, in observational studies, the investigator does not ... -
Power Enhancement Via Multivariate Outlier Testing With Gene Expression Arrays
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Motivation: As the use of microarrays in human studies continues to increase, stringent quality assurance is necessary to ensure accurate experimental interpretation. We present a formal approach for microarray quality ... -
Powerful Ideas for Global Access to Medicines

PprA Contributes to Deinococcus radiodurans Resistance to Nalidixic Acid, Genome Maintenance after DNA Damage and Interacts with Deinococcal Topoisomerases
(Public Library of Science, 2014)PprA is known to contribute to Deinococcus radiodurans' remarkable capacity to survive a variety of genotoxic assaults. The molecular bases for PprA's role(s) in the maintenance of the damaged D. radiodurans genome are ... -
Practical approach to the patient with hypereosinophilia
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Markedly increased blood eosinophilia (ie, ≥1.5 × 109/L), whether discovered fortuitously or found with signs and symptoms of associated organ involvement, commands diagnostic evaluation and often therapeutic interventions. ... -
Practical large-scale spatio-temporal modeling of particulate matter concentrations
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2009)The last two decades have seen intense scientific and regulatory interest in the health effects of particulate matter (PM). Influential epidemiological studies that characterize chronic exposure of individuals rely on ... -
Practitioner approaches to measuring community resilience: The analysis of the resilience of communities to disasters toolkit
(Elsevier BV, 2020-11)To be useful for operational programs, measures of resilience must not just be valid, but be easy to use and useful. Unfortunately, while resilience measurement techniques have progressed tremendously over the past decade, ...
