Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA screen for Benzo(a)pyrene in Fish Samples From Crude Oil Polluted EnvironmentsChimezie Anyakora, Mohsen Arbabi, Herbert CokerSeveral studies have shown that exposure to Benzo(a)pyrene increases the risk of cancer. In this study several fish samples from Niger the Delta region of Nigeria were screened for the presence of Benzo(a)pyrene. The study was carried out using Gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometry detector. Benzo(a)pyrenes in the samples were identified through both retention time match with authentic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2008 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmbient Levels of Primary and Secondary Pollutants in a Residential Area: Population Risk and Hazard Index Calculation over a Three Years Study PeriodS. Al-Salem, A. Al-FadhleeThis paper aims at presenting data collected over the period of three years (2004-2006) in a residential area in the state of Kuwait. The data collected include ambient levels of primary and secondary pollutants with a number of metrological parameters. A series of unfiltered and filtered concentration roses were plotted to determine the predominant sources as well as the prevailing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Human Papillomavirus Types Among Mexican Women with Intraepithelial Lesions and Cervical Cancer: Detection with MY09/MY011 and GP5+/GP6+ Primer SystemsGloria Fernández-Tilapa, Berenice Illades-Aguiar, Dinorah Nashely Martínez-Carrillo et al.Squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC) is the most common cancer found in Mexican women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a prerequisite for this disease. In Mexico little is known about the prevalence of HPV-types and knowledge of the circulating genotypes by region is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in biopsies from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk of Second Non Breast Malignancies (SNBM) in Relation to Brca1 And Brca2 Mutation Status Following Breast-Conserving Surgery and RadiotherapyYoulia M. Kirova, Alain Fourquet, Alexia Savignoni, Brigitte Sigal-ZafraniWomen from hereditary breast cancer families with BRCA1/2 germline mutation are at increased risk for contralateral breast cancer (BC) and for ovarian cancer (OC). It is less clear whether mutation status influences the rate of SNBM other than OC. In addition, little is known on the risk of OC in individuals from hereditary BC families without identified BRCA mutation. Our … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
