Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of unknown etiology characterized by inflammory demyelination of the brain and spinal cord. Epidemiological investigations play important role in study of multiple sclerosis. Geographical distribution of the disease has been described in terms of prevalence and incidence. The possible role of environmental factors as a cause of multiple sclerosis had been hypothesized with observation of unequal geographic distribution of the disease. More interesting, in terms of their biological significance, are attempts to identify associations between multiple sclerosis and

Abstract:
Environment plays an important role in shaping development from the newborn period through adolescence. Many individual environmental risk factors may impinge on development (poverty, mental illness, minority status, and many others), but the most detrimental effects are caused when multiple risk factors act on a single infant. These effects were revealed by the Rochester Longitudinal Study, an ongoing comprehensive investigation of environmental risk factors, summa rized in this article.

Abstract:
Falls occur because of factors relating to the individual, the environment and the care and support available. As people age, the risk of falls increases. That risk is further increased when a person is unwell and when the person moves to a new environment. The environment where the older person is cared for can reduce or increase the risk of falls and injury. This article, the fifth in a series, explains how staff can minimise the risk of falls in hospitals, care homes and also the person's own home. This article aims to enable readers to understand the environmental risks in different care s

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. It usually strikes during young adulthood, and 2.5 million individuals are estimated to have the disease worldwide. The causes of MS are not known, but several factors have been shown to be associated with the risk of the disease, including certain genes, vitamin D, smoking and Epstein- Barr virus infection. Little is known about how/if these factors interact. Methods Study I: The risk of MS by month of birth was investigated using MS cases from the Swedish MS registry and using general populati

Abstract The selection of corrosion inhibition in combination with carbon steel is an economically preferable corrosion control strategy for many oil &amp; gas projects. The traditional approach to evaluate the viability of corrosion inhibition combines an assessment of corrosion inhibitor efficiency and availability. It is often assumed that an inhibited rate of 0.1mm/year can be achieved and focus is given to the desired availability. New projects are exploiting reservoirs with fluids of increasing complexity and more aggressive environments. Therefore, achieving a high inhibitor efficiency

Increased temperature from 80 to 120°C reduces Ec and increases the risk for initiation of corrosion, while partial pressure of CO2 in the range 2.5 to 10 bar do not have significantly effect neither on free potential nor Ec.

Abstract:
The primary objective of this research was to characterize the environmental and health impacts of wildland and structural, large-scale fire events.
