Risk Assessment for Developmental Toxicity: Airborne Occupational Exposure to Ethanol and Iodine

Dean Mattison explains hazard identification, hazard characterization and exposure characterization as furnishing a foundation for Risk assessment generally. He then illustrates their application in assessing the fetal Risk posed by two common substances. Ultimately, he argues that only after Risks have been so examined can women of child bearing age (or anyone) decide what if any measures are appropriate to avoid them

Books and materiality

This chapter considers medieval English books as objects embedded in European and global networks. From the pigments used to adorn pages to the people who made those pages, bookmaking connected England to the continent and the world. The chapter describes the movement of materials, methods, artisans, and books along international routes, and it examines the domestication of the foreign, as new elements and processes became familiar to English book producers and were incorporated into local traditions. The chapter pays particular attention to the influence on English books, bookmakers, and book collectors of their closest neighbours in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and especially France. We offer a new approach to the study of medieval English manuscripts and early printed books, in which the tension between the local and the global recasts the material text as a transnational object

Clinical Therapeutics in Pregnancy

Most drugs are not tested for use during pregnancy, consequently, labeling, which may include information about fetal safety, includes nothing about dosing, efficacy, or maternal safety. Yet these are concerns of health care providers considering treatment of disease during pregnancy. Therefore, the practitioner treats the pregnant woman with the same dose recommended for use in adults (typically men) or may decide not to treat the disease at all. However, is the choice of not treating a woman during pregnancy better than dealing with the challenges which accompany treatment? This paper, which summarizes metabolic and physiologic changes induced by pregnancy, illustrates that standard adult dosing is likely to be incorrect during pregnancy
