TL;DR: Future research and biomonitoring programs on children would greatly benefit from the inclusion of selected biomarkers that could provide biologically based evidence for the identification of intervention priorities in environmental health.
Abstract: The present review is based on findings from 178 publications retrieved through an extensive search of the MedLine/PubMed database for a 25 years time period (1980-2004) and 10 manually identified papers. Among the cytogenetic biomarkers that are frequently used in field studies, chromosome aberrations (CA) and micronuclei (MN) but not sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) were found consistently increased in children exposed to environmental pollutants. Meta-analysis of the studies reporting SCE in cord blood showed similar levels of SCE in exposed and in non-exposed newborns. Exposure to airborne pollutants, soil and drinking water contaminants, mostly increased CA and, to a lesser extent, MN levels in children. The effect of exposure to airborne urban pollutants was consistently reported by field studies measuring DNA, albumin and hemoglobin adducts. Prenatal (in utero) and postnatal exposure (environmental tobacco smoke, ETS) to tobacco smoke compounds were associated with increased frequencies of DNA and hemoglobin adducts and CA. The limited number of field studies measuring DNA fragmentation (Comet assay), hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and the glycophorinA (GPA) mutation frequency in environmentally exposed children precluded a meaningful evaluation of the usefulness of these assays. Meta-analyses performed in children exposed to ETS and in newborns exposed in utero to their mothers' smoke showed 1.3 and 7 times higher levels of hemoglobin adducts compared to referent subjects, respectively. These increases are consistent with the epidemiological evidence of higher lung cancer risks reported in adults who had never smoked and were exposed to ETS during childhood and with 7-15 times higher lung cancer risks reported in smokers than in non-smokers. Higher levels of PAH-DNA adducts were found in fetal than in maternal tissue, suggesting a specific susceptibility of the fetus to this class of ubiquitous environmental pollutants. According to these findings, future research and biomonitoring programs on children would greatly benefit from the inclusion of selected biomarkers that could provide biologically based evidence for the identification of intervention priorities in environmental health.

TL;DR: This work tested the hypothesis that a machine learning algorithm utilizing both complex echocardiographic data and clinical parameters could be used to phenogroup a heart failure cohort and identify patients with beneficial response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a perspective on the development of future district heating systems and technologies and their role in future smart energy systems, and elaborate on or otherwise contribute to the theoretical scientific understanding of how we can design and implement a suitable and least-cost transformation into a sustainable energy future focusing on the important role of the next generation of district heating and cooling technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, band-splitting of metric type II bursts was observed in the dekameter-kilometer wavelength range and a similarity of morphological and frequency-time characteristics of two emission components were indicative of a common source.
Abstract: Patterns analogous to the band-splitting of metric type II bursts are found in a number of type II bursts observed in the dekameter-kilometer wavelength range. A similarity of morphological and frequency-time characteristics of two emission components are indicative of a common source. Relative frequency splits span in the range f=f =0 :05 0:6. At radial distances between 2 and 4 R only small splits around 0.1 can be found. In the interplanetary space the relative split on average increases with the radial distance, whereas the inferred shock velocity decreases. In three events extrapolations of the split components point to the base and the peak of the jump in the local plasma frequency caused by the associated shock passage at 1 AU. This is suggestive of the plasma radiation from the regions upstream and downstream of the shock. Adopting this interpretation, one nds that the drop of f=f at 2{4 R is congruent with the Alfv en velocity maximum expected there. The split increase and the velocity decrease at larger distances can be explained as a consequence of declining Alfv en speed in the interplanetary space.
