Assessing Medical Preparedness to Respond to a Terrorist Nuclear Event - Workshop Report - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

Assessing Medical Preparedness to Respond to a Terrorist Nuclear Event - Workshop Report - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

A nuclear attack on a large U.S. city by terrorists--even with a low-yield improvised nuclear device (IND) of 10 kilotons or less--would cause a large number of deaths and severe injuries. The large number of injured from the detonation and radioactive fallout that would follow would be overwhelming for local emergency response and health care systems to rescue and treat, even assuming that these systems and their personnel were not themselves incapacitated by the event. The United States has been..

Breakthrough Business Models - Drug Development for Rare and Neglected Diseases and Individualized Therapies: Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of M

Breakthrough Business Models - Drug Development for Rare and Neglected Diseases and Individualized Therapies: Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of M

The process for developing new drug and biologic products is extraordinarily expensive and time-consuming. Although large pharmaceutical companies may be able to afford the cost of development because they can expect a large return on investment, organizations developing drugs to treat rare and neglected diseases are unable to rely on such returns. On June 23, 2008, the Institute of Medicine's Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation held a public workshop, \Breakthrough Business Models:..

Prepositioning Antibiotics for Anthrax - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

Prepositioning Antibiotics for Anthrax - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

\If terrorists released Bacillus anthracis over a large city, hundreds of thousands of people could be at risk of the deadly disease anthrax-caused by the B. anthracis spores-unless they had rapid access to antibiotic medical countermeasures (MCM). Although plans for rapidly delivering MCM to a large number of people following an anthrax attack have been greatly enhanced during the last decade, many public health authorities and policy experts fear that the nation's current systems and plans are..

Effectiveness and Impacts of Dust Control Measures for Owens Lake - Bok av National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri - Häftad

Effectiveness and Impacts of Dust Control Measures for Owens Lake - Bok av National Academies Of Sciences Engineeri - Häftad

During the 20th century, the city of Los Angeles diverted surface water flowing into Owens Lake for water supply, transforming the large, closed-basin, saline lake into a small brine pool surrounded by dry playa. Under high winds, the exposed lakebed produced large amounts of airborne dust, resulting in the highest concentrations of airborne particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM10) in the United States. Since 2000, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power,..
