An ambulatory biomechanical data collection system for use in space: design and validation.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Loss in bone mineral density and muscle strength in astronauts following long-duration spaceflight have been well documented, but the altered force and movement environments in microgravity which may contribute to these changes have ... Read more...

Syndrome surveillance and molecular epidemiology for early detection and tracing of an outbreak of measles in Liguria, Italy.

29 Sep 2009 The performances of surveillance systems for measles in Europe are poorly investigated, despite the fundamental role they should play in the early detection of outbreaks and in the assessment of the progress towards elimination. A new chief ... Read more...

Validity of self-reported birth weight by adult women: sociodemographic influences and implications for life-course studies.

9 Sep 2009 Life-course epidemiologic studies frequently obtain data on perinatal and childhood factors through adult self-report. Data from a prospective US birth cohort of 262 women, born between 1959 and 1963 (average age at adult follow-up, 41.8 years), ... Read more...
