    Still, the safety of these estimates can be compared with actual field measurements upon the return of the evacuees. However, the high degree of compliance with the stipulated limit in all the towns suggest that additional protection measures would be unnecessary, especially for the indoor residents. Overall, the relationship between the external ambient and individual doses was critical to predicting the annual doses per evacuee upon returning home to either of the areas under investigation. Generally, the doses for external exposure were much higher than those for internal exposure. Perhaps, the time of exposure in outdoor settings might have provided more realistic predictions of individual dose…

    Anemia is the most common blood condition affecting over 3 million people in the United States. It is a medical condition where the red blood cell count or the hemoglobin count is below normal and there are no enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to the tissues. The normal level of hemoglobin in male and females are different. In men a hemoglobin level of less than 13.5 gram/100 ml is considered as anemia and in women hemoglobin of less than 12.0 gram/100 ml is considered as anemia.

Risk factors of Iron deficiency Anemia- Women who menstruate and when their periods are heavy, people with gastrointestinal disorders when iron cannot be absorbed into the body, people who undergo bariatric surgeries etc. are some of the high risk group of people who may have iron deficiency anemia.

    On November 11, 1974, Gnazzo had an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted in her uterus for contraceptive purposes. The IUD was developed, marketed and sold by G.D. Searle & Co. (Searle). When Gnazzo’s deposition was taken, she stated that her doctor had informed her that “the insertion would hurt, but not for long,” and that she “would have uncomfortable and probably painful periods for the first three to four months. On October 11, 1975, Gnazzo found it necessary to return to her physician due to excessive pain and cramping. During this visit she was informed by her doctor that he thought she had Pelvic inflammatory Disease (PID). She recalled that he stated that the infection was possibly caused by venereal disease or the use of the IUD. The PID was treated with antibiotics and cleared up shortly thereafter. Less than one year later, Gnazzo was again treated for an IUD-associated infection. This infection was also treated with antibiotics. Gnazzo continued using the IUD until it was finally removed in December of 1977.…

    “Validity is the extent to which a test measures what we actually wish to measure” (Cooper and Schindler, 2014, p.257). “Reliability has to do with the accuracy and precision of a measurement procedure” (Cooper and Schindler, 2014, p. 257). Validity is more critical to measurement than reliability because without validity, reliability is meaningless. For example, a bathroom scale may give a weight each time a person weighs themselves, which proves the scale is reliable in giving feedback. If the scale displays an incorrect weight each time then it is not a valid weight and a person cannot accurately measure themselves to know if a goal is being met or not. Validity and reliability can also be thought of in terms of a person and their work. A person may show up to work on time and complete all tasks that are required everyday, which proves they are reliable, however if they tasks are not completed correctly then there is no validity to work and it must be redone. Finally, validity…
