Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) which belong to serotypes O157:H7 and O157:NM (nonmotile) and several non-O157 serotypes cause diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. Routine diagnostics performed by the HUS Laboratory at University Münster include isolation and cultivation of EHEC from stool specimens, food, water using immunomagnetic separation, colony immunoblot, and PCR targeting different toxins and other virulence determinants. ...

The new Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) is the scientific body of the Federal Republic of Germany that prepares expert reports and opinions on questions of food safety and consumer health protection on the basis of internationally recognised scientific assessment criteria. With the help of risk analysis, BfR formulates action options for risk reduction. Against this backdrop, the Institute assumes an important task in improving consumer health protection and food safety. The assessments are to be presented in a transparent and comprehensible manner to the general public, scientists and other involved or interested circles. The assessment results will, in principle, be made publicly accessible whilst maintaining the confidentiality of protected data. ... [Information of the supplier]

HSDB is a toxicology data file on the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET®). It focuses on the toxicology of potentially hazardous chemicals. It is enhanced with information on human exposure, industrial hygiene, emergency handling procedures, environmental fate, regulatory requirements, and related areas. All data are referenced and derived from a core set of books, government documents, technical reports and selected primary journal literature. HSDB is peer-reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel (SRP), a committee of experts in the major subject areas within the data bank's scope. HSDB is organized into individual chemical records, and contains over 5000 such records. ... [Information of the supplier]
The potential of a pesticide or biocide to cause adverse effects in the developing embryo or fetus is an important consideration in any health risk assessment for humans and wildlife. Such information is usually derived from experimental studies in which pregnant laboratory animals are exposed to various concentrations of compounds during critical stages of fetal development. The terms and diagnostic criteria used to describe fetal anomalies need to be consistent from one laboratory to another. Consequently, the DevTox Project has three main objectives: To harmonize the nomenclature used to describe developmental anomalies in laboratory animals, to assist in the visual recognition of developmental anomalies with the aid of photographs, and to provide a historical control database of developmental effects in laboratory animals. ...

This is the Hyperlinked Human Histology (HHH) Home Page. This is being developed for students to use when they want to tie together the micro and the macro of immunology. For example, in immunology classes, students learn about the proteins involved in T cell responses, but lose sight of where this happens in the body. ... [Information of the supplier]
