Neurotoxic and pharmacokinetic responses to trichloroethylene as a function of exposure scenario
2000
Environmental Health Perspectives
For the acute effects of TCE on behavior and visual function, the estimated concentration of TCE in blood at the time of testing correlated well with outcomes, whereas cumulative exposure, measured as ...
Examination of all three measures of neurotoxicity showed that if Haber's Rule were used to predict outcomes across exposure durations, the risk would be overestimated when extrapolating from shorter to ...
TCEA was chosen as the dose metric because of its close relationship to target organ (brain) concentration and because of the ready accessibility of blood from experimental animals. ...

2020
Radiotherapy and Oncology
In order to develop substructure dose-response models, the heart model previously used for pediatric cohort dosimetry needed enhancement and substructure delineation. ...
Emerging data suggest that dose to cardiac substructures may be more predictive than whole heart metrics. ...
