The efficacy and adverse effects of treatment with a single oral dose of praziquantel 40 mg/kg, in relation to egg counts and morbidity, have been studied in 611 primary schoolchildren infected with Schistosoma mansoni in Northeastern Ethiopia (22). Before treatment 40% of the patients had no symptoms and 30-40% complained of nausea, abdominal cramps, and/or bloody diarrhea. The symptoms before treatment were not related to nutritional status, intensity of S. mansoni egg excretion.

According to Sobell and Sobell (2000, pp. 573-574), in the stepped care approach the selection of any treatment is guided by three principles (1) Treatment should be individualized with regard to the client s needs and problems, (2) tltc treatment selected should be consistent with tlie current knowledge about effectiveness, and (3) the treatment that is chosen should be the least restrictive (considering the physical effects of treatment on the client and the client s lifestyle and resources). A consequence of the third principle is that more-intensive treatments are reserved for more severe problems.

Two important further analyses of TNT have examined effects of more intensive treatment in the diabetic cohort [47] and also a cohort with metabolic syndrome [48]. In the diabetic subgroup n = 1,501) LDL-cholesterol in the intensive group was 2.0 mmol/L compared with 2.55 mmol/L in the standard treatment group this was associated with a significant risk reduction in the primary end point of 25%, 103 (17.9%) events compared with 135 (13.8%), (HR 0.75 95% Cl 0.58-0.97, p = 0.026).

Radiation of high intensity and dose is used to kill cancerous cells and tumor tissues. Using external radiation, the beam from an external source is directed to the tumor, while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues. Especially for deeply placed tumors, the protection of healthy tissues is incomplete, and the radiation may possibly cause cancer in other tissues. The aim of planning radiotherapy involves maximizing the effectiveness of treatment while minimizing the adverse side effects. 

The primary end point was the proportion of subjects in each treatment group who achieved treatment success after 8 weeks, analysed on an intension to treat (ITT) basis. In the primary end point analysis, subjects missing 8-weeks outcomes data were classified as treatment failures regardless of their outcomes at earlier evaluations. Secondary end points included treatment success as a function of baseline ISGA score (mild or moderate), ISGA score of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear) and effects of treatment on target lesions.

Most aquaculture faciUties release water constandy or periodically into the environment without passing it through a municipal sewage treatment plant. The effects of those efduents on natural systems have become a subject of intense scmtiny in recent years and have, in some instances, resulted in opposition to further development of aquaculture faciUties in some locales. There have even been demands that some existing operations should be shut down. 

Odors are measured by their intensity. The threshold value of one odor to another, however, can vary greatly. Detection threshold is the minimum physical intensity necessary for detection by a subject where the person is not required to identify the stimulus, but just detect the existence of the stimulus. Accordingly, threshold deterrninations are used to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatments and to estabflsh the level of odor control necessary to make a product acceptable (8). Concentration can also produce different odors for the same matenal. For example, indole (qv) in low concentrations has the smell of jasmine and a low threshold of perception. In high concentrations, it has a strong odor of feces and CX-naphthyl amine as well as a considerably higher threshold of perception. 

Papirer et al. used ATR, XPS, and SIMS to determine the effect of flame treatment on adhesion of polyethylene and polypropylene to styrene/butadiene (SBR) rubber [8]. Each flame treatment consisted of a 75-ms pass over a circular burner. The distance between the upper flame front and the polymer was kept fixed al 8 mm. A band was observed near 1720 cm" in the ATR spectra and assigned to carbonyl groups this band increased in intensity as the number of flame... 

Further examples pf fluorescence stabilization and intensity augmentation as a result of treatment of the chromatogram with viscous, lipophilic liquids are listed in Table 22. The alteration of the pH [293] or the addition of organic acids or bases [292] have also been found to be effective. Wintersteiger [291] has also described the effect that the TLC layer itself (binder) can influence the fluorescence intensity.
