Long-term survival

Protection from heat, flame, molten metal splashes, severe cold and frost, radiation sources, and so on are prime requirements for both civil and defence applications. The conditions influencing demand depend upon specific environmental hazards, the degree of protection, the level of comfort, the durability of the garments, aesthetics and sociological factors, such as legislation, user/consumer awareness of possible hazards, and so on.  [Pg.295]

For example, submarine suits must protect the wearer against drowning and hypothermia for long periods under severe weather conditions. The Swedish Division of Naval Medicine of the Swedish Defence Research Establishment has found that survival suits could maintain body temperature for up to 20 hours in cold water simulating winter conditions. Effective survival suits may include a life raft and even diaper material for urine collection. In addition, thermal insulation and buoyancy of the suits are very important. Thermal insulation can be partly provided by an aluminized inner coverall worn over the uniform. It has also been concluded that survival suits should be developed consisting of a double layered suit with a fife raft, a single layered suit with extra buoyancy and a life raft, or a modified double layered suit with extra buoyancy.  [Pg.296]

Helly Hansen, the Norwegian company which specialises in foul weather and survival gear for commercial fishermen, claims a significant share of the world market. They accept the layering principle and prefer three layers, namely  [Pg.296]

an inner layer with good skin contact, not too absorbent [Pg.296]

an insulating layer trapping large volumes of still air and helping transportation of moisture [Pg.296]


BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase that is essential for malignant transformation. Cytogenetic responses to IFN-a therapy were seen in 30-40% of the treated patients with complete responses in about 10%. Long term survival can therefore be expected in these patients. In 2000, the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib has been introduced for CML therapy and meanwhile has proven more efficient than IFN-a therapy. [Pg.645]

Older adults are not as tolerant of or as responsive to remission induction and consolidation chemotherapy as younger patients. Younger adults treated with a standard induction regimen of an anthracycline and cytarabine have approximately 70% probability of attaining a CR, whereas patients older than 60 years of age have only a 38% to 62% probability. Further, long-term survival for patients older than 60 years is only 5% to 15% compared with 30% DFS for younger adults.9... [Pg.1410]
