The WHO s international collaborative programme on dmg safety was originally set up in 1968. Their monitoring centre is now based in Uppsala, Sweden. The main activities of the centre are as follows [Pg.75]

At the time of writing, there were 84 national schemes which collaborate with the programme and provide their spontaneous ADR reports to the WHO at least four times per year. The data are entered onto a database which is an international reference source accessible to national authorities and pharmaceutical companies. By mid-2008 this database held around 3.7 million case reports. [Pg.75]

Preterm birth is defined by the World Health Organisation as birth occurring prior to 37 weeks gestation (normal gestation is 40 weeks) and is the cause of the majority of perinatal morbidity or mortality. By this definition the incidence of preterm birth is 5-10% in the western world [3]. Predicting preterm delivery is extremely difficult, though there are known risk factors that... [Pg.332]

According to a study by the World Health Organisation, viruses have been found to survive chemical treatment in aircraft toilets. Researches reported that up to half the samples of waste pumped from on-board toilets contained viruses despite the use of toilet sanitiser. All the viruses isolated from the waste were associated with enteric disorders. This indicates that other viruses such as those that cause hepatitis could also survive. As a consequence, future products will need to be even more effective as it is believed that between 1-10% of viruses survive to be potentially discharged into the environment. [Pg.124]
