Twin studies on cancer have addressed two general questions, one about the possible carcinogenic effects of twinning and the second about heritable effects of cancer. The first question is answered by comparing the occurrence of cancer in twins to that in singletons; the second is answered in probandwise analysis of monozygotic twins compared to dizygotic twins or siblings. We used the nationwide

Glyphosate (GLY), N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine, is the most widely used herbicide in the world. It is a broad-spectrum herbicide, also used in crop desiccation. Agricultural workers may be occupationally exposed and general populations may be exposed to GLY mainly through diet. We studied the kinetics of GLY by measuring the parent compound and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in ur
Flood risk indices and methods (such as flood risk maps) can be used for long-term pro-active activities like urban planning to reduce flooding risk but also for short-term action such as issuing early warnings when hydro-meteorological conditions are expected to develop in a way that could lead to flooding. There are many different flood risk indices and methods used in the world and this study a
