Growth Trajectories, Breast Size, and Breast-Tissue Composition in a British Prebirth Cohort of Young Women.

abstract：:The unexpected nature of disasters leaves little time or resources for organized health surveillance of the affected population, and even less for those who are unaffected. An ideal epidemiologic study would monitor both groups equally well, but would typically be decided against as infeasible or costly. Exposure and ...
