HYPERSENSITIVITY MARKERS IN CHILDREN UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL ALUMINUM EXPOSURE

The studies in the organism adaptation for the conditions of technogenic environmental changes, especially in child population, will allow to design a set of diagnostic markers for assessing the health status and early detection of pathological trends for development of hypersensitivity to environme...

HYPERSENSITIVITY MARKERS IN CHILDREN UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL ALUMINUM EXPOSURE
description The studies in the organism adaptation for the conditions of technogenic environmental changes, especially in child population, will allow to design a set of diagnostic markers for assessing the health status and early detection of pathological trends for development of hypersensitivity to environmental substances and improve efficiency of therapeutic and preventive measures.
