488. As a prophylactic action against hepatitis B, vaccination has been extended to

(f) Expanding the scope and efficiency of prophylactic care for those working under detrimental conditions

Ensure that 60 per cent of pregnant women are effectively covered by anti malaria prophylactic therapy.

Experts should be invited to study possible prophylactic measures that would not promote or facilitate drug abuse.

The estimate also provides for medical evacuation, hospitalization and specialized medical services, vaccines, prophylactic condoms and other medical supplies.

In face of the prevailing level of uncertainty and contradiction in the sources of the law, certain prophylactic measures are necessary.

All oblast and city AIDS centres have antiretroviral preparations for the prophylactic treatment of HIV infected pregnant women and their children.

Prophylactic examinations of older children include detection of disorders in physical and psycho motor development hearing, sight, defects of posture and other problems.

After undergoing biopsies that further increased her risk for cancer and losing her sister to cancer, she made the difficult decision to have a prophylactic mastectomy.

Anaemia levels for pregnant women and children aged 6 to 24 months were regularly assessed as part of a strategy for providing prophylactic iron and folate supplements.

Rather, any biological agents could be considered a weapon if they are 'of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes'.

(c) Expanding the scope and quality of medical genetic prophylactic care by improving the effectiveness of screening programmes, and particularly by introducing ultrasonic screening of pregnant women on a wide scale

Given the prophylactic purpose of article 3, it cannot be correct that an expelling State simply transfers, through the vehicle of diplomatic assurances, responsibility for an expellee's condition to the receiving State.

479. Prophylactic examinations of infants include measurement of weight and height, head and chest measurements, detection of displasia of hip joints, as well as screen tests (towards detection of phenylketonuria and hypothyreosis).

480. There is a separate system of prophylactic health care for school students. It is provided by a school nurse (a hygienist) employed in every school and a primary health care physician in the place of residence.

Thus, while the use of PARP inhibitors to treat established tumors may be feasible within a few years, we could have to wait at least a decade before a prophylactic treatment for inherited breast cancer is widely available.

As to the prophylactic effect of media publicity, counsel argues that there was some coverage of the cases of the complainant and his wife around the time of the former's removal, but that thereafter interest has been limited.

In accordance with the bill, production, possession, acquiring, stealing, deceptive acquisition, illicit trafficking, transportation, stockpiling, and development of nuclear, chemical and biological materials that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or any other peaceful purposes, constitute terrorist crimes

268. There are also other specialized services provided by out patient and patient hospitals rendering prophylactic services, diagnosis and treatment of early detected malignant tumours, tuberculosis and non specific chronic diseases, skin and venereal diseases and mental disorders.

There is also prophylactic antiretroviral therapy, which seeks to reduce the likelihood of HIV infection s taking hold following exposure to the virus. The major problem in very many countries, however, is accessibility, given the overwhelming lack of availability and or affordability of most forms of treatment.

It is possible that highly metastasized breast tumors might have acquired additional genetic changes causing resistance to treatment with PARP inhibitors. Therefore, we suggest that PARP inhibitors might be more useful in the prophylactic treatment of women carrying the gene responsible for this form of inherited breast cancer.

True, many skeptics argue that with reasonable low cost prophylactic measures, large scale cyber meltdowns are highly implausible, and that doom mongers overstate the worst case scenarios. They say that the ability of cyber terrorists and blackmailers to take the global economy to the brink, as in the 2007 Bruce Willis movie Die Hard 4, is utterly fictional.

Section 8(1) makes it an offence for a person or a corporation to develop, produce, stockpile or otherwise acquire or retain microbial or other biological agents, or toxins that have no justification for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes, or weapons, equipment or means of delivery designed to use such agents or toxins for hostile purposes or in armed conflict.

8. The reaffirmation contained in the Final Document of the Fourth Review Conference is of special importance to Cuba, in that the use by States parties, in any way and under any circumstances, of microbial or other biological agents or toxins that is not consistent with prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes, is effectively a violation of article I of the Convention.

Some drug researchers predict that with continuing advances in understanding the human genome, doctors may eventually be able to predict illnesses 15 20 years in advance, and begin prophylactic treatment immediately. (With some experts predicting that individuals will routinely live beyond 110 115 years by mid century, one might wonder what all this will do to other social conventions such as marriage, but I will leave this thought to another day.)

Furthermore, Section 5 (2) of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention Act 2004 provides that a person who transfers any biological agent or toxin to another person where he knows or has reason to believe that the biological agent is likely to be kept or used otherwise than for prophylactic, protective or other peaceful purposes shall commit an offence and on conviction, shall be liable to penal servitude.
