    Summary: This book is taking a broad health focused approach towards Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA). It is now well established that DVA exerts a significant and detrimental impact on the health and wellbeing of those who experience abuse. Universally healthcare professionals encounter individuals and families where DVA is or has taken place. This book is beneficial to a range of health care professionals through an exploration of theories and classifications of DVA, consideration of DVA in different contexts and consideration of the core issues surrounding working with individuals and families where DVAhas been identified. It provides a much needed evidence based addition to the existing texts in this field in terms of the inclusion of real life scenarios, reflective exercises and pointers for further practice development. This book is a key point of reference for professionals working within a broad range of health care environments.

    Tow types of dose-rate effect that alter the survival response of haploid yeast cells to 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) plus treatment with irradiation at 365 nm were studied. (1) When the concentration of 8-MOP was varied between 9.2 X 10(-5) and 2.3 X 10(-8) M and the dose rate of 365-nm irradiation kept constant, the efficiency of the irradiation for killing increased relatively to that of 8-MOP whe the concentration of 8-MOP decreased. This indicated that there was no strict reciprocity between radiation dose and concentration of drug. (2) When the dose rate of radiation was varied between 0.66 X 10(3) and 108 X 10(3) J m-2 h-1 and the concentration of 8-MOP was kept constant, the survival of wild-type cells increased strikingly at low dose rates of radiation as compared with high dose rates. Cells responded more to changes at low dose rates than to equal changes a high dose rates. The high resistance of wild-type cells to 8-MOP plus radiation delivered at low dose rates absent from rad 1-3 cells defective in excision-repair. This suggests that the dose-rate effect seen in wild-type cells depended at least in part on an active excision-repair function. At low dose rates of radiation, the shoulder of the survival curve for rad1-3 cells, i.e. the ability to accumulate sub-lethal damage, was increased by a factor of about 2 when compared with that seen at a high dose rate. Thus it is likely that at low dose rates a repair function other than excision-resynthesis may operate in rad1-3 cells.
