Focal intestinal metaplasia is the potentially reversible change from a fully differentiated stomach cell type to an intestinal cell type. It is associated with significantly increased risk of cancer. . Proper diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of gastric cancer. slide 1 of 6.
The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a compound is a simple measure of. its ability to destroy stratospheric ozone. It is a relative measure: the ODP of CFC-11 is defined to be 1.0, and the ODP's of other compounds. are calculated with respect to this reference point. Thus a compound with.
A severe depletion of ozone in a region of the ozone layer, particularly over Antarctica and over the Arctic. The depletion is caused by the destruction of ozone by CFCs and by other compounds, such as carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and carbon tetrafluoride (CF4). ozone hole in Culture Expand.
