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.
Sources of Ozone Depletion. A. General Findings. Based on data collected since the 1950s, scientists have determined that ozone levels were relatively stable until the late 1970s. Severe depletion over the Antarctic has been occurring since 1979 and a general downturn in global ozone levels has been observed since the late 1970s.
