It is often useful to make a distinction between a "dose-effect" relationship, i.e. the graded response after exposure to varying doses of a toxicant, and a "dose-response" relationship, i.e. the incidence at which a "quantal" response occurs in a population exposed to varying doses of the toxicant. 2, record 1, English, - dose%2Dresponse
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The dose-response relationship is the relationship between the dose and the percentage of individuals showing a specific effect. With increasing dose a greater number of individuals in the exposed population will usually be affected. 3, record 1, English, - dose%2Dresponse

Si la relation dose-effet correspond à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et l'intensité d'un effet biologique de nature donnée chez un individu», la relation dose-réponse, correspond pour sa part à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et la proportion d'individus d'un groupe présentant un effet de nature et d'intensité données». 2, record 1, French, - dose%2Dr%C3%A9ponse

La relación dosis-respuesta es un concepto esencial en toxicología. Correlaciona las exposiciones con cambios en las funciones corporales o en la salud. En general, cuanto mayor es la dosis, más severa es la respuesta. La relación dosis-respuesta se basa en datos observados de estudios experimentales en animales, clínicos humanos o celulares. 1, record 1, Spanish, - dosis%2Drespuesta

There are basically two different opinions about the shape of the dose-effect at low doses. There are those who believe that very low doses of radiation carry no risk and that a threshold dose has to be exceeded before an effect will be induced. Others support the concept of radiation risk increasing linearly with dose from zero dose up, i. e. the linear no-threshold(LNT) concept. 2, record 2, English, - linear%20no%2Dthreshold

L'une des conséquences de l'hypothèse d'une relation linéaire sans seuil entre la dose et le risque pour la santé est que, dans une grande population, où tous les individus ont reçu de faibles doses de rayonnement, il est possible d'estimer statistiquement le nombre prévu des effets sans seuils qui pourraient être attribués à l'exposition, même si, à des doses très faibles, ces effets ne peuvent être distingués des incidences de cancer naturel. 1, record 2, French, - lin%C3%A9aire%20sans%20seuil

The bourgeoisie has foresworn another dose of economic opium, increasing state expenditure, because it means inflation under both boom and slump conditions. They have painfully learned that to increase state expenditure might give them an economic ’high’ for a year or two(or even possibly only months), only to bring more inflation on Latin American lines, more unemployment and all the nightmare reality of 'stagflation’, stagnation and inflation, or even worse 'slumpflation’. 3, record 3, English, - slumpflation
