  • Survival among patients with cancer after a coalmine fire

    Tyler J Lane, Pei Yu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2026Referencias: 22

    Background In 2014, a bushfire ignited the Hazelwood coalmine in regional Victoria, Australia, shrouding nearby communities in smoke for 6 weeks. In this study, we examined whether survival decreased among people with cancer in smoke-exposed areas. Methods We identified cancers diagnosed between January 2009 and February 2014, the start of the coalmine fire, from the Victorian Cancer Registry. Tumours were grouped by location as well as subtypes …

  • Are mortality rates similar between jobs in the Queensland coal mine workers’ cohort

    Open AccessDeborah C Glass, Stella May Gwini et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Although a relatively young cohort, mortality risk varied by type of work. Risk of death from circulatory causes was increased in some workers, even after adjusting for smoking. Suicide rates are higher for men and women doing Production jobs

    Epidemiological evidence has shown an association between exposure to high temperatures and occupational injuries, an issue gaining importance with environmental change. The aim of this study was to better understand contributing risk factors and preventive actions based on personal experiences. Interviews were conducted with 21 workers from five Australian states using a critical phenomenological approach to capture the lived experiences of part…

    Open AccessBreanna K Wright, Helen L Kelsall et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2020Referencias: 42

    To understand the role of symptom attribution in treatment-seeking behaviours, survey results of 1356 veterans (age = 38-72 years) were analysed. Controlling for symptom frequency, significant relationships were found for specialist and psychological-related consultations. Those who favoured psychological explanations for symptoms were more likely to attend specialist and psychology-related consultations and filled significantly more prescription…

  • Uncertainty Analysis of Mobile Phone Use and Its Effect on Cognitive Function

    Open AccessChris Brzozek, Kurt K Benke et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Previous epidemiological studies on health effects of radiation exposure from mobile phones have produced inconsistent results. This may be due to experimental difficulties and various sources of uncertainty, such as statistical variability, measurement errors, and model uncertainty. An analytical technique known as the Monte Carlo simulation provides an additional approach to analysis by addressing uncertainty in model inputs using error probabi…
