Trace and Major Element Concentrations in Cadaveric Lung Tissues from World Trade Center Health Registry Decedents and Community Controls
Studies of the health impacts of the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City's (NYC's) World Trade Center (WTC) towers have been hindered by imprecise estimates of exposure. We sought to identify potential biomarkers of WTC exposure by measuring trace and major metal concentrations in lung tissues from WTC-exposed individuals and less exposed community controls. We also investigated associations of lung tissue metal concentrations wi…
Time to Onset of Paresthesia Among Community Members Exposed to the World Trade Center Disaster
We examined whether time to onset of paresthesia was associated with indicators of severity of World Trade Center (WTC) exposure. We analyzed data from 3411 patients from the Bellevue Hospital-WTC Environmental Health Center. Paresthesia was defined as present if the symptom occurred in the lower extremities with frequency "often" or "almost continuous." We plotted hazard functions and used the log-rank test to compare time to onset of paresthesi…
Level of ‘outness’ and pornography use among men who have sex with men
Higher levels of ‘outness’ – a fundamental experience of people who experience same-sex attraction or engage in same-sex relationships – have been associated with increased community engagement, improved self-worth and relationship satisfaction. Pornography viewing is common among men who have sex with men (MSM), and may be associated with outness. Current literature lacks analyses of outness and pornography viewing among MSM. In data taken from …
Viewing Pornography Depicting Unprotected Anal Intercourse
Condom Use and Male Homosexual Pornography
The recent article by Grudzen et al.1 is an important look at the workplace safety of pornography performers in the United States. We are concerned, however, that its portrayal of condom use in pornography viewed by men who have sex with men (MSM) may be inaccurate and thus may divert attention from an issue with important public health implications. The authors report that 80% of penile–anal contacts in male homosexual pornography were protected…

Slippery Road Conditions and Fatal Motor Vehicle Crashes in the Northeastern United States, 1998–2002
Objectives. We investigated risk factors for fatal motor vehicle crashes on slippery roads in the Northeastern United States, 1998–2002. Methods. We analyzed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Results. Rates of crashes on slippery roads, and ratios of crashes on slippery roads to crashes on dry roads, were greatest among the youngest drivers. Among those aged 16 to 19 years, log…

Modulators of “Activated Motivation”
Declining seroprevalence in a very large HIV epidemic
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed recent trends in HIV seroprevalence among injecting drug users in New York City. METHODS: We analyzed temporal trends in HIV seroprevalence from 1991 through 1996 in 5 studies of injecting drug users recruited from a detoxification program, a methadone maintenance program, research storefronts in the Lower East Side and Harlem areas, and a citywide network of sexually transmitted disease clinics. A total of 11,334 …
HIV incidence among injecting drug users in New York City syringe-exchange programmes
BACKGROUND: There have been no studies showing that participation in programmes which provide legal access to drug-injection equipment leads to individual-level protection against incident HIV infection. We have compared HIV incidence among injecting drug users participating in syringe-exchange programmes in New York City with that among non-participants. METHODS: We used meta-analytic techniques to combine HIV incidence data from injecting drug …
Tuberculosis knowledge among New York City injection drug users
Structured interviews measuring tuberculosis knowledge were administered to 494 New York City injection drug users, 31% of whom reported a history of having a reactive tuberculin skin test. Medical records review of a subsample confirmed the validity of self-reported data. Most respondents understood the mechanisms of tuberculosis transmission. Three fourths of the subjects did not fully understand the distinction between a reactive skin test and…
Implications of the revised surveillance definition
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has proposed revising the AIDS surveillance definition to include any HIV-seropositive person with a CD4 cell count of less than 200 cells per microliter. Based on a study of persons receiving treatment for HIV infection, this new definition would lead to an estimated 50% increase in the number of persons recognized as living with AIDS. Among 440 HIV-seropositive research subjects recruited from drug treatmen…
Toxocara canis infection of children
Sera from 4,652 children whose blood was submitted to the New York City Department of Health for lead analysis were tested for antibodies to Toxocara canis using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Standardized to the age distribution of the study population, T. canis seropositivity (inverse titers greater than or equal to 16) was 5.7 per cent in males and 5.1 per cent in females. T. canis antibody titers and lead exposures as measured …
