Systematic review of the epidemiological evidence of associations between quantified occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica and the risk of silicosis and lung cancer
Occupational health risks and intervention strategies for US taxi drivers
Research has shown that taxi drivers are at risk for numerous health concerns, such as low back and leg pain, linked to their highly sedentary occupation, long work hours and stressors related to the job (e.g. low income, safety threats). The goal of this study was to explore occupational health risks and opportunities for health interventions with taxi drivers using community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods. A mixed methods approach …
Endotoxina e câncer
A exposição à endotoxina, componente de paredes celulares bacterianas gram-negativas, é muito comum em plantas industriais e no meio ambiente. Ambientes de alta exposição incluem fazendas de criação de animais, instalações têxteis de algodão e moinhos. Neste artigo, revemos estudos experimentais, epidemiológicos e ensaios clínicos sobre a hipótese de que a endotoxina previne o câncer. Desde os anos 70, estudos epidemiológicos em têxteis de algodã…
Formal education and back pain
OBJECTIVES: To summarise the scientific evidence on the relation between educational status and measures of the frequency and the consequences of back pain and of the outcomes of interventions among back pain patients, and to outline possible mechanisms that could explain such an association if found. DESIGN: Sixty four articles published between 1966 and 2000 that documented the association of formal education with back pain were reviewed. MAIN …
Mesothelioma Surveillance to Locate Sources of Exposure to Asbestos
Maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of congenital urinary tract anomalies
To study maternal smoking during pregnancy and the risk of congenital urinary tract anomalies, we interviewed mothers of 118 affected infants born to residents of western Washington State during 1990 and 1991 and mothers of 369 control infants randomly selected from those without birth defects delivered during those years in five hospitals in King County, Washington. Maternal smoking was associated with an increased risk of congenital urinary tra…
Occupational carpal tunnel syndrome in Washington State, 1984-1988
BACKGROUND: There are no published population-based studies of occupational carpal tunnel syndrome (OCTS) using a strict case definition. Most studies are either industry specific or present patient self-report of symptoms. METHODS: We conducted a population-based incidence study of OCTS using the Washington State Workers' Compensation database. Incident OCTS claims were identified with paid bills for physician reported ICD codes 354.0 and 354.1.…
Sunlight and other risk factors for cataracts
A case control study was conducted in North Carolina to explore the relation between individual exposure to sunlight and the risk of cataracts. One hundred thirteen cases and 161 controls aged 40-69 at diagnosis were studied. Sunlight exposure was inferred from interview data on residency and time spent in the sun, combined with solar radiation data from the National Climatic Data Center. Sunlight exposure was very slightly related to all types o…
