Are psychosocial factors, risk factors for symptoms and signs of the shoulder, elbow, or hand/wrist?: A review of the epidemiological literature
Tập 41 Số 5 - Trang 315-342 - 2002
AbstractBackgroundIn 1993, an extensive review on the role of psychosocial
factors in the development of musculoskeletal problems was published by Bongers
et al (1993). Since then, additional reviews on this topic have been published;
however, none of these focussed on upper limb problems.MethodsIn this systematic
review, the methodological quality of all studies was assessed and levels of
evidenc...
Mechanisms of mercury disposition in the body
Tập 50 Số 10 - Trang 757-764 - 2007
AbstractToday the most widespread human exposures to mercury are to mercury
vapor emitted from amalgam tooth fillings, to ethylmercury as a preservative in
vaccines, and to methylmercury in edible tissues of fish. This review will focus
on the mechanisms of transport of these three species of mercury. All three
species are freely moveable throughout the body. Inhaled vapor in view of its
physical ...
Methodological issues regarding confounding and exposure misclassification in epidemiological studies of occupational exposures
Tập 50 Số 3 - Trang 199-207 - 2007
AbstractBackgroundConfounding and exposure misclassification are issues that
concern epidemiologists because of their potential to bias results of studies
and complicate interpretations. In occupational epidemiology both are routinely
raised to argue that an observed result is either a false positive or a false
negative finding. Although it is important to consider the potential for
limitations of...
Obesity and other risk factors: The National Survey of U.S. Long‐Haul Truck Driver Health and Injury
Tập 57 Số 6 - Trang 615-626 - 2014
BackgroundDrivers of heavy and tractor‐trailer trucks accounted for 56% of all
production and nonsupervisory employees in the truck transportation industry in
2011. There are limited data for illness and injury in long‐haul truck drivers,
which prompted a targeted national survey.MethodsInterviewers collected data
during 2010 from 1,670 long‐haul truck drivers at 32 truck stops across the 48
conti...
But they are not thresholds: A critical analysis of the documentation of threshold limit values
Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 727-753 - 1990
AbstractThreshold Limit Values (TLVs) represent conditions under which the TLV
Committee of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
(ACGIH) believes that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed without
adverse effect. A detailed research was made of the references in the 1976
Documentation to data on “industrial experience” and “experimental human
studies.” The reference...
Cumulative arsenic exposure and lung cancer in smelter workers: A dose‐response study
Tập 15 Số 1 - Trang 31-41 - 1989
AbstractThe cause‐specific mortality was followed through 1981 in a cohort of
3,916 male Swedish smelter workers employed for at least 3 months from 1928
through 1967. Arsenic levels in the air of all workplaces within the smelter
were estimated for three different time periods. Using this exposure matrix and
detailed information of the work history, cumulative arsenic exposure could be
computed f...
Agricultural injuries among a population‐based sample of farm operators in Alabama
Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 385-402 - 1994
AbstractA population‐based study of the occurrence of agricultural injuries
during the previous year was conducted in a simple random sample of 1,000 farm
operators in Alabama in 1991. The participation rate was 86.2%. The cumulative
1‐year incidence was 9.9% (95% CI = 7.7–12.1), based on the number of injuries,
and 7.8% (95% CI = 5.8–9.8), based on the number of farmers injured. Limbs were
the bo...
