The aim of this study is to assess chromosomal damage in Tunisian hospital workers occupationally exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation (IR). The cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay in the peripheral lymphocytes of 67 exposed workers compared to 43 controls matched for gender, age and smoking habits was used. The clastogenic/aneugenic effect of IR was evaluated using the CBMN assay i...... hiện toàn bộ
Carpometacarpal subchondral cysts due to repetitive movements in shoemaker: A case report
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 414-417 - 2011
Stefano Tonini, Stefano M. Candura, Andrea Lanfranco, N. Valerio Mennoia
Subchondral carpometacarpal cysts are classic and almost pathognomonic lesions found in workers using vibrating instruments over prolonged periods of time. We present the case of a 53-year-old woman who worked for 30 years sewing shoe uppers, a task which required grasping firmly a pear-shaped handle awl and pushing it through the leather upper and the sole of the shoe, with combined flexion and s...... hiện toàn bộ
Air quality as respiratory health indicator — a critical review
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 241-248 - 2011
Hanns Moshammer, Peter Wallner
As part of the European Public Health project IMCA II validity and practicability of “air pollution” as a respiratory health indicator were analyzed. The definitions of air quality as an indicator proposed by the WHO project ECOEHIS and by IMCA I were compared. The public availability of the necessary data was checked through access to web-based data-bases. Practicability and interpretation of the...... hiện toàn bộ
Woodsmoke marker levoglucosan: Kinetics in a self-experiment
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 25 - Trang 122-125 - 2012
Hanns Moshammer, Stefan Weiss, Manfred Neuberger
Concerns on climate change are leading to the renaissance of wood burning and particulate exposures. Levoglucosan is used as a marker of woodsmoke in air and urine. Contribution of data on urinary excretion of levoglucosan, to improve biomonitoring and source apportionment of woodsmoke. 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours after5 mg of levoglucosan had been administered orally, urinary excretion was measured by H...... hiện toàn bộ
Concomitant contact allergy to formaldehyde and methacrylic monomers in students of dental medicine and dental patients
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 27 - Trang 797-807 - 2014
Maya Lyapina, Maria Dencheva, Assya Krasteva, Mariana Tzekova, Angelina Kisselova-Yaneva
A multitude of acrylic monomers is used in dentistry. Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous chemical agent, which is an ingredient of some dental materials and may be released from methacrylate-based composites. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the incidence and the risk of cross-sensitization to some methacrylic monomers (methylmethacrylate — MMA, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate — TEGDMA, ethylene...... hiện toàn bộ
Case-crossover design: Air pollution and health outcomes
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 249-255 - 2011
Mieczysław Szyszkowicz, Neil Tremblay
The objective of this study was to investigate variants of case-crossover design for assessing correlations between counts of health events over time and exposure to ambient air pollution. For illustrative purposes, daily emergency department (ED) visits for depression among females were considered. Ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was used as a principal ambient air pollutant. In addition, sulphur ...... hiện toàn bộ
Underdiagnosis of childhood asthma: A comparison of survey estimates to clinical evaluation
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 26 - Trang 900-909 - 2014
Grzegorz Marek Brożek, Małgorzata Farnik, Joshua Lawson, Jan Eugeniusz Zejda
Diagnostic patterns play a role in asthma prevalence estimates and could have implications for disease management. We sought to determine the extent to which questionnaire-derived estimates of childhood asthma reflect the disease’s true occurrence. Children aged 6–12 years from Katowice, Poland, were recruited from a cross-sectional survey (N = 1822) via primary schools. Students were categorized ...... hiện toàn bộ
Neurological and neurophysiological examinations of workers exposed to arsenic levels exceeding hygiene standards
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 27 - Trang 1013-1025 - 2014
Halina Sińczuk-Walczak, Beata M. Janasik, Małgorzata Trzcinka-Ochocka, Magdalena Stanisławska, Maria Szymczak, Tadeusz Hałatek, Jolanta Walusiak-Skorupa
The assessment of the neurotoxic effect of arsenic (As) and its inorganic compounds is still the subject of interest due to a growing As application in a large array of technologies and the need to constantly verify the principles of prevention and technological parameters. The aim of this study was to determine the status of the nervous system (NS) in workers exposed to As at concentrations excee...... hiện toàn bộ

Prevention and management of work-related cardiovascular disorders
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - - Trang 1-4 - 2014
Akizumi Tsutsumi
Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) constitute a major burden for health of working populations throughout the world with as much as 50% of all causes of death and at least 25% of work disability. There are some changes in CVD risk factors among occupational classes. This is mainly due to the new types of work-related causes of morbidity associated with the recent developments in global work life, par...... hiện toàn bộ
