A cytogenetic approach to the effects of low levels of ionizing radiation (IR) on the exposed Tunisian hospital workers
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 26 - Trang 144-154 - 2013
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...
The relationship between manganism and the workplace environment in China
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - - 2012
Manganese is a trace element and a cofactor of many enzymes, so it is essential
for physiologic functioning, but it is also a neurotoxin at high doses.
Manganism is most often caused by occupational exposure. It is manifested by a
myriad of signs and symptoms ranging from the neurasthenia syndrome, such as
headache and dizziness, to the Parkinson-like syndrome, depending on the blood
manganese lev...
Carpometacarpal subchondral cysts due to repetitive movements in shoemaker: A case report
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 414-417 - 2011
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...
Air quality as respiratory health indicator — a critical review
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 24 - Trang 241-248 - 2011
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...
An overview of occupational voice disorders in Poland
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 26 - Trang 659-669 - 2014
Occupational voice disorders make the most frequently certified category of
occupational diseases in Poland, making up approximately 20% of all cases. This
study presents the current knowledge of the etiopathogenesis of occupational
voice disorders. It stresses the importance of the evaluation of vocal loading
by means of objective measurements. Furthermore, this study discusses the
medico-legal a...
High incidence of acute leukemia in the proximity of some industrial facilities in El Bierzo, northwestern Spain
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 25 - Trang 22-30 - 2012
To estimate the incidence of acute leukemia (AL) in El Bierzo (BZ) and to carry
out a cross-association analysis in order to suggest some etiological clues. We
registered all new AL cases diagnosed 2000–2005. Annual standardized incidence
rate (SIR) was calculated by the direct method. A cross-association analysis was
performed by non-parametric methods and we checked the potential interaction
bet...
Pesticide consumption, central nervous system and cardiovascular congenital malformations in the South and Southeast region of Brazil
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 27 - Trang 474-486 - 2014
To investigate the association between per capita pesticide consumption and
infant mortality rates from CNS and CVS congenital malformations in microregions
in the South and Southeast Region of Brazil. An ecological study was conducted
using data on pesticide expenditure in 1985 and 1996, and deaths caused by CNS
and CVS malformations in infants under 1 year old in 1986–1990 and 1997–2001,
respect...

Abstract
Woodsmoke marker levoglucosan: Kinetics in a self-experiment
Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine - Tập 25 - Trang 122-125 - 2012
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...
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
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...
