Ethical issues among Finnish occupational physicians and nurses. (1/562)

A postal survey was conducted among 200 Finnish occupational physicians and nurses on their ethical values and problems. Both groups considered 'expertise' and 'confidentiality' as the most important core values of occupational health services (OHS) corresponding with newly published national ethical guidelines for occupational physicians and nurses in Finland. Nearly all respondents had encountered ethically problematic situations in their work, but ethical problems with gene testing in the near future were not considered likely to occur. Only 41% of the nurses and 36% of the physicians had received some training in the ethics of OHS, and 76% of all respondents never used available ethical guidelines. According to the results, even if ethics play a vital role in OHS, the ability to critically evaluate one's own performance seems quite limited. This creates a need for further training and more practicable national guidelines.  (+info)

The feasibility of conducting occupational epidemiology in the UK. (2/562)

A postal survey was carried out of 1,000 UK companies to collect information about employee biographical and work history records. The overall response rate was 46%. All companies collected surname, forenames, address, date of birth and National Insurance number--information needed for cross-sectional studies. Other biographical details such as maiden name and National Health Service number were collected less often, which could increase the cost and difficulty of tracing ex-employees. Seventy per cent reported destroying their records within 10 years of an employee leaving, rising to 82% for companies with fewer than 100 employees. The destruction of employee records creates problems for historical cohort studies and case-control studies, and may hamper ex-employees trying to claim benefit for occupational-related illness. If the scope of future occupational epidemiology is to be improved, guidelines for the collection and retention of the data required must be developed and industry encouraged to participate.  (+info)

An animal exposure system using ultrasonic nebulizer that generates well controlled aerosols from liquids. (3/562)

Various aerosol generators have been developed for animal inhalation experiments and the performance tests of measuring instruments and respirators. It has been, however, difficult to generate aerosols from an aqueous solution or suspension keeping the concentration and particle size distribution constant for a long time. Resolving such difficulties, the present study developed an animal exposure system that generates well-controlled and stable aerosols from liquids. The exposure system consists of an aerosol generator using ultrasonic nebulizer, a mixing chamber and an exposure chamber. The validity of this system was confirmed in the generation of NiCl2 and TiO2 aerosol from solution and suspension, respectively. The concentration levels of NiCl2 aerosol were kept at 3.2 mg/m3 and 0.89 mg/m3 for 5 hours with good coefficients of variation (CVs) of 2.5% and 1.7%, respectively. For TiO2 aerosol, the concentration levels of 1.59 mg/m3 and 0.90 mg/m3 were kept for 5 hours with small CVs of 1.3% and 2.0%, respectively. This exposure system could be sufficiently used for inhalation experiments with even high toxic aerosols such as NiCl2 because a momentary high concentration possibly affects results and an extremely stable concentration is required.  (+info)

Micronucleus test using cultured new born rat astrocytes. (4/562)

Micronuclei is induced in cytoplasm as a consequence of the formation of chromosomal fragments or remaining chromosomes during cell division by the cause of clastogens or spindle poisons, and is used as an indicator of genotoxicity screening tests. There are few short-term genotoxicity screening tests using brain cells. We attempted to establish a new in vitro micronucleus test (MN test) system by use of central nervous system cells. Primary cultured astrocytes were prepared from newborn male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. In growth curve of astrocytes, doubling time was determined to be 31 h. In time study, the highest frequency of micronuclei was observed at 48 h, 72 h and 6 h-exposure-66 h-recovery by vincristine (VCR), mitomycin C (MMC) without metabolic activation system and cyclophosphamide (CPM) with metabolic activation system, respectively. Dose-response relationships between micronucleus frequency and concentrations of MMC, VCR and CPM were observed, respectively. It is suggested that the in vitro MN test using new born rat-astrocytes could be used as a screening test of environmental and occupational genotoxic chemicals in the central nervous system cells.  (+info)

Special medical examination program reform proposal in Korea. (5/562)

We are at a time when reform in the special medical examination program in keeping with the changing times is desperately needed because the common perception of workers, employers, and medical examination facilities is "special medical examination is merely ritualistic and unproductive." Therefore, we have tried to set forth the basic structure for reforming the special medical examination program by taking a close look at the management status of the current program and analyzing its problems. The specifics of the special medical examination program reform proposal consist of three parts such as the types, health evaluation based on occupational medicine, and the interval, subject selection, items and procedure. Pre-placement medical examination and non-periodic medical examinations-as-necessary are introduced newly. Health evaluation based on occupational medicine consists of classification of health status, evaluation of work suitability, and post-examination measure. Details regarding the medical examination interval, subject selection, items and procedure were changed.  (+info)

The present state and future prospects of occupational health in Bangladesh. (6/562)

Bangladesh is a relatively young and developing country. At the present time, like in most developing countries, a clear demarcation between occupational health care and general medical care is difficult to be recognized in Bangladesh. Occupational health is a fairly new field, as the country is undergoing industrialization and occupational health activities are operated by several ministries, such as Labour, Health, Industry and Transport. Legal foundations of the occupational health-care system based on British India and Pakistani era, were adopted and amended by the Government of Bangladesh after the liberation of the country in 1971. Most of the Labour laws have been rectified by the Government of Bangladesh according to the ILO Conventions. Reconsideration of the occupational health service system avoiding duplication for the 'occupational health' component in several ministries might be helpful to achieve the successful provision of an occupational health service in the developing Bangladesh.  (+info)

Adrenosympathetic overactivity under conditions of work stress. (7/562)

Serial measurements of urinary adrenaline, noradrenaline, and 11-hydroxycorticosteroid excretion were performed on 32 healthy men under two conditions of work stress; piecework and work on assembly line. A statistically significant increase in adrenaline, noradrenaline, and 11-hydroxycorticosteroids was observed for piecework and assembly line workers compared with salaried and 'ordinary' workers. The results support the assumption that psychosocial factors of an everyday type have significant effects on the sympathoadrenomedullary and adrenocortical function.  (+info)

Exposure to trichloroethylene I. Uptake and distribution in man. (8/562)

Fifteen healthy male subjects were exposed to about 540 and 1,080 mg/m3 of trichloroethylene (TRI) in the air during rest and exercise on a bicycle ergometer. Each subject was exposed during four 30-min periods. The arterial blood concentration increased linearly with the concentration in the alveolar air. The uptake of TRI was about 55% of the supplied amount at rest. At a work load of 150 W during the fourth period the percentage uptake decreased to about 25%. For one fairly thin subject the uptake was near zero at the end of exposure. This development was probably due to the relatively low solubility of TRI in blood and tissues. The uptake of TRI may be estimated from pulmonary ventilation and the concentration in alveolar and inspiratory air.  (+info)

Background: Occupational medicine has shifted emphasis from disease treatment to disability rehabilitation and management. Hence, newly developed occupational rehabilitation programs are often generic and multicomponent, aiming to influence the sick-listed persons perception on return to work, and thereby support the return to work process. The aim of this study was to explore sick-listed persons experiences with taking part in an in-patient occupational rehabilitation program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Methods: Twenty-nine adults on sickness benefit or work assessment allowance due to musculoskeletal and/or common mental health disorders participated in this study. They were interviewed in focus groups at the beginning and at the end of a 3.5 week inpatient group-based occupational rehabilitation program in Central Norway. Key elements in the program were Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), physical exercise and creating a work-participation plan. The program was mainly ...
These two books actually complement each other in their approaches to the subject of occupational medicine. Drs. Fleming, DAlonzo, and Zapp devote a great deal of space to general discussions of the organization and problems of a department of occupational medicine. Their book is divided into eight sections. The first section (five chapters) deals with organization of such a department. The second section (four chapters) covers industrial preventive medicine. Section three (five chapters) discusses physical environment, work, stress, and occupational health. The fourth section (nine chapters) deals with the services allied to occupational medicine. Section five (four chapters) covers psychiatry; ...

In the UK the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) estimate that 5m workers are exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV) in the workplace and of these 2m are exposed at levels that put them at risk of developing vibration-related disease [1]. The potentially disabling nature of these disorders has been increasingly recognized and the European Union has published a directive, for implementation by member states, placing limits on acceptable levels of exposure for individual workers. However important areas of uncertainty remain including those disorders likely to be caused by, as opposed to being associated with, HTV; the relative roles of the occupational history and standardized laboratory testing in diagnosis; and the establishment of safe levels of HTVexposure. In this issue of Occupational Medicine three papers explore different elements of this debate. Musculoskeletal disorders and symptoms do not form part of the diagnostic criteria, adopted in the UK by the HSE for hand-arm vibration syndrome

Not to be confused with Clinical ecology (sometimes also called environmental medicine). Environmental medicine is a multidisciplinary field involving medicine, environmental science, chemistry and others, overlapping with environmental pathology. It may be viewed as the medical branch of the broader field of environmental health. The scope of this field involves studying the interactions between environment and human health, and the role of the environment in causing or mediating disease. As a specialist field of study it is looked upon with mixed feelings by physicians and politicians alike, for the basic assumption is that health is more widely and dramatically affected by environmental toxins than previously recognized. Environmental factors in the causation of environmental diseases can be classified into: Physical Chemical Biological Social (including Psychological and Culture variables) Ergonomic Safety Any combination of the above In the United States, the American College of ...
The Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (AFOEM)s training program is focused on the ability to assess a persons fitness for work, facilitate return to work of a person after injury or illness, and identify ways in which work or environment harms health so as to negotiate effective prevention and to respond to the needs of courts and tribunals. The AFOEM training program encourages trainees to assess the effects of harmful exposures in places where they occur, to research the health effects of new and developing work activities and technologies, and to seek and seize opportunities to foster prevention.. Trainees are required to participate in training review meetings, complete six-monthly training status reports, learning plans, formative assessments and work a minimum of ten hours per week in occupational and environmental medicine.. Trainees can apply to become inactive at any time but must continue to submit 6-monthly reports and cannot take any assessment ...

Their practice guidelines are explained here. Many of the diagnostic tests they recommend are questionable. Treatment includes avoidance, immunotherapy, nutritional supplements, detoxification, restricted diets, and drugs.. The poster boy for environmental medicine is Dr. William Rea, who was profiled on Nightline in 2008. They interviewed Rea and toured his clinic, seeing the detoxification saunas, the ceramic walls chosen because they are nonreactive, and the exercise machines that were cleaned of the lubricants that were putting fumes into the air. He claimed to have successfully treated 30,000 patients. They asked him about allegations that he had injected jet fuel into patients, and he explained that he only injected jet fuel antigens as a skin test for allergy. They asked him where his research was published and he evaded a direct answer, saying things like The New England Journal of Medicine is a drug company journal. (!?). They interviewed one of his patients: a medical doctor who ...
In this issue of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Mehta et al1 describe the potential for SERPINA1 genetic variants to modify the risk of obstructive airways disease associated with workplace inhalation of toxicants. We comment on the research, with an eye toward the ethical considerations for using genetic markers in the workplace.. The association of α 1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been recognised as a clinical entity since 1963.2 AAT is inherited in an autosomal codominant fashion, occurring as the result of phenotypic expression of rare genetic variants of the SERPINA1 gene.3 ,4 Most people with a severe deficiency in AAT are homozygous carriers of the so-called PiMZ allele. A less severe genetic variant, the PiMS allele, also increases risk for COPD among homozygous individuals. Of course, the PiMZ and PiMS alleles are relatively rare, occurring at a frequency of approximately 2% and 8% in European populations.3-5 The ...

The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) is pleased to support your resolution expressing the sense of the House that there should be an increased Federal commitment to prioritizing prevention for all Americans.

A growing body of research demonstrates the connection between preventive practices and lowered total costs - essentially proving the scientific and economic case for prevention. Health promotion and early intervention are clearly effective in improving health and controlling health costs in the

Occupational lead poisoning is significantly decreasing thanks to the enhanced understanding of preventive medicine and occupational health since the 1980s. With regard to non-occupational lead poisoning, due to various policies including mandating the use of lead-free gasoline, banning of the use of paint containing lead, and encouraging the use of lead-free soldered food cans in the U.S. after the mid-1970s, the blood lead concentration of the general public fell as well [8]. In Korea also, since the 1980s, due to the gradual decrease in the lead concentration in the air by the use of lead-free gasoline, use of lead-free paint pigment, and the increased health consciousness of the public, the exposure to lead-contaminated water and food has decreased. As a result, the lead concentration of the general population is not higher than that of many advanced and developing countries [5].
