摘要:

This paper reviews the available evidence on home birth for complications of labor and delivery, neonatal outcomes, neonatal complications and procedures utilized. Where data are available the findings are compared with hospital births. The author suggests that the present data indicates that further research is necessary to determine which childbirth environments and procedures are appropriate, and for which people.

摘要:

This paper discusses the effects on personnel from exposure in the operating room environment and suggests that the higher rates of cancer, miscarriage and birth defects experienced by these personnel may be due to anesthetic gases. Minimizing the exposure of operating room personnel to anesthetic gases by installing scavenger devices is advised.

摘要:

A comparative survey of female cosmetologists practicing in Utah was undertaken to determine if this special subgroup of the population was at increased risk of developing pulmonary dysfunction This survey was prompted by a plethora of case reports indicating that subjects exposed to aerosol hairsprays became ill with a disease known as pulmonary thesaurosis. A probability sample of 262 student cosmetologists and 213 graduate cosmetologists from all regions of Utah were medically tested and compared to a non-occupationally exposed control group of 569 people matched by age, smoking history, and region. The medical tests consisted of posterior-anterior and lateral chest X-ray, the forced expiratory spirogram pulmonary test, and a medial questionnaire (BMRC) which included questions on respiratory disease symptomatology, occupational history, smoking history, and aerosol use. Additionally, a sub-sample received three other tests of respiratory function: sputum, closing volume, and a single breath carbon monoxide diffusion test. The major disease categories sought were symptoms of sarcoidosis (this disease is indistinguishable from thesaurosis), chronic respiratory disease (obstructive and restrictive), and abnormal lung cell pathology. Findings demonstrated an increased prevalence of the thesaurosis syndrome when cosmetologists were compared to the controls, also an increased prevalence in cosmetologists of abnormal lung cell pathology and symptoms of early chronic respiratory disease.

摘要:

A new series of techniques has recently been developed, by which a pregnant woman can find out whether or not she carries a child with a neural tube defect. A fairly simple screening technique has now been put into effect in Nassau County, New York, by which 10 to 20 thousand pregnant women will be routinely tested in the next two years. As it is likely that this particular form of antenatal diagnosis will become more universally administered in this country, the matter of neural tube defects (NTD) is reviewed here.
