摘要:
The health impact of workplace solvent exposure remains an issue of substantial interest and concern to occupational health professionals. As a result of research performed in the 1970s and 1980s, policies and programs were developed throughout the world to control excessive exposure to solvents. To an extent, these programs have been responsible for reduction of the occurrence of solvent-associated encephalopathy and other health effects. In this review of research performed since 1985, particular attention is given to issues of reversibility of neurotoxicity following exposure cessation. Furthermore, health effects involving other organ systems, particularly reproductive, renal, and hepatic disorders, are discussed. Future research directions are discussed. Finally, the practical implications of these recent research findings are described with a focus on the management of prevention programs at the work site.

摘要:
Preplacement screening is put forth by some as an effective method for preventing low back disability at the workplace. Although there are still large gaps in knowledge regarding the natural history of and risk factors for back disability, it is clear that the majority of costs are derived from the small proportion of those that will suffer with back symptoms for 6 months or more. Thus, if preplacement screening is to have an impact on health care spending and compensation costs, the screening test will have to be predictive not so much of all back injuries, but rather of work absenteeism and especially chronic disability. This paper presents some criteria for evaluating a screening program and explores the effect of choosing different outcomes for evaluation. The literature on the effectiveness of a number of preplacement screening techniques is examined. Current legislation related to preplacement screening is also described. The natural history, etiologic factors, and prognostic markers for back injuries need to be elucidated further before effective screening strategies can be developed to reduce the incidence of back injuries and back disability in the population.

摘要:
Using 10 guidelines for medical screening programs, this review assesses a screening protocol that seeks to identify presymptomatic occupational renal disease among workers with nephrotoxin exposure. The protocol uses urinary markers of early renal dysfunction for the screening test. The review reveals that arguments for screening are the clinical significance of renal disease, worker acceptance of urine collection, the availability of exposure reduction as an intervention, and the availability of diagnostic and treatment facilities. Obstacles to screening are the lack of an effective intervention, the lack of strong evidence to indicate that an elevation in the urinary markers represents a preclinical stage of occupational renal disease, and the absence of firm numbers to demarcate normal from elevated concentrations of urinary markers. Given these obstacles, screening for occupational renal disease is not recommended.

摘要:
No one is spared a regional backache. Some episodes will compromise function to the extent of work incapacity. Throughout the industrialized world, workers' compensation insurance programs provide recourse for the segment of people whose incapacitating backache is held to have arisen out of and in the course of employment. Most programs have evolved from the Prussian paradigm introduced a century ago. That evolution represents country specific, de facto experiments in health policy. In the case of Japan, the Prussian paradigm was imposed on a very distinctive tradition at the end of World War II. Therein lies one of the more dramatic experiments of health policy. This essay attempts to document the process that resulted. To gain such insight, relevant physicians and bureaucrats in Japan were interviewed and government documents reviewed. This information was supplemented by nonsystematic culling of relevant reflections of scholars also pursuing the heuristic method but with different, usually nonclinical, tempering. It is clear that Japan has evolved an approach to the worker with an incapacitating backache that favors options other than recourse in workers' compensation for redress.
