摘要:

The prevalence of skin and eye abnormalities was determined in 77 journeymen welders, 75 members of other trades exposed to welding operations and 58 non-exposed comparison workers. Characteristics including possible risk factors for skin cancer were compared among the groups. Localized cutaneous erythema was frequent in welders and occasional in other exposed workers. Small cutaneous scars were frequent in welders. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of actinic elastosis by occupational group; however, the degree of elastosis was significantly associated with type of complexion, original hair color, eye color, childhood freckling, poor ability to tan and ease of sunburning. There were no significant differences among the groups in the prevalence of various dermatoses, skin tumors, alterations in visual acuity or clinical ocular abnormalities on slit lamp biomicroscopy and fundoscopy apart from variations in the amount of dust in the lids. The observed prevalences of skin and eye diseases may provide useful comparative data.

摘要:

Hospital employment involves certain consequent considerations that should influence the design of a worksite hypertension control program. These factors, which in combination are relatively unique to hospital work, include the statutory requirements for periodic physical examination, the accessibility of individually obtained medical attention, the relatively high employee turnover and the deployment of the work staff through day and night shifts. Based upon these considerations, a hypertension control program utilizing physician's assistants to provide semiannual blood pressure determinations to those employees with known borderline or unequivocal hypertension was implemented at Montefiore Hospital in 1977. Personal responsibility for appropriate medical attention was emphasized. During the most recent monitoring, 76% of all employees screened and 80% of those under medical attention were considered to exhibit adequate blood pressure control. This type of program, which can be adapted to other work environments, is well-accepted, effective and economical.

摘要:

A matched case-control study was conducted for 72 cases of leukemia occurring among employees of four rubber and tire manufacturing companies during the period from 1964 to 1973, to determine if certain environmental exposures were related to the risk of developing leukemia. Earlier studies conducted in one company had shown an association of lymphatic leukemia with a work history of possible solvent exposure, and the results of the present study suggest that the association is weaker than previously described. However, recently acquired detailed environmental information reported elsewhere tends to support the initial finding at this company. Further studies are required to fully resolve this issue. A new finding was the lack of the association in the other three companies. In addition, lymphatic leukemia was found to be associated with work experience in general service jobs for the two larger companies from which a majority (89%) of the cases derive. Intervals from exposure to death peaked at 27 to 38 years. No elevated risk for myeloid leukemia was found.
