摘要:

Information has been obtained on a cohort of 16,243 men employed for at least one year in the manufacture of paint or varnish after January 1, 1946, and for seven subgroups on the basis of exposure. These workers experienced a level of mortality that compares favorably with that of the U.S. white male population. The workers' pattern of mortality differed somewhat from the U.S. pattern, with considerably reduced mortality from psychiatric, metabolic, respiratory, and violent causes. There was an increased mortality due to bowel and rectal cancer. While the numbers are smaller, there are also increased rates for liver and skin cancer. Lung cancer rates, while not in excess of the national average, did not match the low mortality from nonmalignant, noninfectious respiratory disease. The authors have concluded that work in this industry presents no major health hazard.

摘要:

“Mass hysteria” is an epidemic diagnostic term used to characterize unexplained outbreaks of syncope among women. A syncope outbreak among women in a meeting in a rural area of Michigan prompted an intense investigation for etiology. Low levels of ozone, carbon monoxide, and pentane were found associated with the outbreak. These levels were too low by themselves to explain the symptoms. A sociometric scale of intensity of illness was devised and found to be highly correlated (r=−0.94) with the weight of those who fainted. It is argued that mass hysteria may be the result of interactions of low levels of toxicants and may not be a result of the “hysterical” behavior in women at all.

摘要:

A course on occupational health unique at the high school level is being given at an independent college-preparatory day school in California. The course content was initially included in the other offerings, but now has attained its own identification. Enrollment in the course is the largest in any elective offered at the school. Topics covered include all of the significant current issues facing occupational health professionals in the United States today, ranging from federal mandates to specific problems in toxicology.

摘要:

The study compared two groups of alcoholics who had received treatment in a multi-modal, behavioral program. One group (151 subjects) were not drinking at all at the end of the follow-up year, while the second group (109 subjects) had returned to heavy drinking. The data indicated few differences between the two groups on various psychosocial, work performance and demographic variables when they entered treatment. Both groups showed initial improvement on psychosocial and work performance variables after residential treatment. The abstainer sample maintained the improvement throughout the follow-up year, while the group which returned to heavy drinking showed a significant decrement in psychosocial behavior and work performance after the initial improvement.
