Occupational Exposure To Snowmobile Emission At Yellowstone National Park, Wendy Campbell, Ryan Morris, Dale Stephenson, Terry Spear
Occupational Exposure To Snowmobile Emission At Yellowstone National Park, Wendy Campbell, Ryan Morris, Dale Stephenson, Terry Spear
Dale J. Stephenson
In recent years, regulations regarding snowmobile recreation in Yellowstone National Park have become more restrictive. New regulations limit the number of snowmobiles entering the park, restrict the engine type, and require that all riders must utilize a licensed guide. Given these regulations, it is hypothesized that occupational exposures to the combustion products from snowmobile exhaust have decreased. This research project performed occupational exposure monitoring of National Park Service Employees while working at the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park during the 2004-2005 winter season. Products of snowmobile exhaust including carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, volatile organic compounds, fine particulates, and noise …
“Interaction” And Research Utilisation In Health Policies And Programs: Does It Work?, Anita Kothari, Stephen Birch, Cathy Charles
“Interaction” And Research Utilisation In Health Policies And Programs: Does It Work?, Anita Kothari, Stephen Birch, Cathy Charles
Anita Kothari
The objective of this study was to assess if interaction between users and producers of research is associated with a greater level of adoption of research findings in the design and delivery of health care programs. Responses to the dissemination of a research report on breast cancer prevention were compared between two groups of public health units in Ontario, Canada. Although all public health units received the report, only a subset of units was involved in the development of the report, while others were not. Research utilisation was conceptualized in terms of stages, including reading the report, information processing, and …
Higher Burden Of Hemorrhagic Stroke Among Women An Autopsy-Based Study In São Paulo, Brazil, Paulo A. Lotufo
Higher Burden Of Hemorrhagic Stroke Among Women An Autopsy-Based Study In São Paulo, Brazil, Paulo A. Lotufo
Paulo A Lotufo
The aim of this study was to verify the gender difference in sudden cardiovascular death, mainly comparing brain infarction and hemorrhagic stroke. We analyzed 970 autopsy cases from a total of 3,802 nonviolent deaths (448 considered as sudden deaths, 296 undetermined, and 226 non-sudden deaths) including patients aged 30–69 years. All cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 69% of sudden deaths, and all types of stroke for only 14%. The proportions of sudden death for all cardiovascular diseases, coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke deaths were similar for both sexes. However, sudden deaths due to all types of stroke (women 20.0%; …

Stroke In Brazil: A Neglected Disease, Paulo A. Lotufo
Paulo A Lotufo
The turning point in the transition from infectious diseases to non-transmittable diseases in Brazil occurred in the 1960s, taking the country as a whole. However, considering the main cities, such as São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, cerebrovascular disease mortality rates have surpassed the “old cardiovascular diseases” like rheumatic heart disease and syphilitic aortic disease since the end of World War II. Until the end of the 1980s, the burden of stroke mortality observed in the main Brazilian cities was higher than in the United States, Canada and western European countries, and similar to what is observed in Eastern Europe …

Trends Of Stroke Subtypes Mortality In Sao Paulo, Brazil (1996-2003), Paulo A. Lotufo, Isabela M. Bensenor
Paulo A Lotufo
The decline of stroke mortality rates has been described in Brazil; however, there is no data about stroke subtypes. We described the changes of stroke mortality rates in the city of Sao Paulo (1996-2003) emphasizing intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. We categorized mortality data by gender and 10-year age-strata from 30 to 79 years-old. For men, an annual reduction of all types of stroke (-3.9%), and of stroke subtypes as intracerebral hemorrhage (-3.0%) and cerebral infarction was observ e d (-2.7%) as well as, a decline of ill-defined stroke (-7.4%). For women, a decline was observed for all types of …

Progress Testing: Evaluation Of Four Years Of Application In The School Of Medicine, University Of São Paulo, Paulo A. Lotufo
Paulo A Lotufo
Progress testing is a longitudinal tool for evaluating knowledge gains during the medical school years. Objectives: (1) To implement progress testing as a form of routine evaluation; (2) to verify whether cognitive gain is a continuous variable or not; and (3) to evaluate whether there is loss of knowledge relating to basic sciences in the final years of medical school. Methods: A progress test was applied twice a year to all students from 2001 to 2004. The mean percentage score was calculated for each school year, employing ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni test evaluation for each test. Results:Progress testing was …

Can Hopelessness And Adolescents’ Beliefs And Attitudes About Seeking Help Account For Help Negation?, Coralie J. Wilson
Can Hopelessness And Adolescents’ Beliefs And Attitudes About Seeking Help Account For Help Negation?, Coralie J. Wilson
Frank Deane
Avoidance of appropriate help is common in acutely suicidal samples and has been confirmed in nonclinical samples but factors that contribute to this help negation effect remain unclear. The current study is the second in series from the first author's larger PhD research program. In a sample of 269 nonclinical Australian high school students, the current study examines the impact of hopelessness, previous mental health care, beliefs, and attitudes toward professional psychological help on the help negation relationship. Results revealed that suicidal ideation significantly predicted lower help seeking intentions and that although hopelessness could not explain the help negation effect, …
Help Seeking For Mental Health Problems In Adolescence And Early Adulthood., Coralie J. Wilson
Help Seeking For Mental Health Problems In Adolescence And Early Adulthood., Coralie J. Wilson
Coralie J Wilson
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Adolescence and young adulthood are critical life stages for mental health, as this is the period when most mental health problems and mental disorders have their peak incidence. It is also a time of increased suicidal ideation and frequency of suicide attempts. Despite the importance of adolescence and young adulthood in the aetiology of mental disorders, there is evidence that young people may be poorly informed about mental health and are unlikely to consult a professional for their mental health problems. Help-seeking is a term used to refer to the behaviour of actively seeking help from other people. …
Measuring Help-Seeking Intentions: Properties Of The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire, Coralie J. Wilson
Measuring Help-Seeking Intentions: Properties Of The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire, Coralie J. Wilson
Coralie J Wilson
A clear understanding of help-seeking intentions and behavior is fundamental to the identification of factors that can be modified to facilitate young people’s help-seeking when they are psychologically distressed or suicidal. Despite considerable research on help-seeking intentions and behavior for personal-emotional or distressing problems, integrating prior research has been impeded by a lack of consistent and psychometrically sound help-seeking measures. The General Help-Seeking Questionnaire (GHSQ) was developed to formally assess two aspects of help-seeking: (1) current intentions to seek help from different sources for different problems; and (2) quantity and quality of previous professional psychological helping episodes. The current study …

The Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene and benzo(ghi)perylene) concentrations in fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM2.5–10) atmospheric particulate matter were measured at Sa˜o Paulo city, Brazil. The dominant PAHcompounds were indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, benzo(ghi)perylene and benzo(b)fluoranthene for both the fractions. The calculated ratios of some specific PAHs were in close agreement with those attributed to direct emissions of car exhaust. The factor analysis for PM2.5 produced four factors: Factor 1 was attributed to diesel emissions, Factor 2 was attributed to stationary combustion source, Factor 3 was attributed to vehicular emissions and Factor …
