Étude Des Produits Soufrés Émis Lors De La Fabrication De La Pâte Chimique De Papier : Résumé, Nicole Goyer, Louis Gendreau

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Le secteur des pâtes et papiers représente au Québec une activité industrielle importante, qui regroupe 60 usines et près de 31 000 travailleurs^[1]. Différents procédés chimiques, mécaniques et thermiques sont utilisés pour obtenir un papier aux caractéristiques voulues. Lors de la fabrication de la pâte de papier par des procédés chimiques, les produits soufrés sont les principaux contaminants susceptibles d'être émis dans l'air du milieu de travail. Cependant, l'importance de l'exposition des travailleurs à ces composés est peu documentée^[2]. De plus, pour le contaminant majeur, soit le sulfure de diméthyle, peu de données toxicologiques sont disponibles …

A Civil Liberties Analysis Of Surrogacy Arrangements, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

In this essay the author comes to the following conclusions based upon a civil liberties analysis. First, surrogacy arrangements cannot be prohibited or criminalized. Second, the state cannot ban the exchange of money for surrogacy services, provided the money is paid for conception, gestation, and birth. Money, however, cannot be paid on condition that the gestational mother waive her parental rights over the child. Third, contractual provisions that require the gestational mother to waive her parental rights or her rights to privacy and autonomy are void and unenforceable. Fourth, when the child is born, both the gestational mother and the …

Women And Aids: The Future Is Grim, Mary E. Guinan, Ann Hardy

School of Public Health Faculty Research

Recently, we analyzed the reported cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in women in the United States.1 We found two areas of great concern: first, women are more likely than men to acquire AIDS through heterosexual intercourse, and second, women are the source of disease for about 80% of children with AIDS. In this column we will discuss the source and distribution of AIDS in women, and in a future piece we will discuss women as the source of infection for pediatric AIDS cases.

Effects Of Dietary Calcium Levels On Human Blood Pressures, Janice Mearkle

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The prevalence of hypertension in the U.S. and similar industrialized countries continues to rise. Millions of people are affected in America alone. Usual treatment includes a low sodium diet, weight loss if needed, and drug therapy. Some health providers also encourage stress management as an adjunct to therapy. These treatments have been shown to be effective but patient compliance continues to be poor. Past research has explored the relationships between dietary calcium and hypertension and has found that there is an interaction between blood calcium levels and high blood pressure. The research reported here was a test of the relationship …

Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2a: A Northern Ireland And Australian Family, David R. Hadden, Fergus O'Reilly, Laurence Kennedy, Colin Russell

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A Northern Ireland/Australian family with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A is described. Three members of the first generation studied have died, two men (aged 35 and 51) as a result of metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma and one woman (the index case, aged 50) due to hypertensive complications during thyroidectomy from an undiagnosed pheochromocytoma. All members of this family found by screening to have either medullary thyroid carcinoma or pheochromocytoma, or both, have been asymptomatic for their disease.

Osteoporosis And Ert--The Jury Is Still Out, Mary E. Guinan, Karen Steinberg, Lambertina Freni-Titulaer

School of Public Health Faculty Research

Bone loss in women accelerates immediately after menopause, often leading to osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures. In 1985,247,000 hip fractures occurred in people over 45 years of age. Among those who live to be 90, one-third of women and one-sixth of men will experience hip fractures. Six months after fracture, 25% of victims will not be able to carry out their usual activities, and 50% will need assistance to do so. Hip fractures are not only a serious cause of morbidity but they also increase the risk of mortality in older people. Because the proportion of the …

Women, Children And Aids, Mary Guinan

School of Public Health Faculty Research

More than 500 cases of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AlDS) in children (ages I3 and under) had been reported to the Centers for Disease Control as of August , 1987. Of these children, 78% were infected perinatally by their mothers. The ratio of AIDS cases among women to AIDS cases among ; i children has remained stable at approximately 5:1 for several years. So, for the foreseeable future, we can expect that for every five reports of women with AIDS, one child with AIDS will be reported. As is the CMe with other sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS causes a disproportionately …

Helminth Remains From Prehistoric Indian Coprolites On The Colorado Plateau, Karl J. Reinhard, Richard H. Hevly, Glenn A. Anderson

Karl Reinhard Publications

Examination of coprolites excavated from archaeological sites in the Americas demonstrates excellent preservation of helminth eggs and, in some cases, larvae. To gain an understanding of helminth parasitism in prehistory on the Colorado Plateau of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, 319 coprolites from 5 archaeological sites were analyzed. Helminth eggs and larvae were recovered after the coprolites were rehydrated, screened, and sedimented. At a sixth site, soils excavated from 5 rooms used as latrine areas were processed with palynological techniques. The results indicate that all but 1 of the prehistoric populations examined were infected with intestinal worms. The helminths implicated …

The Future Of Public Health Law, Lawrence O. Gostin

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Developments in medicine and constitutional law dictate modification of public health legislation in the United States. Traditionally overlooked by legislators, present public health laws provide inadequate decision-making criteria and inappropriate procedures for dealing with issues. Revised legislation should provide health care officials and agencies with the tools to balance individual rights against public health necessities. This article makes four recommendations for legislative reform: (1) remove artificial legislative distinction between venereal and other communicable diseases; (2) provide criteria defining "public health necessity" to limit discretionary exercise of police power by health officials; (3) provide strong confidentiality protections in the collection and …
