The influence of pregnancy in multiple sclerosis has been a matter controversy for long time. Pregnancy Multiple Sclerosis (PRIMS) study was the first large prospective which aimed to assess possible and delivery on clinical course sclerosis. We report here 2-year post-partum follow-up an analysis factors might predict likelihood relapse 3 months after delivery. rate each trimester up end second year compared with that pre-pregnancy year. Clinical predictors presence or absence were analysed...
The primary risk factor for bladder cancer is cigarette smoking. Using a combined analysis of 11 case-control studies, we have accurately measured the relationship between smoking and in men. Available information on 2,600 male cases 5,524 controls included duration habit, number cigarettes smoked per day time since cessation habit ex-smokers. There was linear increasing with smoking, ranging from an odds ratio (OR) 1.96 after 20 years (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.48-2.61) to 5.57 60 (CI...
The very rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use the last decade has generated considerable interest possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields. A multinational case-control study, INTERPHONE, was set-up investigate whether increases risk cancer and, more specifically, RF fields emitted by phones are carcinogenic. study focused on tumours arising tissues most exposed from phones: glioma, meningioma, acoustic neurinoma and parotid gland tumours. In addition a...
<h3>Objectives</h3> The objective of this study was to examine the associations brain tumours with radio frequency (RF) fields from mobile phones. <h3>Methods</h3> Patients tumour Australian, Canadian, French, Israeli and New Zealand components Interphone Study, whose were localised by neuroradiologists, analysed. Controls matched on age, sex region allocated 'tumour location' their case. Analyses included 553 glioma 676 meningioma cases 1762 1911 controls, respectively. RF dose estimated as...
Aim: To validate short term recall of mobile phone use within Interphone, an international collaborative case control study tumours the brain, acoustic nerve, and salivary glands related to telephone use. Methods: Mobile 672 volunteers in 11 countries was recorded by operators or through software modified phones, compared recalled six months later using Interphone questionnaire. Agreement between actual analysed both categorical continuous measures number duration calls. Results:...
Objectives: Both the public perceptions, and most published epidemiologic studies, rely on assumption that distance of a particular residence from base station or broadcast transmitter is an appropriate surrogate for exposure to radiofrequency fields, although complex propagation characteristics affect beams antennas. The main goal this study was characterise distribution residential antennas using personal meters. Methods: A total 200 randomly selected people were enrolled. Each participant...
Abstract Background: Occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF) is a suspected risk factor for brain tumors, however the literature inconsistent. Few studies have assessed whether ELF in different time windows of may be associated with specific histologic types tumors. This study examines association between and tumors large-scale INTEROCC study. Methods: Cases adult primary glioma meningioma were recruited seven countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany,...
Objectives: The output power of a mobile phone is directly related to its radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field strength, and may theoretically vary substantially in different networks use circumstances due control technologies. To improve indices RF exposure for epidemiological studies, we assessed determinants multinational study. Methods: More than 500 volunteers 12 countries used Global System Mobile communications software-modified phones (GSM SMPs) approximately 1 month each. SMPs...
To test the effect of exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) on renal cell cancer (RCC) risk, a case-control study was performed in Arve Valley (France), geographic area with high frequency and degree such exposure. Cases controls were selected from various sources: local general practitioners urologists practicing physicians (urologists oncologists) other hospitals region who might treat patients this area. Blinded telephone interviews cases administered by single trained interviewer using...
To analyse factors associated with late return to work in road accident victims.The ESPARR cohort comprises victims monitored over time from initiation of hospital care. A total 608 subjects were working at the their and answered questionnaires 6 months and/or 1 year. For each level overall severity injury (Maximum - Abbreviated Injury Scale (M-AIS) 1, 2, 3 4-5), a time-off-work threshold was defined, beyond which subject deemed be returner; 179 considered returning work, while 402 showed...
The consequences of road crashes are various, and few studies have dealt with the multidimensionality outcomes. aim present study was to assess multidimensional nature outcomes one year after a crash determine predictive factors that could help in adapting medical social care prevent such improve victims' prognosis.The population 886 respondents one-year follow-up from ESPARR (Etude et Suivi d'une Population d'Accidentés de la Route du Rhône) cohort, aged ≥ 16 years; analysis carried out...
Objective. To compare health status, effect on family, occupational consequences, and quality of life (QOL) 1 year after an accident between patients with whiplash versus other mild injuries, to explore the relationship initial injury (whiplash vs other) QOL. Methods. This was a prospective cohort study. The study used data from ESPARR (a representative road victims) included 173 individuals “pure” 207 injuries. QOL at 1-year followup assessed World Health Organization Quality Life...
This study aims to compare health status and quality of life five years after a road accident between casualties with whiplash versus other mild injuries, evolution at 1 5 the accident, explore relation initial injury (whiplash vs. other) life. The used data from ESPARR cohort (a representative casualties) included 167 "pure" population 185 injuries (MAIS-1). All subjects lesions classified as cervical contusion (AIS code 310402) or neck sprain 640278) were considered casualties. Diagnosis...
