Abstract We compared personal histories of 57 cases and 122 age‐matched controls to identify possible environmental determinants Parkinson's disease (PD). Odds ratios (OR) adjusted for sex, age, smoking were computed using stepwise logistic regression. found a statistically significant increased risk working in orchards (OR = 3.69, p 0.012, 95% CI 1.34, 10.27) marginally associated with planer mills 4.11, 0.065, Cl 0.91, 18.50). A Fisher's exact test the association between PD development...
We compared personal histories of 127 cases and 245 controls to identify possible environmental risk factors for idiopathic parkinsonism (IP). Of our controls, 121 had cardiac disease (CD) 124 were randomly selected from electoral lists (voters). Using logistic regression adjusting sex age, we ran separate analyses: IP versus CD voters. A full occupational history was collected, as known contact with all pesticides associated the tree fruit sector agricultural industry. found a significant...
Aims & Objectives: Children in resource-limited settings (RLS) bear a disproportionate burden of mortality. Most life-threatening pediatric illnesses can be managed with basic critical care interventions but, RLS, are often without adequate resources and outside formal intensive units. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence etiology P-ACI amongst children presenting RLS hospitals. Methods: is prospective, multinational acutely ill or injured (28 days-14 years) who presented We excluded...
Abstract Recently, many British Columbia sawmills stopped using traditional chlorophenate anti‐sapstain fungicides and substituted 2‐(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TCMTB) copper‐8‐quinolinolate (Copper 8). We conducted a cross‐sectional study with two aims: to ascertain which acute health effects, if any, were associated the use of substitute fungicides; determine effectiveness first‐aid records as means detecting outcomes. Workers in five coastal asked complete self‐administered...
