A sample taken from the public water supply, and a hot water sample (80 degrees C) collected from hot water tanks, did not yield legionellas. Legionella pneumophila serogroup 3 was found in samples taken at the first point of mixed hot and cold water (50 degrees C) at 3 X 10(2) cfu l-1. 12 of 26 samples from the shower-heads yielded 10(3) to 2.5 X 10(5) cfu l-1 and one of 12 water samples from oxygen bubble humidifiers tested yielded 1.6 X 10(4) cfu l-1. No other legionellas species or serogroups of Legionella pneumophila were isolated during the study. No cases of nosocomial pneumonia were detected among 3653 patients' records, nor was there serological evidence of Legionella infection in the 180 patients tested.

Cancer-related pain, the most common and the most annoying one, is not only a symptom but also an important subspecialty and its management is still challenging. OBJECTIVES: To assess the level of pain and cancer pain knowledge in Iran in comparison with the whole world. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A search of the literature including papers published in PubMed before March 2016 was carried out. RESULTS: There have been an increasing number of publications on pain since 1842 and a growing number of publications on cancer pain since 1929. There has also been remarkable growth in our understanding of cancer pain, particularly since 2010. More than one-third of studies on pain and cancer-related pain were published after 2010. CONCLUSION: There is a need to be more inventive with the management of cancer-related issues, especially pain in developing countries, to maximize the quality and quantity of healthcare delivery to cancer-stricken patients. It seems that non-governmental organizations like MAHAK can play a significant role in this goal.

STUDY DESIGN: Forty human sound permanent molars which were extracted for periodontal reasons were used in the experimental protocol as under: Group-A (20 teeth):-A 5X4 mm window of the enamel surface was etched with 37% H3PO4 gel for 15 seconds, washed with distilled water and air dried. A single coat of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive was applied and photo polymerized for 20 seconds and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin block of length 5 mm, width 4 mm and height 5mm respectively was built and photo polymerized in increments for 20 seconds each. Group-B (20 teeth):--Similarly the enamel surface was treated with 5.25% NaOCl for 60 seconds, washed with distilled water and then etched with 37% H3PO4 gel for 15 seconds, washed with distilled water and air dried. A single coat of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive was applied and photo polymerized for 20 seconds and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin block of length 5 mm, width 4 mm and height 5 mm respectively was built and photo polymerized in increments for 20 seconds each. The shear bond strength of all the samples were measured (in MPa) on Instron Mechanical Testing Machine. RESULTS: The mean shear bond strength value for Group-A was 13.51 +/- 5.726 MPa and for Group-B being 15.06 +/- 6.220 MPa. No statistically significant difference in the shear bond strengths was observed between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: No significant effect of sodium hypochlorite enamel deproteinization on the shear bond strength of Adper Single Bond 2 adhesive and Filtek Z-350 XT composite resin before acid etching was observed in this study.

In a typical experiment, 100muL of DES (as water-miscible extraction solvent) was added to 1.5mL of sample solution containing target analytes. A homogeneous solution was formed immediately. Injection of 100muL of THF (as emulsifier agent) into homogeneous solution provided a turbid state. After extraction, phase separation (aqueous phase/DES rich phase) was performed by centrifugation. DES rich phase was withdrawn by a micro-syringe and submitted to isocratic reverse-phase HPLC with UV detection. Under optimum conditions obtained by response surface methodology (RSM) and desirability function (DF), the calibration graphs were linear in the concentration range from 10 to 200mug/L for benzene, 10-400mug/L for toluene, 1-400mug/L for ethylbenzene, biphenyl, chrysene and fluorene, and 0.1-400mug/L for anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, phenanthrene and pyrene. The coefficients of determination (r(2)) and limits of detection were 0.9924-0.9997 and 0.02-6.8mug/L, respectively. This procedure was successfully applied to the determination of target analytes in spiked water samples. The relative mean recoveries ranged from 93.1 to 103.3%.

Pub Date Free Form Volume 51 Issue 5 Start Page 394 Other Pages 6 Notes ID: 20817023 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language en SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract OBJECTIVE: A national surveillance system to track hookah use by adolescents does not exist. A growing body of evidence suggests that high school-aged students are experimenting with this form of tobacco. This study adds to the current literature by providing prevalence estimates and factors associated with hookah use among New Jersey high school students. METHOD: This study explores factors associated with hookah use using 2008 NJYTS data. The 2008 NJYTS was a self-reported, paper-and-pencil, cross-sectional survey of a representative sample of 3010 high school students. RESULTS: 9.7% of NJ high school students are current hookah users. Predictors of hookah use included those who identified as Asian, concurrent tobacco users, perceiving that cigars are safer than cigarettes, or perceiving that smoking looks cool. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of hookah use, higher likelihood of concurrent tobacco use among hookah users, and misperceptions of safety and popularity of hookah among NJ adolescents are cause for concern and action. The development and regular implementation of standardized hookah prevalence questions into our national and state surveillance systems, as well as targeted, state-specific youth education and prevention activities are essential to thwart this growing public health concern.

Nicotine medications have been useful for smoking cessation but have not found widespread popularity among smokers, perhaps because of slow nicotine delivery and other sensory characteristics that differ from cigarettes. Traditional smokeless tobacco delivers as much nicotine as cigarettes and has been advocated for harm reduction but contains carcinogenic nitrosamines and has not been proven to promote cessation. Furthermore, there is concern that dual use of smokeless tobacco and cigarettes may inhibit quitting smoking. Newer oral dissolvable tobacco products contain lower levels of toxicants than other smokeless tobacco but also deliver much less nicotine and have not been popular with consumers. Electronic cigarettes that aerosolize nicotine without generating toxic tobacco combustion products have become quite popular and hold promise as a way to attract smokers away from cigarettes, although efficacy in promoting smoking cessation has not yet been demonstrated. There are concerns about safety of long-term use, and there is evidence that youth, including nonsmokers, are taking up e-cigarette use. E-cigarettes are marketed for use when one cannot smoke conventional cigarettes, and such use might result in more persistent cigarette smoking. Although their benefits and risks are being vigorously debated, e-cigarettes or other clean nicotine delivery devices could play an important role as an adjunct to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulatory intervention to make cigarettes less addictive and in this context could contribute to the end of cigarette smoking and smoking-induced disease.

In contrast to free-living cells, bacterial cells within biofilms resist sanitizers and antimicrobials. While building biofilms, cells physiologically adapt to sustain the otherwise lethal impacts of a variety of environmental stress conditions. In this development, the production and embedding of cells in extracellular polymeric substances plays a key role. Biofilm bacteria can cause a range of problems to food processing including reduced heat-cold transfer, clogging water pipelines, food spoilage and they may cause infections among consumers. Recent biofilm investigations with the aim of potential control approaches include a combination of bacterial genetics, systems biology, materials and mechanic engineering and chemical biology.

Emerging adults (ages 18 to 25) have a higher risk for hookah use relative to younger and older groups. While research on the correlates of hookah use among emerging adults begins to accumulate, it may be useful to examine how transition-to-adulthood themes, or specific thoughts and feelings regarding emerging adulthood, are associated with hookah use. This study determined which transition-to-adulthood themes were associated with hookah use to understand the risk and protective factors for this tobacco-related behavior. METHODS: Participants (n=555; 79% female; mean age 22) completed surveys on demographic characteristics, transition-to-adulthood themes, hookah, and cigarette use. RESULTS: Past-month hookah use was more common than past-month cigarette use (16% versus 12%). In logistic regression analyses, participants who felt emerging adulthood was a time of experimentation/possibility were more likely to report hookah use. However, transition-to-adulthood themes were not statistically significantly related to cigarette use. CONCLUSIONS: The profile for hookah use may differ from that of cigarettes among emerging adults. Themes of experimentation/possibility should be addressed in prevention programs on college campuses and popular recreational spots where emerging adults congregate. These findings can inform future studies of risk and protective factors for hookah use among emerging adults.

STUDY DESIGN: We present 11 cases of inner ear dysfunction in nine divers with inner ear decompression illness. RESULTS: All nine divers had significant right-to-left shunt as diagnosed by transcranial Doppler sonography. CONCLUSIONS: The authors thought that mechanism of causation in these cases may have been intravascular bubble emboli and that inner ear decompression illness may be more common among recreational divers than currently recognized. Failure to treat inner ear decompression illness with recompression therapy can result in permanent disability. Because the differential diagnosis between inner ear barotrauma and inner ear decompression illness can be impossible, the authors suggested that divers who present with inner ear symptoms following a dive should have recompression immediately after having undergone bilateral paracentesis.
