Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare patterns of water pipe and cigarette smoking in an eastern Mediterranean country. METHODS: In 2008, 1781 out of 1877 seventh graders enrolled in 19 randomly selected schools in Irbid, Jordan, were surveyed. RESULTS: Experimentation with and current water pipe smoking were more prevalent than cigarette smoking (boys: 38.7% vs 26.8%; 20.2% vs 9.0%, girls: 21.2% vs 9.5%; and 7.5% vs 2.3%, P<0.05 for all). Parent- and peer-smoking correlated more strongly with water pipe than with cigarette smoking. CONCLUSION: Water-pipe smoking is more prevalent than cigarette smoking at this early age.

Abstract
Considering the possible correlation between hemolytic and enterotoxigenic properties of Aeromonas strains mentioned in the literature, in the present work we studied the practical value of the hemolysis tests in the diagnosis of Aeromonas strains by using comparatively the hemolysis tube tests (with goat and sheep erythrocytes suspensions) as well as the technique on blood agar in aerobic conditions. There were studied comparatively 230 Aeromonas strains (different species: A. hydrophila, A. sobriae, A. caviae, A. veronii, A. salmonicida) isolated from different sources (meat products, fish of fresh waters, mussels, sea water, pipe water, diarrhoeal disease and animal faeces). The comparison among the used tests for proving the hemolytic activity of Aeromonas strains showed that: 61.89% and 56.51% from the total number of Aeromonas strains were hemolytic in the tube tests with 1% goat and 1% sheep erythrocytes suspensions respectively after 48 hrs followed by 51.72% and 48.25% strains by the 5% goat and 5% sheep blood agar plates respectively in anaerobiosis and after 48 hrs incubation at 37 degrees C. The highest incidence of hemolysin presence was pointed out in motile Aeromonas strains (A. hydrophila--60.11% and A. sobria--56.52%). Our results showing a high frequency of hemolytic activity among Aeromonas strains isolated especially in meat products are suggesting a possible correlation between the pathogenic potential and the hemolytic activity and are pleading for introduction of this test in the diagnosis of Aeromonas species.

Abstract
The very high incidence of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Golestan Province in northeastern Iran was suggested by studies in the 1970s as partly due to opium use, which is not uncommon in this area, but based on limited numbers. From December 2003 to June 2007, we administered a validated structured questionnaire to 300 ESCC cases and 571 controls, matched on neighbourhood of residence, age (+/-2 years), and sex. We used conditional logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) adjusted for potential confounders. Compared with those who used neither tobacco nor opium, risk of ESCC was increased in those who used tobacco only (OR, 95% CI: 1.70, 1.05-2.73), in those who used opium only (2.12, 1.21-3.74), and in those who used both tobacco and opium (2.35, 1.50-3.67). All forms of tobacco use (cigarettes, hookah, and nass) were associated with higher ESCC risk. Similarly, use of both crude opium and other forms of opium were associated with higher risk. Alcohol consumption was seen in only 2% of the cases and 2% of the controls, and was not associated with ESCC risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE: While cigarette smoking is recognized as being detrimental to periodontal health, the effect of water pipe smoking on gingival health is not known. The present study was conducted to determine whether water pipe smoking has an influence on gingival health. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 244 individuals aged 25-70 years. The levels of plaque and gingivitis were recorded on four sites of all present teeth, using the plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI). Information about oral hygiene practices, dental care and smoking habits was obtained at the time of the clinical examination in accordance with a predetermined questionnaire. RESULTS: The means of plaque index and gingival index values were 1.2 and 0.9, respectively. Similarly, the mean percentages of surfaces with plaque and gingival bleeding sites were 66.7% and 30.4%, respectively. There was an overall significant association between smoking and plaque index and gingival index (F = 22.9 and F = 10.8, respectively, p < 0.001). Oral hygiene was inferior in water pipe smokers, cigarette smokers, and mixed smokers when compared to non-smokers. The correlation between plaque % and gingival bleeding % in cigarette smokers was significantly weaker than in non-smokers. It was also weaker in water pipe smokers, but the difference was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The gingival bleeding response to plaque was significantly suppressed in cigarette smokers. There was a tendency towards suppression also in water pipe smokers.

Abstract
Hydrochemical variations in the major, minor and trace element concentrations of a first order stream draining a plantation of sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.), subjected to felling, are described. The stream water is acidic and aluminium bearing as the area drained comprises thin, acidic, organic-rich soils. The chemical composition of the stream varies with time and the data is scattered owing to the complex hydrological, chemical and biological interactions involved. None the less, the catchment has the ability to damp down the chemical signal of the rainfall. There is no statistically significant correlation between rainfall and stream water chemistry for any of the components measured. Deforestation leads to increased concentrations of NO3, K, H+, the major elements and Al together with a decrease in alkalinity. The changes last for ~2-3 years: conditions then revert to pre-felling levels. These results fit well with previous findings in that deforestation leads to the disruption of the biochemical functioning of the catchment (releasing nitrate and potassium and acidifying the soil water). The major element changes are linked to increased leaching of the soil waters as a consequence of changing hydrology (evapotranspiration is probably reduced and the catchment soils wet up). However, the variations in Al, dissolved organic carbon, Br and I are less than would be anticipated based on previous results for a companion study of the main drainage area. Dissolved organic carbon, Fe, Cd, Y and La show increases, but these changes occur after the felling is complete and there has been no return to pre-felling values 3 years on. The applicability of classically used cation exchange theory for the soil, the basis for many of the conclusions derived in the soil acidification debate, is questioned and found to be highly suspect.

Abstract
The waterpipe, also known as shisha, hookah, narghile, goza, and hubble bubble, has long been used for tobacco consumption in the Middle East, India, and parts of Asia, and more recently has been introduced into the smokeless tobacco market in western nations. We reviewed the published literature on waterpipe use to estimate daily nicotine exposure among adult waterpipe smokers. We identified six recent studies that measured the nicotine or cotinine levels associated with waterpipe smoking in four countries (Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, and India). Four of these studies directly measured nicotine or cotinine levels in human subjects. The remaining two studies used smoking machines to measure the nicotine yield in smoking condensate produced by the waterpipe. Meta-analysis of the human data indicated that daily use of the waterpipe produced a 24-hr urinary cotinine level of 0.785 microg/ml (95% CI = 0.578-0.991 microg/ml), a nicotine absorption rate equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes/day (95% CI = 7-13 cigarettes/day). Even among subjects who were not daily waterpipe smokers, a single session of waterpipe use produced a urinary cotinine level that was equivalent to smoking two cigarettes in one day. Estimates of the nicotine produced by waterpipe use can vary because of burn temperature, type of tobacco, waterpipe design, individual smoking pattern, and duration of the waterpipe smoking habit. Our quantitative synthesis of the limited human data from four nations indicates that daily use of waterpipes produces nicotine absorption of a magnitude similar to that produced by daily cigarette use.

Abstract
Corrosion of water pipes can be internal or external, and varies according to the pipe material. Its causes can be soil, electrolysis, chemical or electrochemical or even biological. Modern trends of water treatment (softening) and disinfection make water more dangerous for the pipes. Corrosion of pipes has been studied in Western Europe by CEOCOR and in France since 1950 by a Corrosion Commission which has published two books about it and about a theory of natural waters. Great progress has been made towards a better understanding of the corrosion phenomena but its control always remains a question of know how and good sense.

Abstract
A review, originally carried out for Sydney Water Corporation, of a complete range of direct and indirect methodologies used to assess the condition of buried cast iron and steel water pipelines is presented. These techniques include pipe sampling, pit depth measurement, soil testing using various parameters, as well as other non-destructive testing (NDT) based on various electromagnetic principles. Both the literature and comprehensive field trials have shown that soil testing using linear polarisation resistance (LPR) methodologies as an input to statistical analysis packages is a cost-effective technique. Direct evaluation using remote field eddy current intelligent pigs can also be very useful for the direct examination of critical watermains but is limited to smaller sizes of DN 150-DN 375.
