Consequently, the number of diving-related accidents, including both decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, have increased. Though both involve bubbles, decompression sickness is a disease which involves gas bubbles forming in tissues and venous blood, while arterial gas embolism results from the introduction of gas bubbles directly into the arterial circulation. Although the pathologies and natural histories of decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism are different, the treatment of these conditions is essentially the same. Compression in a recompression chamber is the definitive treatment of both decompression sickness and arterial gas embolism, and any delay before treatment must be minimised if a good outcome is desired.

Water Supply Pub Date Free Form 1989/ Volume 7 Issue 1 Start Page 179 Other Pages 183 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0735-1917 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract A survey on the occurrence of copper, zinc, lead, cadmium and chromium in water distributed by 55 Finnish waterworks indicated that most of the elevated metal concentrations in tap water originated from the materials used for water pipes and armatures. Metal concentrations in raw water were usually very low, in most cases below the detection limit. Studying the possible connection between the occurrence of metals and the type of waterworks (surface/ground water; water treatment process) indicated that alcalization procedure applied for corrosion prevention had a marked effect on the metal concentrations found in tap water. Copper and zinc were found in greater quantities in water from ground water supplies with soda or caustic soda for alcalization treatment than in water from surface water supplies with lime alcalization, the differences being statistically significant. There were no statistically significant differences between the metal concentrations in ground waters alcalized with soda or caustic soda and untreated ones. No statistically significant differences were found between the different types of waterworks as to the occurrence of lead, cadmium and chromium.

Seventy-five extracted and frozen bovine mandibular young permanent incisors were used. The etchant used in this study was 40% phospholic acid gel and the etching times were 0, 10, 20, 30 and 60 seconds. All of the specimens were washed with an air water spray for 30 seconds after etching. The bonding agent and composite resin used in this study were Photo Bond and Photo Clearfil A (Kuraray Co.). Shear bond strengths to the outer enamel layers and inner enamel layers of the same teeth were measured. After the shear bond strength test, all the test surfaces of the enamel and resin specimens were observed using the SEM. The following conclusions were obtained. 1) The etching times which showed the highest bond strength were 20 seconds on the outer enamel layers (bond strength: 35.25 +/- 6.60 MPa) and 30 seconds on the inner enamel layers (bond strength: 40.15 +/- 6.59 MPa). 2) When the enamel was etched with all of the etching times, the bond strengths were significantly higher than those of the enamel without etching on the outer and inner enamel layers. 3) In the etched groups, significant differences between the bond strengths were not obtained among the different etching times on the outer and inner enamel layers. 4) In the comparison of the bond strengths between the outer enamel layers and the inner enamel layers, the bond strengths of the inner enamel layer were higher than those of the outer enamel layer with 0, 10, 30 and 60 seconds of etching times. However, a significant difference between the bond strengths was obtained only in the cases with 30 seconds of etching time. 5) In the etched groups, such a tendency toward a higher bond strength was observed in cases which showed poor enamel prism structures and poor resin tags, and resin widely adhered on the enamel surface. 6) Thirty seconds is a sufficient time for etching on the ground young permanent enamel using Photo Bond and Photo Clearfil A.

The distribution of metals in the forest floor of aged conifer stands at a plantation in Northern England	1988	Department of Environmental Science, University of Lancaster, Lancaster LA1 4YQ	Read more...

Pub Date Free Form 1988/ Volume 51 Issue 1 Start Page 31 Other Pages 47 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0269-7491 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The distribution of the elements Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, V and Zn has been examined in the horizons of soils under aged Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr.) stands at a plantation in Northern England. The stands are under first-generation cultivation and are up to 33 years old. Cadmium, Mn, Pb and Zn concentrations were consistently higher in the organic layers than in the underlying mineral soil. This contrasted with the situation for Sr and V. Cadmium, Pb and Zn all showed an increase in concentration in the L + F horizons with stand age and a corresponding increase in the difference between L + F and H + mineral horizon concentrations. Soil pH declined with increasing stand age. Cadmium, Cr, Pb and Zn were all present at higher concentrations in the F horizon than in any other, while Cu and Ni were relatively constant through all the horizons studied. For all nine elements, the H horizon was the largest store of the three organic layers. Calculated rates of accumulation of Cd, Pb and Zn in the L + F horizons gave good agreement with estimated regional atmospheric deposition rates. In comparison to atmospheric deposition, biological mobilisation and deposition of Cd, Pb and Zn make a relatively minor contribution to the surface soil metal burden. Cadmium appeared to be the most readily leached of these three metals from the forest floor, although some transfer of atmospherically-derived Pb to the H + mineral soil horizons was indicated.

Lancet Pub Date Free Form 1988/ Volume 2 Issue 8612 Start Page 669 Other Pages 672 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0140-6736 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract An epidemic of nosocomial Legionella micdadei pneumonia occurred among renal transplant patients in the University of Virginia hospital between 1978 and 1982. Although no further cases were diagnosed after 1982, filters and ultraviolet light (UVL) fittings were installed in 1985 as an attempt to disinfect water piped to rooms of transplant patients, because of concern about persistence of L micdadei in hospital water. Water samples were obtained from eight UVL-treated rooms and eight control rooms. 26 of 95 control samples were culture positive for L micdadei compared with 0 of 71 samples of filtered, UVL-treated water (p < 0.0001, Fisher's exact test). After the UVL fitting and filter had been bypassed because of a leak, 9 of 33 samples from the UVL rooms were positive (p < 0.0001). These data suggest that UVL treatment may be useful in continuous disinfection of water in the hospital rooms of high-risk patients.

Pub Date Free Form 1988/ Volume 17 Issue 3 Start Page 651 Other Pages 654 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0300-5771 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract In a population-based case-control study in the metropolitan areas of Porto Alegre and Pelotas in southern Brazil children dying in infancy from diarrhoea were compared to neighbourhood controls in terms of several social and environmental variables. Factors found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of death from diarrhoea included the non-availability of piped water, the absence of a flush toilet, residence in a poorly built house and household overcrowding. When adjustment was made for confounding variables and the mutual confounding effect of the environmental variables on each other, the only association that remained statistically significant was that with the availability of piped water. The association with poor housing was almost significant (p = 0.052). Compared to those with water piped to their house, those without easy access to piped water were found to be 4.8 times more likely to suffer infant death from diarrhoea (95% confidence interval 1.7 to 13.8) and those with water piped to their plot but not to their house had a 1.5 times greater risk (95% confidence interval 0.8 to 3.0).

Studies were done with two tap water cultures (WS1 and WS2) containing L. pneumophila and associated microbiota to characterize growth-supporting activity and assess the relative importance of the microbiota in supporting multiplication of L. pneumophila. The water cultures were incubated in the dark at 35 degrees C. The growth-supporting factor(s) was separated from each culture by filtration through 1-micron-pore-size membrane filters. The retentate was then suspended in sterile tap water. Multiplication of L. pneumophila occurred when both the retentate suspension and the filtrate from either culture were inoculated into sterile tap water. L. pneumophila did not multiply in tap water inoculated with only the filtrate, even though filtration did not reduce the concentration of L. pneumophila or heterotrophic bacteria in either culture. Growth-supporting activity of the retentate suspension from WS1 was inactivated at 60 degrees C but unaffected at 0, 25, and 45 degrees C after 30-min incubations. Filtration experiments indicated that the growth-supporting factor(s) in WS1 was 2 to 5 micron in diameter. Ciliated protozoa were not detected in either culture. Hartmannellid amoebae were conclusively demonstrated in WS2 but not in WS1. L. pneumophila multiplied in tap water inoculated with the amoebae (10(3)/ml) and the 1-micron filtrate of WS2. No multiplication occurred in tap water inoculated with the filtrate only. Growth-supporting activity for L. pneumophila may be present in plumbing systems; hartmannellid amoebae appear to be important determinants of multiplication of L. pneumophila in some tap water cultures.
