Ethn.Health Pub Date Free Form Volume 16 Issue 6 Start Page 519 Other Pages 33 Notes ID: 21671202 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language en SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract OBJECTIVE: To explore how male Bangladeshi smokers adapted to the English smoke-free legislation. DESIGN: We draw on data derived from the Evaluation of Smoke-free England (ESME), a qualitative, longitudinal study conducted between 2007 and 2008 in two English metropolitan areas. Repeat interviews (n = 34) were conducted before and after the legislation with 15 male Bangladeshi panel informants and from two focus groups: one with Bangladeshi men and the other with Bangladeshi women. RESULTS: Bangladeshi smokers who participated in this study had largely accommodated to the smoke-free legislation and most had reduced their consumption of cigarettes, albeit to a modest degree. However, at the same time some Bangladeshi smokers appeared to have increased their use of shisha, a popular alternative method of smoking tobacco in this community. Smoke-free legislation also had an impact on the social and cultural forces that shape smoking behaviour in this group. In particular, family homes continued to be a key space where tobacco is consumed, although the legislation may have helped to shift the balance in favour of forces that oppose smoking and against enduring cultural pro-smoking norms. Smoking in public was also less socially acceptable, especially in the vicinity of local mosques and at community events. In some older groups, however, smoking remains a deeply embedded social habit which can undermine smokers' efforts to quit. CONCLUSION: For maximum impact, tobacco control interventions aimed at whole populations may need to be supplemented by culturally sensitive measures in local areas where there is a high concentration of Bangladeshi people. Similar considerations may apply to other minority communities with a high prevalence of smoking.

The effect of alcalization on the occurrence of metals in tap water	1989	The National Board of Health, Helsinki	Read more...
Source Type Print(0) Ref Type Journal Article Periodical, Full Water Supply Periodical, Abbrev. 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.

Pub Date Free Form Volume 48 Issue 1 Start Page 61 Other Pages 6 Notes ID: 21137672 Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN Accession Number Language en SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Prostate cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Iran, yet there are few studies examining risk factors specific to the Iranian context. We conducted a case-control study to explore risk factors for prostate cancer in Mazandaran, Iran from 2005 to 2008. The cases were 137 men with clinicopathologically confirmed prostate cancer. Controls were 137 neighborhood and age match men without prostate cancer by PSA and digit examination. Analysis comprised an exploratory stage to identify potential risk factors, defined as variables associated with case status at the P < 0.20 level in conditional logistic regression. A second stage included all potential risk factors in multiple conditional logistic regression analysis, retaining those associated with prostate cancer at the P < 0.05 level. Potential risk factors for prostate cancer in exploratory analysis included family history of prostate cancer, history of other cancer, prostatitis, alcohol consumption, pipe or hookah smoking, walking to work, duration of occupational physical activity, intensity of occupational physical activity, body mass index, and older age. Multivariate analysis found intensity of occupational physical activity, prostatitis, and older age as independent predictors of increased risk for prostate cancer in this Iranian population. Our study confirms several recognized risk factors for prostate cancer, contributes evidence to the discussions of other hypothesized risk factors, and points to potentially new factors. Findings, along with confirmatory studies, can help guide efforts for early detection, treatment, and prevention for this common malignancy that is set to increase in Iran in future decades.

Pub Date Free Form / Volume 35 Issue 5 Start Page 405 Other Pages 426 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0090-6905 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract The complexity of Chinese orthography has hindered the progress of research in Chinese to the same level of sophistication of that in alphabetic languages such as English. Also, there has been no publicly available resource concerning the decomposition of Chinese characters, which is essential in any attempt to model the cognitive processes of Chinese character recognition. Here we report our construction and analysis of a Chinese lexical database containing the most frequent phonetic compounds decomposed into semantic and phonetic radicals according to Chinese etymology. Each radical was further decomposed into basic stroke patterns according to a Chinese transcription system, Cangjie (Chu, 1979 Laboratory of chu Bong-Foo Retrieved August 25, 2004, from http://www.cbflabs. com/). Other information such as pronunciation and character frequency were also incorporated. We examine the distribution of different types of character, the information skew in phonetic compounds, the relations between subcharacter orthographic units and the pronunciation of the entire character, and the processing implications of these phenomena in terms of universal psycholinguistic principles.

METHODS: 30 extracted premolars were evenly divided into two groups. Edgewise brackets (Orsu) were bonded with resin-modified glass ionomer (Advance) in group one and with composite resin (DM) in group two. The shear bond strengths of two materials were tested by material testing machine after 24 hours. The adhesive remnant index was scored after debonding. RESULTS: The shear bong strengths of resin-modified glass ionomer and composite resin were (6.862 +/- 2.142) MPa and (7.183 +/- 3.205) MPa respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between two groups. CONCLUSIONS: In vitro bond strength of resin-modified glass ionomer had reached the same level of composite resin. It had the prospect of clinic use.

A waterborne outbreak of gastroenteritis in the Golan Heights due to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli	2000	Huerta, M., Israel Defence Force Army Hlth. Br., Military Post 02149, Israel	Read more...

Infection Pub Date Free Form 2000/ Volume 28 Issue 5 Start Page 267 Other Pages 271 Notes Place of Publication ISSN/ISBN 0300-8126 Accession Number Language SubFile DOI Output Language Unknown(0) PMID Abstract Background: Over a period of 4 days between May 18-21, 1998, a multifocal outbreak of diarrhea, involving 175 Israel Defence Force soldiers and at least 54 civilians, occurred in the Golan Heights. Patients and Methods: Stool samples from 40 affected soldiers were collected for microbiological testing. In addition, a rapid PCR technique was employed for the direct detection of the heat-labile (LT) and heat-stable toxin (ST) genes of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in stool samples. Results: All 40 stool specimens taken from patients with diarrhea was negative by culture. However, ETEC was detected in 16 stool specimens using the rapid PCR method. The epidemiological investigation found no association between the food items consumed prior to the onset of the outbreak and the attack rate of diarrhea. A review of the water distribution system revealed that all affected military posts and civilian communities were supplied by a common water pipeline. Water sampled from various points along the distribution system showed inadequate chlorination and high concentrations of E. coli. Conclusion: This report suggests that the involvement of ETEC in the etiology of waterborne diarrheal outbreaks may be underestimated, probably due to the difficulties involved in the laboratory identification of this enteropathogen. Adoption of our rapid method for the identification of ETEC, which is applicable to routine diagnostic laboratories, facilitates pathogen detection within hours, and allows early intervention in cases of widespread diarrheal epidemics.
