A rapid in-home survey and water testing was conducted 2 weeks following the spill to understand resident perceptions, tap water chemical levels, and premise plumbing flushing effectiveness. Water odors were detected in all 10 homes sampled before and after premise plumbing flushing. Survey and medical data indicated flushing caused adverse health impacts. Bench-scale experiments and physiochemical property predictions showed flushing promoted chemical volatilization, and contaminants did not appreciably sorb into cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe. Flushing reduced tap water 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (4-MCHM) concentrations within some but not all homes. 4-MCHM was detected at unflushed ( Descriptors Links Book Title Database Publisher Data Source Authors Whelton,A.J., McMillan,L., Connell,M., Kelley,K.M., Gill,J.P., White,K.D., Gupta,R., Dey,R., Novy,C.

This study (a) developed and compared methods to measure residual contamination of cars with secondhand smoke, (b) examined whether cars of smokers and nonsmokers were contaminated by secondhand smoke, and (c) how smoking behavior and restrictions affected contamination levels. Surface wipe, dust, and air samples were collected in used cars sold by nonsmokers (n = 20) and smokers (n = 87) and analyzed for nicotine. Sellers were interviewed about smoking behavior and restrictions, and car interiors were inspected for signs of tobacco use. Cars of smokers who smoked in their vehicles showed significantly elevated levels of nicotine (p < .001) in dust, on surfaces, and in the air compared with nonsmoker cars with smoking ban. When smokers imposed car smoking bans, air nicotine levels were significantly lower (p < .01), but dust and surface contamination levels remained at similar levels. Smoking more cigarettes in the car and overall higher smoking rate of the seller were significantly associated with higher secondhand smoke contamination of the car (p < .001). Use of a cutpoint for nicotine levels from surface wipe samples correctly identified 82% of smoker cars without smoking bans, 75% of smoker cars with bans, and 100% of nonsmoker cars. Surface nicotine levels provide a relatively inexpensive and accurate method to identify cars and other indoor environments contaminated with residual secondhand smoke. Disclosure requirements and smoke-free certifications could help protect nonsmoking buyers of used cars.

Fifty extracted and frozen bovine mandibular primary incisors were used. The etchant used in this study was 37% 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 after etching. The bonding agent and composite resin used in this study were Dual Cured Scotch Bond and Silux (3M Co.). Shear bond strengths on the ground enamel were measured. After the shear bond strength test, all the test surfaces of the enamel and resin specimens were observed using the SEM. The results of this study were compared with the previous results using Photo Bond and Photo Clearifil A (Kurarey Co.). 1) The etching time which showed the highest bond strength was 20 seconds (76.77 +/- 12.99 Mpa). 2) When the enamel was etched with all of the etching times, the bond strength were significantly higher than that of the enamel without etching (p less than 0.01). 3) In the etched groups, there was no significant difference among the bond strengths with all of the etching times categories. 4) In the etched groups, the longer the etching times, the lower the standard deviations were. 5) On the enamel specimens after the shear bond strength test, the frequency of the resin tags fractured inside of the enamel prisms was higher in the group which showed a lower bond strength. 6) For the same etching times, significant difference between the bond strengths of Silux and those of Photo Clearfil A was obtained only with the 20 seconds of etching time (p less than 0.01) and the bond strength of Silux was higher.

Labial surfaces of 50 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 after etching. The bonding agent and composite resin used in this study were Photo Bond and Photo Clearfil A (Kuraray Co.). After thermal cycling tests of 10,000 temperature cycles between 60 degrees C and 4 degrees C water baths, shear bond strengths on the ground enamel were measured. After the shear bond strength tests, all the test surfaces of the enamel and resin specimens were observed using the SEM. The results of this study were compared with the previous results which were not thermal-cycled. The following conclusions were obtained. 1) The etching time which showed the highest bond strength was 30 seconds (45.21 +/- 8.49 Mpa). 2) When the enamel was etched with all of the etching times, the bond strength were significantly higher than that of the enamel without etching. 3) In the etched groups, the bond strength with 20 seconds of etching time was significantly lower than those with 10, 30 and 60 seconds of etching times. 4) In the 10, 30 and 60 seconds etching times, the bond strengths with thermal-cycled groups were significantly higher than those without thermal-cycled groups. 5) On the enamel specimens after the shear bond strength tests, the frequency of the clear prism structures observed on the enamel was higher in the groups which showed higher bond strengths. However, the differences were not significant.

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.

METHODS: 48 third molars were used. Dentin and enamel specimens were sectioned and polished with 600-grit SiC paper and treated either with carbide bur or an Erbium:YAG laser and treated with one of three different conditions, acid-etch/bonding agent (Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Plus), no etching and same bonding agent, and an experimental self-etching primer (EXL 547). After storage for 48 hours at 37 degrees C and 100% humidity, specimens were prepared in an hourglass shape for microtensile bond test (ca. 1 mm2) and debonded in tension. Areas were measured and bond strengths were calculated for each specimen. Failure modes, micromorphology of surface treatments and bonding interfaces of representative specimens from acid-etched and self-etched groups were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy. Means were compared using three-way analysis of variance, and Scheffe post-hoc test (P < 0.05) was used to determine differences among surface treatments, tooth substrate and conditioners. RESULTS: Dentin prepared with the carbide bur and treated with phosphoric acid followed by the application of Scotchbond Multi-Purpose had the highest bond strengths (35.7 MPa). Enamel and dentin prepared with the Er:YAG laser had the highest bond strengths when the surfaces were acid-etched followed by Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (25.8-21.1 MPa). Carbide bur exhibited higher bond strengths than laser with the use of the experimental self-etching primer but laser showed higher bond strengths than the bur with the use of Scotchbond Multi-Purpose and no etching. The predominant failure mode of most of the treatment conditions was partially adhesive between the bonding resin and enamel or dentin, and partially cohesive within the bonding resin. SEM analysis revealed the absence of a smear layer on laser-treated teeth when compared to untreated control and bur-cut teeth.

In this review, we outline the key challenges confronting pulmonologists in the Middle East. We shed light on the diverse conditions commonly encountered in the region, from the centuries-old illnesses of tuberculosis, to contemporary problems such as lung complications from chemical warfare. We specifically highlighted unique aspects related to respiratory illnesses in the Middle East, for example, climate factors in the desert region, cultural habits, for example, water-pipe smoking and disorders unique to the region, such as BehÃ§et's disease. Pulmonologists are also faced with the consequences of modernization, including large immigrant population and associated social and health issues, rising incidence of obesity and sleep apnoea, and drug-resistant tuberculosis. Tackling these health issues will require an integrated approach involving public health, primary care as well as specialist pulmonology input, taking into consideration the unique cultural and environmental factors to ensure effective management and compliance to medical care.

International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) Phase Three was the first to report a dose-response relationship between current wheezing and exposure to parental cigarette smoke. As exposure of children to water pipe (narghile) smoke is of concern in Syria, in the ISAAC Phase Three Tartous Centre we also examined the role of parental smoking of the narghile. METHODS: Parents of children aged 6-7 years completed core written questionnaires about the prevalence of symptoms, and an environmental questionnaire for other risk factors, including parental cigarette smoking. We added questions about narghile to the questionnaire. RESULTS: Among 2 734 pupils (49% females) surveyed, we found an association between exposure to ETS of the mother smoking cigarette or narghile and ever wheezing, nocturnal cough and severe wheeze; however, the strongest association was found when the mother smoked narghile. Mother smoking narghile was also associated with exercise wheeze. Father smoking narghile, but not cigarettes, was associated with nocturnal cough, severe wheeze and exercise wheeze. The association with current wheeze became significant when mother smoked both cigarettes and narghile; however, the effect was addititive and not synergic. CONCLUSION: We recommend that international studies investigating ETS include questions on narghile smoking.

METHODS: International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaires were distributed to 13-14 year old children and to care-givers of 6-7 year old children as part of the ISAAC study. RESULTS: Completed questionnaires were received for 2614 primary and 2752 secondary students. Analysis by district showed no consistent association with exposure to industrial emissions from paper mills, natural sulphur fumes, or climatic variation. All districts are subject to high levels of pollen. Symptom prevalence was close to the mean for New Zealand centres participating in the ISAAC survey. Night cough and nasal symptoms were more common in secondary pupils exposed to smoking in the home, but there was no consistent association between passive smoking and wheeze or diagnosed asthma. Children from larger households reported less wheezy symptoms and less diagnosed asthma. CONCLUSIONS: There was no consistent evidence of an effect on respiratory morbidity from natural fumes, industrial air pollution, or climate. The indoor environment is probably of greater importance in this population.

The patient (patient 1) had traveled from Liberia, a country which, along with Sierra Leone and Guinea, is currently experiencing the largest recorded Ebola outbreak. A nurse (patient 2) who provided hospital bedside care to patient 1 in Texas visited an emergency department (ED) with fever and was diagnosed with laboratory-confirmed Ebola on October 11, and a second nurse (patient 3) who also provided hospital bedside care visited an ED with fever and rash on October 14 and was diagnosed with laboratory-confirmed Ebola on October 15. Patient 3 visited Ohio during October 10-13, traveling by commercial airline between Dallas, Texas, and Cleveland, Ohio. Based on the medical history and clinical and laboratory findings on October 14, the date of illness onset was uncertain; therefore, CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, included the period October 10-13 as being part of the potentially infectious period, out of an abundance of caution to ensure all potential contacts were monitored. On October 15, the Ohio Department of Health requested CDC assistance to identify and monitor contacts of patient 3, assess the risk for disease transmission, provide infection control recommendations, and assess and guide regional health care system preparedness. The description of this contact investigation and hospital assessment is provided to help other states in planning for similar events.
