Changes in compensation for occupationally induced bladder cancer.
faulty copper genes (almost always the result of consanguineous marriage) causes Wilson's disease. Heterozygotes are clinically well but may show some of the biochemical abnormalities. Excess copper damages first the liver and then as copper is released from the dying hepatocytes it affects the brain, eyes, kidneys, bones and joints, and possibly the parathyroid glands.8 The definitive biochemi...
متن کاملOccupationally-acquired noise-induced hearing loss: a senseless workplace hazard.
OBJECTIVES Occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) describes an acquired hearing deficiency directly attributable to excessive workplace noise exposure. Data suggest that excessive noise attributes to approximately 37% of all adult causes of hearing loss and remains a significant contributor to employment-related morbidity internationally. Typically insidiously-acquired, often without f...
متن کاملORGANOPHOSPHATE-INDUCED CHRONIC TOXICITY IN OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED WORKERS
Organophosphate chronic toxicity has been evaluated in this study. Biological screening for organophosphate insecticide-exposed workers is mostly recommended for mixers, loaders, formulators and spraymen. We have studied 17 occupationally exposed persons to pesticides. Using Ellman's colorimetric method, their plasma cholinesterase activities have been measured. Results show that the appear...
متن کاملEvaluation of a hearing compensation algorithm
David V. Anderson, Richard W. Harris, and Douglas M. Chabries Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah ABSTRACT A new hearing compensation algorithm based on a homomorphic multiplicative AGC (automatic gain control) is evaluated and compared against commercially available digitally programmable analog hearing aids. Both quantitative (speech recognition and threshold) and qualitative tests were use...
متن کاملSpeech intelligibility in noise-induced hearing loss: effects of high-frequency compensation.
The speech-recognition ability of six listeners with permanent noise-induced hearing losses above 1 kHz was evaluated with the Pascoe High-Frequency Work List spoken by a female talker and presented in the field. In experiment I the words were presented at five intensity levels through five different amplification systems (one with a uniform response and four with increasing amounts of high-fre...
