Risk of Lymphohematopoietic Malignancies in Uranium Miners
Řeřicha et al. (2006) analyzed data from Czech uranium miners with respect to incidence of malignancies of the lymphohematopoietic system. Their results, however, do not correspond with those of two recent studies on German uranium miners (Kreuzer et al. 2004; Möhner et al. 2006). Řeřicha et al. (2006) used a case– cohort design, in which the subcohort was stratified by attained age and duratio...
متن کاملOropharyngeal candidiasis in children with lymphohematopoietic malignancies in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Purpose: Over the past years, the role of fungi as a cause of nosocomial infections in hospitalized patients has been accentuated. Candida species constitute an important group of fungi causing diseases in immunocompromised patients. Oropharyngeal candidiasis continues to be a prevalent infection in immunodeficient patients. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of o...
متن کاملBenzene and lymphohematopoietic malignancies in China.
While this study is larger than previous investigations and includes workers with a wide range of exposures to benzene, the estimates of risk, as measured by statistical confidence intervals, are still fairly broad, and would benefit from the larger numbers that could be provided by continued follow-up of this population. Nevertheless, the study confirms earlier findings of increased risk for A...
متن کاملBenzene and lymphohematopoietic malignancies in humans.
BACKGROUND Quantitative evaluations of benzene-associated risk for cancer have relied primarily on findings from a cohort study of highly exposed U.S. rubber workers. An epidemiologic investigation in China (NCI/CAPM study) extended quantitative evaluations of cancer risk to a broader range of benzene exposures, particularly at lower levels. METHODS We review the evidence implicating benzene ...
متن کاملMonitoring genotoxic exposure in uranium miners.
Recent data from deep uranium mines in Czechoslovakia indicated that in addition to radon daughter products, miners are also exposed to chemical mutagens. Mycotoxins were identified as a possible source of mutagenicity present in the mines. Various methods of biomonitoring were used to examine three groups of miners from different uranium mines. Cytogenetic analysis of peripheral lymphocytes, u...
