This study assessed the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and investigated risk factors for LBP among seafood processing factory workers in Thailand including migrant workers. The subjects were Thai and Myanmar workers in the typical seafood processing factory. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a self-administered questionnaire. Prevalence of LBP, general characteristics, life style,...

BACKGROUND Methyl alcohol poisoning has been mainly reported in community. Two cases of methyl alcohol poisoning occurred in a small-sized subcontracted factory which manufactured smartphone parts in Korea. CASE PRESENTATION One young female patient presented with dyspnea and visual disturbance. Another young male patient presented with visual disturbance and myalgia. They treated with sodium...

The gradual and painstaking determination of the CKM matrix over a long period of time is a remarkable accomplishment of our field, and hopefully it will attain a level of completion from the B-factory studies to come. The emphasis of B-factories will be on the physics of b quarks and deservedly so. Already, there is discovery of a ∆B = 2 process (Bd−Bd mixing) and an EW-penguin decay (B → K γ)...

In view of the present situation that factory workshop is in a grey environment world, to accelerate fatigue operators and affect productivity labor, this paper puts forward how design color production from angle human physiology psychology. And points out working under good can improve reduce labor accidents.

Three studies provide data on this topic. The largest was at the Ferodo factory in the U.K. There was no evidence of an overall excess in mortality from all causes, and in particular no increase in mortality due to lung cancer. Also, there was no evidence of any dose-response effect for lung cancer. There were 13 mesotheliomas but for 10 of these there had been exposure to crocidolite whilst wo...

This investigation was undertaken primarily to examine the possibility of hearing damage from industrial ultrasonic equipment. In the factory concerned, ultrasonic washers and drills were used at a number of different locations, and girls working 12 ft (3.6 m.) away from one bank of three small washers complained of unpleasant subjective effects which included fatigue, persistent headaches, nau...

BACKGROUND Hazardous chemicals and their metabolites may accumulate in the body following repeated airborne exposures and skin contact. AIMS To estimate the contribution of skin absorption to total body burden of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) across a working week in two groups with similar levels of respiratory exposure but dissimilar skin contact. METHODS Twenty five workers in a synthetic ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of smoking on hearing loss in factory workers with occupational noise exposure. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at Birjand University of Medical Sciences, Birjand, Iran, from May to July 2013, and comprised smoking and non-smoking factory male workers. All of them were exposed to occupational noise level more than 85 decibels for at least 10 yea...
