Abstract

The aim of the study was to define the incidence of chronic solvent encephalopathy (CSE) in Finland during 1995-2007, evaluate the duration and nature of exposure, and identify the work tasks where CSE is encountered. Data were from the register and patient records at the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. The Finnish Job-Exposure Matrix (FINJEM) and National Statistics were used to estimate the incidence of CSE in exposed workforce. CSE cases during 1995-2007 numbered 129. The annual incidence has decreased from 8.6 to 1.2/million employed, i.e. from 18 to 3 patients per year. The number of suspected patients has, however, remained constant (mean 38.6/year). The mean age at diagnosis was 52.8, the mean duration of exposure 28.4 years, and the mean occupational exposure limit years (OELY) 10.5. During 1995-2007, the mean age increased annually by 0.6 and years of exposure by 0.8, but OELY remained constant. In comparison to FINJEM, the highest incidence was in workers exposed to aromatic hydrocarbons. Relative to workforce in occupations with solvent exposure, CSE was most frequent in wooden surface finishers and in industrial, metal, or car painters followed by floor layers and lacquerers. The incidence of CSE has decli...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
