Book excerpt: This thesis assessed the risk of cancer in relation to exposure from benzene at work. The thesis is in three major sections. The first section consisted of a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of leukemia from occupational exposure to benzene. The systematic review confirmed leukemia to be important in relation to benzene exposure; 15 selected studies yielded 16 effect estimates with an overall statistically significant effect size (relative risk) of 1.40 (95% CI, 1.23-1.57). A dose response analysis was performed and provided evidence for a strong positive trend between leukemia risks and estimated exposure to benzene. The risk of all leukemia combined increased with a dose-response pattern with a summary effect size (ES) of 1.64 (95% CI 1.13-2.39) for low (40 ppm-years), 1.90 (95% CI 1.26-2.89) for medium (40-99.9 ppm-years), and 2.62 (95% CI 1.57-4.39) for high exposure (100 ppm-years). The risk of AML also increased from low (ES 1.94, 95% CI 0.95-3.95), medium (ES 2.32, 95% CI 0.91-5.94) to high exposure category (ES 3.20, 95% CI 1.09-9.45), but the trend was not statistically significant. The second section used the same method to assess other cancer risks by conducting a systematic review and further meta-analysis. The most common other cancer sites for which a possible occupational involvement from benzene has been suggested were lung, bladder, melanoma, stomach and kidney cancer. Consequently, a systematic review and meta-analysis was performed on each of these cancer sites. The results obtained did not show any clear evidence of risk for lung cancer (ES 0.99, 95% CI 0.96-1.03), bladder cancer (ES 1.00, 95% CI 0.96-1.03), or stomach cancer (ES 0.96, 95% CI 0.90-1.03). However increased risks were shown for melanoma (ES 1.25, 95% CI 1.09-1.44) and kidney cancer (ES 1.14, 95% CI 1.04-1.25). The systematic review and meta-analysis for melanoma was based on 7 available studies reporting 8 cohorts. It was not possible to conclude that benzen.

Download or read book Paediatric Haematology and Oncology written by Simon Bailey and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While survival rates for children with cancer have increased in recent times, the increased use of more aggressive therapies has brought with it significant adverse effects. Therefore, the aim of pediatric oncologists has become to achieve "cure at least cost" by the appropriate reduction of the intensity and/or duration of treatment in carefully identified good prognosis patients. By comprehensively covering these issues, this handbook aims to provide residents in pediatric hematology and oncology, as well as staff in related medical or other healthcare disciplines, with an easily accessible source of information about the basic principles of childhood cancer and leukemia, as well as much of the more detailed specialist knowledge required to care for children with these conditions. Divided into sections to allow quick access to the necessary information, the handbook covers general principles of diagnosis and treatment, short and long term care, and oncological emergencies before moving on to chapters on specific disease. Normal values and useful websites are also included for reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents WHO guidelines for the protection of public health from risks due to a number of chemicals commonly present in indoor air. The substances considered in this review, i.e. benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, naphthalene, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (especially benzo[a]pyrene), radon, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene, have indoor sources, are known in respect of their hazardousness to health and are often found indoors in concentrations of health concern. The guidelines are targeted at public health professionals involved in preventing health risks of environmental exposures, as well as specialists and authorities involved in the design and use of buildings, indoor materials and products. They provide a scientific basis for legally enforceable standards.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Veterans and Agent Orange written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-20 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1962 to 1971, the U.S. military sprayed herbicides over Vietnam to strip the thick jungle canopy that could conceal opposition forces, to destroy crops that those forces might depend on, and to clear tall grasses and bushes from the perimeters of US base camps and outlying fire-support bases. Mixtures of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), picloram, and cacodylic acid made up the bulk of the herbicides sprayed. The main chemical mixture sprayed was Agent Orange, a 50:50 mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. At the time of the spraying, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), the most toxic form of dioxin, was an unintended contaminant generated during the production of 2,4,5-T and so was present in Agent Orange and some other formulations sprayed in Vietnam. Because of complaints from returning Vietnam veterans about their own health and that of their children combined with emerging toxicologic evidence of adverse effects of phenoxy herbicides and TCDD, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was asked to perform a comprehensive evaluation of scientific and medical information regarding the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange, other herbicides used in Vietnam, and the various components of those herbicides, including TCDD. Updated evaluations were conducted every two years to review newly available literature and draw conclusions from the overall evidence. Veterans and Agent Orange: Update 11 (2018) examines peer-reviewed scientific reports concerning associations between various health outcomes and exposure to TCDD and other chemicals in the herbicides used in Vietnam that were published between September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2017, and integrates this information with the previously established evidence database.
