Heart Rate Variability & Ultrafine Particle Exposures
Over the last ten years, many epidemiological studies have assessed changes in cardiac morbidity and mortality based on exposures to ambient to particles (Dockery et al., 1993, Schwartz, 1994; Samet et al., 2000; Peters et al., 1999). Exposure to particles of aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm and <10 µm have earned considerable attention as elevated levels have been associated with lung function ...

Geocoding Health Data: The Use of Geographic Codes in Cancer Prevention and Control, Research and Practice
In the past, disease pattern mapping depended on census tracts based on political units, such as states and counties. However, with the advent of geographic information systems (GIS), researchers can now achieve a new level of precision and flexibility in geographic locating. This emerging technology allows the mapping of many different kinds of geographies, including disease rates in relation to ...

Tiger Bone & Rhino Horn: The Destruction of Wildlife for Traditional Chinese Medicine
In parts of Korea and China, moon bears, black but for the crescent-shaped patch of white on their chests, are captured in the wild and brought to "bear farms" where they are imprisoned in squeeze cages, and a steel catheter is inserted into their gall bladders. The dripping bile is collected as a cure for ailments ranging from an upset stomach to skin burns. The bear may live as long as fifteen ...

Healthy and Productive Work: An International Perspective
The Enterprise Culture of the 1980s helped transform economies of Western Europe, but left behind a legacy of stress, both for managers and shop floor workers. The cost to business is seen in absenteeism, reduced productivity, compensation claims, health insurance and direct medical costs, which in the US cost approximately $150 billion a year. Stress related absences are about ten time more ...
