Increased Incidence of Cancer and Asthma in Houses Built on a Former Dump Area
Authors: Eero Pukkala, Antti Ponka
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2001)

Twelve blockhouses were built in Helsinki in the 1970s on a former dump area containing industrial and household waste. We investigated whether the exposure to landfill caused cancer or other chronic diseases in the inhabitants of these houses. From the Population Register, we identified 2,000 persons who had ever lived in houses built on the dump area and a similar reference cohort from similar houses elsewhere in Helsinki. We identified their cancer cases from the Cancer Registry, and the other chronic diseases eligible for free medication from the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. At the end of 1998, 88 cases of cancer had been diagnosed, whereas the expected number based on the incidence rates among all inhabitants of Helsinki was 76.1. The excess cases were entirely attributable to males and to follow-up >or= 5 years after moving into the dump area [standardized incidence ratio (SIR) in this category, 1.61; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.11-2.24], and they were distributed evenly over primary sites. The relative risk increased slightly with the number of years lived in the area. The relative risk of cancer between the dump area and reference houses was 1.50 (1.08-2.09), similar in both sexes. Of the other chronic diseases, the SIRs for asthma (1.63; CI, 1.27-2.07) and chronic pancreatitis (19.3; CI, 2.34-69.7) were significantly increased. The possibility of a causal association between dump exposure and incidence of cancer and asthma cannot be fully excluded. The Helsinki City Council decided to demolish the houses in the dump area, and most houses have already been destroyed.

Chilling away the pain of vascular headache
Authors: J. Elliott
Journal: JAMA (1979)

Physicians faced with patient complaints about the often intolerable pain of vascular headache, whether migraine, cluster, or a combination of the two, will be interested in a progress report from the field of cryosurgery. Cryotherapy for vascular headache, consisting of freezing of various parts of the sphenopalatine ganglion region, was first shown to be effective in 1962. Since that time the technique has been shown to provide only temporary relief from pain (lasting from two to five years) and to be effective only in selected patients. Today these limitations remain, but refinements in the technique promise considerable relief for some sufferers. In a report to the recent annual meeting of the American College of Cryosurgery at Grand Island, NY, James Ozenberger, MD, past president of the group and assistant clinical professor of surgery at Yale University School of Medicine, described a follow-up study on his most recent series of headache
Fatigue in long-term non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors.

Journal: Journal of Clinical Oncology (2015)

e20628 Background: Fatigue is a common and distressing effect of cancer and its treatment, potentially affecting quality of life (QOL) for years after treatment. However, the prevalence and persistence of fatigue among long-term survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remains unknown. We aimed to identify demographic, clinical, and psychosocial risk factors for persistent fatigue in this population. Methods: In 2010, surveys were mailed to 682 NHL survivors who participated in a study 5 years earlier; respondents were, on average, 10.4 years post diagnosis. Standardized measures of QOL, symptoms, medical history, and demographic variables were reported at both time points. We defined significant fatigue conservatively as 0.5 standard deviations below the SF-36 scale’s cutoff for fatigue, and we defined persistent fatigue as significant fatigue at both time points. Chi-square, t-tests, and logistic regression were used to determine risk factors and predictors for persistent fatigue. Results: 30.8% (n = 172) and 33.0% (n = 186) of patients reported significant fatigue at time point 1 and 2, respectively; 20% of patients had persistent fatigue. Patients with persistent fatigue were more likely to report: female gender, income < $30,000, less than college education, less exercise, active disease, chemotherapy, at least one recurrence of their disease, less social support, an average of 3.8 more comorbidities, and significantly more posttraumatic stress than those without persistent fatigue (all p < .05). Logistic regression showed that education less than college, more comorbidities, less exercise, and more posttraumatic stress were independent predictors of persistent fatigue (all p < .05). Conclusions: Fatigue plagues one-third of NHL survivors and persists in one-fifth of this population even years after diagnosis. These findings could inform clinical practice in NHL survivorship and highlight targets for intervention.

StatBite: Melanoma Incidence: 1992-2007
Journal: JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute (2011)

The incidence of melanoma has been increasing in the United States for several decades.Especially rapid increases have occurred among young white women (3.8% annually since 1995) and white men over age 65 (8.8% annually since 2003).Several new drugs for metastatic melanoma have entered advanced trials in the past 2 years, but researchers are still working out problems with them, such as acquired resistance to the drug PLX4032.See accompanying news story (page 170).

Dispelling stereotypes associated with aging
Authors: D. E. Riesenberg
Journal: JAMA (1986)

As people age, they become cranky and hypochondriacal, less able to cope with stress, and uninterested in sex. If these are your impressions, you are unaware of work at the Laboratory of Behavioral Sciences of the Gerontology Research Center. Paul T. Costa, Jr, PhD, chief of the laboratory's section on stress and coping, and Robert R. McCrae, PhD, research psychologist in the section, have followed about 300 subjects from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging for up to 12 years. Based on self-reporting and spouse questionnaires, they find personality to be "remarkably stable over time." These scientists, who feel that there is no typical "older personality," warn that lasting behavioral changes in an older person should alert family to the need for medical evaluation. Costa and McCrae have also studied coping mechanisms in the elderly. They find that age-related differences in coping are due to the different nature of stressors

THE last report of this nature in the Journal appeared in the issues of August 19 and 24, 1954, from which point the present review carries on. It is not always easy to decide, in reading various articles, whether they represent "progress" or just another point of view on the same subjects, based on the writers' own ideas, experience and favorite methods that are bound to differ one from the other.One would think, for example, that the facts of anatomy would have been settled beyond argument years ago by the many excellent anatomists of the world's medical schools.

Reports on Sanitary Engineering in Houses, Hospitals, and Public Institutions

II.TZwetil/aion antd Disconnection of Zouse-drains from trie Sezwer, ec.SUPPOSING any of the drain-pipes mentioned in the former article to have been carefully laid and with proper fall from the sewer up to the outside of a building, the next question to consider is, how best to convey into them the various efCic matters of the household.The common practice is to run the pipes into the house, and join the waste-pipes directly into them; but the consequence of this is, that the sewer-air, when compressed from any cause, forces the hydraulic seals of the traps, and disperses itself over the house.One safe plan, therefore, is to discon- nect the drain-pipes inside the house from those outside the house by building over the channel of conveyance, somewhere close to the exte- rior side of the wall, a grid or grating, and so opening the drain at that point to the light of day.By such a procedure, the passage of the sewer-gases into an establishment is effectually prevented.
