1. Correlação entre os ensaios de citotoxicidade em Artemia salina Leach e atividade antineoplásica sobre linhagens de células tumorais para algumas classes de produtos naturais / Correlation between the citotoxicity assays in Artemia salina Leach and antineoplasic activity on tumoral cell lines for some natural products groups
The aim of this study was to correlate qualitative and quantitatively the lethal concentration needed for the citotoxic test on Artemia salina with the inhibitory concentration for the growth of tumoral cell lines using ten pure substances already known. Estimates for the year 2008 and also valid for the year 2009, in Brazil, show the occurrence of 466.730 n

3. Quantitative relations between exposure to respirable coalmine dust and coalworkers' simple pneumoconiosis in men who have worked as miners but have left the coal industry.
Present estimates of the quantitative relations between exposure to mixed respirable coalmine dust and risk of developing coalworkes' simple pneumoconiosis are based on studies of working miners. These studies did not include men who had been miners but had left the coal industry, and it was not known whether the estimates of risk were also appropriate for t

4. Retrospective estimation of exposure to benzene in a leukaemia case-control study of petroleum marketing and distribution workers in the United Kingdom.
OBJECTIVE: To provide quantitative estimates of exposure to benzene for cases and controls in an epidemiology study to investigate the risk of leukaemia in petroleum distribution workers. METHODS: Work histories were obtained for cases and controls together with detailed information on the distribution sites. For each job in the work history, an estimate of

5. Risk assessment of leukaemia and occupational exposure to benzene.
Experimental toxicological studies have offered clear evidence that benzene induces haematopoietic neoplasms, and it is generally accepted that exposure to benzene is a risk factor for leukaemia, in particular for acute non-lymphatic leukaemia. Quantitative aspects of benzene risk assessment are still a matter of controversy, however. In several risk assessm

6. Quantitative aspects of radon daughter exposure and lung cancer in underground miners.
Epidemiological studies have shown an excessive incidence of lung cancer in miners with exposure to radon daughters. The various risk estimates have ranged from six to 47 excess cases per 10(6) person years and working level month, but the effect of smoking has not been fully evaluated. The present study, among a group of iron ore miners, is an attempt to ob

7. The exposure of young children to accident risk as pedestrians.
Pedestrian road accidents show a marked peak for children aged 5, 6 and 7 years with boys twice as involved as girls at these ages. Howarth et al (1974) described a framework in which measures of exposure were defined and related to the accident statistics to obtain estimates of absolute levels of risk for different categories of pedestrian in different traf

8. Effects of low level exposure to lead on neurophysiological functions among lead battery workers.
OBJECTIVES: Assessment of neurophysiological functions in workers with low level exposure to lead and evaluation of the efficacy of bone lead measurements in the prediction of effects of lead. METHODS: Exposure to lead of 60 workers from a lead battery battery factory was estimated from historical blood lead measurements and analysis of lead in the tibial an

9. Video display terminal use during pregnancy and reproductive outcome--a meta-analysis.
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to obtain quantitative information from published data on the potential association between video display terminal (VDT) use during pregnancy and the outcome. DESIGN--Results of nine published case-control studies (or cohort studies analysed as case-control) on the relation between VDT exposure during pregnancy and the outcome we

10. Studies of the occupational exposure of Malaysian plantation workers to paraquat.
Studies carried out on the occupational exposure to paraquat of plantation workers in Malaysia comprised quantitative estimates of dermal and respiratory exposure of knapsack spray operators, carriers, and rubber tappers operating under their normal working conditions. Spray operators have been shown to be dermally exposed to paraquat by walking through rece

11. Lung cancer in a non-ferrous smelter: the role of cadmium.
Lung cancer mortality was examined in a cohort of 4393 men employed at a zinc-lead-cadmium smelter. There was an excess of lung cancer (overall SMR = 124.5, 95% confidence interval 107-144) which was particularly evident for those employed for more than 20 years. A statistically significant trend in SMRs with increasing duration of employment was apparent. Q

12. Occupational exposure to magnetic fields and the risk of brain tumors
We investigated the association between occupational exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (MFs) and the risk of glioma and meningioma. Occupational exposure to MF was assessed for 489 glioma cases, 197 meningioma cases, and 799 controls enrolled in a hospital-based case–control study. Lifetime occupational history questionnaires were adminis
