Cancer mortality among magazine printing workers.

OBJECTIVE: After an inquiry from the employees of an offset printing plant, a historical cohort study was conducted to investigate cancer mortality among these workers. METHODS: The cohort comprised 262 men, who contributed 2771 person-years of observation. 16 deaths were identified during the follow up period (1980-91). Expected numbers of deaths were derived from age specific regional rates. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: An increased cancer mortality was found after 10 years of employment (SMR 213, 95% CI 98 to 405, based on nine deaths), mainly due to a high mortality from lung cancer (SMR 381, 95% CI 104 to 975, four deaths), and from oesophageal cancer (SMR 1049, 95% CI 216 to 3065, three deaths). For workers with at least 20 years since the start of employment, the SMR was 262 (95% CI 105 to 540) for all cancer sites, 447 (95% CI 92 to 1306) for lung cancer, and 1094 (95% CI 132 to 3952) for oesophageal cancer. The increased cancer mortality was concentrated among pressmen. CONCLUSION: Although based on small numbers, the findings suggest an increased risk of cancer among these workers, which should be further investigated.

'Frankenstein genes', or the Mad Magazine version of the human pseudogenome.

Annotation of the human genome is inching forward. Seven human chromosomes have now been fully annotated, covering 17 per cent of the genome, and at least one chromosome has been re-annotated. The enormity of the task forces a dependence on automated tools for detecting and assembling the genes, followed by hand curation to correct errors and polish the gene models. The accuracy of gene prediction algorithms is very good for internal exons from intact genes, but these programs do peculiar and exasperating things to pseudogenes. These programs can actually resurrect pseudogenes from the dead, making them into viable gene models for intact proteins, albeit science-fictional proteins. This process is demonstrated for four human pseudogenes from the cytochrome P450 family and one putatively functional P450 gene, CYP2U1, having a non-consensus intron boundary. These examples are offered as a call-to-arms to improve pseudogene prediction as an art in itself, and not as a by-product of gene annotation. Failure to do so will flood the databases with thousands of false-positive predictions. Indeed, they are already there.

Breast cancer in mass circulating magazines in the U.S.A. and Canada, 1974-1995.

This paper presents the results of a study of the images of breast cancer in the highest circulating periodicals in the USA and Canada over a twenty year period of time. Both manifest and latent themes are noted and described. The emphasis in the manifest themes is on the medical aspects of the treatment and early detection of breast cancer. The latent themes emphasize the contrast in the ways that women with the disease, as compared to their doctors, are described. Notably, women are portrayed as being 'worried about their health' and, in particular, the most feared of 'their' diseases, breast cancer. Breast cancer is said to be caused by everything, especially women's own traitorous bodies. Women are described as isolates, as emotional and preoccupied with their sexual attractiveness. Doctors are described in contrasting ways, as moral truth-seekers, infused with rationality and intelligence. The ubiquitous causes of breast cancer are also noted. The paper concludes with a discussion of the possible implications of the gendered character of the reporting about breast cancer.

[Brazilian Nursing Magazine--a history of resistance].

Part of the conquest of ANEDB, since 1920 the REBEn itself inserting in the professional dispute about the diffusion of the nursing facts. Ought to Edith Magalhães Fraenkel and Rachel Haddock Lobo the inspiration and initiative for the creation, since 1929, within the participation in the I Quadrienal of ICN congress, in Montreal where were discussed facilities, difficulties and advance of nursing newspaper. The ANNAES of nursing, edited by the newspaper "Journal do Brasil--R.J.", in 1932, was the precursor of the REBEn. With her existence, readers, students and Professionals greediness for extend his specifics knowledge, constructors of the historic documentation and the knowledge profession, responsible by the scientific and technologic development and by the concept emission of different period of the Brazilian nursing, has learned to take advantage on his benefits. With more of 50 volumes and 200 edited copies the REBEn has acquired a reference status in the domestic and international of health and human science areas. Already consolidate; spread dissertation results, thesis, and work papers, presented or showed in Brazilian congresses of nursing. It's the most consulted newspaper as source and field scientific investigation. It provides the readers growth, organizer in the editorial process and counselors formation "ad hoc" through the permanent criticism and evaluation.
