[Exposure to chloroprene as an occupational hazard (a cohort epidemiologic study)].

A cancer epidemiological study was conducted in chloroprene workers in Yerevan. In a cohort of male workers, the total morbidity rates for all tumor patterns were significantly lower (32%) than expected, which was attributed to the effect of "the healthy worker". Risk for hepatic tumor was 3.83 times the expected level among male operators of the chloroprene production equipment. A direct "dose-effective" correlation was established between liver cancer risk and length of record for occupational exposure to chloroprene. The highest risk was among males who came into contact with the substance under the age of 30.

[Biosynthesis of sterols by various yeasts].

Biosynthesis of sterines by yeasts was studied with 112 strains belonging to 9 genera; 77 strains synthesized ergosterine and 15 most active strains were selected, which belonged to the following genera: Saccharomyces, Torulopsis, Hanseniaspora, Debaryomyces, Candida, Mechnikowia. Sterine composition was studied in these active strains. The main sterine in all studied strains was ergosterine.

Deployment dialysis in the U.S. Army: history and future challenges.

The U.S. Army has demonstrated that acute renal failure (ARF) could be treated successfully with dialysis during war since the early 1950s. Recent downsizing and lack of ARF patients during recent deployments may reduce the urgency to invest in the equipment modernization, personnel, and training necessary to maintain deployment dialysis capability. New dialysis equipment must be developed and purchased to replace the current Army deployable dialysis equipment that will be obsolete soon. The objective of this paper is to review ARF and dialysis during past American wars, the Armenian earthquake, and recent field training exercises to derive lessons for policy planners, clinicians, and logisticians for future deployments. Methods included medical literature search and describing the experiences of current Army personnel. The advantages and disadvantages of several commercially available dialysis systems are discussed in the context of deployment environment and policy. Recommendations for equipment and training are proposed to maintain deployment dialysis capability.

[Gentic study of paroxystic familial polyseritis. 72 cases].

Study of the mode of hereditary transmission of familial paroxystic polyserositis in Lebanon led us to conclude that the disease was transmitted in a dominant fashion. In almost one third of our families, dominant transmission was certain or probable. In the other families, dominant heredity was not excluded if the hypothesis, supported by many facts, of incomplete penetrance is accepted. The possibility that certain forms of the disease are dominant and others recessive cannot be rejected, but in the absence of biological proff of this genetic heterogeneity it cannot be confirmed. The majority of the patients, as is usual in the disease, were male. The highest risk groups in the Lebanese population are Armenians and Shiite Moslems
