Parathyroid tumors in atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima: epidemiological study from registered cases at Hiroshima Prefecture Tumor Tissue Registry, 1974-1987.

An examination of registered cases of parathyroid tumor in Hiroshima Prefecture between 1974 and 1987 revealed 23 cases. An epidemiological study showed that the incidence of parathyroid tumors in Hiroshima Prefecture was significantly higher in the total exposed, especially among the proximally exposed (within 2,000 m from the hypocenter), than in the control nonexposed group (P less than 0.001). A similar trend was seen for parathyroid tumor associated with primary hyperparathyroidism.

The World Trade Center bombing: injury prevention strategies for high-rise building fires.

The WTC disaster provided an opportunity to look for ways to prevent morbidity among occupants of high-rise buildings during fires. This paper first describes the overall morbidity resulting from the explosion and fire, and second, presents the results of a case-control study carried out to identify risk factors for smoke-related morbidity. The main ones include: increased age, presence of a pre-existing cardio-pulmonary condition, entrapment in a lift and prolonged evacuation time. Study results point to the importance of the following safety systems during high-rise building fires: smoke-control systems with separate emergency power sources; lift-cars, lift-car position-monitoring systems, and lift-car communication systems with separate emergency power sources; two-way emergency communication systems on all floors and in stairwells; stairwells with emergency lighting and designed for the rapid egress of crowds; evacuation systems/equipment to assist in the evacuation of vulnerable people (elderly, infirm). Also important are evacuation plans that include regularly scheduled safety training and evacuation drills.

Arterial endothelial injury due to infection in childhood: ticking bomb or innocent bystander?

Atherosclerosis is regarded as a chronic disease that begins in early life. While the main underlying mechanism of atherosclerosis is nowadays unequivocally attributed to a low-grade inflammatory reaction, the spectrum of aetiological conditions is far from being fully elucidated. Both viruses and bacteria have been suggested to intervene at various stages of atherosclerosis development, although a clear pathogenic link between infection and atherosclerosis remains debatable. As one key event in atherogenesis involves a perturbation of the protective mechanisms normally posed by the arterial endothelium, a number of studies have enquired into the possible detrimental effects of microbes and their components on the endothelial cells. This review aims to scrutinize the current literature in this regard, and to suggest several possible directions for future studies.
