Dynamic thiol disulphide homeostasis in operating theater personnel exposed to anesthetic gases
ConclusionDynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis in workers exposed to anesthetic gases was found to be disturbed after adjusting for the possible contribution of anxiety. We infer that this is due to the oxidative effect of exposure to anesthetic gases. (Source: American Journal of Industrial Medicine)

Work ‐related mortality in the US fishing industry during 2000‐2014: New findings based on improved workforce exposure estimates
ConclusionsAlthough the number of fatalities among commercial fishermen in the United States has generally declined since 2000, commercial fishing continues to have one of the highest occupational fatality rates in the United States. The sustainable seafood movement could assist in improving the health and safety of fishing industry workers if worker well‐being was integrated into the definition of sustainable seafood.

Mortality in asbestos cement workers in Pavia, Italy: A cohort study
ConclusionsThe results of this study are generally consistent with present knowledge. Conversely, our results do not support the hypothesis that pleural malignant mesothelioma risk indefinitely increases after exposure, suggesting instead that the alternative hypothesis of a risk plateau or decrease after a time since first exposure of more than 40 years is more consistent with the observed data.

Data processing and case identification in an agricultural and logging morbidity surveillance study: Trends over time
ConclusionsThese estimates are consistent with other recent estimates. This system is limited to traumatic injury for which medical treatment is administered, and is limited by the accuracy of coding and spelling. This system has the potential to be both sustainable and low cost. (Source: American Journal of Industrial Medicine)
