TL;DR: Despite following recommended safe-handling practices, workplace contamination with antineoplastic drugs in pharmacy and nursing areas continues at these locations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Medical surveillance of a group of U.S. Gulf War veterans who were victims of depleted uranium (DU) “friendly fire” reveals a persistent elevation of urine uranium, more than 10 yr after exposure, in those veterans with retained shrapnel fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome 5 and 7 abnormalities in oncology personnel handling anticancer drugs.
TL;DR: Biologically important exposure to genotoxic drugs is apparently occurring in oncology work settings despite reported use of safety practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male and Female Rate Differences in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Injuries: Personal Attributes or Job Tasks?
TL;DR: It is argued here that men and women doing the same work tasks will have similar rates of carpal tunnel syndrome, and that an equal risk between genders exists when the occupational tasks (exposure) are truly similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance of depleted uranium exposed Gulf War veterans: health effects observed in an enlarged "friendly fire" cohort.
Melissa A. McDiarmid,Katherine Squibb,Susan M. Engelhardt,Marc Oliver,Patricia Gucer,P. David Wilson,Robert L. Kane,Michael Kabat,Bruce Kaup,Larry D. Anderson,Dennis Hoover,Lawrence Brown,David Jacobson-Kram +12 more
TL;DR: Observed health effects were related to subtle but biologically plausible perturbations in central nervous system function and a general measure of mutagen exposure, related to uranium’s chemical rather than radiologic toxicity.
