Cancer mortality in workers exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
Marilyn A. Fingerhut,William E. Halperin,David Marlow,Laurie A. Piacitelli,Patricia A. Honchar,Marie Haring Sweeney,A. L. Greife,Patricia A. Dill,Kyle Steenland,Anthony Suruda +9 more
TL;DR: This study of mortality among workers with occupational exposure to TCDD does not confirm the high relative risks reported for many cancers in previous studies, and conclusions about an increase in the risk of soft-tissue sarcoma are limited by small numbers and misclassification on death certificates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sentinel Health Events (occupational): a basis for physician recognition and public health surveillance.
David D. Rutstein,Robert J. Mullan,Todd M. Frazier,William E. Halperin,James M. Melius,John P. Sestito +5 more
TL;DR: A Sentinel Health Event(SHE) is a preventable disease, disability, oruntimely death whose occurrence serves as a warning signal that the quality of preventable and/or therapeutic medical care may need to be improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Work‐Relatedness of Self‐Reported Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Among U.S. Workers: Analysis of the Occupational Health Supplement Data of 1988 National Health Interview Survey
Shiro Tanaka,Deanna K. Wild,Paul J. Seligman,William E. Halperin,Virginia J. Behrens,Vern Putz-Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: The risk factor most strongly associated with medically called CTS was exposure to repetitive bending/twisting of the hands/wrists at work, followed by race, gender, age, and age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality Among a Cohort of U.S. Cadmium Production Workers—an Update
TL;DR: Mortality from respiratory cancer and from nonmalignant gastrointestinal disease was significantly greater among the cadmium workers than would have been expected from U.S. rates, and a statistically significant dose-response relationship was observed between lung cancer mortality and cumulative exposure to cad mium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total Serum Testosterone and Gonadotropins in Workers Exposed to Dioxin
Grace M. Egeland,Marie Haring Sweeney,Marilyn A. Fingerhut,Kathleen K. Wille,Teresa M. Schnorr,William E. Halperin +5 more
TL;DR: The results support the animal literature in which dioxin-related effects have been observed on the hypothalamic-pituitary-Leydig-cell axis and on testosterone synthesis and offer human evidence of alterations in male reproductive hormone levels associated with dioxIn exposure.
