The effect of occupational exposure to welding fumes on trachea, bronchus and lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis from the WHO/ILO Joint Estimates of the Work-related Burden of Disease and Injury
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, for incidence and mortality of trachea, bronchus, and lung cancer, we judged the existing body of evidence for human data as "sufficient evidence of harmfulness" and "limited evidence of harmfulness", respectively. Occupational exposure to welding fumes increased the risk of acquiring and dying from trachea, bronchus, and lung cancer. Producing estimates for the burden of trachea, bronchus, and lung cancer attributable to any (or high) occupational exposure to welding fumes appears evidence-based, and the pooled effect estimates presented in this systematic review could be used as input data for the W...

In silico mining of putative microsatellite markers from whole genome sequence of water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) and development of first BuffSatDB
Conclusion:
Being first buffalo STR database in the world , this would not only pave the way in resolving current assembly problem but shall be of immense use for global community in QTL/gene mapping critically required to increase knowledge in the endeavour to increase buffalo productivity, especially for third world country where rural economy is significantly dependent on buffalo productivity.

Relation Between Aerobic Capacity and Walking Ability in Older Adults With a Lower-Limb Amputation
Conclusions: Current findings corroborate the notion that, especially in people with a vascular amputation, the peak aerobic capacity is an important determinant for walking ability. The data provide quantitative predictions on the effect of aerobic training; however, future research is needed to experimentally confirm these predictions.

Through a Glass Darkly - How Can So Many Health Care Executives Be Visionaries?
Visionary (noun) 1: one whose ideas or projects are impractical : dreamer 2: one who sees visions : seer 3: one having unusual foresight and imagination Merriam-Webster Dictionary online The Visionary, or Messianic Health Care Executive In 1997, Sherif Abdelhak, the CEO of the then unusually large vertically integrated health care system based in Pennsylvania, the Allegheny Health Education and Research Foundation (AHERF) was described in an American College of Physicians publication as a "visionary." (See the summary beginning on p 5 here.) Abdelhak had previously been called a "vis...

Community Disaster Resilience: a Systematic Review on Assessment Models and Tools
Conclusions
Present study showed that there are at least five defined and measurable domains for community disaster resilience including social, economic, institutional, physical, and natural. While community disaster resilience is a culture bound concept and also related to the kind of hazards any attempt for assessment should be based on both location and hazard.This study showed that the community disaster indicators differ from a community to another one. So, it seems that the first step for community disaster resilience is determining community resilience indicators.
The disparity between the articles using the resili...

The Man Behind Google Brain On Life, Creativity, And Failure
(Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty)
Here's a list of universities with arguably the greatest computer science programs: Carnegie Mellon, MIT, UC Berkeley, and Stanford. These are the same places, respectively, where Andrew Ng received his bachelor's degree, his master's, his Ph.D., and has taught for 12 years.
Ng is an icon of the artificial intelligence world with the pedigree to match, and he is not yet 40 years old. In 2011, he founded Google Brain, a deep-learning research project supercharged by Google's vast stores of computing power and data. Delightfully, one of its most important achievements came when computers ana...

A Comparative Analysis of Disaster Risk, Vulnerability and Resilience Composite Indicators
This study has found that these calls have been largely unheeded. Despite the large increase in number of disaster risk, resilience and vulnerability composite indicators being developed, there has not been an increase in the use of sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Few methodologies are undertaking explicit sensitivity and uncertainty analyses and where it is undertaken it is typically limited to one or two aspects of the methodology. This makes it difficult to assess quality, especially when many choices in index construction appear to have been made arbitrarily or with limited justification. Some sensitivity analyse...

How to Preserve Cultural Memory in the Digital Age
Humans are a fortunate species. We are not the strongest or fastest. We don't have the biggest brains or live the longest. Yet we are dominant over the planet. From cuneiform to computer chip, our memory technologies give us a unique survival advantage: knowledge. But that knowledge is not secure in the digital age.
We're moving from an information economy of relative scarcity to one of abundance. And we have yet to build an infrastructure that can manage titanic masses of data at scale. The high cost of publishing books and making films forced us to ask what we can afford to save. But anyone with an internet connection ...

John Stossel Discovers Health Care Dysfunction, Blames it on " Socialists " - Like Maurice Greenberg (AIG), John Thain (Merrill Lynch), Sanford Weill (Citigroup), and David H Koch?
In conclusion, I am glad that some of the problems in the dysfunctional US health care system are getting more public attention. However, now we need to calmly and rationally consider what is causing them and what to do about them without the blinders of ideology or vested interests. IMHO, true US health care reform would put the operation of US health care organizations more in the hands of people who have knowledge and experience in health care, and are willing to be accountable to support health care professionals ' values. Furthermore, oversight and stewardship of these organizations should repres...

DeviceTalks Q & A: Verb Surgical CEO Scott Huennekens
Few CEOs have been given the mandate Scott Huennekens was charged with as employee No. 1 at Verb Surgical, the robotics spinout backed by Google (NSDQ:GOOG) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ): Go forth and change the world.
“Don’t worry about capital, don’t worry about funding,” Huennekens told MassDevice.com publisher Brian Johnson recently. “Just go out and change the world.”
Many CEOs might find that daunting. Then again, most CEOs don’t have a $400 million war chest and the backing of 2 of the world’s most innovative companies. And, as you’ll find out in this interview, Huennekens may not be ...

Effects of Neonicotinoid Pesticide Exposure on Human Health: A Systematic Review
Conclusions: The studies conducted to date were limited in number with suggestive but methodologically weak findings related to chronic exposure. Given the wide-scale use of neonics, more studies are needed to fully understand their effects on human health.

The Effect of Self-Efficacy on Return-to-Work Outcomes for Workers with Psychological or Upper-Body Musculoskeletal Injuries: A Review of the Literature
Conclusions Higher self-efficacy had consistent positive associations with RTW outcomes. Further empirical research should identify the determinants of self-efficacy, and explore the processes by which higher self-efficacy improves RTW outcomes.

Medtech Employers Need to Keep Pace with Job Market
The medical device and diagnostics industry is a smart place to build a career. Professionals working in the field say they enjoy the work for the chance to pioneer new medical advances, to solve challenges, and to make a positive impact for patients.

Precarious employment and occupational injuries in the digital age ‒ where should we go from here?
This study investigated how working as a subcontractor (versus a contractor) and length of employment c ontract were associated with risk of work-related injury in a cohort of 9000 construction workers employed on a high-speed train construction site in Italy. The shorter the length of a worker’s employment contract, the higher the risk of injury: the RR was over twice as high for those with a 6-mon th contract (as compared with a 2-year contract), 1.7 times higher for 1-year contract, and 1.5 times higher for 1.5-year contract. The associations were strong and CI narrow and there also appeared to be a strong dose‒resp...
