The Committee which was established and entrusted by the Conference in 2002 to work on Recommendation No. 194 requested the Governing Body of the Inter- national Labour Office (ILO) to update the list of occupational diseases annexed to this Recommendation in accordance with the mechanism stipulated in Paragraph 3 of the Recommendation as a matter of priority. To this end, two Meetings of Experts were organized by the ILO, one in 2005 and one in 2009, which established a new list of occupational diseases. This new list was approved by the Governing Body at its 307th Session in March 2010. It replaces the one adopted in 2002 in the Annex to Recommendation No. 194 and can be referred to as the “List of occupational diseases (revised 2010)”. This list of occupational diseases is designed to assist countries in the prevention, recording, notification and, if applicable, compensation of diseases caused by work. The new list reflects the state-of-the-art development in the identification and recognition of occupational diseases. It includes a range of internationally recognized occupational diseases, from illnesses caused by chemical, physical and biological agents to respiratory and skin diseases, musculoskeletal disorders and occupational cancer. Mental and behavioural disorders have been, for the first time, specifically included in the ILO list. The list also has open items in all the sections dealing with the aforementioned diseases. The open items allow for the recognition of the occupational origin of diseases not specified in the list if a link is established between exposure to risk factors arising from work activities and the disorders contracted by the worker. The Governing Body requested the Office to promote the application of this new list of occupational diseases and to involve experts appointed by governments, employers and workers in preparation for future updating of the list on the basis of the criteria listed in the “Identification and recognition of occupational diseases: Criteria for incorporating diseases in the ILO list of occupational diseases”, a document prepared by the Secretariat to facilitate the work of the 2009 Meeting of Experts. The Governing Body also recom- mended that the document should be published. This publication is both a response of SafeWork to the recommendations of the 2009 Meeting of Experts and part of its efforts to promote the application of the new list of occupational diseases as requested by the Governing Body. It includes the newly established list of occupational diseases, the working document “Identification and recognition of occupational diseases: Criteria for incorporating diseases in the ILO list of occupational diseases”, and the reports of the two Meetings of Experts which devel- oped this list. v LIST OF OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES (REVISED 2010) Dr Shengli Niu, Senior Specialist on Occupational Health in SafeWork, carried out the Office’s technical work on the development of the new list of occupational diseases and prepared this publication. It is our hope that this publication will enable readers to understand the basis on which the list of occupational diseases was updated, as well as facilitate the application of the 2010 list.

  • Preventable Diseases Nick Wilson, Michael G Baker Abstract New Zealanders Can Now Reflect on and Celebrate 50 Years of Polio Elimination in This Country
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association Celebrating 50 years of polio elimination in New Zealand: but inadequate progress in eliminating other vaccine- preventable diseases Nick Wilson, Michael G Baker Abstract New Zealanders can now reflect on and celebrate 50 years of polio elimination in this country. This success was followed by eliminating two other infectious diseases, brucellosis and hydatids, and an imported potential disease vector, the southern saltmarsh mosquito. However, this country has made inadequate progress in eliminating several other vaccine-preventable diseases. These include measles, mumps, and rubella, which are priority candidates for elimination, and potentially Hib disease and rotavirus infection. To achieve such successes almost certainly requires that the country: (i) builds national leadership for elimination goals; (ii) develops detailed plans; (iii) continues recent successes in enhancing routine vaccination coverage; (iv) introduces rotavirus vaccine into the childhood immunisation schedule; and (v) strengthens surveillance and research (on such questions as the cost-effectiveness of new vaccines, measures to enhance uptake, and effective border controls to reduce the risk of disease importation). For 50 years now (since 1 April 1962), New Zealand has been free of transmission of wild-type polio virus infection. The end of this disease was particularly sudden with cases declining from 214 notifications in an outbreak in 1961 (with seven deaths) to only five cases in early 1962. 1 The end coincided with mass immunisation campaigns with the new Sabin (oral) vaccine in 1961 and 1962. The coverage in the vaccination campaign running from April to June 1962 was approximately 95% of the child population up to school leaving age.

  • Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosiswith Hemophilia B
    Vol. 17, No ?. UDC 616.311.2:616.151.5 CODEN: ASCRBK 1983 YU ISSN: 0001—7019 Original paper Hereditary gingival fibromatosis with hemophilia B Ilija Škrinjarić, Miljenko Bačić and Zvonko Poje Department of Children’s and Preventive Dentistry, Department of Periodontology and Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Zagreb Received, February 7, 1983 Summary This work presents a case report of a generalized form of hereditary gin­ gival fibromatosis with hemophilia B as an accompanying disease. In the family of proband, consisting of 28 members, fibromatosis was present in 9 (4 males and 5 females). The pedigree analysis confirmed that gingival fibro­ matosis was transmited through three generations as an autosomal dominant trait. Neither proband, nor any other family member, showed other abnorma­ lities. Blood coagulation tests reveald hemophilia B (Christmas disease) in the proband. The coagulogram showed prolonged kaolin cephalin time (50 se­ conds) and low concentration of factor IX (F IX 18%). The case report sug­ gests that hemophilia B should be included in the list of diseases associated with gingival fibromatosis. Key words: gingival fibromatosis, hemophilia B Hereditary gingival fibromatosis manifests as an isolated trait, accompanied by other abnormalities or disease, or as a symptom of a specific syndrome. The most common clinical abnormalities associated with gingival fibromatosis are hypertrichosis, epilepsy, mental retardation, and defects of the eye, ear, nose, skeleton and nails (Fletcher1, Gorlin et a I.2, Jorgenson and Cocker3). Isolated gingival fibromatosis without other abnormalities is considered a special entity which differs from the fibromatosis accompanied by hypertrichosis, epilepsy or mental retardation (Cohen4).

  • Fusion of Multiple Heterogeneous Networks for Predicting Circrna
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fusion of multiple heterogeneous networks for predicting circRNA- disease associations Received: 22 January 2019 Lei Deng1, Wei Zhang1, Yechuan Shi1 & Yongjun Tang2 Accepted: 18 June 2019 Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a newly identifed type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) that plays crucial roles Published: xx xx xxxx in many cellular processes and human diseases, and are potential disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets in human diseases. However, experimentally verifed circRNA-disease associations are very rare. Hence, developing an accurate and efcient method to predict the association between circRNA and disease may be benefcial to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Here, we propose a computational method named KATZCPDA, which is based on the KATZ method and the integrations among circRNAs, proteins, and diseases to predict circRNA-disease associations. KATZCPDA not only verifes existing circRNA-disease associations but also predicts unknown associations. As demonstrated by leave-one-out and 10-fold cross-validation, KATZCPDA achieves AUC values of 0.959 and 0.958, respectively. The performance of KATZCPDA was substantially higher than those of previously developed network-based methods. To further demonstrate the efectiveness of KATZCPDA, we apply KATZCPDA to predict the associated circRNAs of Colorectal cancer, glioma, breast cancer, and Tuberculosis. The results illustrated that the predicted circRNA-disease associations could rank the top 10 of the experimentally verifed associations. Circular RNA (circRNA) is a class of non-coding RNA recently discovered. Unlike linear RNA, circRNA forms a continuous cycle of covalent closures and is highly represented in the eukaryotic transcriptome. Previous research has found thousands of prototype circRNAs in human, mouse and nematode cells1–4.
