Cold Stress at Work: Preventive Research

Cold stress at work: preventive research.

Safety at work in cold environments and prevention of cold stress.

The questions related to safety at work in cold environments and prevention of cold stress in working life are described in this article. Working in the cold environment is more dangerous than the same type of work in a warmer climate. All researchers have concluded that the frequency of accidents/versus temperature curves follow the U-shape with the minimum near 20 degrees C. The effects of lo...

Work-related stress at sea. Possibilities of research and measures of stress.

The present concept of stress is related with the necessity of triangulation in research. Triangulation means collecting evidence of stress from at least three sources: (a) precursors--perception and feeling (moderating factors), (b) direct consequences, (c) state of health. Is it possible to implement triangulation in the investigations of work-related stress at sea? In the present paper, poss...

Does preventive PCI work?

Treatments are designed to make people feel better or live longer. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective at reducing angina in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease and at reducing mortality in patients who have acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation and in those who have high-risk acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation. 1 Such successes...
