Review of the First Year of an Overseas Military Gambling Treatment Program
2005
Military medicine
This study provides descriptive information and preliminary first-year outcome data on the only overseas military gambling treatment option currently available. Implemented in January 2003 within the Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program, U.S. Naval Hospital, Okinawa, Japan, gambling treatment was developed as a specific track within the overall substance abuse program. The present study explores the various considerations and requirements for setting up such a program, as well as a

... of individuals seeking gambling treatment and preliminary outcome data. Participants consisted of all gambling referrals (N ϭ 35, 26 males; mean age, 33.2 years; SD ϭ 8.93) obtained over the first year that gambling services were offered. A significant degree of depression, suicidality, and substance abuse problems were observed in the sample. Results revealed that the gambling program was easily implemented within an established substance abuse program. The program was effective in preventing suicides in both military members and eligible beneficiaries and was effective in facilitating the retention of military members with gambling problems.

Development of a model for the representation of nanotechnology-specific terminology
2006
AMIA Annual Symposium Proceedings
Nanotechnology is an important, rapidly-evolving, multidisciplinary field. The tremendous growth in this area necessitates the establishment of a common, open-source terminology to support the diverse biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Currently, the consensus process to define and categorize conceptual entities pertaining to nanotechnology is in a rudimentary stage. We have constructed a nanotechnology-specific conceptual hierarchy that can be utilized by end users to retrieve

Evaluation of Management Alternatives for Truck Wash Water Generated During Winter Maintenance Activities
2014
Public Works Management & Policy
As part of routine winter maintenance activities, salt trucks are washed frequently at the Ohio Department of Transportation's (ODOT) 88 county and 136 outpost garages during the winter months. In locations where sanitary sewer is available, truck wash water is treated with an oil/water separator and discharged directly to the sanitary sewer system. However, at facilities that do not have access to sanitary sewer, truck wash water must be collected and managed, often at a significant cost. The

... urrent ODOT policy for truck wash water management, tying these facilities into the sanitary sewer system, has a high capital cost, and is not always possible. The purpose of this research was to identify alternative strategies for managing wash water generated during routine washing of salt trucks at ODOT maintenance facilities lacking access to sanitary sewer, assess their costs, and compare the cost of alternative management strategies with the cost of tying into the sanitary sewer system. Six viable wash water management strategies were identified and the annualized costs of each option were calculated for individual maintenance facilities. The cost analysis indicated that site specific conditions, including the volume of wash water generated, the distance to the potential disposal locations, and the capital cost of tying into the sanitary sewer, directly impact the cost effectiveness of alternative management strategies. Under the conditions of the cost analysis, pursuing off-site disposal, rather than tying into the sanitary sewer, could yield an annual cost savings of approximately $1.1 million across ODOT's 12 county and 66 outpost garages lacking access to sanitary sewer. The analysis iv also showed that, for a typical county garage with 12 trucks and 30 winter events, when the capital cost of tying into the sanitary sewer is greater than $300,000, four of the five management alternatives identified are more cost effective than tying into the sanitary sewer.
Breast cancer risk and drinking water contaminated by wastewater: a case control study
2006
Environmental Health
Drinking water contaminated by wastewater is a potential source of exposure to mammary carcinogens and endocrine disrupting compounds from commercial products and excreted natural and pharmaceutical hormones. These contaminants are hypothesized to increase breast cancer risk. Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has a history of wastewater contamination in many, but not all, of its public water supplies; and the region has a history of higher breast cancer incidence that is unexplained by the population's

... ge, in-migration, mammography use, or established breast cancer risk factors. We conducted a case-control study to investigate whether exposure to drinking water contaminated by wastewater increases the risk of breast cancer. Methods: Participants were 824 Cape Cod women diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988-1995 and 745 controls who lived in homes served by public drinking water supplies and never lived in a home served by a Cape Cod private well. We assessed each woman's exposure yearly since 1972 at each of her Cape Cod addresses, using nitrate nitrogen (nitrate-N) levels measured in public wells and pumping volumes for the wells. Nitrate-N is an established wastewater indicator in the region. As an alternative drinking water quality indicator, we calculated the fraction of recharge zones in residential, commercial, and pesticide land use areas. Results: After controlling for established breast cancer risk factors, mammography, and length of residence on Cape Cod, results showed no consistent association between breast cancer and average annual nitrate-N (OR = 1.8; 95% CI 0.6 -5.0 for ≥ 1.2 vs. < .3 mg/L), the sum of annual nitrate-N concentrations (OR = 0.9; 95% CI 0.6 -1.5 for ≥ 10 vs. 1 to < 10 mg/L), or the number of years exposed to nitrate-N over 1 mg/L (OR = 0.9; 95% CI 0.5 -1.5 for ≥ 8 vs. 0 years). Variation in exposure levels was limited, with 99% of women receiving some of their water from supplies with nitrate-N levels in excess of background. The total fraction of residential, commercial, and pesticide use land in recharge zones of public supply wells was associated with a small statistically unstable higher breast cancer incidence (OR = 1.4; 95% CI 0.8-2.4 for highest compared with lowest land use), but risk did not increase for increasing land use fractions. Conclusion: Results did not provide evidence of an association between breast cancer and drinking water contaminated by wastewater. The computer mapping methods used in this study to link routine measurements required by the Safe Drinking Water Act with interview data can enhance individual-level epidemiologic studies of multiple health outcomes, including diseases with substantial latency.
Self-Assessment of Acute Mountain Sickness in Adolescents: A Pilot Study☆
2004
Wilderness & environmental medicine (Print)
Objective.-To perform a pilot study exploring the prevalence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) in adolescents on ascent to altitude and evaluating whether this age group is capable of self-assessment of AMS using the Lake Louise scoring system. Methods.-Twelve teenagers aged 15 to 18 years old (5 girls) traveled for 21 days between 2400 and 5500 m. Each member of the expedition completed a Lake Louise self-assessment questionnaire on a daily basis. Group leaders (nonmedical) were informed about

... ny subject with a score of 3 or more. Appropriate treatments were then initiated. Detailed analysis of data was undertaken on return to the UK. Results.-There was 100% completion of 252 questionnaires. Eleven of the 12 subjects (91.7%) had symptom scores greater than or equal to 3, consistent with a diagnosis of AMS, on at least one day (range, 0-8). Symptoms of AMS were more common in the female group members (P ϭ .041). Conclusions.-AMS seems to be a common problem among adolescents. There are increasing numbers of adolescents traveling to high altitudes, and there seems to be a lack of information about the prevalence of AMS in this age group. Motivated adolescents seemed capable of self-monitoring for AMS using the Lake Louise questionnaire. Combined with an appropriate ascent profile and support, we feel this approach may contribute to safety in the mountains and merits further study.
