This confounding agent of disease breaks many biological rules. Scientists cannot even say for certain whether viruses are living, nonliving or somewhere in between. Although most viral infections are not very serious, some of these tiny particles wreak destruction far beyond the common cold. Many diseases, major and minor, are caused by viral infections: measles, mumps, polio, hepatitis, rabies, certain pneumonias, some cancers and, of course, flu and SOme intestinal upsets. Viruses also are believed to trigger AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). And the genital herpes simplex virus has disrupted the personal lives of millions of people. /n addition, viruses may playa role in a number of diseases thought to have other causes diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Viruses are so elusive that the few available antiviral drugs combat only two or three viral diseases.At this point, there are more vaccines to prevent viral diseases than drugs to treat them. One of the most recent vaccines one for hepatitis B,a serious liver disease may become the first anticancer vaccine. The World Health Organization plans to test whether the vaccine will prevent a lethal form of liver cancer believed to be caused by hepatitis B. Some experts predict the vaccine will prevent as much as 95% of such cancer.","PeriodicalId":103070,"journal":{"name":"AAOHN journal : official journal of the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122712036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample included 148 individuals who developed poliomyelitis earlier in life. The findings are compared with the seminal studies of Halstead (1985a, 1985b). Seventy-two percent of the sample were experiencing post polio syndrome, defined as having progressive fatigue and one other symptom of sequelae to a moderate or severe degree. The mean age of the sample was 54. The majority of subjects had some college education, were married, belonged to support groups, and were employed. The mean age for contracting polio was 10.5, with a mean of 3.8 years to maximum recovery. At onset of the initial illness, 121 subjects were hospitalized. The period of stability from the point of maximum recovery to onset of sequelae had a mean of 29.8 years. Fatigue and muscle weakness at onset were predictive for developing sequelae. Subjects' lifestyle changes are reported. Implications focus on workplace issues. This study supports and extends the findings of the seminal works.","PeriodicalId":103070,"journal":{"name":"AAOHN journal : official journal of the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128286181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shiftworker's inability to adapt to shiftwork schedules can lead to a loss of physical and psychological well being, and can produce negative safety and performance consequences. 2. The factors that contribute to the intolerance of working shiftwork schedules are complex and interrelated and include host variables (i.e., circadian rhythms) and environmental variables (i.e., type of shifts worked). 3. The most direct and consistent effect of working shiftwork is the impairment of the quality and quantity of sleep. 4.
