Sepsis
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of prophylactic whole-body application of pure preservative-free topical petroleum jelly on the incidence of nosocomial sepsis in very low-birthweight (VLBW) infants. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Exposure to Contaminated Water
We aimed to (i) follow up on UNEP recommendations by investigating health symptoms associated with exposure to contaminated water; and (ii) assess the adequacy and utilization of the government-supplied emergency drinking water. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dyspnea
We describe a patient who presented with a history of unexplained exertional dyspnea and pulmonary infiltrates. She was evaluated for interstitial lung disease, presumed to be idiopathic and underwent an open lung biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Respiratory Distress
High-dose corticosteroid therapy appears to be a useful addition to aggressive supportive treatment in late adult respiratory distress syndrome following hydrocarbon ingestion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Nausea
Tremulousness and mild nausea followed the initial symptoms but were of brief duration. One individual manifested numerous premature ventricular contractions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Local hospitals reported many cases of headaches, nausea and dizziness and seventeen schools in the vicinity were closed for about a week. [web.archive.org]

Staphylococcus Aureus
PEE exhibited significant activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis with IC50 value of 87.2 1.6, 98.4 1.1 and 90.2 1.8 µg/ml, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
A summary treatment of crude oil follows. For full treatment, see petroleum, petroleum production, and petroleum refining. [britannica.com]
For the cancer risk, the total cancer risks were very high, ranging from 2.93 10 -3 (in the wastewater treatment area) to 1.1 10 -2 (in the basic chemical area), suggesting a definite risk. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
It is unique among human sarcomas in that it has an excellent prognosis. We describe a temporal clustering of a number of cases of CFS and investigate the possible associated prenatal risk factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On the eve of a visit to the region by President Barack Obama, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal issued a grim prognosis: "This oil spill threatens not only our wetlands and our fisheries, but also our way of life." [theage.com.au]
Etiology
Our patients are important cases due to the rare etiology of cold injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological studies in coke oven workers have shown increased risk for cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, but these studies are confounded by multiple industrial exposures, most notably to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Smaller, less catastrophic petroleum product releases are less likely to receive publicity, although study of these incidents might help focus and prioritize prevention efforts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
