While some areas are increasingly struggling with human rights and economic concerns, the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) are poised for unparalleled economic growth. In emerging economies, an increased standard of living clearly signals the potential for breaking the poor health and poverty cycle, allowing better options for global community health.

More recently, associations with mortality in infants and with some reproductive outcomes have also been reported. The aim of this study is to explore the association between exposure to outdoor air pollution during pregnancy and birth weight. Design: Cross sectional study using data on all singleton full term live births during a one year period.

At the time, the perception was that reproduction related only to women. The sociological framework involved acceptance that men were vulnerable. Divided by principles, meetings raged about overprotection of women without considering hazards to men. The tandem relationship proved important—to push reproductive safety for both sexes.

Given their widespread use, reliability of tests merits careful attention. We assessed interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of median and ulnar sensory nerve measures of amplitude, onset latency, and peak latency. In a two-phase cross-sectional study, two examiners tested 158 workers. Reliability was assessed with intraclass correlations (ICC) and kappa statistics. Median nerve measures were more reliable (ICC range, 0.76 to 0.92) than ulnar measures (ICC range, 0.22 to 0.85). Ulnar-onset latencies had the worst reliability. The median-ulnar peak latency difference was a particularly stable measure (ICC range, 0.79 to 0.92). The median-ulnar peak latency difference had high interexaminer reliability (κ range, 0.71 to 0.79) for normal tests defined by cut points of 0.8 ms and 0.5 ms. Intraexaminer reliability was higher with the 0.8-ms cut point (κ = 0.90 and κ = 0.85 for examiners 1 and 2, respectively). Rather than absolute cut points to describe normality, a more rational interpretation of results can be made with ordered categories or continuous measures. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
