Iowa Department of Transportation Strategic Plan, January 2003 Through December 2006, June 2004

To provide safe and modern transportation systems and services to individuals who travel in Iowa, the Iowa Department of Transportation has identified three broad-based and far-reaching strategic goals: accessibility, responsiveness and accountability. These goals are outlined in this plan, which is aligned with the Accountable Government Act. In addition, the plan specifically addresses strategic needs to serve our customers, and to respond to trends of a growing population and the ever changing need to enhance and expand Iowa's transportation systems. This plan is a living document, and therefore, will be updated periodically.

Origin and outcome of multiple pregnancies in Bern, Switzerland, 1995-2006 and the current proposal of the Swiss parliament to revise the Swiss law of reproductive medicine: Switzerland quo vadis?

INTRODUCTION: Infertility treatments are a major source of the increase in multiple pregnancies (MPs). AIMS: The aims of the present study were (1.) to investigate the origin and maternal/neonatal outcomes of MP and (2.) to review the different measures that can be adopted to reduce these serious complications. METHODS: The study included all women with multiple births between 1 January 1995 and 31 December 2006 at the University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland. The outcomes associated with the various origins of MP (natural conception, ovarian stimulation [OS] ‒ in-vitro fertilisation [IVF-ICSI]) were analysed using a multinomial logistic regression model. An analysis of the Swiss law on reproductive medicine and its current proposed revision, as well as a literature review using Pubmed, was carried out. RESULTS: A total of 592 MP were registered, 91% (n = 537) resulted in live births. There was significantly more neonatal/maternal morbidity in MP after OS compared with natural conception and even with the IVF-ICSI group. With a policy of elective single embryo transfer (eSET), twin rates after IVF-ICSI can be reduced to <5% and triplets to <1%. CONCLUSIONS: After OS, more triplets are found and the outcome of MP is worse. MP is known to be associated with morbidity, mortality, and economic and social risks. To counteract these complications (1.) better training for physicians performing OS should be encouraged and (2.) the Swiss law on reproductive medicine needs to be changed, with the introduction of eSET policies. This would lead to a dramatic decrease in neonatal and maternal morbidity/mortality as well as significant cost reductions for the Swiss healthcare system.

Conseit aux fumeurs: mise à jour épidémiologique et clinique [Smoking cessation intervention: 2006 update]

Recent Swiss reports confirmed that several chemical products added to cigarettes may increase the level of dependence and therefore the consumption of cigarettes. Observational studies demonstrated the association between smoking and type II diabetes, that smoking one to four cigarettes daily increases significantly the risk of disease and that the relative risk of breast cancer among non smoking women exposed to passive smoking is increased by 30%. The safety of nicotine replacement therapy for patients with cardiovascular disorders has been confirmed. Among new pharmacological approaches, varenicline, rimonabant, topiramate and nicotine vaccine all appear promising.

Informe de Salud Laboral. España, 2006

El objetivo principal de este Informe de Salud Laboral, España 2006, esayudar a definir y evaluar las políticas en seguridad y salud en el trabajo ennuestro país. Para ello, con la mejor información disponible, se ha descrito elcontexto sociolaboral en el que se insertan las condiciones de trabajo, así comolos principales daños a la salud, fundamentalmente las lesiones, relacionadas conestas condiciones de trabajo.Entre sus resultados destaca que aunque las muertes por lesionestraumáticas por accidentes de trabajo producidas in itínere o en desplazamientodisminuyen entre 1994 y 2004, como también se observa en las que ocurren enlos centros de trabajo, esta disminución no es tan pronunciada. Asimismo, elriesgo de morir por un accidente de trabajo se concentra de manera particularen las Comunidades Autónomas del noroeste de España.
