Trichinosis: common source outbreak related to commercial pork.

Fifteen patients had trichinosis after eating raw or undercooked commercial pork sausage produced by a local processing plant. Even though it is recommended that all fresh pork be cooked to a temperature of at least 171 degrees F (77 degrees C) to ensure a sufficient margin of safety, this is not always done, and sporadic outbreaks continue to occur. Control strategies to prevent human trichinosis should include trichinosis surveillance of all commercial swine, as well as strict compliance with current regulations.

Dynamic and static lifting capacity and muscular strength of steelmill workers.

Dynamic and static strength measurements were compared respectively to maximal actual lifting and to a static lifting strength of 228 male steelmill workers. The strength tests were reasonably correlated with the lifting measurements. The dynamic strength test was the simplest, the least time consuming, revealing one to one ratio with the maximal actual lift and was not perceived as an exerting maneuver. Therefore, when matching between the job and a worker is desirable, it is suggested to use the dynamic strength test as a predictor for lifting capacity.
