Abstract

Radiological environmental impact assessment models are important tools to ensure protection of the public and the environment. The IAEA has an ongoing programme to improve capabilities in this area by model testing and comparison, reaching consensus on modelling philosophies, approaches and parameter values. This publication describes and summarizes the findings of Working Group 9 carried out during the IAEA EMRAS II (Environmental Modelling for Radiation Safety) programme. The results presented draw on international model validation exercises conducted to test and improve the predictive ability of models used for the assessment of radioactive contamination in urban settings, including dispersion and deposition events, short and long term contaminant redistribution following deposition events, and the effectiveness of potential countermeasures (protective actions, including remedial actions) for reducing human exposures.

Abstract

Background Varicose veins (VV) is a chronic venous disease that affects the lower extremities.   It is the dilation of subcutaneous veins, three to four millimeters in diameter. VV can be attributed to several risk factors such as age, obesity, multiple parities, heavy lifting, and long-standing hours. Direct and indirect complications can occur due to VV. Several studies were conducted to estimate the prevalence of VV. Methods A self-administered questionnaire was used to estimate the prevalence of VV among nurses from different departments in the National Guard Health Affairs (NGHA), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire included questions on weight, height, work history, lifestyle, and multiple diseases. The chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used for testing the association between the various predictors and the diagnosis of VV. Results A total of 366 nurses participated in the study. There were 40 (39 females and one male) cases of VV accounting for 11.0%. Variables that have a statistically significant association with VV were social status and lifting heavy objects (p=0.02), a family history of VV (p-value=<0.001), and the number of childbirths (p=0.04). The observation of each department was not statistically significant with VV (p=0.35). Conclusion Among nurses, positive family history, age, marital status, long-standing hours, and heavy object lifting were significant risk factors for the development of VV. However, the prevalence of VV in the four departments was low., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright © 2020, AlBader et al.)
