An outbreak of food-poisoning caused by Campylobacter jejuni occured in Omachi city, Nagano prefecture during November and December, 1981. The symptoms common to the 462 patients were abdominal pain (87.2%), diarrhoea (53.9%), fever (42.6%), nausea (28.6%), headache (9.5%) and vomiting (5.6%). Positive rate of isolation of Campylobacter jejuni from the stools of patients in acute stage and convalescent stage was 36.7%, Sera from 6 patients showed elevated agglutinin liters, ranging from 1 : 40 to 1 : 160, against the formalinized antigens of the isolates. Contamination of a lunch served in the school in November 25th was presumed to be the cause of the outbreak. This was the first report on the outbreak of food-poisoning by this microorganism in Nagano prefecture.

Air pollution and lost work
1984
Hausman, Jerry
A Poisson specification of the relationship between atmospheric pollution and lost work days is estimated. An important feature of the procedure is control for city-specific effects. A major source of ambiguity in interpreting the results of observational data on pollution versus health status or death rates is that pollution in a city may be correlated with other characteristics ofthat city that affect these outcomes but are not controlled for in the analysis. Or, individual attributes of residents may be correlated with pollution levels but notaccounted for in the analysis. Our results suggest a statistically significantand quantitatively important effect of total suspended particulates on work days lost. A standard deviation increase in total suspended particulates is associated with approximately a ten percent increase in work days lost. As a concomitant of our analysis, we also find a substantial relationship between smoking by others in the individual's household and work days lost by non-smokers.
