BMC Public Health | Abstract | Infant Mortality in Brazil, 1980-2000: A spatial panel data analysis
biomedcentral.com — “Infant mortality is an important measure of human development, related to the level of welfare of a society. In order to inform public policy, various studies have tried to identify the factors that influence, at an aggregated level, infant mortality. The objective of this paper is to analyze the regional pattern of infant mortality in Brazil, evaluating the effect of infrastructure, socio-economic, and demographic variables to understand its distribution across the country.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

Improved stepladder design may decrease injuries
sciencedaily.com — “Stepladders, a household product used by thousands of people every day, are a surprisingly common cause of injury. In 2009, more than 187,000 Americans visited the hospital after sustaining stepladder injuries, many of which resulted from a fall. A recent human factors/ergonomics study explores how improved design and user behavior can decrease the likelihood of future accidents.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

HandShoe Mouse | Shop Ergonomic Mice
thehumansolution.com — “HandShoe Mouse | Shop Ergonomic Mice - The Handshoe Mouse was recommended as the #1 ergonomic mouse choice at the 2010 Ergo Expo by Alan Hedge, Director of Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory at Cornell University. An important way to reduce repetitive stress from mousing is to reduce forearm pronation (inward twisting) caused by traditional mice. The HandShoe Mouse accomplishes this by placing your hand at a more neutral angle. This ergonomic mouse's recessed thumb rest places the thumb in ” View full resource at thehumansolution.com

New approach to defeating flu shows promise
eurekalert.org — “New research on mice has shown that pulmonary administration of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) significantly reduces flu symptoms and prevents death after a lethal dose influenza virus. While GM-SCF therapy for humans as a flu prophylaxis or treatment may be years away, the study results were striking: All of the mice treated with GM-SCF survived after being infected with the influenza virus, whereas untreated mice all died from the same infection.” View full resource at eurekalert.org
