Risk of
Venous Thromboembolism after Air Travel: Interaction with Thrombophilia and
Oral Contraceptives (4/30/04)
http://www.cdc.gov/genomics/hugenet/ejournal/VTE.htm
A case-control study was conducted to establish whether air travel is a
risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), and to investigate the
interaction between air travel and thrombophilia. They also evaluated the
interaction between air travel and oral contraceptive use (a common and
independent risk factor for VTE). In general, the interaction between air
travel, thrombophilia, and oral contraceptive use in determining VTE is
significant. More research must be conducted to assess interaction among
thrombophilia, oral contraceptive use, and VTE.

Planning a Cruise? Check Here First!
http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/vsp/
All passenger cruise ships arriving at U.S. ports are subject to unannounced
inspection under the voluntary inspection program. The purpose of these
inspections is to achieve levels of sanitation that will minimize the
potential for gastrointestinal disease outbreaks on these ships. Ships are
rated on the following items to determine if they meet CDC sanitation
standards: water, food preparation and holding, potential contamination of
food and general cleanliness, storage, and repair.
