Abstract Background There is very little genetically informative research identifying true environmental risks for psychiatric conditions. These may be best explored in regions with diverse environmental exposures. The current study aimed to explore similarities and differences in such risks contributing to depression and fatigue. Methods Home interviews assessed depression (lifetime-ever), fatigue and environmental exposures in 4,024 randomly selected twins from a population-based register in the Colombo district of Sri Lanka. Results Early school leaving and standard of living showed environmentally-mediated effects on depression, in men. In women, life events were associated with depression partly through genetic pathways (however, the temporal order is consistent with life events being an outcome of depression, as well as the other way around). For fatigue, there were environmentally mediated effects (through early school leaving and life events) and strong suggestions of family-environmental influences. Conclusions Compared to previous studies from higher-income countries, novel environmentally-mediated risk factors for depression and fatigue were identified in Sri Lanka. But as seen elsewhere, the association between life events and depression was partially genetically mediated in women. These results have implications for understanding environmental mechanisms around the world.

Toluene diisocyanate -- Health aspects ,Environmental issues ,Health ,Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries - Abstract
Case Report: An accidental exposure due to reuse of containers of toluene diisocyanate to transport nontoxic substances and subsequent occupational toxic exposure caused illness among forty workers in a glove manufacturing plant. Examination and investigation of the patients and factory site inspection were carried out. Toluene diisocyanate-contaminated latex was examined by the infrared spectroscopy. Thirty-two of forty patients had muscle pain and seven had elevated creatine phosphokinase activity. These features have not been reported previously as components of toluene diisocyanate toxicity and their underlying causation remains speculative., INTRODUCTION Accidental poisoning due to inappropriate storage and transport of toxic substances have been reported from developing countries including Sri Lanka. [1]The reuse of containers of toxic substances to store [...]

Abstract Background The Sri Lankan twin registry is one of the first to be established in a developing country, and its design has ensured sampling from a wide range of environmental conditions. It thus has great potential to examine environmental and genetic influences on diverse phenotypes, including psychiatric disorders, in the context of a diversity of environmental exposures, which may not have been fully explored in previous twin studies in developed countries. This paper presents the rationale for the study, describes its context, and the methods for twin ascertainment and data collection. Methods A population-based twin register was established in the Colombo district of Sri Lanka using infrastructure designed to periodically update the electoral register. We invited a subsample from this register to participate in the project on common mental disorders, using random ascertainment. A separate non-twin sample was randomly selected from the geographical areas where twins were found. Home interviewers collected diagnostic information on common mental disorders, as well as environmental exposures including life events, socio-economic conditions, and the impact of the civil war and the Tsunami of 2004. Results We identified 19,302 individuals in the creation of the population based twin register. We randomly selected a subsample, of whom 4,387 were eligible to participate and 4,024 agreed to be interviewed (including data on 1,954 complete pairs of twins and 5 sets of triplets). Those who refused consent had a similar mean age and sex ratio to those who were interviewed. We invited 2,485 singletons to participate and 2,019 were interviewed. Conclusion Initial exploration of the data suggests the samples are very representative of the Colombo district of Sri Lanka, so we have created a unique resource for understanding the influences on mental disorders in developing countries, and to compare to the influences found in developed countries.

- Abstract
Measurement of HbA1c levels in diabetic patients is an established procedure for evaluating long-term control of diabetes. Despite its usefulness, conditions that effect hemoglobin concentration, such as hemoglobinopathies give rise to inappropriate HbA1c values. Since information about hemoglobinopathies in the diabetic population in Sri Lanka is limited, a prospective cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,695 diabetic subjects attending the diabetic clinic at Nawaloka Hospital, Sri Lanka. Hemoglobin type and HbA1c were measured by the HPLC method. The results reveal among 2,695 diabetic subjects, 53 (2%) had abnormal hemoglobin types (HbF and HbS). HbA1c concentrations in diabetic patients without Hb abnormalities show a higher correlation with fasting blood glucose than those with hemoglobin abnormalities. This study emphasizes that patients with inappropriate HbA1c values should be investigated for hemoglobinopathies.

- Abstract
The National Twin Registry of Sri Lanka was established in 1997 as a volunteer register. To extend it to a population-based register, we examined the effectiveness of tracing older twins by inspecting birth records and recruiting them by postal invitation and in-person contact. Birth records at a divisional secretariat reported from 2 maternity hospitals between the years of 1954-1970 were scrutinised to identify a random sample of twins. These hospitals had the highest twin delivery rates for the whole country. We identified 620 twins and a questionnaire was mailed to them. Research assistants visited a cohort of non-respondents (71) in the postal survey. These 620 twins were identified after perusing 20700 birth records. The twinning rate was estimated at 29.95 ([620/20700] x 1000) twins per 1000 registered births (CI 27.63-32.27). In the postal survey, 37 (12%) responded and 62 letters were returned (20%). Both twins were still alive in 20 pairs, one was still alive in 15 pairs, and both twins were dead in 2 pairs. During field visits, 42 (59.2%) addresses were located. Information was available on 16 twin pairs. Both twins were alive in 8 pairs, one each in 4 pairs, and both were dead in 4 pairs and at least one twin was traced in 10 pairs (14%). Both the postal and the field survey gave a low yield. This finding is different from tracing younger twins born between 1985-1997 by using the same methods. Migration, urbanization and development in the country might have affected tracing older twins from the birth record addresses, which were decades old.
