Spiral pendant - Catalog No. 39
No full textThis spiral pendant is part of a hoard that was found in 1847 by a cowherd after heavy rain exposed the objects, which were lying on the surface of the ground. The original assemblage consisted of several kilograms of gold, but because the collection was looted, many objects ended up in private collections. A significant part, however, was confiscated by the Treasury of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Currently, the remaining objects are divided between the Hungarian National Museum and the National History Museum of Romania. The collection is reunited here for the first time. The hoard is believed to have been an ornament set worn and deposited by the local elite.

Thyroid cancer and pesticide use in a Central California agricultural area: a case control study
No full textABSTRACT: Few studies have examined the environmental factors that influence risk of thyroid cancer. We performed a case-control study utilizing thyroid cancer cases from the California Cancer Registry (1999-2012) and controls sampled in a population-based manner. Study participants resided in one of three central California agricultural counties and were included if they were diagnosed with thyroid cancer, lived in the study area at their time of diagnosis, and were ≥35 years of age. Controls were recruited from the same area and eligible to participate if they were ≥35 years of age and had been living in California for at least 5 years prior to the interview. We examined residential exposure to 29 agricultural use pesticides, known to cause DNA damage in vitro or are known endocrine disruptors. We employed a validated GIS-based system which combines California state mandated pesticide use reporting data, land-use surveys, and geocoded residential addresses to generate exposure estimates for each participant. Our sample included 2067 cases and 1003 controls. In single pollutant models and within a 20-year exposure period, 10 out of 29 selected pesticides were associated with thyroid cancer, including several of the most applied pesticides in the USA such as paraquat dichloride (OR: 1.46, CI: 1.23-1.73), glyphosate (OR: 1.33, CI: 1.12-1.58) and oxyfluorfen (OR: 1.21, CI: 1.02-1.43). Risk of thyroid cancer increased proportionately to the total number of pesticides subjects were exposed to 20 years before diagnosis or interview. In all models, paraquat dichloride was consistently associated with thyroid cancer. Our study provides first evidence in support of the hypothesis that residential pesticide exposure from agricultural applications is associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer
