Gastrointestinal symptoms and digestive comorbidities in an Italian cohort of patients with COVID-19
OBJECTIVE: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic mainly involves respiratory symptoms, though gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are increasingly being recognized. In this context, the presence of comorbidities appears to be associated with adverse outcomes. However, the role of digestive manifestations is not yet well defined. The primary aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of GI symptoms and digestive comorbidities in a cohort of patients with COVID-19 compared to controls. The...

OBJECTIVE: Vitiligo is a chronic acquired pigmentary skin disorder characterized by well-defined asymptomatic white macule as a result of loss of functional melanocytes in the epidermis. The psychological burden experienced by patients is of great interest and consequently research of the best medical approach is constantly developing. This review focuses on surgical approach and the combination of surgery and phototherapy. In addition, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) could be useful to discriminate...

Now that many countries are implementing ‘exit strategies’ from the containment measures, the health impact related to COVID-19, stress and isolation will become clear. However, there is a second wave of potential health consequences threatening us. According to economists, a worldwide economic recession is to be expected. We can therefore expect a change in the various health problems associated to a negative economic growth and its impact on employment.1 2 It is in this expected second part that...

We are writing with respect to three recently published papers1–3 that address the global burden of disease due to occupational exposures. This work by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2016 Occupational Risk Factors Collaborators presents what appear to be precise estimates of the global burden of death and disease due to occupational exposure, for example, 2.8% of deaths and 3.2% of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from all causes.1 For cancer, the estimates are 3.9% of all cancer deaths...

Objective In most European countries, political reforms gradually increase the statutory retirement age to counter the economic costs of a growing elderly population. However, working to a high age may be difficult for people with hard physical labour. We aim to study the impact of high physical work demands on working life expectancy (WLE). Methods We combined physical work demands assessed by job exposure matrix (JEM) and longitudinal high-quality national registers (outcome) in 1.6 million...

Occupational stress is an emerging problem among physician and nurses, and those working in intensive care settings are particularly exposed to the risk of developing burnout. To verify what types of interventions to manage occupational stress and burn out within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have been introduced so far and to verify their efficacy among caregivers. PsycINFO (PsycINFO 1967–July week 3 2019), Embase (Embase 1996–2019 week 29) e Medline (Ovid MEDLINE(R) without revisions 1996–July...

Background Increased mammographic density is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. Night shiftwork and its related factors, which include light at night, phase shift and sleep disruption, are believed to increase breast cancer risk however, their effects on mammographic density have barely been studied. Methods This study included 1821 women enrolled in the Breast Cancer Environment and Employment Study between 2009 and 2011. Mammographic density was measured using the Cumulus...

Objectives There are established methods for occupational epidemiological cohort analysis, such as proportional hazards regression, that are well suited to aetiological research and yield parameter estimates that allow for succinct communication among academics. However, these methods are not necessarily well suited for evaluation of health impacts of policy choices and communication to decision makers. An informed decision about a policy that impacts health and safety requires a valid estimate...

The world is facing a frightening pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with thousands of infections and fatalities. After 15 days of hard working in the intensive care unit managing patients with COVID-19, three nurses simultaneously complained about a red eye with painless eyelid swelling and tearing. Ophthalmological examination revealed similar single non-tender inflammatory nodules located in the middle of the lower eyelid, accompanied by conjunctival...

Objectives To assess if improvement of working conditions related to heat stress was associated with improved kidney health outcomes among sugarcane harvest workers in Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, a region heavily affected by the epidemic of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin. Methods Based on our findings during the 2017–2018 harvest (harvest 1), recommendations that enhanced the rest schedule and improved access to hydration and shade were given before the 2018–2019 harvest (harvest...

Objective Shift work is known to be related to several negative health consequences and sickness absence. Research results regarding the relationship between types of shift schedules and sickness absence and whether and how individual factors moderate this relationship, are mixed though. The present paper aims to provide more insight in these relationships. Methods We used registry data from a large Norwegian hospital gathered for the years 2012–2016, for >14 000 employees. With random effects...

Objectives Previous research has shown that poor physical and mental health are important risk factors for early work exit. We examined potential differences in this association in older workers (50+) across educational levels.

Objectives To assess lung cancer mortality across occupations and economic activities/industries in Switzerland using three statistical estimates. Methods All Swiss residents aged 18–65 during the 1990 or 2000 censuses were followed through 2014 to ascertain information on date and cause of death. For every occupation and economic activity/industry, causal mortality ratios (CMR) and standardised mortality ratios (SMR) were computed using national cause-specific mortality rates. We also calculated...

In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the availability of well-fitting personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential to protect healthcare workers (HCWs) from the risks of contracting droplets and/or airborne infections from patients under their care. However, prolonged use of PPE, in particular, the N-95 respirator, can lead to the development of device-related pressure ulcers (DRPU) over the face, adding to the numerous physical and psychological stressors faced by HCWs. The incidence...

Objectives Occupational exposure to soft paper dust is associated with impaired lung function. Whether there is an increased risk for asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is unclear. Methods We studied 7870 workers from three Swedish soft paper mills, and defined high-exposed workers, as having been exposed to soft paper dust exceeding 5 mg/m3 for at least 5 years. The remaining workers were classified as ‘low exposed’. Person-years at risk were calculated and stratified according...
