Impact of eptinezumab on work productivity beyond reductions in monthly migraine days: post hoc analysis of the DELIVER trial

BackgroundEptinezumab’s impact on self-reported work productivity in adults with migraine and 2‒4 prior preventive migraine treatment failures is not fully understood.MethodologyElectronic diaries captured monthly migraine days (MMDs) reported by patients enrolled in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled DELIVER trial (NCT04418765). The migraine-specific Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire, administered at baseline and each monthly visit, was a secondary outcome of DELIVER and used to model changes from baseline in self-reported monthly hours of absenteeism (decreased work attendance) and presenteeism (reduced work efficiency while at work with a migraine) in Canada, as the base case. Path analysis illustrated eptinezumab’s impact on work productivity beyond MMDs.ResultsAs MMDs increased, monthly hours of absenteeism increased linearly while those of presenteeism increased quadratically. Best-fit models were improved after including an eptinezumab treatment effect, showing benefit over placebo after controlling for MMD frequency. Compared to placebo, patients treated with eptinezumab (pooled) had a modeled reduction from baseline of 7.2 h/month (absenteeism) (95% CI: −9.9, −4.5; P < 0.001) and 21.4 h/month (presenteeism) (95% CI: −26.3, −16.5; P < 0.001) over weeks 1‒24. Beyond MMD reductions, improvements in patient-identified most bothersome symptom (PI-MBS) and reductions in percent of severe migraine attacks contributed to eptinezumab’s effect.ConclusionsEptinezumab decreased absenteeism and presenteeism based on patient reports, with data highlighting the importance of considering the PI-MBS. The greater change from baseline than placebo in self-reported absenteeism and presenteeism was only partly explained by changes in MMDs, presenting a potential opportunity to decrease the cost of migraine in the workplace.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04418765); EudraCT (Identifier: 2019-004497-25)

Improvements in quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis receiving alemtuzumab in clinical practice: the LEMVIDA study

BackgroundAlemtuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Its efficacy and safety have been widely demonstrated in clinical trials, but experience from real-world cohorts is also needed to support its clinical use. Quality of life (QoL) outcomes are an important complement to the clinical benefits of treatment, offering a patient-centered perspective on how the drug contributes to general well-being. In this line we aimed to evaluate the QoL of patients treated with alemtuzumab in clinical practice.MethodsThis prospective 3-year multicenter study was carried out in adult patients diagnosed with RRMS who had started alemtuzumab according to clinical practice within 8 weeks before inclusion. The primary endpoint was the change in QoL over three years of treatment with alemtuzumab using the 29-item Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29). Secondary endpoints included changes from baseline in the 21-item Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS-21), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT, oral version) and Work Productivity. Disability worsening was also assessed based on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), along with the annualized relapse rate (ARR) and radiological activity.ResultsA cohort of 165 patients was analyzed (mean age 38.6 years, mean disease duration 8.5 years, mean EDSS score 3.3). MSIS-29 physical domain scores decreased significantly from baseline by a mean of 7.2 ± 1.8 points at year 1, 6.4 ± 2.2 at year 2 and 5.6 ± 2.3 at year 3 (p < 0.05 in all cases). Similarly, MSIS-29 psychological domain scores decreased significantly by a mean of 7.9 ± 2.4 points at year 1, 12.8 ± 2.9 at year 2 and 13.2 ± 3.0 at year 3 (p < 0.05 in all cases). Significant reductions from baseline were also evidenced in MFIS-21 and BDI-II scores, while SDMT scores remained unchanged. During the 3 years on alemtuzumab, the ARR was 0.15, representing an 83% reduction from the 2 years before initiation. At 3 years, 81.5% of patients were free from radiological activity and 87% were free from disability worsening.ConclusionsThese results indicate early and substantial improvements in patients’ perception of their QoL and functioning with alemtuzumab that were sustained over three years.

A SET OF SMALL-SIZED EQUIPMENT FOR CARRYING OUT RESTORATION WORK ON SEGMENTS OF SEWAGE COLLECTORS

The urban sewage system is the basis for ensuring environmental safety and viability of cities. However, in the context of today's conditions, which include military aggression and limited funding, maintaining the viability of these systems faces numerous challenges. The article is devoted to the study of actual methods of restoration of reinforced concrete structures of sewage collectors, which are important elements of the infrastructure that ensure the collection and transportation of wastewater to treatment facilities. Given the complex location of many sewage facilities, their restoration requires the use of specialized mobile equipment capable of functioning effectively in limited conditions. The article analyzes modern methods of restoration work, including methods of injection and injection concrete (dry and wet). Various technological approaches to the restoration of damaged areas, which ensure reliable sealing and return of the object to its original state, are considered. The peculiarities of using shotcrete as one of the most effective methods of applying the concrete mixture to the prepared surface are also discussed. It is noted that this technology allows for a high level of adhesion and uniform coverage, which is important to prevent further destruction. The study highlights the importance of choosing quality equipment for the preparation and delivery of concrete mixes, such as concrete mixers, compressor units and flexible pipes. The characteristics of the equipment are considered, which allow to perform work on the application of a concrete mixture under pressure in difficult conditions, in particular in the limited space of underground tunnels or collectors of small diameter. Technological schemes of restoration work are described, including various options for the location of equipment depending on the conditions of access to the damaged area. The results of the study indicate that the choice of appropriate equipment and methods of work depends on the type of damage, the condition of the surface and the conditions of the restoration. The use of small-sized mobile kits allows you to increase the productivity and quality of restoration work, ensuring speed and efficiency even in difficult conditions of limited access. Thanks to the use of modern technologies, such as shotcrete, restored areas of reinforced concrete structures are able to maintain their integrity and resistance to the influence of external factors, including microbiological corrosion and mechanical damage. The article concludes that the integration of mobile, multi-functional equipment and the latest repair methods is a key factor in ensuring the effective restoration of sewage systems, which is the basis for the stable functioning of urban infrastructure.

Method for Determining the Number of Maintenance Personnel

Reducing the number of workers (downsizing) is a strategic step for companies to increase their competitiveness. With downsizing, worker productivity is expected to increase; therefore, the company's financial performance can improve. For the quantitative accuracy of downsizing to be achieved, it is necessary to measure the workload of the related work. Measuring the workload on maintenance work is difficult because of the varying nature of the work activities (e.g., frequency, duration, complexity). This study aims to develop a method for calculating the number of workers working in maintenance. The developed method is based on a combination of time study and RAM (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) methods. The number of maintenance workers is determined by calculating the Full-time equivalent value (the ratio between the actual total working hours and the maximum scheduled working hours). A full-time equivalent value greater than one indicates a workload that is too large (over-utilized), and a full-time equivalent value of less than one indicates a workload that is too small (underutilized). The method developed was then tested in a case study on maintenance work at a mining company. The results show that the proposed method can be used as input for decision-makers in determining the number of workers on maintenance work.

THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON VULNERABLE WORKERS’ PERFORMANCE AND INCOME

This study models and analyzes how climatic variability impacts the productivity of vulnerable and non-vulnerable workers, empha sizing disparities driven by climate sensitivity. Vulnerable workers, heavily reliant on stable environmental conditions, face amplified pro ductivity losses due to deviations from optimal temperature, while non-vulnerable workers, shielded by technology, maintain stable out puts. A Cobb-Douglas production function with a CES framework quantifies these effects, revealing significant declines in wages and pro ductivity for vulnerable groups as climate variability increases. The research integrates theories of heat stress, psychosocial work environ ments, and climate justice to explain these impacts. Results highlight how firms adapt by substituting vulnerable labor with non-vulnerable workers, exacerbating employment and income inequalities. This dy namic aligns with climate justice concerns, as low-income, outdoor intensive roles suffer the most, underscoring the need for equitable adaptation policies.

MONOPSONY POWER AND WORKER UTILITY IN THE 6X1 LABOR SCHEDULE

This study analyzes the 6x1 work schedule, characterized by six consecutive workdays followed by one rest day, highlighting its economic and social impacts. It explores the interaction between firm-level profit maximization and worker utility, incorporating monopsony power in wage-setting and diminishing returns to labor productivity. Using a theoretical model, the study examines how long working hours affect worker health, morale, and productivity while influencing organizational outcomes. Findings reveal significant distortions in equilibrium wages and hours due to monopsony power, emphasizing the trade-offs between economic efficiency and worker well-being. The study calls for policies addressing these inefficiencies to ensure sustainable labor practices.

To systematically identify and evaluate interventions to improve work participation for adults with upper limb musculoskeletal conditions, and explore contextual factors and mechanisms that suggest how the intervention is effective, for whom, and in what setting. The review protocol was pre-registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023433216). Eligible studies met the following criteria. Population adults (aged ≥ 18years), with musculoskeletal upper limb conditions including traumatic and non-traumatic presentations. Intervention strategies aimed at enhancing work participation. Outcomes measures including return to work, increased work duties or hours, and work functioning. Study design randomised and non-randomised experimental studies, mixed methods, qualitative studies, and case series. Two reviewers independently screened, extracted data, and completed quality appraisal. Interventions were described using TIDieR and the data presented as a narrative synthesis. Twenty-two studies were included. Interventions were categorised into three groups: multimodal or multidisciplinary (n = 13), ergonomic (n = 4), and exercise (n = 5). Eight interventions were primarily delivered in the workplace and 14 in healthcare settings. Four outcome domains were reported: return to work (n = 18), self-reported work function (n = 4), work productivity (n = 5), and work-related costs (n = 2). Only exercise interventions showed consistent statistically significant benefits. Heterogeneity in outcomes prevented formal meta-analysis. Only five studies were rated as high quality. There is insufficient evidence to recommend specific work participation interventions for adults with upper limb musculoskeletal systems. No studies explored the impact of Fit Notes or other formal work guidance documentation.

Sequential transcranial electrical stimulation in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with post-COVID syndrome

BACKGROUND: The primary hypothesis for the use of sequential transcranial electrical stimulation therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with post-COVID syndrome is the potential synergistic effect on the central nervous system. Specifically, the method combines brain micropolarization — involving neocortex neurons and diencephalic brain stimulation — affecting limbic system structures. This synergy is expected to improve connections between cortical and subcortical structures, as well as neurohumoral regulation. AIM: To study the effectiveness of complex medical rehabilitation involving sequential transcranial electrical stimulation therapy in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with post-COVID syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An open, prospective, randomized comparative study included 142 patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy: 79 female (55.6%) and 63 male (44.4%) patients, aged 59 (45–69] years. The average disease duration was 8.4 years, with a period after coronavirus infection of 3.6 months. After randomization, patients in Group 1 (comparison group 1, n=48) received brain micropolarization; Group 2 (comparison group 2, n=46) received diencephalic brain stimulation; and Group 3 (main group, n=48) received both therapies sequentially. Treatment outcomes were evaluated based on changes in clinical symptoms over time and a battery of neuropsychological tests. RESULTS: In Group 3, which received sequential transcranial electrical stimulation therapy, all symptoms of dyscirculatory encephalopathy showed a significant improvement (1.2–1.6 times) compared to baseline (p 0.05–0.001). For brain micropolarization alone (Group 1), there was an average reduction in the severity of symptoms such as cranialgia, memory and attention deficits, irritability, and sleep disturbances by 1.2–1.4 times. In Group 2, diencephalic brain stimulation resulted in an improvement in tinnitus, fatigue, work productivity, and dizziness by 1.3–1.4 times. In the main group, there was an overall alleviation of all psychophysiological issues (1.1–2.0 times; p 0.05–0.01); in comparison groups 1 and 2, improvement was 1.1–1.5 times and 1.2–1.8 times, respectively. CONCLUSION: Medical rehabilitation using a combined approach (sequential application of brain micropolarization and diencephalic brain stimulation) alongside pharmacological support in patients with dyscirculatory encephalopathy associated with post-COVID syndrome is shown to be the most effective due to the pronounced neurotropic effect of the physical factors involved, allowing for the correction of a whole range of neurological, neuropsychological, and motor disorders.

Design of flexible polyimide-based serpentine EMG sensor for AI-enabled fatigue detection in construction

Physical fatigue and musculoskeletal disorders are critical health issues for construction workers, stemming from repetitive motions, heavy lifting, and awkward postures. These factors compromise worker well-being, productivity, and safety while increasing the risk of accidents and long-term health problems. Recent advancements in wearable health monitoring technology offer potential solutions, but current sensors encounter significant challenges in the dynamic construction environment. These include inadequate skin contact, increased contact impedance, and vulnerability to motion artifacts all of which degrade signal quality and reduce the accuracy of fatigue detection. This paper develops a fractal-based, flexible sensor for enhanced adaptability and accurate fatigue estimation. Finite element analysis compared five space-filling designs, with the serpentine curve exhibiting the highest contact area and lowest strain, making it the preferred choice for fabrication. Evaluations demonstrated significant improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and motion artifact reduction, with the newly developed sensor achieving a 37 % to 59 % SNR improvement over commercial electrodes across different muscle groups. The developed flexible sensor was integrated with a fatigue-detecting framework based on a vision transformer model which provided an average accuracy of 87 % for fatigue detection. The developed sensor significantly enhances EMG signal quality and reliability, promising improved health monitoring and safety for construction workers.

Introduction. The WPAI-UC/CD-Caregiver questionnaires assess the impact of ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) on parents'/caregivers' work life and daily activities. Our objective was to adapt and validate these questionnaires in the Spanish population. Methods. A translation and back-translation were done. The document was assessed by an expert committee and a pilot group of families of patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (p-IBD). For validation, the parents/caregivers of patients with p-IBD (10-18 years old) were recruited. The expert committee and the pilot group conducted a subjective assessment of the format and time necessary to complete the questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was estimated and a factor analysis with varimax rotation was done. Kaiser- Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficients and Bartlett's sphericity test were estimated to test the adequacy of the factor analysis. Results. A total of 370 patients (median age: 14.1 years) and 263 parents/caregivers of patients with UC or unclassified IBD and 261 parents/caregivers of patients with CD were included. The KMO coefficients (0.6947 and 0.7179) and Bartlett's sphericity test (p < 0.001) confirmed the adequacy of the factor analysis. The 6 items targeted the same domain. The factor model accounted for 99.99% and 94.68% of variance, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0.6581 and 0.6968) showed an adequate consistency. The format and the median time of 2 minutes to complete the questionnaires were considered optimal. Conclusions. The versions of the WPAI-Caregiver questionnaires validated in the Spanish population may be used in families whose children have IBD.

Analyze the Effect of Steel Waste on Performance Characteristics of Concrete

This cross-sectional study investigates the immediate impact of occupational stress on short-term heart rate variability (HRV) and muscle strength among 200 construction workers in Chennai. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was employed to assess stress levels, while HRV was measured using a portable ECG device, focusing on time-domain (RMSSD) and frequency-domain (HF Power) parameters. Muscle strength was evaluated using a MicroFET 2 dynamometer. Pearson correlation and multivariate regression analyses were applied to determine the associations between stress, HRV, and muscle strength, adjusting for confounding factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), and work duration. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between perceived stress and both HRV indices (RMSSD: r=-0.45, p&lt;0.01; HF Power: r=-0.50, p&lt;0.01) as well as muscle strength (r=-0.40, p&lt;0.01). Higher stress levels were associated with reduced HRV and diminished muscle strength. Regression analyses confirmed that stress independently predicted lower HRV (RMSSD: ?=-0.35, p&lt;0.01; HF Power: ?=-0.42, p&lt;0.01) and decreased muscle strength (?=-0.32, p&lt;0.01). These findings suggest that elevated stress negatively impacts both cardiovascular and muscular functioning, potentially increasing the health risks among construction workers. The study highlights the importance of implementing stress management interventions to improve both the physical well-being and productivity of workers in the construction industry.
