Traditional Chinese medicine for sjögren’s syndrome: a national survey of attitudes and perceptions among Chinese patients and rheumatologists

BackgroundThis study explored similarities and differences among Chinese patients and rheumatologists in their attitudes towards and perceptions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), including analyzing factors that influenced their decision making.MethodsAn anonymous questionnaire was used to conduct a multicenter survey among patients with SS at three tertiary care medical centers in Beijing and among rheumatology clinicians at several hospitals across China. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics.ResultsThere were 942 valid questionnaires from patients from 31 provinces and cities in China, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 1:14, a mean age of 48.81 years, and a median disease duration of 7 (4, 10) years. There were 320 valid questionnaires from rheumatologists, covering 30 provinces and cities in China, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 0.87:1, a mean age of 48 years, and a median work duration of 10.5 (6, 15) years. The rheumatologists treated a median of 15 (11, 50) SS cases per month, and the median proportion of SS to all rheumatic diseases was 6.66% (6–10%). Many patients believed TCM could cure the root of the disease, and the most expected TCM therapies were TCM patent prescriptions and medicinal teas. Conversely, rheumatologists placed high value on the efficacy of TCM, and most commonly prescribed Chinese herbal decoctions. Most doctor-patient groups were positive about TCM treatment, citing the low side effects as the major advantage. Regression analysis showed that for patients over 40 years old with a course of disease > 4 years, the probability of using TCM has increased by 1–6 times; the probability of recommending TCM in clinical work of doctors who have worked for more than 15 years, TCM and integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine has increased 1–2 times.ConclusionsTCM has become widely accepted and earned attention from doctor-patient groups, especially among older patients and experienced rheumatologists. However, negative prejudices and absence of accurate information about TCM treatments and SS itself require improvement. The contradiction between TCM dosage form and efficacy is a major problem, and patient demand for convenient and efficient TCM patent preparations suggests future work should focus on developing TCM patent preparations with clear compositions and mechanisms.

Integrated optimization of pilot and pilot carrier routing in seaports

Pilotage is an important service for vessels to enter and leave seaports. When vessels entering or leaving their berths, pilots are assigned to provide assistance on board to maneuver the vessels. Pilot carriers, such as pilot boats and helicopters are utilized to transport pilots from the pilot station to the vessels at appointed ground. With the increasing number of calling vessels, the pilotage plan should be made properly considering the limited pilots and carriers resources in seaports to enhance timing reliability, which is a key port performance indicator. This paper studies the pilot and pilot carrier routing problem arising in seaports, where both the routes of pilots and carriers are determined jointly to achieve the lowest pilotage costs. The required service time intervals of vessels, the synchronization between pilots and carriers and the limited working duration for both pilots and carriers are considered. The problem is formulated as an arc-flow model, and a hybrid multi-start adaptive large neighborhood search and local search algorithm (mALNS-LS) is developed. Efficient departure time and cost computation methods are designed based on a set of forward and backward functions, and a model-based post optimization is applied. Computational experiments verify the performance of the proposed mALNS-LS in terms of solution quality and efficiency.

Study on the psychological health status and influencing factors of operating room nursing staff.

To comprehensively analyze the psychological health status of operating room nurses and identify influencing factors. The research compares psychological health differences based on nurses' years of experience, specifically examining depression and anxiety scores. A detailed assessment was conducted, focusing on nurses with varying experience levels. Findings revealed higher depression scores among mid to senior-level nurses, while junior-level nurses exhibited elevated anxiety scores. Additionally, overall dissatisfaction with physical health and various subhealth symptoms were reported. Multifactorial analysis identified working hours, disaster relief experience, and perceived occupational benefits as primary influencers. Through comparative analysis, it was found that the average score of self-rating depression scale and self-rating anxiety scale was 53.8 ± 12.2 points and 47.6 ± 10.5 points respectively. The depression score of middle and senior nurses was significantly higher than that of junior nurses (P < .05). The anxiety score of primary nurses was significantly higher than that of middle and senior nurses (P < .05). The results indicate that the duration of work, previous experience in disaster relief, and nurses' perception of occupational benefits were the main factors influencing the psychological health status of operating room nurses (P < .05). Healthcare institutions are recommended to implement targeted interventions based on nurses' experience levels, addressing specific psychological health needs. Future research should delve into specific subgroups, conduct long-term tracking, expand the scope of influencing factors, assess the effectiveness of intervention measures, and explore cross-cultural aspects.

Determination of the Duration of Installation Using a Digital Model of the Technological Cycle of a Tower Crane

Satement of the problem. The initial information for the development of working organizational and technological documentation is the quantitative values established by the project (for example, the duration and load capacity of a tower crane). Recommendations on the choice of the leading machine of the technological process of installation of precast concrete structures (adj. B STO NOSTROY 2.7.211-2016) do not provide for an assessment of the change in the duration of the technological cycle depending on the height of the installation horizon. Such an omission inevitably leads to an increase in the duration of construction and installation work. In this paper, it is assumed that the construction of a digital model of the technological cycle of a tower crane for the installation of each reinforced concrete structure will provide a higher reliability of calculating the duration of work, and with the help of such a model, it is possible to determine the requirements for the lifting/lowering speed of a tower crane. Results. The requirements for the initial data that are necessary to build a digital model of the technological cycle of a tower crane during the installation of precast concrete are formed. An analytical dependence and its graphical interpretation are obtained to determine the duration of the technological cycle depen-ding on the height of the installation horizon. The comparison of the duration value set by the calendar schedule and obtained as a result of summing the durations of each technological cycle of the tower crane is carried out. Conclusions. In the recommendations for choosing a tower crane for the installation of reinforced concrete structures, it is necessary to add characteristics that describe the high-speed mode of movement of the building structure. The influence of the speed modes of the tower crane on the duration set by the project should be assessed using a digital moth of the technological cycle of the tower crane. The assessment of compliance with the speed modes of the tower crane should be carried out based on a comparison of the estimated duration of the work set by the project and the sum of the durations of each technological cycle of the tower crane obtained as a result of the use of a digital model.

Effect of Exercise Regimens on Musculoskeletal Health in Working Horses in Bangladesh

Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Recent studies on exercise regimens for working horses in Bangladesh show that regular, moderate-intensity exercise strengthens muscles and bones, reducing strains and sprains. Structured training enhances bone density and tendon strength, crucial for their physical demands. Exercise also prevents conditions like osteoarthritis by maintaining joint mobility. Muscle conditioning improves strength and flexibility, lowering the risk of injuries. Varied exercise routines promote balanced musculoskeletal development and endurance. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Biomechanical theory, physiological adaptation theory &amp; workload management theory may be used to anchor future studies on effect of exercise regimens on musculoskeletal health in working horses in Bangladesh. Implement balanced exercise programs that mix high-intensity and low-intensity activities, and ensure shorter, frequent exercise sessions to promote muscle recovery and reduce overuse injuries. Establish regulations that limit the maximum workload and duration of work for horses, ensuring that they are not subjected to continuous high-intensity tasks without adequate rest.

The association between shift work, shift work sleep disorders and premature ejaculation in male workers

ObjectiveShift work and Shift Work Sleep Disorder (SWSD) are known to affect the secretion of several neurotransmitters and hormones associated with premature ejaculation (PE). However, their specific influence on the regulation of male ejaculation remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between shift work, SWSD, and PE.MethodsFrom April to October 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted across five regions of China to explore the work schedules, sleep quality, and sexual function of male workers. Participants' sleep quality was evaluated using a validated SWSD questionnaire, and their erectile function and ejaculatory control were assessed with the International Inventory of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) scores, respectively. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were employed to identify risk factors associated with PE. Confounders were controlled using multiple regression models, and clinical prediction models were developed to predict PE onset and assess the contribution of risk factors.ResultsThe study included 1239 eligible participants, comprising 840 non-shift workers and 399 shift workers (148 with SWSD and 251 without SWSD). Compared to non-shift working males, those involved in shift work (β 1.58, 95% CI 0.75 – 2.42, p < 0.001) and those suffering from SWSD (β 2.86, 95% CI 1.86 – 3.85, p < 0.001) they had significantly higher PEDT scores. Additionally, we identified daily sleep of less than six hours, depression, anxiety, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, frequent alcohol consumption (more than twice a week), and erectile dysfunction as risk factors for PE. The predictive model for PE demonstrated commendable efficacy.ConclusionBoth shift work and SWSD significantly increase the risk of premature ejaculation, with the risk magnifying in tandem with the duration of shift work. This study reveals the potential impact of shift work and SWSD on PE and provides new theoretical foundations for the risk assessment and prevention of this condition.

Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Health Workers and Caregivers Towards Retinopathy of Prematurity in Uganda: A Mixed‐Methods Study

ABSTRACTIntroductionRetinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant global issue and a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness. Early screening and timely management of preterm babies at risk are crucial. To effectively implement this strategy, it is essential that caregivers and health workers are well‐informed about ROP. This study plays a vital role in assessing the knowledge, attitudes and practices of caregivers and healthcare workers towards ROP in Uganda, providing valuable insights into the current understanding and approach towards this condition.MethodWe conducted a sequential explanatory mixed‐methods study, involving 214 participants. This group included 12 paediatricians, 56 neonatal nurses and 146 caregivers, all of whom play crucial roles in the healthcare system. The study was conducted at two tertiary hospital neonatal clinics in Uganda. A researcher‐administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data on the participants’ knowledge, attitudes and practices. Descriptive statistics were used to describe variables, while qualitative data were analysed using thematic content analysis.ResultsWe recruited 146 caregivers with a mean age of 29.4 (±standard deviation 6.5) years, 12 paediatricians with a median age of 37 years (IQR: 36–41) and 56 nurses with a median age of 35 years (30–42). The median working duration of health workers at the neonatal unit was 3 (IQR: 1.8–4.2) years. Thirty‐two (21.92%) caregivers and 28 (49.12%) health workers had good knowledge about ROP, whereas 9 nurses and 2 paediatricians did not know about ROP. Barriers to ROP screening included limited resources (equipment, time and skilled personnel) and limited parental involvement. Enhancing collaboration among medical care teams has the potential to improve ROP screening.ConclusionInsufficient knowledge about ROP among caregivers calls for increased efforts to educate and sensitise them about ROP and its risk factors.

For the period 2021–2022, was positively related with having multisite musculoskeletal symptoms, and age over 50 years; negatively related with the mean duration of work per week.The knowledge of protective and risk factors has an important role in the definition of preventive strategies and the design of home office by the universities.

Knowledge and Practice of Primary School Teachers Regarding Pediculosis Capitis in Baghdad, Iraq

Abstract Background: Pediculosis is a disease which is caused by the ectoparasite Pediculus humanus capitis. There is an estimated 19% global prevalence of head lice infestation among schoolchildren. Health education programs have a beneficial impact on the prevention and control of the disease. Increasing knowledge, changing attitudes and behaviors, and improving personal hygiene practices reduce the morbidity and prevalence of pediculosis capitis. Aim of Study: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and practice of primary school teachers about pediculosis capitis and to find the association of studied variables with knowledge and practice scores. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 20 primary schools in Baghdad, Iraq, from November 1, 2022, to January 31, 2023. It included 351 primary school teachers who had worked for at least 1 year. A questionnaire was distributed to teachers at selected schools for assessment of knowledge and practice. Results: In this study, 20.5% of studied cases had poor knowledge, 58% had fair and 21.5% had good knowledge. Regarding practice level, 43% of studied cases had poor, 37% had fair and 20% had good practice about pediculosis capitis. Poor knowledge and poor practice are significantly higher among participants with an institute level of education and lower duration of work, among singles, those who did not have children who had arts or sports specialties, and those who did not have pediculosis capitis cases. A strong positive correlation was noticed between knowledge and practice scores. Conclusion: The knowledge scores were fair, while the practice scores were poor. Multiple sources are considered a major source of information. There is no association between the gender of the participant and the level of knowledge and practice parameters.

Neurological and neurobehavioral effects of welders in Egypt exposed to manganese containing welding fumes.

Welders are more likely to develop neurobehavioral disorders because of their exposure to neurotoxic metals such as manganese. This study aimed to measure the neurobehavioral performance of welders occupationally exposed to manganese at welding enterprises and its relationship with the workplace environment. It is a comparative cross-sectional study carried out on 130 welders working at 50 welding enterprises in Menoufia governorate, Egypt, compared to 130 non-occupationally exposed controls. It was found that the environments of the studied welding enterprises had levels of respirable dust, manganese, and total welding fumes that exceeded internationally permissible limits. In addition, the mean blood manganese levels were significantly higher among welders (4.16 ± 0.61) than the controls (1.72 ± 0.41). Welders had a significantly higher prevalence of neurological manifestations and lower performance of neurobehavioral tests. Lower neurobehavioral performance among welders was significantly correlated with increased work duration and blood levels in some tests. To lessen the fumes in the breathing zone of workers, it is therefore strongly recommended to regularly wear high-quality personal protective equipment, especially masks, and to ensure proper ventilation.

The results of research using NBM were 2 workers with high risk, 3 workers with medium risk, and 7 workers with low risk. The results of the MFA method were that 3 workers experienced muscle fatigue in the very high category with priority in the neck, back, shoulders, right arm, wrist and feet. Efforts to minimize the risk of MSDs by redesigning work facilities using SolidWorks software and reducing the risk of muscle fatigue by improving work facilities, improving the layout of the production floor, and encouraging workers to stretch their muscles and exercise regularly.

Influence of Work Posture and Work Duration on the Incidence of Low Back Pain Among Batik Artisans: a Cross-sectional Study

Background: Batik artisans, particularly those involved in the "nyanting" process, are susceptible to lower back pain due to non-ergonomic working postures. These craftsmen sit for long durations as they meticulously apply wax to fabric. They utilize dingklik, which compels them to sit in a slightly hunched position. The repeated adoption of such postures can heighten the risk of lower back pain. This research aims to investigate the relationship between work posture, years of service, and the incidence of low back pain among "nyanting" batik artisans in Pulorejo Village Methods: This observational analytical research employed a cross-sectional approach with 42 "nyanting" batik artisans chosen through a total sampling technique. Conducted in Pulorejo Village in January 2024, the research assessed work posture using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) instrument, while the occurrence of low back pain was evaluated through history taking and physical examination. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 25.0 software. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between years of service and the occurrence of low back pain (LBP) (p=0.002; r=0.471). The risk of LBP increases with the length of service. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between working posture, as indicated by the REBA score, and the occurrence of LBP (p=0.010; r=0.395). A higher REBA score corresponds to a greater risk of LBP. Conclusions: the Years of service and the working posture were associated to the incidence of low back pain (LBP) among "nyanting" batik artisans in Pulorejo Village.

Night shift work and myocardial infarction in the UK Biobank.

Shift work has become popular along with adverse effects such as disrupted biological rhythms, metabolic changes, sleep disorders and myocardial infarction. Studies have shown a link between myocardial infarction and shift work, but evidence is still lacking. We aim to explore the association between present and past shift work and risk of myocardial infarction in a large population of European workers. We analysed data from the UK Biobank with >500 000 participants and an average 12-year follow-up duration. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to analyse the relationship between present shift work (n = 265 064), lifetime duration or frequency of shift work (n = 71 428) and the risk of myocardial infarction, as well as the association between rest day during shift work and myocardial infarction incidents in night shift workers (n = 14 588). Night shift workers had a higher risk of myocardial infarction compared to day workers, including 'shift but never/rarely night shifts' (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.20), 'some night shifts' (HR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.27) and 'usual/permanent night shifts' (HR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.07-1.37), respectively. Similarly, higher frequency and longer duration of night shift work were associated with the increased risk of myocardial infarction (<10 years: HR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.01-1.42; ≥10 years: HR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.28-1.77; or an average of more than eight nights per month: HR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.23-1.71). However, longer rest days couldn't decrease myocardial infarction risk compared to those who rest 1 day. Present and lifetime exposure to night shifts were associated with a risk of myocardial infarction and did not benefit from longer rest days.

The influence of nanocellulose from different plant raw materials on the quality indicators of electrical insulation paper

An urgent scientific and practical task for electrical engineering enterprises is to improve the specific characteristics of component transformers and capacitors that use electrical insulating paper. Electrical insulating paper is characterized by a wide list of special quality indicators, the necessary values ​​of which are achieved due to the use of cellulose with special properties and various chemical auxiliary substances. There are known attempts to use nanocellulose (NC) from wood to reduce the consumption of harmful synthetic chemical auxiliaries, but there are practically no research results on the impact of consumption of NC from non-wood plant materials. Therefore, in the work, a comparative study of the effect of NC from hemp fibers and coniferous wood on the target indicators of the quality of electrical insulating paper was carried out. For this, cellulose, suitable for extracting NC from hemp fibers, was obtained by an environmentally safe organosolv method. NC is obtained as a result of acid hydrolysis of organosolv hemp and sulfate unbleached coniferous cellulose, which is traditionally used in the production of electrical insulating paper. Laboratory samples of electrical insulating paper were made with a weight of 65±3 g/m2 from sulfated unbleached coniferous cellulose with the addition from 1% to 5% NC by weight of paper. The research results confirmed the hypothesis that the addition of NC paper pulp from various plant raw materials leads to an increase in the mechanical and electrical strength of the paper. It has been established that the effect of NC from hemp fibers on the quality indicators of electrical insulation paper is not inferior to the effect on them of NC from coniferous wood, and in some cases even a better result is observed. It was established that the introduction of NC into the composition of paper practically does not reduce its degree of polymerization, which is of great importance for maintaining high reliability and a long duration of work of paper insulation. The obtained results have scientific and practical significance for other types of insulating papers: capacitor, cable, telephone, impregnation, transformer, etc.

DIFFICULTIES OF THE DIVORCE PROCESS OF PEASANTS IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY (in terms of Tobolsk diocese)

Based on previously unexplored documents of Tobolsk Ecclesiastical Consistory, stored in the State Archive in Tobolsk, the difficulties that stood in the way of peasants to obtain permission to divorce were identified. The influence of large territories of the Russian Empire, including Tobolsk diocese, on the increase in the duration of office work and, as a consequence, on the aggravation of problems associated with divorce, is revealed. The dynamics of filing petitions for divorce for each decade from 1863 to 1917 is presented, the analysis of which showed that in the early 20th century, peasants, eager to change a spouse, applied more and more often, however, as ages before, only a few received positive decisions per year. It is concluded that most of the problems associated with divorce proceedings had remained unchanged since the previous19th century. It was found that in the early 20th century, more and more literate people, now able to sign documents on their own, appeared; however, ignorance of the laws led to an increase, in quite long time, frame for resolving marriage issues. Personal circumstances could also have an impact, and the diocesan authorities’ strict adherence to the letter of the law prevented them from entering into the position of the participants in the case.

Factors Associated With Reporting Attitudes of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Direct Care Workers in South Korea.

Workers' reporting of work-related injuries or illnesses is important for treatment and prevention, yet research often focuses on reporting barriers. This study aimed to identify factors related to work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WRMSD) reporting attitudes and their connection to reporting intention and behavior. We analyzed data from 377 direct care workers employed in 19 long-term care facilities in South Korea. A self-administered questionnaire collected demographics, job characteristics, physical and psychosocial factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, reporting attitudes, and WRMSD reporting intentions and behavior between May and August 2022. We used a generalized linear mixed model with a random intercept by employers to identify factors influencing reporting attitudes. To explore the relationship between reporting attitude and reporting intention and behavior, simple logistic regression was also conducted. We achieved an 86% response rate. The majority of the study participants were female (87.2%), married (95.9%), and non-immigrant (72.8%). Of the study participants, 48.9% had no intention to report WRMSDs, and 44.3% held negative reporting attitudes. Among 200 workers with WRMSDs, 86.5% did not report them. Attitudes were associated with work duration, safety training, management safety priority, WRMSD experience, and symptom severity and frequency. Management safety priority did not moderate this relationship. Significant links existed between attitudes and reporting intention and behavior. This study highlights the vital influence of workers' attitudes on reporting work-related injuries and illnesses. Occupational health providers should employ strategies, such as tailored safety training and management commitment, with a focus on addressing the unique needs of long-tenured and musculoskeletal-exposed workers. Fostering a safety culture that promotes open and timely reporting is crucial, and implementing these strategies can significantly enhance workplace safety and health.

Flexibility and freedom suit me better: food delivery couriers' preferred employment status.

This research examines food delivery couriers' preferred employment status and factors explaining their opinions. Previous studies have used qualitative research methods and are unable to explain couriers' general views on employment status. In this research, a survey of 1,539 Wolt couriers was carried out in Finland with logistic regression, cross-tabulation, and content analysis as analysis methods. The results show that 56% of the couriers wanted to work as self-employed and 25% as employed. The opinion was most strongly explained by valuing work-related freedom and flexibility, which were associated with the right to refuse delivery tasks offered and to choose the amount of work, working hours and delivery vehicle. The preference for self-employment was also increased by the duration of courier work, one's own choice to work as a courier, and age. Freedom and flexibility are dependent on the sufficient availability of delivery tasks, posing challenges when the demand is low.
