Authors: Harel Ziv , Jeyakumar Nivethika , Kang Yuguang , Velez Maria P. , Dayan Natalie , Ray Joel G. 
Published: December 2023

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that manifests in early childhood, in which the maternal metabolic syndrome may be a risk factor. The kidney is a barometer of maternal metabolic syndrome duration and severity. Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine whether periconceptional kidney function is associated with ASD in early childhood. Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective population-based cohort study was completed in Ontario, Canada. Included were singleton children born in an Ontario hospital between April 2007 and March 2021, who were alive at age 48 months and whose mother had a recorded prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and a measured serum creatinine (SCr) between 120 days preconception and 28 days postconception. Measurement: The main study outcome was a diagnosis of ASD between ages 24 and 48 months. Methods: Relative risks (RRs) of ASD in association with periconceptional SCr were generated using modified Poisson regression and adjusted for several confounders. Results: The cohort comprised 86 054 women, who had 89 677 liveborn children surviving to at least 48 months of age. There was no significant association between periconceptional SCr and ASD (RR: 0.86; 95 % confidence interval: [0.67, 1.10]). Limitations: Selection bias may have arisen had SCr been ordered on clinical grounds. Conclusions: Further study is warranted to determine whether prepregnancy glomerular hyperfiltration is a marker of ASD and other behavioral conditions in childhood. To do so, a more accurate measure of hyperfiltration is needed than SCr.

Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) faced substantial risk of infection during the COVID-19 outbreak. This study aims to determine the prevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a cross-sectional sample of HCWs as well as risk factors associated with exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Methods The study was conducted between March and May 2021 at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), a tertiary hospital located in Lebanon. Socio-demographic and clinical data, as well as data on exposure, PCR results, PPE adherence, and vaccination status, were collected using an online questionnaire. Sera were also collected to determine seropositivity using commercially available enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) targeting the spike (S) and the nucleocapsid proteins (NCP) of SARS-CoV-2. Findings Among 92 recruited HCWs, 72.3% received PPE training, more than 70% were adherent to using appropriate PPEs, and around 80% were vaccinated. Nurses in this study population were at higher risk of exposure compared to medical doctors, technicians, and other HCWs. Among the HCWs who performed a PCR test, 28.6% were infected with SARs-CoV-2 with workplace exposure not associated with COVID-19 infection. All vaccinated HCWs were seropositive for anti-S IgG with high titer (≥384 BAU/mL), with a significantly higher median anti-S IgG titer compared to unvaccinated HCWs with previous infection (384 vs. 140.1 BAU/mL; p = .0043). Conclusions Our study highlights the importance of implementing strict infection control policies among HCWs and deploying an effective COVID-19 vaccination strategy. More studies are needed in Lebanon to assess risk factors of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in the workplace.

Authors: Amberson Taryn , Graves Janessa M. , Sears Jeanne M. 
Published: December 2023

Background Registered nurses (RNs) represent the largest segment of the health care workforce and have unique job demands and occupational health considerations. The purpose of this study was to describe the incidence, cost, and causes of occupational injuries among RNs in Washington State and to quantify the cumulative cost and burden of each type of injury, relative to all injuries among RNs. Methods Annual injury claims data covered under Washington State workers’ compensation (WC) fund were analyzed over a 13-year period (2007–2019). Annual mean incidence and cost of injuries were calculated and stratified by nature, source, and event/exposure. Negative binomial regression models were used to examine trends in injury incidence over time, for injury incidence overall, and by the most common injury classifications. Results Between 2007 and 2019, 10,839 WC claims were filed and accepted for Washington State RNs (annual M = 834), totaling more than US$65 million. No significant trend in overall injury incidence was observed (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.94, 1.05]). The most common injury exposures were bodily reaction and exertion, contact with objects and equipment, falls, and assaults and violent acts. Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first broad study of the incidence and costs of occupational injuries among RNs across all workplace settings. We identified high-cost, high-frequency incidence rates of musculoskeletal, sharp, and violence-related occupational injury claims, highlighting intervention targets. Implications for Occupational Health Practice: Policy makers, health systems, and occupational health nurse leaders can use this information to identify priority areas where evidence-based occupational health and prevention programs are most needed.

Authors: Callpani Veneta , De Cunha Tiffany , Fearing Tasha , Jean-Baptiste Christina 
Published: December 2023

Objective: Occupational burnout has been documented among health care workers; however, there has been limited research investigating burnout among sonographers. The aim of this study was to measure burnout among a cohort of sonographers within New York City. Materials and Methods: 70 participants completed a questionnaire online. The questionnaire comprised 2 sections: demographic questions and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI). The OLBI was used to assess 2 core dimensions of burnout: exhaustion and disengagement. The data were analyzed descriptively with frequencies, percentages, mean values, and standard deviations. Results: The majority (84.3%) of the participants worked in a hospital setting. A moderate to high burnout score was found for 81.4% of the participants. In the separate dimensions of burnout, 84.3% scored moderate to high on exhaustion, and 76.6% scored moderate to high on disengagement. Conclusion: Occupational burnout in health care settings is a serious problem with detrimental consequences. Most of this cohort of 70 sonographers working in New York City were experiencing a moderate to high level of burnout. Development of educational programs and interventions can be considered a potential solution for addressing prevention of sonographer burnout.
Alexithymia, oral behaviors, and temporomandibular disorders: a dark triad?
Authors: Ibrahim Nour , Chamoun Wafaa Takash , El-Outa Abbass 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background
Alexithymia is a condition in which cognitive processing of emotions is impaired. Associations between alexithymia and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have been described in multiple studies, yet the coexistence or influence of oral behaviors has never been addressed. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between alexithymia, oral behaviors, and temporomandibular pain disorders.

Results
A total of 264 participants were included in this study. The mean age was 25.70 ± 5.99 years, with a range from 18 to 65 years. Eighty-two (31.1%) were possibly alexithymic, and 93 (35.2%) were alexithymic. A total of 12.5% of the participants were at high risk for TMD. With respect to oral behavior risk, 62.5% were at low risk, and 35.2% were at high risk. Alexithymia appeared to be a positive predictor of TMD risk (p < 0.001). Participants with high-risk oral behaviors were found to have an increased likelihood of TMD risk (p < 0.001). Moreover, both high-risk oral behavior and alexithymia correlated with increased somatic symptom burden levels (p < 0.001). Pain disorders exert significant distress on individuals and lead to poorer quality of life.

Conclusion
Understanding the association of alexithymia, somatic symptom burden, and coping strategies with oral behaviors and temporomandibular pain disorders can help improve the management of this condition. By tailoring the chosen therapy to the dominant co-existing psychosocial comorbidities in TMD patients, the risk of treatment failure or relapse may be diminished.
Performance Characteristics of Percentage of Hypochromic Red Cells in the Detection of Latent Iron Deficiency in Women with Menometrorrhagia
Authors: Swathy S. Lal  , Vivek George  , Himiki Selvin  
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
Menometrorrhagia is a common cause of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in women of reproductive age group. Latent iron deficiency (LID) is a precursor stage of IDA in which there is evidence of iron deficiency without anemia. LID causes cognitive impairment, impaired immunity and reduced work capacity which can be corrected by iron supplementation. Conventional biochemical and hematological parameters have limitations in the diagnosis of LID. This study was done to assess the performance characteristics of percentage of hypochromic red cells (% HYPO) in the detection of LID in women with menometrorrhagia.
METHODS
This study was done on 226 women attending the Gynaecology OP clinic of our institution, of which 183 had menometrorrhagia, and the remaining being controls. After testing for conventional hematological indices and serum ferritin, the subjects were divided into 3 groups: a LID group, an IDA group, and a control group without iron deficiency. ROC curve analysis was performed to assess % HYPO and other conventional hematological parameters in identifying LID.
RESULTS
Most hematological indices were within normal ranges in LID population, thus limiting their utility. The AUC for % HYPO in LID population was 0.736 with an optimum cut-off of 8.7 corresponding to a sensitivity and specificity of 62.3 and 76.74 respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
% HYPO is a sensitive, specific, fast, cheap, and practical and thus serves as a better predictive marker than conventional biochemical and hematological parameters in the detection of LID.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND
The larynx is a unique organ in the spectrum of functions it performs. Its role in normal respiration, maintenance and protection of the airway. Simple laryngeal lesions are not uncommon. The great majority of the cordal benign lesions are non-neoplastic, usually in a ratio of about 6:1. They are the product of some form of irritation and do not have the histological characteristics of true neoplasms. Therapy is directed at restoring as much normal function of the larynx as possible. Microlaryngeal surgery and postoperative voice rest offer a cost-effective, useful and safe approach to the management of benign laryngeal lesions.
Objectives
The study was undertaken to identify the common types of benign lesions of the larynx and the age, sex distribution, symptomatology, sites of involvement and histopathology of the lesions following micro-laryngeal surgery. Microlaryngeal surgery and postoperative voice rest offer a cost-effective, useful and safe approach to the management of benign laryngeal lesions.
METHODS
A prospective study was conducted from February 2017 to September 2019 at NRM ENT Hospital, Raichur, Karnataka and a secondary referral hospital. 30 patients with benign laryngeal lesions were included based on the patient’s clinical symptoms and findings on indirect laryngoscopy in the age group of 13–65 years. All non-operative cases and malignant cases were excluded. Routine preoperative surgical work-up and therapeutic micro-larnygoscopic procedures were employed.
RESULTS
A male preponderance with a male-to-female ratio of 1.3:1 was observed. The majority of the patients were in the age group of 31–40 years. Non-neoplastic lesions are much more common than neoplastic lesions. Vocal nodules, polyps, and angiofibromas with the same pathogenesis were common lesions. Abuse of voice, exposure to a known agent, and trauma were causative factors. Most of the lesions are solitary and unilateral, arising from the vocal cord. The right side is the common side, and sessile lesions are more numerous than pedunculated. Only 10% of cases are true neoplastic; vocal polyps, nodules, and angiofibromas with the same pathophysiology account for 70% of cases.
CONCLUSIONS
Benign lesions of the larynx are common in males, but in this series, amusingly, housewives are at the top of the list. Voice abuse, exposure to a known agent and trauma are the etiological factors. A common symptom is hoarseness of voice. On the basis of this study, it has been emphasized that the removal of the tumor should be flushed from the surface of the vocal cords to aviod any injury to the epithelium, which can be done either under microscopic or endoscopic view.
Доверие как фактор развития кооперации в России
Authors: Фролова Елена Викторовна , Рогач Ольга Владимировна 
Published: December 2023

В статье исследуется связь между субъективными оценками роли доверия и развитием практик кооперации. Эмпирические данные представлены результатами всероссийского онлайн-опроса россиян, проведенного в мае и июне 2022 г. (N = 4422). Делается вывод о готовности почти половины опрошенных респондентов к участию в кооперации, что, впрочем, не гарантирует реализацию оптимистического сценария развития кооперации в краткосрочной перспективе. Результаты исследования косвенно указывают на искаженное представление респондентов о сущности кооперативной деятельности, которая противопоставляется экономической выгоде и коммерческой успешности. Дефицит доверия деформирует потребительское восприятие кооперативной продукции: почти половина опрошенных россиян (49,9%) полагают, что кооперативы поставляют товар, непроверенный на соответствие ГОСТ. В ходе исследования отмечается разграничение доверия органам власти (институциональное) и к участникам экономических отношений (межличностное), при этом второй тип доверия респонденты рассматривают как более значимый барьер развития кооперации. Установлено, что большинство респондентов опасаются мошеннических действий, недобросовестного поведения партнера при вступлении в кооператив. Россияне, отметившие улучшение материального положения после введения санкций, выразили более высокую готовность к организации кооператива.
Результаты регрессионного анализа показали отсутствие статистически значимой связи между готовностью населения к вступлению в потребительские кооперативы и оценкой роли доверия. Ключевыми аспектами, связанными с готовностью респондентов к участию в кооперативах, стали возможность заняться собственным бизнесом и объединение с единомышленниками. Полученные результаты иллюстрируют исторически сложившееся стремление россиян к коллективным формам экономической деятельности, ориентацию на консолидированное использование ресурсов, преобладание ценностей солидаризации. Кооперация в данном контексте может рассматриваться как возможность совмещения экономических и социальных ожиданий населения.

Abstract

Objectives
Vitamin D and K are believed to promote bone health, but existing evidence is controversial. This study aimed to measure several metabolites of both vitamins by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in a cohort of postmenopausal women with low and normal bone mineral density (BMD).

Methods
Vitamin metabolites (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (24,25(OH)2D), phylloquinone (K1), menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and MK-7) were measured in 131 serum samples by LC-MS/MS. The vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR) was calculated. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), type I procollagen-N-terminal-peptide (PINP) and C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTX-I) were measured by immunoassay. Dual X-ray absorptiometry was performed to identify participants with normal (T-score>−1) and low (T-score<−1) BMD.

Results
Mean age was 58.2±8.5 years. BMD was normal in 68 and low in 63 women. Median (interquartile range) for 25(OH)D and total vitamin K concentrations were 53.5 (39.6–65.9) nmol/L and 1.33 (0.99–2.39) nmol/L. All vitamin metabolites were comparable in individuals with normal and low BMD. Furthermore, BMD and trabecular bone score were comparable in participants with adequate and inadequate vitamin status (at least one criterion was met: 25(OH)D <50 nmol/L, 24,25(OH)2D <3 nmol/L, VMR <4 %, total vitamin K <0.91 nmol/L). PTH, but not PINP or CTX-I, was inversely correlated with 25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D and VMR. Synergistic effects between vitamin D and K were not observed.

Conclusions
Vitamin D and K status is not related to BMD and trabecular bone quality in postmenopausal women. Inverse associations were only seen between vitamin D metabolites and PTH.
