Background: Dentists are prone for chronic pain especially neck and back pain owing to the following risk factors as a part of their practice-repetitive movements, maintenance of awkward body postures for a long time and tasks that require fine motor skills and close visual focus. The term - Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs), which result from poor ergonomics, refers to conditions that involve the nerves, tendons, muscles and supporting structures of the body.Methods: 248 dentists in Bangalore were asked to respond to a questionnaire about their practice pattern (years of practice, hours of work, specialization, two-handed/four handed dentistry, use of magnifications etc), their general lifestyle including exercise, fitness patterns, prevalence of MSDs and their general awareness regarding MSDs. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate analysis and Chi-square tests.Results: In our study 95.16% (n=236) and 90.32% (n=224) respondents reported MSDs in the past and in the previous 12 months of the study respectively. 54.84% (n=136) reported at least one episode of backache, 51.61% (n=128) reported neck pain, 19.35% (n=48) reported pain in the shoulder and 32.25% (n=80) reported pain in the wrist and/or hand in the previous 12 months. Our study found considerable influence of the hours of work, use of assistant and magnification on Backache, Neck pain and wrist/hand pain.Conclusions: Work-related pain being common and multifactorial, any possible solution should also be multifactorial and can be managed effectively using a multifaceted approach and the strategies for prevention and care are also discussed.

This study's objective was to identify the types of workload accruing from agricultural work that are recognized by farmworkers and to verify occupational accidents in two rural environments. This quantitative, exploratory and descriptive study was conducted with 259 farmworkers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, Person's Chi-Square test, and coefficient of contingency were used. The workloads most frequently reported by farmers were heat, fungi, chemicals, dust, repetitive movements, heavy load-lifting, and inappropriate postures. Most accidents occurred with farm implements followed by falls. Significant associations were found among different isntruments and accidents. The results suggest the need for investment in health actions in rural environments to prevent or minimize work-related accidents and diseases so that nurses can contribute in a broad and efficient manner.

Objectives: To find out relationship between the bow position when using a cell phone and neck pain. Methods: This study is an analytic-observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used simple random sampling technique. The data will be analyze using chi-square statistical test. In which the p-value < 0.05 is significant. Results: There is a relationship between the bow position when using a cell phone to neck pain with p-value 0.045. On the other test, there is no relationship between the duration of cell phone use and neck pain, both in one use (p = 0.509) and in a day (p = 0.729). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the bow position when using a cell phone and neck pain. Keywords: neck pain, cell phone, bowing position   Latar Belakang: Nyeri tengkuk adalah rasa nyeri yang meliputi kelainan saraf, tendon, otot dan ligamen di sekitar leher. Salah satu penyebab dari nyeri tengkuk adalah posisi tubuh yang salah sehingga membuat leher berada dalam posisi tertentu dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Pada penggunaan telepon seluler akan terjadi proses perubahan posisi leher, yang mana posisi kepala akan menunduk untuk melihat ke arah layar telepon seluler dan dipertahankan dalam waktu yang relatif lama, sehingga menimbulkan masalah otot yang apabila dibiarkan dapat menjadi nyeri otot kronis. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi menunduk saat menggunakan telepon seluler dengan nyeri tengkuk. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik-observasional dengan desain cross-sectional. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik simple random sampling. Hasil pengukuran akan dianalisis menggunakan uji chi-square. Nilai p < 0,05 dianggap signifikan. Hasil: Terdapat hubungan antara posisi menunduk saat menggunakan telepon seluler terhadap nyeri tengkuk dengan nilai P = 0,045. Pada uji hubungan lainnya tidak ada hubungan antara durasi penggunaan telepon seluler terhadap nyeri tengkuk baik dalam sekali penggunaan (P = 0,509) maupun dalam sehari penggunaan (P = 0,729). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara posisi menunduk saat menggunakan telepon seluler dengan nyeri tengkuk. Kata Kunci: nyeri tengkuk, telepon seluler, posisi menunduk

OBJECTIVEIntraoperative seizures during craniotomy with functional mapping is a common complication that impedes optimal tumor resection and results in significant morbidity. The relationship between genetic mutations in gliomas and the incidence of intraoperative seizures has not been well characterized. Here, the authors performed a retrospective study of patients treated at their institution over the last 12 years to determine whether molecular data can be used to predict the incidence of this complication.METHODSThe authors queried their institutional database for patients with brain tumors who underwent resection with intraoperative functional mapping between 2005 and 2017. Basic clinicopathological characteristics, including the status of the following genes, were recorded: IDH1/2, PIK3CA, BRAF, KRAS, AKT1, EGFR, PDGFRA, MET, MGMT, and 1p/19q. Relationships between gene alterations and intraoperative seizures were evaluated using chi-square and two-sample t-test univariate analysis. When considering multiple predictive factors, a logistic multivariate approach was taken.RESULTSOverall, 416 patients met criteria for inclusion; of these patients, 98 (24%) experienced an intraoperative seizure. Patients with a history of preoperative seizure and those treated with antiepileptic drugs prior to surgery were less likely to have intraoperative seizures (history: OR 0.61 [95% CI 0.38–0.96], chi-square = 4.65, p = 0.03; AED load: OR 0.46 [95% CI 0.26–0.80], chi-square = 7.64, p = 0.01). In a univariate analysis of genetic markers, amplification of genes encoding receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) was specifically identified as a positive predictor of seizures (OR 5.47 [95% CI 1.22–24.47], chi-square = 5.98, p = 0.01). In multivariate analyses considering RTK status, AED use, and either 2007 WHO tumor grade or modern 2016 WHO tumor groups, the authors found that amplification of the RTK proto-oncogene, MET, was most predictive of intraoperative seizure (p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSThis study describes a previously unreported association between genetic alterations in RTKs and the occurrence of intraoperative seizures during glioma resection with functional mapping. Future models estimating intraoperative seizure risk may be enhanced by inclusion of genetic criteria.

⋄ Objective Loss of residual renal function (RRF) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is a powerful predictor of mortality. The present study was conducted to determine the predictors of faster decline of RRF in PD patients in Taiwan. ⋄ Methods The study enrolled 270 patients starting PD between January 1996 and December 2005 in a single hospital in Taiwan. We calculated RRF as the mean of the sum of 24-hour urea and creatinine clearance. The slope of the decline of residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was the main outcome measure. Data on demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment parameters; episodes of peritonitis; and hypotensive events were analyzed by Student t-test, Mann–Whitney U-test, and chi-square, as appropriate. All variables with statistical significance were included in a multivariate linear regression model to select the best predictors ( p < 0.05) for faster decline of residual GFR. ⋄ Results All patients commencing PD during the study period were followed for 39.4 ± 24.0 months (median: 35.5 months). The average annual rate of decline of residual GFR was 1.377 ± 1.47 mL/min/m2. On multivariate analysis, presence of diabetes mellitus ( p < 0.001), higher baseline residual GFR ( p < 0.001), hypotensive events ( p = 0.001), use of diuretics ( p = 0.002), and episodes of peritonitis ( p = 0.043) independently predicted faster decline of residual GFR. Male sex, old age, larger body mass index, and presence of coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure were also risk factors on univariate analysis. ⋄ Conclusions Our results suggested that diabetes mellitus, higher baseline residual GFR, hypotensive events, and use of diuretics are independently associated with faster decline of residual GFR in PD patients in Taiwan.
