The Temple

Bali is known as the island of a thousand temples. Temple builders had to cut hard rock and assemble them. Musculoskeletal complaints often experienced among the workers. The purpose of the study was to find out the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints on the temple builders at Tamblang Village.This research was using a cross-sectional study and the results were analyzed descriptively. Respondents were 32 temple builders as assemblers and stonecutter at Tamblang Village. Respondents were requested to filled Nordic Body Map questionnaire. The result showed that musculoskeletal complaints on assemblers are on the waist 75%, right and left elbow joints 45.8%, right and left shoulder 41.7%, and wrist 37.5%. Musculoskeletal complaints on locomotor are on knee 29.2%, calf 12.5% and ankle 25%. Musculoskeletal complaints on stonecutter are on the waist, arm, shoulder, neck, elbow, and back. Musculoskeletal complaints on locomotor are on knee 62.5%, calf 62.5%, and ankle 50%. Most of respondents complaint about elbow, wrist, waist, knee, and ankle.Other complaint on temple builders is on the respiratory system, nervous system, and others.15.6% of assemblers said tightness, and 6.25% of stonecutter. The nose complaint on assemblers is 3.1%. The numbness complaint on stone cutter is 6.25%. Other complaint is on the eye and chest, experienced only on assemblers as much as 6.25% of respondents

The Impact

Occupational therapists (OTs) are exposed to physical factors at work, which can lead to an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Most studies examining musculoskeletal complaints in OT report that the neck, shoulders, and lower back are most often afflicted. The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of work as an OT (focusing on specific work tasks) on specific musculoskeletal complaints compared to the general working population. A cross-sectional study involving a self-administered standardized questionnaire was conducted from January until October 2015 in Germany. In OT and the comparison group, the highest 12-month prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders were observed for the lower back, the neck, and the shoulders. In contrast, elevated prevalence ratios (PR) were found for OT in the thumbs (PR = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.9–3.8), the wrists (PR = 1.4; 95% CI = 1.1–1.8), and the elbows (PR = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.0–2.2). OTs were particularly exposed to high exertion hand activity and several stressful postures at work. In conclusion, OTs seem to be at risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal complaints in the thumbs, wrists, and elbows. Preventive measures should help to reduce the exposures caused by highly repetitive and forceful hand activities.

Background: Congenital abnormalities are diseases that occur during fertilization of the egg or development of the fetus and lead to disability, illness or mortality. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the factors associated with fetomaternal abnormalities in therapeutic abortions.                                                                                       Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 391 mothers referred to Yazd legal medicine organization for pregnancy termination from March 2017 to March 2020. The data about their fetuses were extracted and recorded. Results:The most common fetal abnormalities observed in this study were central nervous system abnormalities (21.1%), subsequently chromosomal disorders (16.8%), hydropsfetalis, cystic hygroma (15.9%), syndromic disorders (10.1%), single-gene disorders (8.1%), dysmorphology (8.1%), musculoskeletal disorders (7.8%), and cardiovascular disorders (7.2%). Conclusion: The main maternal causes for therapeutic abortion were cardiovascular disease, kidney diseases and cancers, while the most common fetal disorders leading to therapeutic abortion were central nervous system disorders such as anencephaly.

ObjectiveTo assess the 5-year changes in the adult medical use of central nervous system (CNS) stimulants with higher risk of dependence and evaluate the population characteristics of users and their medical and/or neurological conditions.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingAnnual US Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, a stratified random sample of approximately 30 000 persons designed to produce national population estimates. It focuses on reported medical spending, medical services used, health status and prescription medications.ParticipantsAdults age 19 years and older who reported obtaining one or more prescriptions for amphetamine or methylphenidate products during two survey years, 2013 and 2018.Main outcomes measuresPrescriptions obtained, the specific stimulant product and annual treatment days of drug supplied.ResultsIn 2018, an estimated 4.1 million US adults (95% CI 3.4 million to 4.8 million) reported prescriptions for CNS stimulants, having filled a mean of 7.3 (95% CI 6.8 to 7.8) prescriptions with a mean of 226 (95% CI 210 to 242) days’ supply. Compared with 2013, the estimated number of adults reporting using CNS stimulants in 2018 increased by 1.8 million (95% CI 1.0 million to 2.7 million) or 79.8%. Most 2018 adult stimulant users reported taking psychoactive medication for one or more mental, behavioural or neurodevelopment disorders. Overall, 77.8% (95% CI 72.6% to 83.0%) reported some medication for adult attention deficit disorder, 26.8% (95% CI 22.2% to 31.5%) took medication for anxiety, 25.1% (95% CI 19.9% to 30.3%) for depression and 15.3% (95% CI 9.8% to 20.8%) indicated drug treatment for other mental or neurological disorders. Adult CNS stimulant use was higher in females, in younger age cohorts and among individuals of white race/ethnicity.ConclusionsAdult medical use of prescription stimulants increased markedly in 5 years and occurred in a population often reporting multiple mental or neurological disorders. Further action is needed to understand and manage this new resurgence in drugs with high risks of dependence.
