Health problems in agricultural workers occupationally exposed to pesticides.

Agricultural workers are susceptible to several health problems as a result of occupational exposure to toxic substances, especially pesticides. The aim of this review was to describe the health issues associated with occupational exposure to pesticides in agricultural workers. A descriptive study, in the form of an integrative literature review, was conducted based on articles retrieved from the LILACS, SciELO and PubMed databases, published between January 2015 and October 2018. The searches were conducted using the keywords "pesticides," "workers' health," "occupational exposure" and "agric

Evaluation of Exposure to Toluene and Xylene in Gasoline Station Workers.

The main volatile organic compounds found at gasoline stations are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers (BTEX). They cause several harmful effects on human health. Regulatory Norm 7 (1978) provides that, in Brazil, biological monitoring of toluene and xylene is carried out by measuring the urinary metabolites hippuric acid (HA) and methylhippuric acid (MHA), respectively. The objective of this study was to assess the exposure to toluene and xylene and to identify related signs and symptoms in gasoline station workers. A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted with wor

Carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is one of the most common peripheral neuropathies. It affects mainly middle aged women. In the majority of patients the exact cause and pathogenesis of CTS is unclear. Although several occupations have been linked to increased incidence and prevalence of CTS the evidence is not clear. Occupational CTS is uncommon and it is essential to exclude all other causes particularly the intrinsic factors such as obesity before attributing it to occupation. The risk of CTS is high in occupations involving exposure to high pressure, high force, repetitive work, and vibrating tools.

Decoding Cancer Risk: Understanding Gene-Environment Interactions in Cancer Development.

While lifestyle choices or behavioral patterns remain the most significant factors influencing cancer risk, environmental exposure to certain chemicals, both manufactured and natural, may also contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing cancer. This interplay of factors, coupled with an aging demographic and shifting lifestyle patterns, has led to an increasing prevalence of cancer in recent years. This study examines the environmental and behavioral factors that contribute to anomalies in the immune system and increase the risk of developing cancer. Significant environmental and oc

Resilience and Sub-optimal Social Determinants of Health: Fostering Organizational Resilience in the Medical Profession.

The relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and resilience has been investigated at the individual level and, to some extent, at the community level.

Advances in Molecular Regulation of Prostate Cancer Cells by Top Natural Products of Malaysia.

Prostate cancer (PCa) remains both a global health burden and a scientific challenge. We present a review of the molecular targets driving current drug discovery to fight this disease. Moreover, the preventable nature of most PCa cases represents an opportunity for phytochemicals as chemopreventive when adequately integrated into nutritional interventions. With a renovated interest in natural remedies as a commodity and their essential role in cancer drug discovery, Malaysia is looking towards capitalizing on its mega biodiversity, which includes the oldest rainforest in the world and an estim

Circadian rhythms and cancers: the intrinsic links and therapeutic potentials.

The circadian rhythm is an evolutionarily conserved time-keeping system that comprises a wide variety of processes including sleep-wake cycles, eating-fasting cycles, and activity-rest cycles, coordinating the behavior and physiology of all organs for whole-body homeostasis. Acute disruption of circadian rhythm may lead to transient discomfort, whereas long-term irregular circadian rhythm will result in the dysfunction of the organism, therefore increasing the risks of numerous diseases especially cancers. Indeed, both epidemiological and experimental evidence has demonstrated the intrinsic li

Rotating Nightshift Work and Hematopoietic Cancer Risk in US Female Nurses.

BACKGROUND: Nightshift work is a plausible risk factor for hematologic cancer, but epidemiological evidence remains sparse, especially for individual subtypes. We prospectively examined the association of rotating nightshift work with hematopoietic cancer risk. METHODS: This cohort study included US women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS: n = 76 846, 1988-2012) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII: n = 113 087, 1989-2013). Rotating nightshift work duration was assessed at baseline (both cohorts) and cumulatively updated (NHSII). Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95%

A geriatrician's approach to managing the complex older adult with obesity.

The prevalence of obesity in older adults is rapidly increasing due to the demographic shift occurring globally. Older adults with obesity face health care challenges due to multimorbidity, functional dependency, and disability. This population often has prior history of struggles through weight-loss attempts during the middle years of life. Therefore, weight-loss intervention needs a personalized approach, taking into consideration weight-loss attempts, relapse, and life events, including bariatric surgery, functional limitations, psychosocial status, and current residential environment. Raci

Мелатонин за пределами хронобиологии: интеграция фармакокинетики, прогнозирование дозы и клинические данные.

Мелатонин установлен в качестве регулятора времени и сна в циркадиане, в то время как более широкий спектр зависящих от рецептора и независимых от рецептора биологических эффектов вызвал интерес к дополнительным видам терапевтического применения. В этом обзоре критически рассматривается вопрос о том, можно ли интерпретировать эти предлагаемые последствия в фармакологических рамках, основанных на воздействии. Мы интегрируем недавние доклинические и клинические данные с фармакокинетиками перорального и внутривенного мелатонина и с обычным дифференциальном уравнением (ОДВ) - прогнозом воздействия

Citizen participation in patient prioritization policy decisions: an empirical and experimental study on patients' characteristics.

Health systems worldwide are grappling with the need to control costs to maintain system viability. With the combination of worsening economic conditions, an aging population and reductions in tax revenues, the pressures to make structural changes are expected to continue growing. Common cost control mechanisms, e.g. curtailment of patient access and treatment prioritization, are likely to be adversely viewed by citizens. It seems therefore wise to include them in the decision making processes that lead up to policy changes. In the context of a multilevel iterative mixed-method design a quanti
