Abstract:

Disorders of the musculo-skeletal system are one of the main occupational diseases occurring in industrial countries and the number of reported cases is rapidly increasing, especially among the older age groups. Musculo-skeletal diseases can be influenced by a number of stress factors arising during physical work. The aim of this study is to identify the physical work stress factors, to which persons already suffering from musculo-skeletal diseases (patients at a rehabilitation center) have been exposed in their work, and, firstly, to examine whether these data can be used to predict the probability of future musculo-skeletal disorders in workers occupying this type of job, secondly, to determine how these factors interact with each other in the development of these disorders. Trained specialists in occupational medicine using a program called Medical Job-oriented Rehabilitation (MJOR), collected data on 6668 patients by means of a standardized checklist called Bavaria Rehabilitation Assessment Method (BRA). Analysis of the recursive binary partitioning trees revealed that 19 predictor variables corresponding to age and gender, plus repetitive operations, rotation in sedentary position, degree of hand force used and forced head/neck postures were good predictors for the disorders of the hand-/arm system, the cervico-brachial syndrome and the impingement syndrome of shoulder.

Abstract:

Background: Skeletal muscle relaxants are structurally distinct drugs prescribed for reducing muscle spasms, pain, and hyperreflexia. Centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxants are manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies with variable price. The present study, aimed to analyze the cost variation of various brands of centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxants, so as to help the physician to choose the cost effective treatment.Methods: Current index of medical stores (CIMS) April 2018 and online literature were used as information guide to review the prices of drugs used in the treatment of musculo skeletal pain and spastic neurological disorders.Results: Among anti spasmodic group, thiocolchicoside 4 mg shows maximum price variation of 337.5%, whereas carisoprodol 350 mg shows the least variation of 0.1%. It is evident from antispastic group that baclofen 10 mg shows maximum price variation of 93.91% and 5 mg of Baclofen shows the least variation of 11.22%. It is observed that, among anti spastic group, a percentage prize variation of 93.91 for 10 mg and 11.22 for 5 mg baclofen. Largest % prize variation is seen in metaxalone + diclofenac sodium (400+50) mg as 525% and the least variation is observed in tolperisone+ paracetamol (150+325) mg as 3.88%.Conclusions: Centrally acting orally effective skeletal muscle relaxants are commonly prescribed for painful musculoskeletal and spastic neurological disorders. Physicians should give due importance for the cost of the drugs while selecting appropriate drug for musculo skeletal disorders.

Abstract:

The nail unit is the largest cutaneous musculo-skeletal appendage. The management of nail disorders is an onerous task owing to the disease manifestations and anatomical structure of the nail plate. The topical treatment of nail infections/disorders has been a centerpiece of nail research in the past few decades as it offers a much safer and focused alternative to conventional oral therapy. However, transungual delivery had its challenges. This necessitated a lookout for novel approaches that enhanced treatment efficacy and reduced treatment time. Moreover, curing the nail condition using topical delivery has been challenging due to the lack of a validated animal model to determine the efficacy of the formulation and to establish a mathematical model that can help in predicting the desirable attributes of the formulation and permeation of various molecules through the nail plate. This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of nail anatomy and its disorders, factors affecting nail delivery, diagnostic procedures, current approaches, and promising approaches to treat nail infections/disorders including nail lacquers and the role of permeation enhancers, in-vitro models. This review also covers current available treatments and treatments under clinical trial. Keywords: Musculo-skeletal, Nail infection, Transungual, Mathematical model, In-vitro models.

Abstract:

Vitamin D Deficiency is a world-wide problem and it is defined as 25(OH)D3 level below 20 ng/ml. It contributes skeletal and non-skeletal health effects. Musculo-skeletal abnormalities along with non-skeletal health effects such as microbial infection, cardiovascular disorders, cancers, autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergy, endocrine and metabolic diseases, mental health etc are seen in Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is mostly under diagnosed or under attention topics or unaware matter to general population. It is mostly preventable and treatable condition that needs due attention to life-style modification, medication, self-awareness and campaign and further research.

Abstract:

This study was conducted at the Patuakhali Science and Technology University Veterinary Clinic, Babugonj, Barisal during the period from January 2008 to December 2011 to report the four years clinical diseases of ruminants. A total of 1241 clinical cases (793 cattle and 448 goats) were recorded and analyzed. Diagnosis of each of the clinical cases was made on clinical history, clinical signs, and faecal examination for parasitic cases. The clinical cases were primarily categorized into three major groups, namely, (1) Medicinal, (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical and (3) Surgical cases. Medicinal cases constituted highest percentage (cattle 84.1% and goats 81.0%) in comparison to gynaeco-obstetrical (cattle 4.7% and goats 1.1%) and surgical (cattle 11.2% and goats 17.9%) cases. Among the medicinal cases in cattle, highest percentage of cases was recorded with parasitic diseases (50.4%), followed by general systemic states (14.8%) and digestive disorders (14.2%). Other cases were respiratory disorders (5.5%), infectious diseases (4.6%), skin conditions (3.4%), eye disease (3.1%), urogenital disorders (1.5%), metabolic diseases (1.3%) and musculo-skeletal disorders (0.9%). In case of goats, the highest cases was recorded with digestive disorders (22.9%), followed by parasitic diseases (20.4%) and respiratory disorders (16.8%). Other Medicinal cases in goats were eye diseases (13.5%), infectious diseases (11.8%), general systemic states (9.6%), musculo-skeletal disorder (3.3%), skin diseases (0.8%) and nutritional deficiency diseases (0.8%). Among the gynaeco-obstetrical cases, anestrus (59.5%) in cattle and metritis (40.0%) in goats were recognized as the major gynaeco-obstetric problems. Traumatic wounds (cattle - 52.8%, goat - 28.8%) and castration (31.3%) in goats were recognized as the main disorders which required surgical interventions. It may be concluded that a number of diseases with various percentages have been occurring in the Babugonj upazila and this report will help to prioritize any control measures against major disease conditions reported in this study. However, it is required to estimate the prevalence of diseases in the population of that upazila to have more comprehensive information on the diseases of cattle and goat.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjvm.v10i1-2.15648

Abstract:

Background: Obesity is at a rising trend among the childhood age group and is a WHO priority on classification of non-communicable diseases. High income group countries once had a statistically higher percent of obesity problems which has been extended both to the developing and low- income countries. Prevalence rate of obesity in India vary between 11.8% to 31.3% and is higher among the women than men. Obesity also affects the physical and cardio-respiratory fitness thereby leading to a group of metabolic, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal disorders. An association between BMI, musculo-skeletal and cardio-respiratory fitness is less reported among the young adult girl population in the context of Indian professional students. Aim & Objectives: To assess few of the musculo-skeletal, cardio-respiratory parameters in relation to BMI among the young adult girl students of medical and dental colleges. Material & Methods: One hundred and seventy-one girl students in the range of 19 to 21 years were randomly selected from the educational institute of Sullia, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka and were assessed for BMI, muscular strength, handgrip strength, flexibility test, cardio-respiratory test and pulmonary function test by standard methods. Data was analysed. Results: Musculo-skeletal flexibility, strength, cardiorespiratory fitness and pulmonary functions have an inverse association when compared to the BMI and weight of the girl students. Conclusion: Obesity and overweight reduces the flexibility, musculoskeletal and cardio-respiratory fitness in addition to the pulmonary functions among the young adult girl population as confirmed by the battery of tests.

Abstract:

Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) have not only shown to impact the physical and pschycological comfort of the employee but also deteriorate the prospects of any production or service sector. The prevalence of WRMSDs, though studied extensively in various sectors, has been understudied in health sector, especially among doctors. This study which evaluated the prevalence and risk factors of these disorders among fifty cancer treating Radiation Oncologist at a Tertiary Care Cancer Centre in India had exposed out an alarming 68% prevalence of these disorders in the study population, with neck pain being the commonest site of these Muscloskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Several factors which could impact the development of MSDs were analysed. This higher incidence of MSDs is presumed to be because of extreme physical and mental stress of working in a high volume cancer care centre, persistent unhealthy postures during work, inadequate micropauses between works and uncomfortable working atmosphere. Adequate physician patient ratio, restricting the patient load, providing good physician friendly working environment and adequate mandatory breaks might significantly reduce the incidence of these disorders and can prevent the sagging of health care delivery.

Improving the ergonomy of working environments is essential to reducing work-related musculo-skeletal disorders. We consider real-time ergonomic feedback a key technology for achieving such improvements. To this end, we present supportive tools for online evaluation and visualization of strenuous efforts and postures of a worker, also when physically interacting with a robot. A digital human model is used to estimate human kinematics and dynamics and visualize non-ergonomic joint angles, based on the on-line data acquired from a wearable motion tracking device.

Abstract:

Issues concerning ergonomics have become central to office occupational safety and health due to the prevalence of work-related musculo-skeletal disorders which cause worker discomfort, disability, and loss of productivity. In Nigeria, upper extremities disorders such as wrist pains, pains in the upper back region, shoulder pains, ulna neuropathy, neck disorders, and eye syndrome are common epidemics among typists, secretaries, computer users and other related office jobs with negative socio-economic consequences. The purpose of this paper is to present the result of an investigation of the current office ergonomic situation of Katsina State Local Government offices in Nigeria with its implication for workers’ safety, health, and overall productivity. The methodology adopted is the qualitative strategy of inquiry using 210 questionnaires with a section having open-ended questions designed to ask respondents to speak their minds concerning the nature of ergonomic facilities of their offices, nature of office work policy (ergonomic policy) and their level of ergonomic awareness. Using thematic network analysis, the responses from that section of the questionnaire were organized into themes, patterns, and categories based on three deductive themes (ergonomic facilities, ergonomic policy, and ergonomic awareness) as key concepts in the investigation. From the analysis of the responses, it was found that the ergonomic scenario of Local Government offices in the Katsina State of Nigeria in terms of office facilities, office ergonomic (work) policy and level of ergonomic awareness are poor and that workers are exposed to the dangers of work-related musculo-skeletal disorders and other related occupational diseases. Despite the fact that the study area for this research was Local Government Offices in Katsina State, Nigeria, the findings and implications are relevant to other government offices in the country. Therefore, the conclusion of this study is that the office environment of Katsina State Local Governments in Nigeria needs to be improved for the general safety, health and overall productivity of the workers.

Abstract:

Human factors/ergonomics only occasionally addresses its own future, but business and political forces are changing so rapidly that we must do so now. Globalization of business, made possible by information technology and political desire, is affecting many aspects of our profession, from increased work pace to re-location of jobs. These changes in turn impact human factors issues as diverse as errors in human computer interaction and the incidence of musculo-skeletal disorders. This paper presents a framework for considering the impact of these changes on the practice of human factors/ergonomics so that we may plan for the future rather than be overwhelmed by it.

Abstract:

Leg disorders in male turkey breeding stock are associated with pain during locomotion (Duncan et al 1990). Musculo-skeletal diseases are prevalent in broiler breeder males and the experiment was designed to evaluate birds of two ages for evidence of pain during movement. Two experiments were conducted, the first examined differences in sexual motivation and the second the rate of walking towards a food reward. At the end of the experiment the birds were killed and the legs dissected to establish the presence of musculoskeletal disease.Commercial broiler breeder males were housed singly with 15 females in 4 rooms each containing 12 floor pens measuring 1.5 x 2.4 m. There were 24 males in each of two age groups (40 and 60 weeks at the start of the experiments). To determine sexual motivation, males were removed to an empty pen in a spare room. They were returned after 3-5 h and observed for 15 min. The time to make a sexual approach (AP) and to mount a female (MT), and the number of copulations were recorded on three different days. Subsequently, males were trained to walk through a 20 m long alley constructed of hardboard to receive their daily food allocation. During testing, the time taken to reach the food was recorded 3 times before the male was returned to its pen. The males in two rooms were used in a 2-period crossover experiment to evaluate the effects of naloxone (an opiate receptor antagonist) and three analgesics on walking speed (Table 1). All measurements of time were transformed to natural logarithms for analysis. A censored analysis was used for AP and MT. The total number of copulations observed (COP) was modelled using Poisson errors. The models included effects for age and day (where appropriate). The data were reanalysed with the lesion score as a fixed effect. The initial model for walking speed included period and carry over effects. Mixed model methods (REML) were used to assess the final model with birds as blocks and treatment and lesion as main effects.

Abstract:

The inflammatory Muscle-skeletal disorders are responsible for a high economic impact on public health and Pharmacological treatments produce important renal and gastric toxicity especially. However, the real effects of topical NSAID’s still controversial. Photobiomodulation therapy has been used to treat musculo-skeletal conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Photobiomodulation on topical absorption of sodium diclofenac in healthy volunteers. Methods. The volunteers were selected after an assessment of their state of health. The study began with 12 volunteers with dark skin and 12 white skin. The study was designed to determinate the pharmacokinetic parameters. The volunteers received during hospitalization 5g diclofenac gel in the presence or not of photobiomodulation, following the randomization. A Laser Cluster with 14 laser diodes (100 mW/diode) delivered 3 Joules of Energy/diode (spot area 0.028 Cm2). Blood samples were taken for determination of plasmatic diclofenac concentration (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 24h) by tandem mass spectrometry. Low Power Laser Therapy operating at a wavelength of 650 nm was effective to enhance the absorption of diclofenac emulgel in white-skinned individuals but not in black-skinned individuals. Maximum plasma concentrations were higher in the white-skinned group of volunteers who received low-power laser irradiation prior to drug application when compared to the placebo group.

Abstract:

An investigation was undertaken to determine the general clinical prevalence of diseases and disorders in cattle at the Upazilla Veterinary Hospital, Chauhali, Sirajganj during the period from January to December 2014. A total of 2646 clinical cases on cattle were recorded and analyzed. Diagnosis of each of the clinical cases was made on the basis of owner history, clinical examination and common laboratory techniques. The clinical cases were divided into three groups on the basis of treatment required viz. (1) Medicinal (2) Gynaeco-obstetrical and (3) Surgical cases. Among the three types of cases, medicinal cases constituted the highest percentage (79.33%) in comparison to gynaeco-obstetrical (11.60%) and surgical (9.07%) cases. Among the medicinal cases, the highest cases was recorded with parasitic diseases (55.97%), followed by infectious diseases (24.21%) and digestive disorders (10.34%). Other cases were general systemic states (3.91%), musculo-skeletal disorder (1.57%), skin condition (1.57%), metabolic diseases (1%), respiratory disorders (0.76%), sensory organ diseases (0.43%) and dog biting (0.24%). Among the gynaecoobstetrical cases, repeat breeding (42.35%), anestrous (31.60%), orchitis (9.77%), posthitis (5.86%), dystocia (4.89%) and retained placenta (4.23%) were recorded as major gynaecoobstetrical problems in cattle. Navel-ill (45%), myiasis (43.33%), abscess (6.25%) and fracture (3.34%) were recognized as the main disorders which required surgical interventions. Prevalence of diseases was high (39.38%) in summer season (March-June) followed by (34.73%) in winter (November-February) and lowest (25.89%) in rainy season (July-October). It may be concluded that a number of diseases with various percentages have been occurring in the Chauhali upazila and this report may help to develop control strategies against major diseases reported in this study.Res.

Abstract:

The work situation assessment at Peugeot Citröen has allowed a follow-up of specific ergonomic criteria, from designing to launching a vehicle. The part mounting is evaluated early at the design stage by a unique method, where work stations were assessed by the production center's local method until 1999. From this date, a unique method will replace these different evaluations. The medical indicators recorded from 1995 to 1999 showed a general decrease in MSDs on assembly lines, and variations linked to important reorganizations of the work conditions. These assessments allowed the company to put in place an inventory of ergonomic needs drawing on a definition of ergonomic aims. These aims are integrated into the specifications of the design and the industrialization of the vehicle. Consequently, results must be obtained. The follow up of Musculo Skeletal Disorders, combined with assessment results, were useful in auditing the achievement of the ergonomic targets on the shop floor. The «Vibration-Frequency» factors and the «Mental requirements» were not analyzed in the assessment tools.

Abstract:

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the morbidity pattern and health seeking behaviour among the rural elderly population. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in six villages of Telihati union of Gazipur District from February to June 2013. Purposive sampling technique was used to collected data from 249 respondents, aged 60 years and above. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 64.2 (SD±5.6) years. About 70.3% of the respondents were male, majority (47%) respondents were illiterate, 33.3% earned less then ten thousand taka per month. About half (58.2%) of the elderly were still working, among the currently not working respondents majority (49%) were totally dependent. and only 52.6% respondents belonged to joint family. Almost all (98.8%) the respondents had some health problems; among these eye problems (81.7%), musculo-skeletal disorders (66.3%), gastrointestinal disorders (52.4%) and sleeping problems (50.4%) were predominant. Females suffered more from eye problems, musculoskeletal disorder, gastrointestinal disorder and sleeping problems. On the other hand, males suffered more from respiratory and genitorurinary problems. About 61% have a Government hospital or Community clinic nearby their residence, 70 % were satisfied with available health care facilities and 72% was satisfied with treating doctors even then a greater part (35%) was irregular for check-up. Majority (73.5%) was regular about taking treatment, among the irregulars majority (77.3%) was for un-affordability of medicine. Only 53% of the elderly knew names of some old age diseases.
