Abstract:
Este estudo objetivou a adaptação transcultural do questionário Cultural Study of Musculo-Skeletal and Other Symptoms and Associated Disability - CUPID Questionnaire, para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil e a validação do seu conteúdo. O estudo é do tipo metodológico e foi realizado obedecendo aos procedimentos internacionais recomendados e aos procedimentos específicos indicados pelo autor do Questionário, uma vez que será aplicado em estudo multicêntrico por ele coordenado. A adaptação transcultural foi realizada seguindo as etapas de tradução, retrotradução, avaliação destas versões por um comitê de juízes e pré-teste da versão pré-final. O pré-teste foi realizado no Departamento de Enfermagem do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo com 40 trabalhadores de enfermagem. Ajustes foram feitos após a análise das traduções pelo comitê de juízes quando o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo foi inferior a 80%. A versão resultante do questionário foi então pré-testada para verificar a capacidade compreensão e preenchimento pelos sujeitos e a possibilidade de ajustes, considerando o indicativo de ajustes quando 15% destes apresentassem dificuldades em relação ao preenchimento. Os resultados do pré-teste apontam um número significativo de trabalhadores de enfermagem com dores em região lombar, ombro, cotovelo, punho e/ou mão e joelho, associados a sintomas psicossociais e demais incapacidades. A análise das respostas dos sujeitos aos itens do Questionário não evidenciou dificuldades de compreensão e entendimento na totalidade dos itens, indicando a validade de seu conteúdo para a língua portuguesa falada no Brasil. Conclui-se que a versão Brasileira do CUPID Questionnaire é um instrumento adequado para identificar os sintomas musculoesqueléticos, indicados pelos trabalhadores de enfermagem, relacionados às atividades ocupacionais, aspectos psicossociais e outras incapacidades associadas
The objective of this study was to adapt the Transcultural Questionnaire Cultural Study of Muscular-Skeletal and Other Symptoms and Associated Disability CUPID Questionnaire, to the Portuguese language spoken in Brazil and to validate its contents. This methodological study was performed in accordance with internationally recommended procedures and the specific procedures indicated by the Questionnaires author since it will be applied in a multicenter study coordinated by the author. The transcultural adaptation was performed following the steps of translation, back-translation, evaluation of these versions by a committee of judges and pre-test version of the pre-final. The pre-test was performed in the Nursing Department of University Hospital at the University of Sao Paulo with 40 nursing workers. Adjustments were made after an analysis of the translations by a committee of judges when an index of content validation was less than 80%. The resulting version of the questionnaire was then pre-tested to verify the capacity of comprehension and form completion by the subjects and the possibility of adjustments considering an adjustment indicator when 15% of them presented difficulty related to form completion. The results of this pre-test showed that a significant number of Nursing workers complained of pain in the regions of lumbar, shoulder, elbow, wrist and or hand and knee, symptoms associated with psychosocial and other disabilities. Analysis of the subjects responses to items of the questionnaire revealed no difficulty in the comprehension and total understanding of the items indicating a validity of its contents for the Portuguese language spoken in Brazil. It can be concluded that the Brazilian Version of the CUPID Questionnaire is an adequate instrument for the identification of musculoskeletal symptoms indicated by nursing workers related to occupational activities, psychosocial aspects and other associated incapacities

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Occupational exposure to wood dust and biohazards associated with wood dust (endotoxins, (1->3)-b-D-glucans, Gram (-)ve bacteria and fungi), their correlation to respiratory function, and symptoms among woodworkers have been investigated in the present study. Wood dust, endotoxins, and allergenic fungi are the main hazards found in woodworking environments. Relatively very few studies have been done on wood dust exposure. The present study was designed to comprehensively investigate the health effects of wood dust exposure, and in particular provide new information regarding: Exposure to (1->3)-b-D-glucans in an occupational environment; Levels of exposure to wood dust and biohazards associated with wood dust in different woodworking environments; Correlations among personal exposures, especially correlations between (1->3)-b-D-glucans and fungi exposures, and endotoxins and Gram (-)ve bacteria exposures; Effects of personal exposure to biohazards on lung function; Effects of personal exposure to biohazards on work-related symptoms; and Determinants of inhalable exposures (provide which factors in the environment influence the personal inhalable exposures). Workers at four different woodworking processes; two logging sites, four sawmills, one major woodchipping operation and five joineries situated in the state of New South Wales in Australia were studied for personal exposure to inhalable dust (n=182) and respirable dust (n=81), fungi (n=120), Gram (-)ve bacteria (n=120), inhalable endotoxin (n=160), respirable endotoxin (n=79), inhalable (1->3)-b-D-glucan (n=105), and respirable (1->3)-b-D-glucan (n=62). The workers (n=168) were also tested for lung function. A questionnaire study (n=195) was carried out to determine the prevalence of work-related symptoms. The geometric mean inhalable exposure at logging sites was 0.56 mg/m3 (n=7), sawmills 1.59 mg/m3 (n=93), the woodchipping mill 1.86 mg/m3 (n=9) and joineries 3.68 mg/m3 (n=66). Overall, sixty two percent of the exposures exceeded the current standards. Among joineries, 95% of the hardwood exposures and 35% of the softwood exposures were above the relevant standards. Compared with green mills, the percentage of samples, which exceeded the hardwood standard was high for dry mills (70% in dry mills, 50% in green mills). The respirable dust exposures were high at the joineries compared with the other worksites. Exposure levels to fungi at logging sites and sawmills were in the range 103-104 cfu/m3, woodchipping 103-105 cfu/m3 and joineries 102-104 cfu/m3. The predominant fungi found at sawmills were Penicillium spp. High exposure levels of Aureobasidium pullulans were also found at two sawmills. At the woodchipping mill the predominant species were Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium spp., and Paecilomyces spp. The sawmills, which employed kiln drying processes, had lower exposure levels of fungi compared with the green mills. Those workplaces which had efficient dust control systems showed less exposure to fungi and bacteria. Although mean endotoxin levels were lower than the suggested threshold value of 20 ng/m3, some personal exposures at sawmills and joineries exceeded the threshold limit value. The mean inhalable (1->3)-b-D-glucan level at the woodchipping mill was 2.32 ng/m3, at sawmills 1.37 ng/m3, at logging sites 2.02 ng/m3, and at joineries 0.43 ng/m3. For the respirable size fraction, mean endotoxin and mean (1->3)-b-D-glucan concentrations were much lower, being similar to observed dust concentrations. Significant correlations were found between mean inhalable endotoxin and Gram (-)ve bacteria levels (p<0.0001), and mean airborne inhalable (1->3)-b-D-glucan and fungi levels (p=0.0003). The correlations between mean respirable endotoxin levels vs Gram (-)ve bacteria exposure levels (p=0.005), and respirable (1->3)-b-D-glucan exposure levels vs total fungi levels (p=0.005) were also significant. Significant correlations were found between lung function and personal exposures. Multivariate analyses showed that the effect of all the personal exposures on cross-shift decrements in lung function was more prominent among sawmill and chip mill workers compared with joinery workers. Woodworkers had markedly high prevalence of cough, phlegm, chronic bronchitis, frequent headaches, throat and eye irritations, and nasal symptoms compared with controls. Among the woodworkers, smokers had a high prevalence of chronic bronchitis (20%) compared with non-smokers (10%). Some workers also reported a variety of allergy problems due to exposure to various types of wood dust. Both joinery workers and sawmill and chip mill workers revealed significant correlations between work-related symptoms and personal exposures. Chronic bronchitis was significantly correlated with personal exposure to wood dust, endotoxin, (1->3)-b-D-glucan, fungi, and Gram (-)ve bacteria among joinery workers. Whereas among sawmill workers chronic bronchitis was significantly correlated with personal exposure to endotoxin, (1->3)-b-D-glucan, and fungi. Woodworkers showed significant positive correlations between percentage cross-shift change (decrease) in lung function and respiratory symptoms. Significant inverse correlations were also found among percentage predicted lung function and respiratory symptoms. The elevated inhalable dust exposures observed in this study can be explained by a combination of factors, including: lack of awareness of potential health effects of wood dust exposure among both management and workers, aging equipment, inadequate and ineffective dust extraction systems or usually none especially for hand held tools, poor maintenance of the ventilation system in some, non-segregation of dusty processes, dry sweeping, and the use of compressed air jets. The determinant-of-exposure analysis confirmed the field observations. The significant determinants of personal inhalable dust exposures (n=163) were found to be: local exhaust ventilation, job title, use of hand-held tools, cleaning method used, use of compressed air, and green or dry wood processed. Type of wood processed was not found to be statistically significant. A majority of workers (~90%) did not wear appropriate respirators approved for wood dust, while the workers who did wear them, used them on average less than 50% of the time. Workers should be protected by controlling dust at its source. When exposure to wood dust cannot be avoided, engineering controls should be supplemented with the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Abstract:
Background: Research on multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more health-related conditions, has mainly focused on chronic and common diseases in patient and older populations. The prevalence of multimorbidity in workers and its effect on occupationally relevant outcomes is poorly known. Methods: We computed baseline multimorbidity scores using severity-weighted chronic conditions based on: 1) the relationship between chronic conditions, health-related behaviors and symptoms, and 2) their individual influence on poor health status. Next, we assessed the longitudinal effect of multimorbidity on the incidence and duration of overall and diagnosis-specific sickness absence, as well as on work functioning after return to work from a sickness absence episode. Results: Among men, higher baseline multimorbidity was a risk factor for overall incident sickness absence and episodes due to musculoskeletal and cardiovascular diseases. In women, the trend was less evident, although mental disorders had the strongest association. Associations with sickness absence duration were less consistent. Higher multimorbidity negatively impacted work functioning over time. Conclusion: Multimorbidity affects occupational outcomes, such as sickness absence, and its measurement may allow the early detection of workers coping with unbalanced health-related limitations and work demands.
Antecedents: La recerca sobre multimorbiditat, la coexistència de dues o meés condicions relacionades amb la salut, s’ha enfocat principalment a poblacions de pacients i de major edat. La prevalença de multimorbilitat entre treballadors, i el seu efectes sobre indicadors rellevants per a la salut ocupacional, no està gaire estudiada. Mètodes: Partint de dades de dues poblacions treballadores, vam calcular puntuacions de multimorbilitat ponderades per la seva severitat considerant: 1) la interrelació entre condicions cròniques, hàbits relacionats amb la salut i símptomes, 2) l’efecte de cada condició crònica sobre el mal estat de salut general. Seguidament, vam avaluar l’efecte longitudinal de la multimobilitat basal en la incidència i durada del total d’episodis d’incapacitat temporal, d’episodis per diagnòstics específics, així com en la capacitat d’assolir les demandes laborals un cop retornat d’una incapacitat temporal. Resultats: Pels homes, la multimorbiditat alta va ser un factor de risc tant pel total d’episodis d’incapacitat temporal com per aquells deguts a trastorns musculoesquelètics i malalties cardiovasculars. Per a les dones aquesta tendència va ser menys clara, malgrat que els episodis deguts a trastorns mentals van mostrar l’associació més evident. L’associació amb la durada dels episodis va ser menys consistent. La multimorbilitat alta es va associar negativament a la capacitat per assolir les demandes laborals, al llarg del temps, i un cop tornat al treball desprès d’una incapacitat temporal. Conclusió: La multimorbiditat té efectes sobre indicadors de salut laboral. Mesurar-la permetria la detecció precoç de treballadors que s’enfronten a un desequilibri entre les limitacions relacionades amb la salut i les demandes laborals, i que estan a risc d’un episodi d’incapacitat temporal.

A identificação da prevalência de sintomatologia de LMELT, assim como a consequente necessidade de intervenção preventiva, foram estudadas numa indústria em 2010. Realizou-se uma análise do trabalho para identificar a exposição aos factores de risco de LMELT. Utilizou-se adaptação do QNM para identificar a prevalência de sintomas de LMELT. Efectuou-se formação sobre LMELT. A amostra (n=59) foi maioritariamente feminina (94,9%). A prevalência mais elevada de sintomatologia nos últimos 12 meses situou-se na região lombar (52,5%), e nos últimos 7 dias na coluna dorsal (33,9%). Os resultados identificam associações significativas entre a repetitividade gestual (1) dos braços e cotovelos com as queixas a nível do pescoço (p=0,013) e ombro direito (p=0,004); e das mãos e dedos com (2) punho e mão esquerda (p=0,024) e punho e mão direita (p=0,000). Relativamente à intervenção sócio-organizacional, efectuada com recurso à formação em LMELT, observou-se um impacto positivo com 81,30% de boa e excelente apreciação; ABSTRACT: The identification of prevalence of symptoms of WRMSDs as well as the consequent need for preventive intervention was studied in a Lisbon industry in 2010. It was conducted a job analysis to identify the exposure to risk factors for WRMSDs. It was used adaptation of NMQ to identify the prevalence of symptoms of WRMSDs. It was carried out training on WRMSDs. The sample (n = 59) was mostly female (94.9%). The higher prevalence of symptoms in the last 12 months was located in the lumbar region (52.5%), and in the last 7 days in the spine (33.9%). The results indicate significant associations between the gestural repetition (1) of the arms and elbows with complaints at the neck region (p = 0.013) and right shoulder (p = 0.004), and hands and fingers (2) wrist and left hand (p = 0.024) and wrist and hand (p = 0.000). Relatively to the socio-organizational intervention, made using the WRMSDs training, it was observed a positive impact with 81.30% of good and excellent evaluations.

Abstract:
The current study investigated a model explaining sexual assault victims’ severity of trauma symptoms that incorporated multiple stigma constructs. Integrating the sexual assault literature with the stigma literature, this study sought to better understand trauma-related outcomes of sexual assault by examining three levels of stigma—cultural, social, and self. Results showed self-stigma was significantly and positively related to trauma symptom severity. Thus, results revealed that the internalized aspect of stigma served as a mechanism in the relation between sexual assault severity and increased levels of trauma symptom severity, highlighting the importance of assessing self-stigma in women reporting sexual assault experiences.

Abstract:
Depression is a serious public health concern and leading cause of global disability; in the U.S., it is estimated that over 35 million individuals suffer from depression. Health-related dysfunction, including impairment and poor quality of life, are often associated with depressive symptoms; however, little research has examined the interrelationships between these factors. Functional impairment, or the experience of difficulty conducting necessary activities of daily living, may contribute to emotional distress directly but may also impact perceived quality of life. Health-related quality of life (HRQL), which is conceptualized as a holistic and subjective perception of one’s physical and mental quality of life, is a wellestablished indicator of overall general health. Given the dearth of research examining the linkages between these variables, we hypothesized that greater levels of functional impairment would be positively related to depressive symptoms and that physical and mental HRQL would mediate this association, such that greater functional impairment would be associated with poorer mental and physical HRQL and, in turn, to greater depressive symptoms. Our sample (N=100; 70.3% female (N=71); 93% Caucasian (N=94); Mean Age = 42.18, SD = 12.83) was recruited from a rural, Southern Appalachian primary care clinic serving working and uninsured patients. Participants completed self-report measures: Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale - Brief, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Simple mediation analyses, consistent with Preacher and Hayes, were conducted covarying age, sex and ethnicity. In support of our hypothesis, the direct effect of functional impairment on depressive symptoms decreased but remained significant (DE=-1.39, SE=.66, p=.03) when mental HRQL was included as a mediator (IE lower 95% CI=-3.27, upper 95% CI=-.877), indicating partial mediation. In addition, the direct effect of functional impairment on depressive symptoms fell out of significance (DE=-1.18, SE=.33, p=.15) when physical HRQL was included as a mediator (IE lower 95% CI=-3.79, upper 95% CI=-.83), indicating full mediation. Our findings suggest that individuals experiencing functional limitations are less likely to report good mental and physical HRQL and, in turn, endorse higher levels of depressive symptoms. Our findings may have clinical implications; therapeutic enhancement of coping skills and problem-solving strategies may reduce psychological distress, whereas engagement with social and instrumental support networks may provide assistance with physical limits, thereby reducing risk for depressive symptoms in individuals experiencing functional impairment.

Abstract:
Psychosis has probably affected humans since the start of humanity itself, although the construct of schizophrenia is a relatively new phenomenon, dating back to the nineteenth century. Work by Emil Kraepelin and Eugen Bleuler helped consolidate ideas about psychotic disorders, setting the stage for both clinical care and neuroscience research in subsequent centuries. Phenomenologically, psychotic symptoms range from “positive” symptoms (delusions, hallucinations), to “negative” symptoms (avolition, affective blunting), to “disorganization” symptoms (disorganized speech and behavior), which all combine to produce functional deficits. Different psychotic disorders have different combinations of symptoms, which can combine with mood and anxiety symptoms to affect functioning problems in unique ways. These symptoms can be recognized fairly reliably in individuals. Understanding the inner experience of psychosis can help improve patient-centered care.

Full text
Abstract:
Horizontality is a salient social phenomenon of the last decade. It asserts itself against hierarchies in social movements and countless other collective practices around the world. It constitutes a characteristic of an emergent sociality that demands the attention of the social sciences. The 2010s are a moment as important as “the Sixties”, a time when Ivan Illich called for the development of tools of conviviality, and horizontality may be categorized as one of them. Today’s horizontality may be related to that of populations that have been the focus of anthropologists interested in their longstanding propensity to work against the affirmation of the authority of commanding. Public squares, roundabouts, and the courtyards of apartment buildings welcome the early symptoms of democratic experimentation that circulates also among groups, collectivities, and associations with varied purposes. In all these places, equality asserts itself and cuts across differences. The Yellow Vests and an educational cooperative in São Paulo are the empirical foundation of this study.

Full text
Abstract:
Wilt and crown rot are two important diseases of tomato caused by different strains ("formae speciales") of the fungus, Fusarium oxysporum. While both pathogens are members of the same fungal species, each differs genetically and resistance to the diseases is controlled by different genes in the plant. Additionally, the formae speciales differ in their ecology (e.g. optimal temperature of disease development) and epidemiology. Nevertheless, the distinction between these diseases based on symptoms alone may be unclear due to overlapping symptomatology. We have found in our research that the ambiguity of the pathogens is further confounded because strains causing tomato wilt or crown rot each may belong to several genetically and phylogenetically distinct lineages of F. oxysporum. Furthermore, individual lineages of the pathogen causing wilt or crown rot may themselves be very closely related. The diseases share the characteristic that the pathogen's inoculum may be aerially dispersed. This work has revealed a complex evolutionary relationship among lineages of the pathogens that makes development of molecular diagnostic methods more difficult than originally anticipated. However, the degree of diversity found in these soil-borne pathogens has allowed study of their population genetics and patterns of dispersal in agricultural settings.
