2022/06/18 | National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

Immunogenetic as well as environmental and occupational exposures have been linked to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), RA-associated lung disease, and other primary lung disorders. Importantly, various inhalants can trigger post-translational protein modifications, resulting in lung autoantigen expression capable of stimulating pro-inf ...

Importantly, various inhalants can trigger post-translational protein modifications, resulting in lung autoantigen expression capable of stimulating pro-inflammatory and/or pro-fibrotic immune responses. To further elucidate gene-environment interactions contributing to pathologic lung inflammation, we exploited an established model of organic dust extract (ODE) exposure with and without collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in C57BL/6 wild type (WT) versus HLA-DR4 transgenic mice. ODE-induced airway infiltration driven by neutrophils was significantly increased in DR4 versus WT mice, with corresponding increases in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-33. Lung histopathology demonstrated increased number of ectopic lymphoid aggregates comprised of T and B cells following ODE exposure in DR4 mice. ODE also induced citrullination, malondialdehyde acetaldehyde (MAA) modification, and vimentin expression that co-localized with MAA and was enhanced in DR4 mice. Serum and BALF anti-MAA antibodies were strikingly increased in ODE-treated DR4 mice. Coupling ODE exposure with Type II collagen immunization (CIA) resulted in similarly augmented pro-inflammatory lung profiles in DR4 mice (relative to WT mice) that was accompanied by a profound increase in infiltrating lung CD4+ and CD8+ T cells as well as CD19+CD11b+ autoimmune B cells. Neither modeling strategy induced significant arthritis. These findings support a model in which environmental insults trigger enhanced post-translational protein modification and lung inflammation sharing immunopathological features with RA-associated lung disease in the selected immunogenetic background of HLA-DR4 mice.

TY - Thesis AU - Carmona JT AB - Background: Studies have reported that Agricultural workers have elevated rates of respiratory health issues; however, the literature on respiratory function in dairy workers is limited and contradictory. Dairy work involves more exposure to dust and gases when compared to other occupations. Dairy workers work in a variety of settings, including increasingly larger and more industrialized farms that involve exposure to multiple biological and chemical substances. Previous studies of dairy workers have reported that dairy work is associated with acute airway obstruction, yet others have reported lower rates of asthma compared to other occupational groups. This thesis presents preliminary data from a study of dairy workers in Washington State. Objective: Compare and assess pulmonary function among dairy workers and community controls. Methods: Respiratory function was assessed in 40 dairy workers and 22 community controls over a 6-month period. Subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire, spirometry and exhaled nitric oxide at baseline, three, and six months. Descriptive statistics were used to describe both dependent and independent variables. Linear Mixed Models were used to compare exhaled nitric oxide, FEV1, FVC, and the FEV1/FVC Ratio between cases and controls. Results: The dairy workers had a significantly (5.93%) higher FEV1/FVC ratio than the community controls (p=0.009). Within the dairy workers, those who had greater contact with animals had slightly better FEV1/FVC ratio (0.33% for contact with cows, 1.31% for contact with calves) compared to the dairy workers with minimal to no contact with animals. CONCLUSION: The spirometry FEV1/FVC ratio for dairy workers can suggest that dairy workers may have better airway function compared to community members.

TY - Journal Article AU - Benavides FG AU - Calvo-Bonacho E AU - Delclos GL AU - Gimeno D AU - Ubalde-Lopez M AB - Background: As the world's population ages, the prevalence of multiple chronic and non-chronic health-related conditions is increasing. Research on multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of two or more health-related conditions, has mainly involved patient and older populations. Its effect in working populations, presumably younger and healthier, is not well known but could conceivably affect sickness absence (SA) and ability to return to work. Aims: To examine the effect of multimorbidity on the incidence and duration of SA episodes by frequent diagnostic groups. Methods: A prospective study (in 2006-2008) of workers in Spain. Information on health-related conditions was gathered with a standardized questionnaire and used to construct a sex-specific multidimensional multimorbidity score (MDMS). In order to estimate the effect of MDMS on incidence and duration of SA episodes due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and mental health disorders (MHD), we fitted Cox models adjusted by age, occupational social class and number of prior SA episodes for both sexes. Results: The study population was 372,370. Men with high MDMS showed a trend towards higher incidence risk for SA due to CVD and MSD [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 2.03; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48-2.78 and aHR = 1.20; 95% CI 1.01-1.43, respectively]. Women showed a similar trend for MSD, but MHD had the strongest association (aHR = 4.78; 95% CI 1.97-11.62) for high MDMS. In both sexes, the effect of MDMS was strongest among those without a prior SA. No consistent associations with SA duration were observed. Conclusions: Multimorbidity increased the risk of incident musculoskeletal, mental and cardiovascular SA episodes but not their duration.

TY - Journal Article AU - Barry CL AU - Hatton CR AU - Levine AS AU - McGinty EE AU - Topazian RJ AB - Introduction: U.S. residents had varying experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and social safety net policy in 2020. Past research has suggested that partisanship, ideology, racial attitudes, and personal experience may each influence policy attitudes. In this study, we explore whether variation in support for social safety net policy in 2020 is predicted by negative experiences of the pandemic when controlling for racial attitudes, partisanship, and ideology. Methods: Support for 12 social safety net policies in 2020 was estimated using data from a nationally representative panel survey of U.S. adults conducted in 2020 (n=1,222). Logistic regression was used to examine differences in the predicted probability of supporting a majority of social safety net policies related to health, housing, and employment by partisanship, ideology, racial attitudes, and negative experiences of the pandemic. Analyses were conducted in 2021. Results: Higher levels of symbolic racism was a consistently strong predictor of lower social safety net policy support across health, housing, and employment policies; as was identifying as either Conservative or Republican. Negative experiences of the pandemic were generally unpredictive of support for the social safety net policy. Conclusions: Despite the pandemic's consequences as well as the potential for social safety net policy to address these consequences, negative experiences of the pandemic failed to predict policy support, even as racial attitudes, partisanship, and ideology strongly predicted these preferences in 2020. Building public support for social safety net policy requires communication strategies that identify the shared benefits of these policies.

We examined the effects of participation in ideologically heterogeneous civic associations on attitudes toward public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among partisan and religious subgroups most resistant to public health guidelines. We analyzed panel survey data from a nationally representative cohort of 1222 U.S. adults collected in April, July, and November 2020, and July/August 2021. Data on the importance of social distancing and mask wearing were collected in November 2020. Evangelicals and Republicans who participated in ideologically diverse civic associations were more likely to support mask wearing compared to those participating in ideologically homogenous associations (difference in predicted policy support on a 0-1 scale: 0.084, p = .05 and 0.020, p = .05, respectively). Evangelicals in ideologically diverse associations were also more likely to support social distancing compared to those in ideologically homogenous associations (0.089, p = .05). Participation in civic associations with ideologically heterogeneous members was associated with greater support for public health measures among skeptical subgroups. Encouraging exposure to diverse ideologies may bolster support for public health measures to mitigate COVID-19.

As the need for specialized knowledge and training has increased, so too has the traditional physician job changed from being a "cowboy" to participating as a "pit crew" member. Medical professionals today must be capable of frequent, high-quality teamwork and collaboration, such as communicating effectively with other personnel and patients. Autonomous, informal learning is unstructured, experiential learning controlled by the individual. Healthcare organizations, more than ever before, need to capitalize on informal learning experiences to make up for the fact that professionals: are not able to garner all necessary technical skills in formal training programs due to time constraints and the dynamic nature of the competencies required for effectiveness, and are not learning adequate effective interpersonal skills in educational settings.

This report builds on a prior analysis of World Trade Center Health Registry data to determine whether 9/11 exposure is associated with higher risk of SAD, and if so, whether post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mediating factor and whether the association varies by responder/community member status. The final analytic sample comprised 41,656 enrollees with 123 cases of SAD diagnosed post 9/11 through November 2017. SAD diagnosis was ascertained from survey responses and confirmed by medical record review or physician survey. Logistic regression models were constructed to determine the relationship between 9/11 exposure and PTSD and SAD. Causal mediation analysis was used to determine the mediational effect of PTSD. Each analysis was stratified by 9/11 responder/community member status. Rheumatoid arthritis (n = 75) was the most frequent SAD, followed by Sjögren's syndrome (n = 23), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 20), myositis (n = 9), mixed connective tissue disease (n = 7), and scleroderma (n = 4). In the pooled cohort, those with 9/11-related PTSD had 1.85 times the odds (95% CI: 1.21-2.78) of SAD. Among responders, those with dust cloud exposure had almost twice the odds of SAD, while among community members, those with 9/11-related PTSD had 2.5 times the odds of SAD (95% CI: 1.39, 4.39). PTSD was not a significant mediator. Although emerging evidence suggests 9/11 exposure may be associated with SAD, more research is needed, particularly using pooled data sources from other 9/11-exposed cohorts, to fully characterize this relationship.

Our study had three specific hypotheses: (1) waste workers experience effort-reward imbalance (ERI) with high self-reported effort but low reward, (2) unionized workers experience greater ERI, and (3) workers with higher income have lower ERI. Methods: Waste workers from three solid waste sites in Michigan participated in this cross-sectional study. We characterized perceived work stress using the short-version ERI questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and linear tests for trend were assessed for each scale. Linear regression models were constructed to examine the relationship between structural factors of work stress and ERI. Gradient-boosted regression trees evaluated which factors of effort or reward best characterize workers' stress. Results: Among 68 participants, 37% of workers reported high effort and low reward from work (ERI >1). Constant pressure due to heavy workload was most indicative of ERI among the solid waste workers. Union workers experienced 79% times higher ERI than non-unionized workers, while no significant differences were observed by income, after adjusting for confounders. Conclusions: Organizational-level interventions, such as changes related to workload, consideration of fair compensation, and increased support from supervisors, can decrease work stress.

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of physical activity (PA) training on cognitive function poststroke and identify intervention and sample characteristics that may moderate treatment effects. Methods: Randomized controlled trials examining the association between structured PA training and cognitive performance poststroke were identified using electronic databases EMBASE and MEDLINE. Intervention effects were represented by Hedges' g and combined into pooled effect sizes using random- and mixed-effects models. Effect sizes were subjected to moderation analyses using the between-group heterogeneity test. Results: Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria, representing data from 736 participants. The primary analysis yielded a positive overall effect of PA training on cognitive performance (Hedges' g [95% confidence interval]=0.304 [0.14-0.47]). Mixed-effects analyses demonstrated that combined aerobic and strength training programs generated the largest cognitive gains and that improvements in cognitive performance were achieved even in the chronic stroke phase (mean=2.6 years poststroke). Positive moderate treatment effects were found for attention/processing speed measures (Hedges' g [confidence interval]=0.37 [0.10-0.63]), while the executive function and working memory domains did not reach significance (P>0.05). Conclusions: We found a significant positive effect of PA training on cognition poststroke with small to moderate treatment effects that are apparent even in the chronic stroke phase. Our findings support the use of PA training as a treatment strategy to promote cognitive recovery in stroke survivors.

In the present study, we sought to determine whether these conditions were risk factors for increased COVID-19 disease severity within a cohort of N = 1280 WTC responders with complete information on health outcomes prior to and following COVID-19 infection. We collected data on responders diagnosed with COVID-19, or had evidence of receiving positive SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction or antigen testing, or were asymptomatic but had IgG positive antibody testing. The presence of post-acute COVID-19 sequelae was measured using self-reported symptom severity scales. Analyses revealed that COVID-19 severity was associated with age, Black race, obstructive airway disease (OAD), as well as with worse self-reported depressive symptoms. Similarly, post-acute COVID-19 sequelae was associated with initial analysis for COVID-19 severity, upper respiratory disease (URD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), OAD, heart disease, and higher depressive symptoms. We conclude that increased COVID-19 illness severity and the presence of post-acute COVID-19 sequelae may be more common in WTC responders with chronic diseases than in those responders without chronic disease processes resulting from exposures at the WTC disaster.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that pain, which is localized to the low back, differs epidemiologically from that which occurs simultaneously or close in time to pain at other anatomical sites SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Low back pain (LBP) often occurs in combination with other regional pain, with which it shares similar psychological and psychosocial risk factors. However, few previous epidemiological studies of LBP have distinguished pain that is confined to the low back from that which occurs as part of a wider distribution of pain. Methods: We analyzed data from CUPID, a cohort study that used baseline and follow-up questionnaires to collect information about musculoskeletal pain, associated disability, and potential risk factors, in 47 occupational groups (office workers, nurses, and others) from 18 countries. Results: Among 12,197 subjects at baseline, 609 (4.9%) reported localized LBP in the past month, and 3820 (31.3%) nonlocalized LBP. Nonlocalized LBP was more frequently associated with sciatica in the past month (48.1% vs. 30.0% of cases), occurred on more days in the past month and past year, was more often disabling for everyday activities (64.1% vs. 47.3% of cases), and had more frequently led to medical consultation and sickness absence from work. It was also more often persistent when participants were followed up after a mean of 14 months (65.6% vs. 54.1% of cases). In adjusted Poisson regression analyses, nonlocalized LBP was differentially associated with risk factors, particularly female sex, older age, and somatizing tendency. There were also marked differences in the relative prevalence of localized and nonlocalized LBP by occupational group. Conclusion: Future epidemiological studies should distinguish where possible between pain that is limited to the low back and LBP that occurs in association with pain at other anatomical locations.

We examined implications of exposure to PM composed of metalworking fluids (MWFs) for stroke mortality in the United Autoworkers-General Motors cohort. Cox proportional hazards models with age as the timescale were used to estimate the association of cumulative straight, soluble, and synthetic MWF exposure with stroke mortality, controlling for sex, race, plant, calendar year, and hire year. Among 38,553 autoworkers followed during 1941-1995, we identified 114 ischemic stroke deaths and 113 hemorrhagic stroke deaths. Overall stroke mortality risk was increased among workers in the middle exposure category for straight MWF (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.87, 1.98) and workers in the highest exposure category for synthetic MWF (HR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.13, 3.16) compared with workers who had no direct exposure. Ischemic stroke mortality risk was increased among workers in the highest exposure categories for straight MWF (HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 0.83, 2.52) and synthetic MWF (HR = 2.39, 95% CI: 1.39, 4.50). We observed no clear relationship between MWF exposure and hemorrhagic stroke mortality. Our results support a potentially important role for occupational PM exposures in stroke mortality and indicate the need for further studies of PM exposure and stroke in varied occupational settings.

TY - Abstract or Summary AU - Han T AU - Mainelis G AU - Thomas N AB - A personal electrostatic bioaerosol sampler (PEBS) has been recently developed at Rutgers University to assess exposure to airborne microorganisms. The key features of PEBS are the wire-to-wire charging section and a removable, superhydrophobic, dual-sided collection plate. This study evaluated the effect of airborne radioactive ions and ions produced during charging process on airborne microbial viability and culturability when sampled by PEBS. Airborne gram-positive bacteria Bacillus atrophaeus and fungal spores Penicillium chrysogenum were aerosolized and collected by PEBS under three conditions: 1) particles were chargeneutralized by a radioactive Po-210 source, and then those that retained any amount of charge were collected, 2) aerosolized particles were allowed to retain charge imparted by aerosolization and then collected , and 3) particles were neutralized, imparted positive ions and then collected. Total bacteria and fungi were counted by epifluorescence microscope and hemocytometer chamber. Viable bioaerosols were detected using bioluminescence of Adenosine Triphosphate and Thiazole Orange/Propidium Iodide cell viability assays. Culturable bacteria and fungi were determined by plating aliquots on nutrient agar and malt extract agar plates, respectively. The bacteria collected by PEBS had a viability of 64% in the absence of any ions, while the viability decreased to 52% when the bacteria were charge-neutralized; the viability was 58% when bacteria were charge-neutralized and then charged by positive ions. The culturability was higher in the absence of ions but not statistically different to the other conditions (p>0.05). For fungi, the viability and culturability were not different in the three conditions (p>0.05). These results suggest that the airborne ion emissions from PEBS do not affect fungal spores but might have a small effect on the viability of sensitive bacteria. Future tests will include extended sampling time and outdoor testing with Button Sampler and BioSampler at instrument standard flow rates.

TY - Journal Article AU - Asundi KR AU - Rempel DM AB - Tendon cells respond to their mechanical environment by synthesizing and degrading the surrounding matrix. This study examined how expression of genes associated with tendon degeneration is affected by static loads. Forty flexor tendons from 10 New Zealand White rabbits were harvested and secured in a tissue loading system. A static load of 0, 2, 4, or 6 MPa was applied to tendons for 20 h. MMP-1, IL-1beta, COX-2, GAPDH, and 18s mRNA expression was measured by qRT-PCR. MMP-1 expression in tendons loaded to 6 MPa was significantly increased 259% compared to tendons loaded to 4 MPa. Relative to a 0 MPa load, IL-1beta expression was inhibited with load at 4 MPa (48%) while COX-2 expression was increased at 6 MPa (219%). A polynomial regression analysis found a significant positive correlation between creep and expression of MMP-1 (R 2 = 0.53, p < 0.001) and IL-1beta (R 2 = 0.55, p < 0.001). The results of this study indicate that moderate load inhibits IL-1beta and high load stimulates COX-2 relative to stress shielding. MMP-1 expression is up-regulated with high loads compared to moderate loads. The correlation between creep and expression suggests that the pathway for MMP-1 and IL-1beta expression, leading eventually to tendon degeneration, may be regulated by the biomechanical factor creep.

TY - Journal Article AU - Kao DS AU - Kaplan RE AU - Matloub, Hani S. AU - Riley, Danny A. AU - Yan J-G AU - Zhang L-L AB - The current gold standard for the diagnosis and staging of hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is the Stockholm workshop scale, which is subjective and relies on the patient's recalling ability and honesty. Therefore, great potentials exist for diagnostic and staging errors. The purpose of this study is to determine if objective serum tests, such as levels of soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), may be used in the diagnosis and staging of HAVS. Twenty two nonsmokers were divided into a control group (n = 11) and a vibration group (n = 11). The control group included subjects without history of frequent vibrating tool use. The vibration group included construction workers with average vibrating tool use of 12.2 years. All were classified according to the Stockholm workshop scale (SN, sensorineural symptoms; V, vascular symptoms. SN0, no numbness; SN1, intermittent numbness; SN2, reduced sensory perception; SN3, reduced tactile discrimination; V0, no vasospasmic attacks; V1, intermittent vasospasm involving distal phalanges; V2, intermittent vasospasm extending to middle phalanges; V3, intermittent vasospasm extending to proximal phalanges; V4, skin atrophy/necrosis). All control subjects were SN0 V0. Seven out of 11 vibration subjects were SN1 V1, and 4 out of 11 were SN1 V2. A 10-cm(3) sample of venous blood was collected from each subject. The sTM and sICAM-1 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mean plasma sTM levels were as follows: control group = 2.93 +/- 0.47 ng/ml, and vibration group = 3.61 +/- 0.24 ng/ml. The mean plasma sICAM-1 levels were as follows: control group = 218.8 +/- 54.1 ng/ml, and vibration group = 300.3 +/- 53.2 ng/ml. The sTM and sICAM-1 differences between control and vibration groups were statistically significant (p < 0.0002 and p < 0.001, respectively). When reference ranges provided by Hemostasis Reference Lab were used as cut-off values, all sTM and sICAM-1 levels were within range, except three vibration individuals (27%) who had sICAM-1 levels greater than the reference range. This was not statistically significant (p = 0.08). When subjects were compared based on the Stockholm workshop scale, mean plasma sTM levels were SN0 V0 group = 2.93 +/- 0.47 ng/ml, SN1 V1 group = 3.59 +/- 0.25 ng/ml, and SN1 V2 group = 3.65 +/- 0.27 ng/ml, and mean plasma sICAM-1 levels were SN0 V0 = 219 +/- 54.1 ng/ml, SN1 V1 = 275 +/- 33.5 ng/ml, and SN1 V2 = 345 +/- 54.6 ng/ml. The difference in sTM level among the three groups was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The difference in sICAM-1 level among the three groups was also statistically significant (p < 0.002). The sTM and sICAM-1 levels are statistically higher in subjects with HAVS, with levels proportional to the disease severity. However, large population studies are needed to determine the "real-life" standard reference ranges for sTM and sICAM-1.

TY - Journal Article AU - de la Hoz RE AU - del Campo MT AU - Delclos GL AU - Fernandez-Montero A AU - Kales SN AU - Reinoso-Barbero L AU - Rueda-Garrido JC AU - Vicente-Herrero MT AB - The novel coronavirus 2019 or SARS-CoV-2 has spread worldwide since first being detected in China in December 2019. It has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization, and public health measures have been applied, including social distancing, work restrictions and home-working promotion. As many countries have flattened the epidemic curve, they are now examining strategies to reopen their economies, requiring evidence-based strategies to return workers to their jobs in the safest way possible. Occupational physicians can play key roles in monitoring workers' health and developing effective return to work guidelines. Along with clinical presentation, laboratory tests provide added value to confirm the diagnosis and the stage of COVID-19. Rapid tests based on viral antigen or antibody detection are often scarce. The use of reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), based on viral-RNA detection, may be limited to high-risk patients, healthcare and first-responder personnel. The Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology and other societies have established that RT-PCR can remain positive for up to 1 month in patients who are no longer contagious. RT-PCR is a useful diagnostic test in COVID-19, but used alone qualitatively (positive or negative), it may be inadequate to determine the end of a COVID-19-affected worker's isolation. The combined use of SARS-CoV-2 viral-RNA detection and serological antibody determination could improve the management of COVID-19 patients, but timing is important. Doing tests too early may result in test repetition and waste of resources, whereas delaying tests may delay return to work. The best strategy, preventing any contagious worker from entering/re-entering the workplace based on large-scale screening, is usually not available. Therefore, best practice for safe return to work after COVID-19 requires accurately identifying the final phases of the disease, where the worker is clinically recovered and no longer contagious. As laboratory tests are limited, we propose the combined use of: Clinical parameters based on clinical evolution and days since exposure. The isolated use of clinical criteria without laboratory support for return to work decisions would only be justified in circumstances where laboratory tests are unavailable. ... In conclusion, return to work guidelines in any pandemic will depend on the state of the local epidemic, the nature and conditions of each job and on the availability of testing. Guidelines need to be reviewed and updated over time as local epidemic status and supplies may change. In the current situation with a high rate of transmission and limited testing resources, it is important to differentiate between high- and low-risk workers. While low-risk workers' guidelines may rely on clinical criteria, more specific testing-based strategies should be used for high-risk workers.
