PM2.5 metal constituent exposure and stillbirth risk in Harris County, Texas.

Chan W ;

Han I

2019/09/01 | National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

There is limited evidence on the role of exposure to chemical constituents of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in risk for stillbirth. Thus, we conducted a case-control study in Harris County, Texas between 2008 and 2013, utilizing a 6:1 ratio of controls to individually matched cases. We linked birth and fetal death records with PM2.5 data from a s ...

Thus, we conducted a case-control study in Harris County, Texas between 2008 and 2013, utilizing a 6:1 ratio of controls to individually matched cases. We linked birth and fetal death records with PM2.5 data from a single air monitoring station and estimated maternal exposures to metal constituents of PM2.5 over the risk period (defined by the gestational length of each case). We applied conditional logistic regression and modeled air pollutant exposures as continuous variables. We observed null associations for most metal constituents (Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se and Ti). However, we observed a modest increase in risk for stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.11, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02, 1.20) associated with a 0.007 µg/m3 interquartile range (IQR) increase in exposure to zinc (Zn) PM2.5. This study adds to the scarce literature evaluating associations between PM2.5 metal constituents and stillbirth and points to the need for further research in this area.

TY - Journal Article AU - Carvajal-Suarez M AU - Johnson-Beller R AU - Pozehl B AU - Quintero SA AU - Ramos AK AU - Rowland SA AU - Struwe L AU - Trinidad N AB - Background: Most meatpacking workers have pain affecting their back, arms, and/or wrists from work-related repetitive motions, forceful exertion, and awkward positioning. Chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with obesity, hypertension, type II diabetes, heart attack, and stroke. Hispanic/Latino workers in the meatpacking industry are a vulnerable population; limited English, lack of health insurance, and fear of deportation often deter them from seeking care where preventable cardiovascular risks might be detected. The purpose of this study was to examine perceived health and actual cardiovascular risk among Hispanic/Latino meatpacking workers with musculoskeletal pain in Nebraska. Methods: Structured interviews were used to examine perceived health, awareness of cardiometabolic risk, and capacity for health self-management. Body mass index (BMI), lipids, blood pressure, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and cardiorespiratory fitness (step test) were used to examine cardiovascular risk. Findings: Of those interviewed (n = 39), musculoskeletal pain affected usual life activities in 64% (n = 25) of participants. Of those tested (n = 30), 93% (n = 28) had a BMI > 30 kg/m2, 86% (n = 26) had at least one lipid abnormality, 50% (n = 15) had blood pressure > 120/80 mm Hg, and 43% (n = 13) had an HbA1c > 5.7%. Males had greater fitness than females (p = .03), but also greater lifetime risk of heart attack or stroke compared with females (p = .02). Conclusion/Application to Practice: In this sample, cardiovascular risk exceeded that found in the general Hispanic population in the United States. Occupational health nurses can assist workers to be aware of their risk by measuring and providing culturally and linguistically appropriate education on blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, and HbA1c.

AB - Despite extensive evidence of work as a key social determinant of hypertension, risk prediction equations incorporating this information are lacking. Such limitations hinder clinicians' ability to tailor patient care and comprehensively address hypertension risk factors. This study examined whether including work characteristics in hypertension risk equations improves their predictive accuracy. Using occupation ratings from the Occupational Information Network database, we measured job demand, job control, and supportiveness of supervisors and coworkers for occupations in the United States economy. We linked these occupation-based measures with the employment status and health data of participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. We fit logistic regression equations to estimate the probability of hypertension onset in five years among CARDIA participants with and without variables reflecting work characteristics. Based on the Harrell's c- and Hosmer-Lemeshow's goodness-of-fit statistics, we found that our logistic regression models that include work characteristics predict hypertension onset more accurately than those that do not incorporate these variables. We also found that the models that rely on occupation-based measures predict hypertension onset more accurately for White than Black participants, even after accounting for a sample size difference. Including other aspects of work, such as workers' experience in the workplace, and other social determinants of health in risk equations may eliminate this discrepancy. Overall, our study showed that clinicians should examine workers' work-related characteristics to tailor hypertension care plans appropriately.

One of the arguments often advanced in favor of teaching the humanities refers to their capacity to foster traits that not only improve practice, but might also reduce physician burnout-an increasing scourge in today's medicine. Yet, research remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that medical students with higher exposure to the humanities would report higher levels of positive physician qualities (e.g., wisdom, empathy, self-efficacy, emotional appraisal, spatial skills), while reporting lower levels of negative qualities that are detrimental to physician well-being (e.g., intolerance of ambiguity, physical fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and cognitive weariness). DESIGN: An online survey. PARTICIPANTS: All students enrolled at five U.S. medical schools during the 2014-2015 academic year were invited by email to take part in our online survey. MAIN MEASURES: Students reported their exposure to the humanities (e.g., music, literature, theater, visual arts) and completed rating scales measuring selected personal qualities. KEY RESULTS: In all, 739/3107 medical students completed the survey (23.8%). Regression analyses revealed that exposure to the humanities was significantly correlated with positive personal qualities, including empathy (p < 0.001), tolerance for ambiguity (p < 0.001), wisdom (p < 0.001), emotional appraisal (p = 0.01), self-efficacy (p = 0.02), and spatial skills (p = 0.02), while it was significantly and inversely correlated with some components of burnout (p = 0.01). Thus, all hypotheses were statistically significant, with effect sizes ranging from 0.2 to 0.59. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the association between exposure to the humanities and both a higher level of students' positive qualities and a lower level of adverse traits. These findings may carry implications for medical school recruitment and curriculum design.

We report findings from a trial of an online mental health role-play simulation for elementary school teachers on changes in attitudes and self-reported helping behaviors for students experiencing psychological distress. Methods: We randomly assigned 18,896 elementary school teachers to wait-list control or intervention conditions in which they received the 45- to 90-minute online role-play simulation. We administered a version of the validated Gatekeeper Behavior Scale at baseline and postintervention, which measures attitudinal dimensions shown to predict teacher helping behavior change. Self-reported helping behaviors were collected at baseline and 3-month follow-up. Outcomes were compared between the intervention follow-up and control group baseline measures. Results: The intervention group posttraining scores were significantly higher (p < .001) than the control group for all the preparedness, likelihood, and self-efficacy Gatekeeper Behavior subscales. All 5 helping behaviors were significantly higher among the intervention group at follow-up compared to the control group at baseline. Conclusions: We found that a brief online role-play simulation was an effective strategy for improving teacher attitudes and behaviors needed to perform a positive mental health gatekeeper role in schools.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, ECE programs either closed or remained open while workers faced additional demands. We deployed a survey of the center-based ECE workforce in Washington State (United States) one year into the COVID-19 pandemic to assess impacts and workers' perceived stress levels. We describe the prevalence of reported impacts, including workplace closures; job changes; COVID-19 transmission; risk factors for severe COVID-19; the use of social distancing practices; satisfaction with workplace responses; perceptions of worker roles, respect, and influence; and food and financial insecurity. Themes from open-ended responses illustrate how workers' jobs changed and the stressors that workers experienced as a result. Fifty-seven percent of ECE workers reported moderate or high levels of stress. In a regression model assessing unique contributions to stress, work changes that negatively impacted home life contributed most to stress. Feeling respected for one's work and feeling positive about one's role as an "essential worker" contributed to lower levels of stress. Experiencing financial insecurity, caring for school-aged children or children of multiple ages, being younger, and being born in the United States also contributed to higher stress. Findings can inform policies designed to support the workforce.

Using standard qualitative research methods, we explored the feasibility of elastomeric respirator use in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). We conducted interviews and focus groups with a convenience sample of health workers at one clinical center in Mali. Participants were users of elastomeric and/or traditional N95 respirators, their supervisors, and program leaders. Interview transcripts of participants were analyzed using a priori constructs from the Health Belief Model (HBM) and a previous study about healthcare respirator use. In addition to HBM constructs, the team identified two additional constructs impacting uptake of respirator use (system-level factors and cultural factors). Together, these framed the perceptions of Malian health workers and highlighted both facilitators of and barriers to respirator use uptake. As needs for respiratory protection from airborne infectious hazards become more commonly recognized, elastomeric respirators may be a sustainable and economic solution for health worker protection in LMIC.

TY - Journal Article AU - Che XX AU - Liu W AU - Zhou ZE AB - In the current study, we used a time-lagged design to examine burnout as a potential mediator in the relationship between workplace incivility and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and affective commitment as a moderator on the relationship between workplace incivility and burnout. Results based on data from 168 full-time employees in North America showed that workplace incivility had a significant indirect effect on OCB through burnout. In addition, the positive effect of workplace incivility on burnout was stronger for individuals with higher affective commitment, suggesting that workplace incivility could be more detrimental to individuals who are more committed to their organizations. Our findings contribute to the literature by demonstrating the mediating role of burnout and the moderating role of affective commitment in the relationship between workplace incivility and OCB.

TY - Journal Article AU - Allen TD AU - Jang S AU - Shen W AU - Zhang H AB - The job demands-resources model is a dominant theoretical framework that describes the influence of job demands and job resources on employee strain. Recent research has highlighted that the effects of job demands on strain vary across cultures, but similar work has not explored whether this is true for job resources. Given that societal characteristics can influence individuals' cognitive structures and, to a lesser extent, values in a culture, we address this gap in the literature and argue that individuals' strain in reaction to job resources may differ across cultures. Specifically, we theorize that the societal cultural dimensions of individualism-collectivism and uncertainty avoidance shape individual-level job resource-strain relationships, as they dictate which types of resources (i.e., individual vs. group preference-oriented and uncertainty-reducing vs. not) are more likely to be valued, used, or effective in combating strain within a culture. Results revealed that societal individualism-collectivism and uncertainty avoidance independently moderated the relationships between certain job resources (i.e., job control, participation in decision making, and clear goals and performance feedback) and strain (i.e., job satisfaction and turnover intentions). This study expands our understanding of the cross-cultural specificity versus generalizability of the job demands-resources model.

All testing occurred in a controlled atmosphere inside an enclosed chamber simulating a laboratory setting. Separate teams consisting of a laboratory technician, or technician and assistant simulated common tasks involving wire gauze pads, including heating and direct wire gauze manipulation. Area and personal air samples were collected and evaluated for asbestos consistent with the National Institute of Occupational Safety Health method 7400 and 7402, and the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) method. Bulk gauze pad samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy to determine asbestos content. Among air samples, chrysotile asbestos was the only fiber found in the first and third experiments, and tremolite asbestos for the second experiment. None of the air samples contained asbestos in concentrations above the current permissible regulatory levels promulgated by OSHA. These findings indicate that the level of asbestos exposure when working with wire gauze pads in the laboratory setting is much lower than levels associated with asbestosis or asbestos-related lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The results indicate that importance of location of the box as well as the restricted height of the space where the box is being lifted (increase of about 1200 N in compression and 160 N in A-P shear). Under general lifting conditions, light level had minimal impact (under 100 N). Gender was also found to have a significant impact for lateral shear and A-P shear forces (males > females for lateral shear but < for A-P shear). Overall, restricted height and location of on the pallet had the greatest impact on the spine loads.

The three checklists were (1) designed to provide low levels of detail but highly structured, (2) high levels of detail and highly structured or (3) high levels of detail with low structure. Results suggest checklists improve accuracy and also minimize psychological strain, yet at the cost of reduced speed. This suggests industries in which accuracy is critical to performance outcomes should consider how checklists, such as safety checklists, are designed. Implications for checklist design and provision are discussed.

To promote health among older workers, a better understanding of the factors that contribute to their health is crucial. With this in mind, we investigated the impact of work-family conflict and work-family enrichment on older workers' health. Five waves of longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study were used. A total of 4,509 workers aged 55 years and older at baseline were included. Multilevel modeling was conducted to analyze the data. Our findings showed that greater work-to-family conflict was related to higher comorbidity and greater disability over time, controlling for other known predictors of health (employment status, total household income, living arrangement, marital status, depressive symptoms, and baseline demographic characteristics). No other work-family variables significantly predicted the health outcomes. Comorbidity and disability were also found to predict work-to-family conflict. Using five waves of longitudinal data, our research showed that work that interferes with family negatively affects older workers' physical and functional health and that health relates to work-to-family conflict. Given the growing number of older workers and changing work and family situations, continued monitoring of work-family experiences among older workers is warranted.

Four hundred sixty-four employed U.S. residents were recruited through Amazon's Mechanical Turk service. Of the initial 464 participants, 183 also completed the second survey a week later. The evidence from this study suggests that demands for organizational citizenship behaviors are antecedents to future displays of organizational citizenship behaviors and counterproductive work behaviors. Similarly, organizational citizenship behaviors preceded all measured demands for organizational citizenship behaviors reported a week later. The results of the current study indicate that managers should be aware that demands for organizational citizenship behaviors may be influencing employee displays of counterproductive work behavior. Moreover, managers should be prepared to intervene if they find evidence of any deleterious effects that may be associated with demands for organizational citizenship behaviors.

Late diagnosis and inadequate response to standard chemotherapies contribute to an unfavorable prognosis and an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 10% in PDAC. Despite recent advances in tumor immunology, tumor-induced immunosuppression attenuates the immunotherapy response in PDAC. To date, studies have focused on IgG-based therapeutic strategies in PDAC. With the recent interest in IgE-based therapies in multiple solid tumors, we explored the MUC1-targeted IgE potential against pancreatic cancer. Our study demonstrates the notable expression of FceRI (receptor for IgE antibody) in tumors from PDAC patients. Our study showed that administration of MUC1 targeted-IgE (mouse/human chimeric anti-MUC1.IgE) antibody at intermittent levels in combination with checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-L1) and TLR3 agonist (PolyICLC) induces a robust antitumor response that is dependent on NK and CD8 T cells in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. Subsequently, our study showed that the antigen specificity of the IgE antibody plays a vital role in executing the antitumor response as nonspecific IgE, induced by ovalbumin (OVA), failed to restrict tumor growth in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice. Utilizing the OVA-induced allergic asthma-PDAC model, we demonstrate that allergic phenotype induced by OVA cannot restrain pancreatic tumor growth in orthotopic tumor-bearing mice. Together, our data demonstrate the novel tumor protective benefits of tumor antigen-specific IgE-based therapeutics in a preclinical model of pancreatic cancer, which can open new avenues for future clinical interventions.

The hypotheses are: there are shared personality characteristics of SANE nurses, these specific personality characteristics relate to job satisfaction, and organizational structure of the work environment is related to job satisfaction. The population utilized was SANE nurses at over 18 locations in medium to large sized cities across the central & western United States. Measurements include the Mini International Personality Item Pool, (Donnellan, et al, 2006), The Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II (Laschinger, et al, 2001), the abridged Job Descriptive Index (Stanton, et al, 2001), the Turnover Intention Scale (Kelloway, et al, 1999), and a demographic questionnaire. There is also an organization demographic form. The study will utilize a comparative effect size and goodness-of-fit research design. 125 nurses have completed the measures and data collection continues. Determining what personality characteristics, and/or structures in the work environment may have an impact on satisfaction and retention will be helpful to trauma organizations as they provide quality nursing care to the sexual assault/domestic violence client populations.

Cases of melanoma are on the rise, and many of those diagnosed are expected to be construction workers. Fortunately, skin cancer is easy to prevent! Know What to Look For: Examine your body from head-to-toe every month. Skin cancer that is detected early is easier to treat and more likely to be cured. Look for these warning signs: A new or existing mole that has an irregular border (ragged, notched, or blurred edges). A new or existing mole that is not symmetrical (one half doesn't match the other), or whose color is not the same throughout. Moles that are bigger than a pencil eraser. Itchy or painful moles. A bump, patch, sore, or growth that bleeds, oozes, or crusts and doesn't heal. If you detect any changes in your skin, see a dermatologist right away. Did You Know? Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of their skin tone. A common misconception is that people with darker skin tones will not get skin cancer. While skin cancer is more common in people with fairer skin, it often goes unnoticed in people with darker skin until it is at a more serious stage. More women develop melanoma than men before age 50; however, by age 65, the occurrence in men is double that of women, and by age 80 it is triple. Melanoma is one of the most common forms of cancer in people younger than 30. The likelihood of developing melanoma doubles if you have had more than five sunburns. Protecting Your Skin is Easy... 1) Wear Sunscreen: Avoid getting sunburned. Always wear sunscreen when working outside - even for a short period of time. Water, snow, sand, concrete, and metal reflect and intensify UV radiation and increase your chance of getting sunburned. Use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against UVA and UVB radiation. Reapply every two hours, or after excessive sweating. 2) Wear Protective Clothing: Wear tightly-woven and loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts and pants. Protect the back of your neck with a cloth flap designed to attach to your hard hat. Ask your employer for safety glasses that also provide protection against UVA and UVB radiation. They can be clear. The lens color has nothing to do with UV protection. 3) Stay in the Shade: If possible, complete outdoor tasks earlier or later in the day to reduce sun exposure. Stay in the shade as much as possible and when taking breaks. The sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If possible, build temporary shade structures in areas where you are working.
