Quantitative Assessment of Asbestos Fibers in Abdominal Organs: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: The studies included were heterogeneous in terms of exposure and cases, type of samples, as well as analytical techniques, therefore we cannot confirm a specific pattern of distribution in any organ, based on the low homogeneity of the exposure status. The colon is the organ in which the number of fibers is the highest, probably because of exposure arising from both internal distribution of inhaled fibers and ingestion. Additional studies of the number of asbestos fibers in abdominal organs should be made to achieve better representativity.PMID:38060208 | PMC:PMC10731569 | DOI:10.23749/mdl.v114i6.14946 (Source:...

Occupational Risk Factors for Laryngeal Cancer in Tunisia: A Case Control Study
CONCLUSIONS: Our results supported the role of occupational factors in developing LC. Further studies enabling an in-depth analysis of occupational exposures are necessary to provide a clearer definition of the etiological associations between single agents and circumstances of exposure and the genesis of LC.PMID:38060209 | PMC:PMC10731567 | DOI:10.23749/mdl.v114i6.14588 (Source: Medicina del Lavoro)

Cross-Sectional Study of the Psychological Well-Being of Healthcare Workers in a Large European University Hospital after the COVID-19 Initial Wave

COVID-19 in Workplace Settings: Lessons Learned for Occupational Medicine in the UK
Med Lav. 2023 Dec 7;114(6):e2023055. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v114i6.15461.ABSTRACTThis paper addresses lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic from a UK Occupational Medicine perspective to permit comparison with other national accounts. In spite of good prior research and statute, the necessary resources to protect workers' health were seriously lacking when the pandemic struck. Weak public health guidance, which did not recognise dominant airborne transmission, was applied to workplaces, leaving workers and others unprotected, especially in respect to Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE). The Health and Safety Executive (...

Learning from the Experience of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A New Paradigm for Occupational Biohazard Assessment and Management
Med Lav. 2023 Dec 7;114(6):e2023056. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v114i6.15452.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected workplaces in many different aspects. In this scenario, Occupational Physicians played a crucial role in assessing and managing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated diseases to guarantee workers' health and the safety of workplaces. However, the pandemic experience has drawn attention to several critical issues in overall biohazard prevention and management strategies, originating from important knowledge gaps in our scientific understanding. An extensive analysis of the relevant hurdles that have emerg...

COVID-19 Marked a Change in the Scope of Occupational Medicine from Occupational to Work-Related Diseases and Total Worker Health ®
Med Lav. 2023 Dec 7;114(6):e2023053. doi: 10.23749/mdl.v114i6.15429.ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic challenged occupational medicine, while its focus had already shifted from occupational diseases to work-related illnesses. Such a broader scope allowed the inclusion of transmissible diseases among the causes for concern in working settings. COVID-19 has had a profound impact globally, resulting in millions of infections, often lethal. From its appearance, COVID-19 was found to affect specific groups of workers at higher risk of contracting the virus due to their occupation or workplace conditions, which accounts for its cons...
