Rehabilitation Intensity and Successful Discharge in Persons with Dementia
Audiology, speech-language therapy, and occupational therapy (OSLA) can address functional deficits of dementia, but we do not know this set of services ’ effect on successful discharge after heart failure hospitalization in persons living with dementia. We hypothesize that increased OSLA time was associated with successful discharge home from skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in Veterans with dementia (VwD) after heart failure (HF) hospitalizatio n.

Systematic Review of Workplace Interventions to Support Young Workers ’ Safety, Work Environment and Health
ConclusionsExcept for a moderate level of evidence for no benefit of ‘Mental training’ on stress, the evidence synthesis recommends, that there is not enough evidence from the scientific literature to guide current practices. The results emphasizes a strong need for high quality interventions specifically aiming at increasing or maintaining young workers’ work environment, safety and health. Included studies focused mainly on individual measures, highlighting the need for studies investigating possible preventive measures at the group or organizational level.

Quantifying Coloring Skills Among Preschoolers
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The new method provides objective, reliable, and valid scores representing coloring skills in typically developing children. In addition, the coloring patterns can be recognized. This method can be used to facilitate comparisons of children's coloring skills with peers and provide valuable insight into children's development. Plain-Language Summary: This study proposes a new method to objectively quantify children's coloring skills with sound reliability and validity in typically developing children. The method can be used to evaluate children's coloring skills and patterns to shed light on their...

Rational timepoint of medical rehabilitation in chronic tinnitus : Applying for rehabilitation options for a chronic course
HNO. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s00106-024-01473-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic tinnitus is a common symptom of the auditory system. A causal therapy does not yet exist. The recommended treatment includes expert counseling, psychotherapeutic interventions, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, and measures to improve hearing. The treatment modules are multimodal and can be combined individually. Depending on the severity of the different disease dimensions (tinnitus and comorbidities), a rehabilitative approach may be useful for maintaining health and occupational ability. In addition to a thorough and well-f...

Poisoning by pesticides
Around 150,000 people die each year from pesticide poisoning. Most deaths result from self-poisoning by ingestion, rather than occupational or accidental exposures, which are typically topical or inhalational. Severe pesticide poisoning is more common in rural lower- and middle-income countries where pesticides are widely used in smallholder agricultural practice and therefore freely available. Significant acute poisoning is much less common in industrialized countries; here the long-term effects of low-dose chronic exposure most concern the population. (Source: Medicine)

A Price Too High: Injury and Assault among Delivery Gig Workers in New York City
We described injury and assault prevalence among food delivery gig workers in New York City (NYC) and assessed the effect of job dependence on injury and assault through work-related mechanisms and across transportation modes (electric bike and moped versus car). Data were collected through a 2022 survey commissioned by the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection among delivery gig workers between October and December 2021 in NYC. We used modified Poisson regression models to estimate the adjusted prevalence rate ratio associations between job dependence and injury and assault. Of 1650 respondents, 66.9% reported ...
