OBJECTIVE:This study comprehensively assessed the work outcomes of employees with depression. METHODS: We collected baseline and six-month follow-up survey data from 229 depression two employee comparison groups: a group healthy patients for control (N=173) rheumatoid arthritis (N=87), frequent source disability. Outcomes included new unemployment and, within employed subgroup, job retention (versus turnover), presenteeism (that is, diminished on-the-job performance productivity),...
Objective: This study assessed the relationship between depression severity and job performance among employed primary care patients. Method: In a 2001–2004 longitudinal observational of depression’s affect on work productivity, 286 patients with DSM-IV major depressive disorder and/or dysthymia were compared to 93 individuals rheumatoid arthritis, condition associated disability, 193 depression-free healthy control subjects. Participants at least 15 hours per week, did not plan stop...
Abstract Background We recently introduced Renesis™, a novel minimally invasive radiofrequency (RF) device, for the treatment of human skin. The wound healing response post‐fractional RF (FRF™) was examined in subjects. Study Design FRF system delivered energy directly within dermis via 5 micro‐needle electrode pairs. Tissue temperature held at 72°C 4 seconds using an intelligent feedback system. evaluated histologically and by RT‐PCR up to 10 weeks post‐RF treatment. Neoelastogenesis role...
Abstract Implanted scaffolds with inductive niches can facilitate the recruitment and differentiation of host cells, thereby enhancing endogenous tissue regeneration. Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from cultured cells or natural tissues exhibit superior biocompatibility trigger favourable immune responses. However, lack hierarchical porous structure fails to provide guidance cues for directional migration spatial organization, consequently limit morpho-functional integration oriented...
Background. Work limitation rates are crucial indicators of the health status working people. If related to work productivity, may also supply important information about economic burden illness. Objective. Our objective was assess productivity impact on-the-job limitations due employees' physical or mental problems. Research Design. Subjects were asked complete a self-administered survey on job during 3 consecutive months. Using robust regression analysis, we tested relationship...
Beginning in 2006 the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) will offer pharmacy benefits to forty-two million beneficiaries nationwide. In a 2003 national survey of age sixty-five older, more than one-quarter reported no prescription coverage, nearly half low-income seniors some states lacked coverage. Wide coverage differences among highlight implementation challenges need for tailored enrollment strategies. Evidence Medicaid's highly effective delineates...
Employers who are developing strategies to reduce health-related productivity loss may benefit from aiming their interventions at the employees need them most. We determined whether depression's negative impact varied with type of work performed. Subjects (246 depression and 143 controls) answered Work Limitations Questionnaire additional questions. Occupational requirements were measured objectively. In multiple regression analyses, was most influenced by severity (P < 0.01 in 5/5 models)....

Objective To examine the relationship between cumulative exposures to psychosocial and physical work conditions mortality in a nationally representative sample. Methods A working cohort was created using U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Information on were imputed Job Characteristics Scoring System exposure matrix for period 1968 through 1991 construct life courses. Deaths ascertained from 1970 1992. Results Working low-control jobs associated with 43% increase chance death (OR, 1.43,...
Stigma of mental illness is a major obstacle to its diagnosis and treatment may be worse among Asians than Caucasians. This study compared the stigma depression in 50 Chinese Americans (CA) Caucasian (WA). Subjects were asked read 5 case vignettes following order: diabetes mellitus (DB), depressive disorder (MDD), somatoform (SD), psychotic (PD), fever unknown origin (HA). Diagnosis each was not revealed. then rated their response case, on Likert scale from "strongly disagree" agree," 25...
We report the results of a prospective, longitudinal quality life survey on our adult right lobe (RL) liver donors. A total 47 donors were enrolled; standard SF-36 form and 43 questions developed by team completed before donation, at 1 week, 1, 3, 6 12 months after donation. There no donor deaths. Twenty-nine complications occurred in 16 patients. Major complication rate was 12.8%. Employment status personal finances identified as major stressors. All who wished to return work did so year...
There is increasing interest in measuring patients' experiences with individual physicians, and empirical evidence supports this area of measurement. However, the high cost data collection remains a significant barrier. Survey modes potential to lower costs, such as Internet interactive voice response (IVR) telephone, are attractive alternatives mail, but their comparative rates quality have not been tested.We randomly assigned adult patients from panels 62 primary care physicians California...
Gray zone lymphoma (GZL) is described as sharing features with classical Hodgkin (cHL) and diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL). However, there remains complexity in establishing diagnosis, delineating prognosis, determining optimum therapy. Sixty-eight cases diagnosed GZL across 15 North American academic centers were evaluated by central pathology review to achieve consensus. Of these, only 26 (38%) confirmed GZL. Morphology was critical consensus diagnosis (eg, tumor cell richness);...
Abstract Objective To examine whether disease duration is an independent predictor of achieving remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients initiating therapy. Methods RA the Consortium Rheumatology Researchers North America registry newly prescribed a nonbiologic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) or anti–tumor necrosis factor (anti‐TNF) with at least one followup visit were identified. Achievement was defined using Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI; score ≤2.8) and...
Objective: To test a new program's effectiveness in reducing depression's work burden. Methods: A brief telephonic program to improve functioning was tested an early-stage randomized controlled trial involving 79 Maine State Government employees who were screened for depression and at-work limitations (treatment group = 59; usual care 27). Group differences baseline follow-up change scores on the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ), WLQ Absence Module, Patient Health (PHQ)-9 severity scale...
To compare the incidence rates of malignancy among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and rheumatoid (RA) in Consortium Rheumatology Researchers North America (CORRONA) registry.We analyzed 2,970 PsA (7,133 patient-years followup) 19,260 RA (53,864 followup). Using a standardized adjudication process, we identified 40 confirmed malignancies 307 those RA. Incidence were calculated per 100 patient-years. rate ratios estimated, adjustment for age, sex, disease duration, body mass index,...
Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with difficulty in early diagnosis does not respond well to conventional treatments and has occurred significant improvement the overall 5-year survival rates.Mesothelin (MSLN) is a tumor differentiation antigen expressed several solid neoplasms limited number of healthy tissues.Its selective expression on malignant cells makes it an interesting candidate for investigation as diagnostic prognostic biomarker therapeutic target.In this study, we...
