Research commissioned for the UK's Health & Safety Executive (HSE) supports view that a preventative, risk-assessment based approach would be more effective than case-based methods in achieving nationwide reduction work-related stress. The background to this is described and discussed companion paper issue (Mackay, Cousins, Kelly, Lee, McCaig, ). present describes development of HSE's new stress Management Standards—which offer organizations continuous improvement through three-phase...
Background Qualitative olfactory (smell) dysfunctions are a common side effect of post-viral illness and known to impact quality life health status. Evidence is emerging that taste smell loss symptoms Covid-19 may emerge persist long after initial infection. The aim the present study was document post alterations smell. Methods We conducted exploratory thematic analysis user-generated text from 9000 users AbScent Smell Taste Loss moderated Facebook support group March 24 30th September 2020....
Among those many individuals who experience a reduced odor sensitivity (hyposmia/anosmia), some also have disorders that lead to distortion, such as parosmia (i.e. distorted with known source), or phantoms sensation without an source). We surveyed large population at least one olfactory disorder (N = 2031) and found distortions were common (46%), respondents reporting either (19%), phantosmia (11%), both (16%). In comparison hyposmia anosmia, more likely be female, young, suffering from...
Parosmia is a debilitating condition in which familiar smells become distorted and disgusting, with consequences for diet mental health. It feature of post-infectious olfactory loss, particularly resulting from COVID-19. There currently little understanding its pathophysiology, the prevailing hypothesis underlying mechanism aberrant growth regenerating sensory neurons after damage.We use gas-chromatograph olfactometry to individually present components complex mixture as rapid screening tool...
The impact of qualitative olfactory disorders is underestimated. Parosmia, the distorted perception familiar odors, and phantosmia, experience odors in absence a stimulus, can arise following postinfectious anosmia, incidences both have increased substantially since outbreak COVID-19.The aims this study are to explore symptoms sequalae dysfunction syndrome using unstructured unsolicited threads from social media, articulate perspectives concerns patients affected by these debilitating...
Eating can be a significant challenge for cancer survivors; however, to date there is no systematic way of assessing and addressing food related quality life in this group. The purpose our study was develop framework doing so. Over the course 6 years participant-led workshops, we worked alongside 25 head neck (HNC) survivors their partners, employing video-reflexive ethnographic (VRE) methods. current reports on data from two summative workshops series where with participants cohere emergent...
Abstract The molecular stimuli that trigger a parosmic response have been identified. Parosmia is debilitating disease in which familiar smells become distorted and unpleasant. Often result of post infectious smell loss, incidences are increasing as the number COVID-19 cases escalates worldwide. Little understood its pathophysiology, but prevailing hypothesis for underlying mechanism mis-wiring olfactory sensory neurons. We identified 15 different triggers coffee using GC-Olfactometry...
To examine the feasibility of undertaking a pragmatic single-blind randomised controlled trial (RCT) visual arts participation programme to evaluate effects on survivor wellbeing within stroke rehabilitation.Stroke survivors receiving in-patient rehabilitation were receive eight art sessions (n = 41) or usual care 40). Recruitment, retention, preference for and change in selected outcomes evaluated at end intervention outcome assessment three-month follow-up.Of 315 potentially eligible...
Purpose: To explore stroke survivors' and artists' beliefs about participatory visual arts programme participation during in-patient rehabilitation to identify benefits potential mechanisms of action. Method: Qualitative design using semi-structured in-depth interviews with survivors (n = 11) artists 3). Analysis: Data were audio-recorded transcribed. Framework approach was used themes develop conceptual schemes. Results: The non-medical, social context art facilitated interaction, provided...

Parosmia is a well-documented consequence of smell loss associated with Covid 19. Those who experience this qualitative olfactory disorder during recovery find that the odour common foods and household items distorted, can range from merely altered to profoundly disgusting. This lead greatly relationship food, including physical symptoms appetite, nausea, vomiting, as well wider reaching issues such withdrawal social situations, emotional distancing others in their close circles, anhedonia....
Community colleges produce large numbers of high quality graduates from career and technical programs. These programs are often academic rigor quality. However, most universities view these Applied Associates Science (AAS) as being terminal associate's degrees that not appropriate for transfer. Regional accrediting standards cited the reason this differentiation. The reality is institutional policies simply dismiss AAS courses by their prefix to simplify process. This study presentation will...

Mississippi has the oldest state-wide system of public 2-year colleges in USA. The story creation community college is both complex and powerful. Founded upon combination needs rural students, challenge poor transportation, a serendipitous conference side-trip, faced overcome many challenges. During systems infancy, there was struggle to define what role were play society, which that continues today. Beginning as an outgrowth state K-12 with agricultural roots, became independent higher...
SummaryAn International Altered Taste Consortium (I-eAT) is proposed that seeks to utilise gastronomic and biopsychosocial insights understand help people who experience taste alterations. eating experiences a changed of common disabling trans-diagnostic, multi-causal entity which has for too long been poorly understood supported in health research practice. The phrase employed (using "taste" its most commonly sense refer the overall multi-sensory flavour experience) emphasise lived sensory...
