<i>Background:</i> Parkinson disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. The racial, sex, age, and geographic distributions of in the US are unknown. <i>Methods:</i> We performed serial cross-sectional study Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 older from years 1995, 2000–2005. Using over 450,000 cases per year, we calculated prevalence annual incidence by race, county. Spatial analysis investigated distribution <i>Results:</i> Age-standardized (per 100,000)...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put considerable physical and emotional strain on frontline healthcare workers. Among workers, physician trainees represent a unique group—functioning simultaneously as both learners caregivers experiencing challenges during the pandemic. However, we have limited understanding regarding effects vulnerability experienced by We investigated of trainee exposure to patients being tested for COVID-19 their depression, anxiety, stress, burnout...
The response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has created an unprecedented disruption in work conditions. This study describes mental health and well-being of workers both with without clinical exposure patients disease (COVID-19).
Objectives Most studies of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) incidence and prevalence among workers have been limited by small sample sizes or restricted to a subset jobs. We established common CTS case definition then pooled data across six prospective musculoskeletal outcomes measure frequency allow better etiology. Methods Six research groups collected at >50 workplaces including symptoms characteristic electrodiagnostic (EDS) the median ulnar nerves dominant wrist. While study designs...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To investigate the utilization of neurologist providers in treatment patients with Parkinson disease (PD) United States and determine whether is associated improved clinical outcomes. <h3>Methods:</h3> This was a retrospective observational cohort study Medicare beneficiaries PD year 2002. Multilevel logistic regression used to which patient characteristics predicted care between 2002 2005 compare age, race, sex, comorbidity-adjusted annual risk skilled nursing facility...
To conduct an intervention trial of a "best practices" musculoskeletal injury prevention program designed to safely lift physically dependent nursing home residents.A pre-post and cost benefit analysis at six homes from January 1995 through December 2000. The was established in 1998 rates, related costs benefits, severity are compared for 36 months pre-intervention post-intervention.A dynamic cohort all staff (n = 1728) during year study period."Best consisting mechanical lifts repositioning...
The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the long-term functional and radiographic outcomes in a series young adults (less than forty-five years old) whom an acute displaced intra-articular fracture distal aspect radius had been treated with operative reduction stabilization. Twenty-six fractures twenty-six patients met initial inclusion criteria for study. Twenty-one returned physical examination, imaging (plain radiographs computerized tomography scans), completion...
To compare union rates and complications of retrograde intramedullary nailing femoral shaft fractures with those antegrade nailing.Retrospective.Level I trauma center.Two hundred eighty-three consecutive adult patients 293 the who underwent stabilization or inserted nails were studied. There 140 153 nails. Twelve in twelve excluded (three died early postoperative period, three because amputation, four paraplegic, two fractured through abnormal bone owing to metastatic carcinoma), leaving 134...
Abstract Background Health care workers incur frequent injuries resulting from patient transfer and handling tasks. Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of mechanical lifts in preventing time loss due to these injuries. Methods We examined injury lost workday rates before after introduction acute hospitals long‐term (LTC) facilities, surveyed regarding lift use. Results The post‐intervention period showed decreased musculoskeletal (RR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.68–1.00), 0.56, 0.41–0.78),...
To combine human factors engineering techniques with qualitative observation of nurses in practice to analyze the nature nurses' cognitive work and how environmental create disruptions that pose risks for medical errors.Few researchers have examined while patients. Researchers described broad range thinking processes required acute care setting, but failed examine such are conducted influenced by complex environment. A combined research methodology enables better understand nursing process...
Objectives: To compare union rates and complications of retrograde intramedullary nailing femoral shaft fractures with those antegrade nailing. Design: Retrospective. Setting: Level I trauma center. Patients: Two hundred eighty-three consecutive adult patients 293 the who underwent stabilization or inserted nails were studied. There 140 153 nails. Twelve in twelve excluded (three died early postoperative period, three because amputation, four paraplegic, two fractured through abnormal bone...
Objectives The study aimed at comparing results of standardized Nordic-style questionnaires with those clinical examinations in two surveys on upper-limb work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Methods “repetitive task” survey (1757 workers 1993–1994 and 598 1996–1997) studied risk factors the disorders among exposed to repetitive work. “Pays de la Loire” (2685 2002–2003) was part a population-wide surveillance system. In both surveys, each worker completed questionnaire underwent...
Between 2001 and 2010, five research groups conducted coordinated prospective studies of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) incidence among US workers from various industries collected detailed subject-level exposure information with follow-up symptoms, electrophysiological measures job changes.This analysis examined the associations between workplace biomechanical factors dominant-hand CTS, adjusting for personal risk factors.2474 participants, without CTS or possible polyneuropathy at enrolment,...
<h3>Objective</h3>To determine the life expectancy of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) in United States and identify demographic, geographic, clinical factors that influence survival.<h3>Design</h3>Retrospective cohort study 138 000 Medicare beneficiaries incident PD who were identified 2002 followed up through 2008.<h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3>Confounder-adjusted 6-year risk death as influenced by 3 groups factors: (1) race, sex, age at diagnosis; (2) geography environmental factors;...
Parkinson disease associated with farming and exposure to agricultural chemicals has been reported in numerous studies; little is known about risk factors for those living urban areas. The authors investigated the relation between copper, lead, or manganese emissions incidence United States, studying 29 million Medicare beneficiaries year 2003. was determined by using who had not changed residence since 1995. Over 35,000 nonmobile incident cases, diagnosed a neurologist, were identified...
