The rapid increase in mobile phone use young people has generated concern about possible health effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF), extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). MOBI-Kids, a multinational case-control study, investigates the potential childhood and adolescent EMF from communications technologies on brain tumor risk 14 countries. which aims include approximately 1,000 cases aged 10-24 years two individually matched controls for each case, follows common...
More employees are experiencing a cancer diagnosis during their working-age years, yet there have been no large-scale Japanese studies investigating sick leave due to cancer. We clarified differences in the cumulative partial and full return work (RTW) rates between different types among survivors.Data on who experienced an episode of clinically certified diagnosed 1 January 2000 31 December 2011 were obtained from occupational health register. Subject outcomes within 365-day period...
Acquiring clinical reasoning skills in lectures may be difficult, but it can learnt through problem-solving the context of practice. Problem finding and solving are required for reasoning; however, students who underwent problem-based learning (PBL) still have difficulty acquiring skills. We hypothesized that team-based (TBL), a strategy provides opportunity to solve problems by repeatedly taking tests, enhance ability medical with PBL experiences during pre-clinical years. TBL courses were...
In recent decades, the possibility that use of mobile communicating devices, particularly wireless (mobile and cordless) phones, may increase brain tumour risk, has been a concern, given considerable in their by young people. MOBI-Kids, 14-country (Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain) case-control study, was conducted to evaluate whether phone (and resulting exposure radiofrequency (RF) extremely low...
Objectives While there is growing evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), impact occupational and sedentary behaviour remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate associations between HCC risk. Design Matched case-control study. Setting Nationwide multicentre, hospital-inpatient data set in Japan, from 2005 2021. Participants The included 5625 inpatients diagnosed with 27 792 matched controls without liver disease or neoplasms. were based on...
This study aimed to identify the occupational class and specific occupations associated with hospitalisations due alcohol-related liver disease alcoholic cirrhosis, based on distribution of alcohol consumption. matched case-control used a nationwide, multicentre, inpatient dataset from Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Database Rosai Hospital Group in Japan. A total 5,490 cases 10,961 controls were included this study. Participants categorised according (blue-collar, service, professional,...
The objective of this study was to investigate the cumulative return work (RTW) rate and clarify predictors time full-time RTW (full RTW) resignation among Japanese stroke survivors, within 365-day period following their initial day sickness absence due stroke.This based on tertiary prevention occupational health in large-scaled companies various industries.The participants were 382 workers who experienced an episode leave clinically certified diagnosed between 1 January 2000 31 December...
Abstract Introduction We used data from MOBI-Kids, a 14-country international collaborative case–control study of brain tumors (BTs), to clinical characteristics the in older children (10 years or older), adolescents and young adults (up age 24). Methods Information records was obtained for 899 BT cases, including signs symptoms, symptom onset, diagnosis date, tumor type location. Results Overall, 64% all were low-grade, 76% neuroepithelial 62% gliomas. There more males than females among...
Background:A better understanding of the epidemiology pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring in school settings is important to establish an evidence-based strategy for prevention and prognosis.
Aim: To investigate the distribution of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers before and after influenza vaccination to examine relationship between physical nutritional factors change in HI titer elderly. Methods: Pre-post-vaccination were determined from 203 individuals aged 65 years or older residing a nursing home. For assessment status, information was retrieved care records. Results: The immune response assessed as good 122 subjects based on fourfold rise more for at least one three...
Abstract We aimed to investigate the risks of cardiovascular diseases associated with specific occupations, using a nation-wide, multicentre, hospital-based registry data from Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Survey. The analysis included 539,110 controls (non-circulatory disease) and 23,792 cases (cerebral infarction, intracerebral/subarachnoid hemorrhage, acute myocardial infarction) aged ≥ 20 years who were initially hospitalized during 2005–2015. participants’ occupational clinical...
After developing job-exposure matrices (JEMs) for screen and sedentary time, we aimed to assess the associations between JEM-derived exposures various ocular diseases. We collected data from patients hospitalized 2005 2021. JEMs were developed 41,718 with occupational information times. The adjusted means of time calculated 143 groups categorized into three classes based on tertiles. diseases these examined using multivariable conditional logistic regression 727,589 patients. odds ratios...
The aim of this study was to examine whether incidence malignant neoplasms the central nervous system from 1993 2010 has increased among young people in Japan, and increase could be explained by mobile phone use. Joinpoint regression analysis data performed. Subsequently, expected rate calculated assuming that relative risk 1.4 for those who used phones more than 1640 h cumulatively. Annual percent change 3.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6–6.3) men their 20s 2010, 12.3% CI, 3.3–22.1)...
Background A person's occupation may increase his/her risk for developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study investigated the association between later-onset of IBD and both specific occupations occupational physical activity (OPA) levels.Materials methods multicenter hospital-based matched case-control was conducted using Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Survey database. Cases were patients with Crohn's (CD) ulcerative colitis (UC) admitted first time 2005 2015. Four controls by...
Abstract To examine the risk of incident cataract surgery associated with alcohol use patterns among Japanese adults. This was a case–control study evaluating 14,861 patients and matched controls. Subjects admitted to any 34 hospitals in Japan aged between 40 69 years were included. Drinking (drinking frequency, daily average drinks, total amount lifetime drinking), smoking history, lifestyle-related comorbidities, occupational factors surveyed by trained interviewers. Odds ratios (ORs) 95%...
