A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital presenting with a disturbance of consciousness. A CT scan showed a subcortical hemorrhage with a blend sign and brain herniation, prompting emergent hematoma evacuation. Although there was an improvement in her symptoms after the operation, her consciousness deteriorated on the 14th day post-operation. A CT scan revealed a porencephalic cyst. Reoperation was performed, and no further recurrence of the cyst was noted. Reports of hematoma cavities expanding into a cystic form after hematoma removal are rare, and the mechanisms of such cyst expansion are not well understood. In this case, we hypothesize two pathways: 1) Residual hematoma components moving through the ventricular wall due to osmotic pressure differences between the hypertonic fluid and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and 2) Protein-rich plasma components leaking out of cells due to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption caused by cerebral hemorrhage. We also consider the possibility of a check valve mechanism.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 1","pages":"21-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A survey was conducted at the hospital of the University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan from October 1, 2021, to February 29, 2024, involving dementia patients and their working caregiver relatives. The survey assessed health, living, work, caregiving status, sociodemographic factors, and the care recipient's condition. A total of 214 patient-caregiver pairs participated; consent was obtained from 212 pairs, and data were collected from 166 caregivers. The caregivers were predominantly women, with 54 (33%) male caregivers and a mean age of 54.7 years. Health status was reported as good (33%) or fair (50%); however, 46% experienced sleep disturbances, 44% had psychological distress, 18% reported work dysfunction, and 8% noted poor social adjustment. Most of the care recipients were women (65%), with a mean age of 79.8 years. The most common diagnoses were mild cognitive impairment (37%) and Alzheimer's disease (35%), with an average mini-mental state examination score of 21.6. This study outlines the survey protocol, focusing on the health, work, and caregiving conditions of working relatives caring for dementia patients.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 1","pages":"5-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fundamentally, the success of their implementation is underscored by a need for employers, employees, industry stakeholders and policymakers to collaborate in adopting a \"digital first\" mindset. This review provides a background on the evolution of work and the workforce in post-independence Singapore, and introduces pertinent local workplace safety and health trends. It delves into how a \"digital first\" approach may be adopted and effected, followed by challenges and opportunities in the digitalization of Singapore's workplace safety and health landscape. Illustrative examples are used to highlight applications of digital and technological solutions in the control of occupational hazards. In our discussion, workplace strategies are built around the hierarchy of controls framework, whereas worker-related strategies are divided into workspace optimization for productivity/performance enhancement, training/education, and instituting surveillance/open reporting mechanisms. We demonstrate that with an open and forward-looking mind, and well-executed change management, we will be able to capitalize on technological advances to improve work and working conditions for all workers.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"46 1","pages":"55-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140119919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emphasizing the preconditions, case studies, and benefits, it underscores the role of big data in enhancing worker well-being. The review highlights the importance of informative health big data, especially in high-risk industries, with examples of case studies of AI implementation in occupational medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic and other relevant scenarios. While acknowledging the challenges of AI implementation, the essay identifies the role of academic and professional organizations as pioneers in big data utilization. Six potential benefits that are identified, including improved patient care and efficient resource allocation, demonstrate the transformative impact of big data analysis. The proposed pathway of preparation underscores the need for awareness, skill enhancement, and collaboration, addressing challenges in data management and stakeholder engagement. The conclusion emphasizes continuous assessment, feasibility studies, and commitment as essential steps in advancing occupational medicine through big data analysis.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"46 1","pages":"113-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140119838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their importance, research on how these events and conditions affect women's quality of life and health in the workplace is limited. This study explores the relationship between living environment, health status, work factors, and the health and work performance of working women. It focuses on menstruation-associated symptoms (dysmenorrhea, PMS) and menopausal symptoms and their impact on working QOL and health. A cross-sectional study was conducted on the Internet from June 6 to 12, 2024 among working women in Japan aged 20-60. The sample came from a closed survey of panel monitors from a company commissioned to conduct the survey. Screening included gender, age, hours worked, place of residence, and type of work, with participants being women aged 20-60 and working at least 30 hours per week. Of 31,965 participants, 4,245 were excluded for reasons such as short response time, marital status inconsistencies, childcare inconsistencies, undergoing infertility treatment at age 55 or older, and incorrect responses, resulting in 27,720 participants. The survey consisted of 139 questions and was conducted on a relatively homogeneous sample across all strata. Understanding the impact of menstruation-related symptoms on labor productivity and enhancing knowledge of women's health can lead to a better healthcare system and improved business performance. This study aimed to generate evidence to support these goals.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"46 4","pages":"283-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142770258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
