However, integrated assessments of inflammatory biomarkers, lung function, and symptoms are limited, especially among Thai firefighters. This study aimed to examine the associations between inflammatory biomarkers, lung function, respiratory symptoms, and related health factors in wildland firefighters in Northern Thailand. This cross-sectional study surveyed 146 wildland firefighters from eight Phayao stations using interviewer-administered questionnaires, including a Thai-adapted ATS-DLD-78-A questionnaire to assess demographics, lifestyle, health, work factors, and respiratory symptoms. High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) levels, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and Pulmonary function (FVC%-predicted, FEV1%-predicted, FEV1/FVC%, FEF25-75%-predicted) were measured. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman's correlation tests. Median hs-CRP was 1.44 µg/l, and median FeNO was 11.83 ppb. Significant positive associations were identified between hs-CRP levels and BMI (P=0.003) and FeNO (P<0.001). Lung function parameters (FVC%-predicted, FEV1%-predicted, FEF25-75%-predicted) were negatively correlated with hs-CRP levels (P<0.05). Elevated hs-CRP and reduced lung function were significantly associated with increased respiratory symptoms (P<0.05). Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and alcohol, were not significantly associated with hs-CRP. This study highlights associations between systemic inflammation, lung function decline, and respiratory symptoms in wildland firefighters, emphasizing the need for integrated biomarker and lung function monitoring for early detection in occupational health surveillance.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 4","pages":"191-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145648870","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}

Although many female workers suffer from menopausal symptoms, their actual situation and its impact on their employment are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between menopausal symptoms and presenteeism, and the effect of support from the workplace. A job-based survey study of 881 female workers in their 40s to 60s working for a single company was conducted in Japan in October, 2023. We used a questionnaire that included items on demographic characteristics, the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) to evaluate menopausal symptoms, and the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun) to measure presenteeism. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was performed. Compared to female workers without menopausal symptoms, the prevalence of work functioning impairment increased with increasing severity of menopausal symptoms, namely mild [Prevalence Ratio (PR): 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.48-3.40, P=0.608], moderate [PR: 5.12; 95%CI: 2.28-11.5, P < 0.001], and severe [PR: 13.8; 95%CI: 6.15-31.0, P < 0.001]. MRS scores and prevalence of work functioning impairment showed a significant trend (P < 0.001). Female workers who did not receive support from the workplace were more likely to experience work functioning impairment [PR: 3.16; 95%CI: 2.05-4.89, P < 0.001]. There is an association between menopause symptoms and presenteeism in Japanese women. Support from the workplace for menopausal symptoms may improve presenteeism.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 4","pages":"181-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145648897","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}

The findings of this study highlighted the relationship between the mental well-being of children with disabilities receiving support and services at the facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mental stress caused by anxiety and environmental changes related to the pandemic may have adversely affected the children who used those services.

Although studies have revealed that the number of pilots who have undergone CRS is relatively small, it is still deemed important to have knowledge about the intermediate and long-term visual outcomes after CRS, as vision is very important for pilots to ensure flight safety during their duty. This literature review elaborates the effect of CRS on contrast sensitivity, refractive regression, and dry eye, as these components are related to the quality of vision. We conducted a literature review by searching on Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct with relevant keywords. We found that each variety of CRS has its own effects regarding contrast sensitivity, refractive regression, and dry eye, both for immediate and long-term effects following the surgery. Factors in the work environment of pilots, such as hypobaric hypoxia, low humidity, and ergonomic factors also have an influence on those visual outcomes. To conclude, we suggest several clinical practices for aviation medicine specialists for management of pilots with a history of CRS or a plan to have the surgery.","PeriodicalId":17570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of UOEH","volume":"47 3","pages":"135-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144959262","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}
