CBMN-Cyt assay, ERCC2 gene polymorphism, and plasma protein fractions were analyzed in workers' blood samples.Results: Textile dye workers had significantly higher mutagenicity biomarkers than the control group. Mutant ERCC2 genotypes, dye exposure, exposure period, and formaldehyde levels significantly predicted mutagenicity biomarkers' levels. Dye-exposed workers also showed significant changes in plasma protein fractions.Conclusions: Textile dyeing workers, particularly susceptible genotypes, are at mutagenic risk and have significant changes in plasma protein fractions. Those changes are usually the first detectable response to toxic exposures and can be useful as exposure biomarkers.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":"e89-e95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142980951","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}

Caregivers completed surveys followed by semistructured interviews ( n = 40).Results: Work-life balance is bidirectionally influenced by time, stress, and behavior across the working and caregiving role. Caregiver burden was offset by higher decision latitude at work. Supervisor support and coworker support were positively associated with work-life balance. Barriers included physical, emotional, and financial stress, and speech and cognitive changes of the care recipient.Conclusions: The results of this study identify the influence of work-life imbalance on caregiver burden and stress, and generate discussion of potential solutions that optimize well-being and health of this working population.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":"e114-e122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142980946","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}

Participants worked over 10 hours per day, 60 hours weekly, and had at least 3 years of experience. A control group was matched except for work conditions. Data were collected through surveys, and serum levels were measured.Results: Significant differences in serum Klotho were found between overwork and control groups.
