A qualitative study of young workers' experience of the psychosocial work environment and how this affects their mental health.

Background: The evidence base for the relationship between psychosocial work factors and mental health focuses primarily on the general working population but little is known about young workers. The aim of this qualitative study is to identify psychosocial work factors that affect the mental health of young workers, with a focus on (1) novel factors of the psychosocial work environment that are relevant for young workers but have not been described in the literature and (2) experiences of psychosocial work factors associated with mental health that are specific to and typical for young workers.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were held with 36 workers aged up to 30.

Work characteristics and emotional exhaustion among young workers: a latent class analysis.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the heterogeneity of psychosocial working conditions of young workers by identifying subgroups of work characteristic configurations within young workers and to assess these subgroups' associations with emotional exhaustion.

Design: Latent class analysis. Groups were formed based on 12 work characteristics (8 job demands and 4 job resources), educational level and sex.

18F-fluorocholine PET/MRI versus ultrasound and sestamibi for the localization of parathyroid adenomas.

Purpose: Accurate preoperative localization is imperative to facilitate a minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). This study aims to compare the diagnostic value of standard-of-care localization techniques (ultrasound [US] and Technetium (Tc) -sestamibi scintigraphy) to [F-18]-fluorocholine positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (FCH-PET/MRI) to determine the additional clinical usefulness of PET/MRI in a Canadian cohort.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, appropriately powered, study to compare the diagnostic value of -FCH PET/MRI to that of the US and Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy for localization of parathyroid adenomas in a patient with pHPT.

Psychosocial work factors affecting mental health of young workers: a systematic review.

Objective: For the general working population, robust evidence exists for associations between psychosocial work exposures and mental health. As this relationship is less clear for young workers, this systematic review aims at providing an overview of the evidence concerning psychosocial work factors affecting mental health of young workers.

Methods: The electronic databases used were PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO and were last searched in October 2021.

The clinical consequences of functional adrenal uptake in the absence of cross-sectional mass on FDG-PET/CT in oncology patients.

Purpose: Oncology patients undergoing positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) occasionally show discrete adrenal [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake without an associated nodule on CT, leaving the clinician uncertain about the need to proceed with biopsy or surgical referral. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of this radiological finding and to evaluate the effectiveness of FDG uptake values in risk stratification for adrenal metastasis.

Methods: From 2014 to 2015, oncology patients who underwent FDG-PET/CT and demonstrated elevated FDG uptake in the adrenal gland without discrete nodularity on cross-sectional imaging were included in a retrospective cohort analysis.

Use of Intervention Mapping for Occupational Risk Prevention and Health Promotion: A Systematic Review of Literature.

Intervention mapping (IM) is a method to systematically design interventions that is applied regularly within the public health domain. This study investigates whether IM is effectively used within the occupational safety and health domain as well. Specifically, this study explores the relation between the fidelity regarding the use of the IM protocol for intervention development, the implementation process and the effectiveness of the occupational risk prevention and health promotion interventions.

Preoperative Computed Tomography Changes Surgical Management for Clinically Low-Risk Well-Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

Background: In the current guidelines for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), computed tomography (CT) of the neck has a limited role. The authors hypothesized that adding CT to the workup of clinically low-risk DTC size 4 cm or smaller changes the surgical management for a portion of patients due to detection of clinically significant lymph node metastases not located by ultrasound of the neck.

Methods: A prospective cohort of DTC patients at an academic referral center between 2012 and 2016 was reviewed.

Health differences between multiple and single job holders in precarious employment in the Netherlands: A cross-sectional study among Dutch workers.

Introduction: Precarious employment is associated with poor health. Among employees in precarious employment, those with multiple jobs may face additional health risks, e.g.

Papillary Thyroid Cancers with Focal Tall Cell Change are as Aggressive as Tall Cell Variants and Should Not be Considered as Low-Risk Disease.

Background: The tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is as an aggressive histological variant. The proportion of tall cells needed to influence prognosis is debated.

Methods: Patients with PTC and tall cells, defined as having a height-to-width ratio of ≥ 3:1, seen at a high-volume center between 2001 and 2015, were reviewed.

Long-term Risk of Thyroid Cancer After Initially Negative Thyroid Biopsy Results.

This population-based study examines the risk of being diagnosed with thyroid cancer in long-term follow-up of individuals with benign thyroid biopsy results.

Autoinfarction of Giant Parathyroid Adenoma after Preoperative Withdrawal of Anticoagulants.

A 71-year-old man with known history of atrial fibrillation (treated with routine rivaroxaban therapy) was found to have incidental biochemical elevated calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. His physical examination demonstrated the presence of a palpable right neck mass. Subsequent imaging studies revealed a large parathyroid mass as well as multiple bone lesions, raising the suspicion of parathyroid carcinoma.

Distinguishing groups and exploring health differences among multiple job holders aged 45 years and older.

Purpose: To identify distinct groups of older multiple job holders and to explore health differences between these groups.

Methods: We selected respondents from STREAM, a Dutch cohort study among persons aged 45 years and older, who reported having multiple jobs (N = 702). We applied latent class analysis to identify groups of multiple job holders.

Experiences with multiple job holding: a qualitative study among Dutch older workers.

Background: Multiple job holding (MJH) is a common and growing phenomenon in many countries. Little is known about experiences with MJH among older workers. The objective of the present study is to gain insight in experiences with MJH among Dutch workers aged 45 years and older.

[Is our treatment of well-differentiated thyroid cancer too aggressive? Hemithyroidectomy versus total thyroidectomy].

Recent literature shows that hemithyroidectomy is a safe alternative for total thyroidectomy in the treatment of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer up to 4 cm in diameter and a low risk of recurrence. According to criteria of the 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines, more than 28% of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer of a Dutch cohort would be eligible for hemithyroidectomy instead of the total thyroidectomy they actually underwent. However, standardisation and high quality pre- and postoperative diagnostics are required for responsible implementation of this new guideline in Dutch healthcare.

Double up! Examining the effects of adding inhibition training to food cue exposure in chocolate-loving female students.

In the present we study investigated whether addition of a Go/No Go training enhanced the effects of food cue exposure. We assessed desire to eat, salivation, CS-US expectancies, and eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) during and after cue exposure. Participants (N = 71) were chocolate-loving female students who tried to eat less chocolate in daily life.

The cost-effectiveness and return-on-investment of a combined social and physical environmental intervention in office employees.

This study explored the cost-effectiveness and return-on-investment of a combined social and physical environmental worksite health promotion program compared with usual practice, and of both intervention conditions separately. Participants were randomized to the combined intervention (n = 92), social environmental intervention (n = 118), physical environmental intervention (n = 96), or control group (n = 106). The social environmental intervention consisted of group motivational interviewing and the physical environmental intervention of workplace modifications.

Clinical Safety of Renaming Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: Is NIFTP Truly Benign?

Background: Renaming encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC) to noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) was recently suggested to prevent the overtreatment, cost and stigma associated with this low-risk entity. The purpose of this study is to document the incidence and further assess the clinical outcomes of reclassifying EFVPTC to NIFTP.

Methods: We searched synoptic pathologic reports from a high-volume academic endocrine surgery hospital from 2004 to 2013.

Validation of prospective portion size and latency to eat as measures of reactivity to snack foods.

In experimental studies that investigate reactivity to the sight and smell of highly palatable snack foods, ad libitum food intake is commonly used as a behavioural outcome measure. However, this measure has several drawbacks. The current study investigated two intake-related measures not yet validated for food cue exposure research involving common snack foods: prospective portion size and latency to eat.
