Introduction: Questions concerning under-reporting of occupational diseases (OD) linked to asbestos exposure are regularly voiced in France. Monitoring of the French multicenter Asbestos-Related Disease Cohort (ARDCO), which ensures post-occupational medical surveillance of subjects having been exposed to asbestos, provides information on (1) the medico-legal steps taken following screening by computed tomography (CT) for benign thoracic diseases, and (2) recognition of OD as a causal factor in malignant diseases.
Methods: OD recognition - and possible compensation - was analyzed in July 2021 among 13,289 volunteers in the cohort recruited between 2003 and 2005.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore how different aspects of asbestos exposure relate to pleural plaques (PP) in retired workers in France.
- A large screening program conducted from 2003 to 2016 involved 5,392 participants, with HRCT scans and detailed evaluations of their work history to gauge their asbestos exposure levels.
- The findings revealed complex, non-linear relationships where the risk of PP increased with higher cumulative asbestos exposure and longer periods since first exposure, while the odds decreased with longer times since last exposure.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of retired men exposed to asbestos, focusing on how perceived risks and respiratory symptoms impact their well-being.
- - Researchers analyzed questionnaires from 1,266 retired workers, finding that a higher perceived risk of asbestos exposure correlated with lower scores in both physical and mental health components.
- - The presence of respiratory symptoms was significantly linked to decreased HRQoL, while expert assessments of asbestos exposure didn't show a direct impact on health outcomes.
Objectives: Studies on the impact of long COVID on work capacity are increasing but are difficult to locate in bibliographic databases, due to the heterogeneity of the terms used to describe this new condition and its consequences. This study aims to report on the effectiveness of different search strategies to find studies on the impact of long COVID on work participation in PubMed and to create validated search strings.
Methods: We searched PubMed for articles published on Long COVID and including information about work.
Purpose: This study aims to report on the effectiveness of various search strategies and keywords to find studies on work-related psychosocial risk factors (PRF) in the PubMed bibliographic database.
Methods: We first selected by hand-searching 191articles published on PRF and indexed in PubMed. We extracted 30 relevant MeSH terms and 38 additional textwords.
