Adding Insult to Injury: The Impact of Musculoskeletal Pain on Fishermen's Sleep Patterns.

Objectives: Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States, and although injuries have been a prominent focus for research, some health and safety risk factors such as sleep are understudied. In this paper, data from a multi-modal research study of sleep patterns, lifestyle factors, occupational exposures, medical histories, and health assessments in four U.S.

The Association Between Postoperative Prophylactic Antibiotics and Severe Infections After Cochlear Implantation: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Tertiary medical institution.

Salvage surgery for oesophageal cancer: The need for more intensive surveillance.

Background: There is currently no consensus on the role, method or frequency of surveillance following curative treatment of oesophageal cancer; re-investigation largely relying on symptom triggers which may delay detection of recurrence and impact survival. We hypothesised that intensive surveillance with endoscopy and imaging was more likely to detect recurrent or new cancer at a curable stage and this study examined the outcomes of this surveillance policy.

Patients And Methods: A prospective database of curatively treated oesophageal carcinoma patients was interrogated for patients with new or recurrent disease detected on surveillance and amenable to salvage surgery.

Patient and wound factors associated with WOUND-Q scales measuring health-related quality of life: An international cross-sectional study.

The WOUND-Q is a patient-reported outcome measure for individuals with any type of chronic wound. This study aimed to identify patient and wound factors associated with the four WOUND-Q health-related quality of life (HRQL) scales: Life impact, Psychological, Sleep, and Social. Adults with a chronic wound were recruited internationally through clinical settings between August 2018 and May 2020, and through an online platform (i.
