Longitudinal associations of effort and reward at work with changes in cognitive function: evidence from a national study of U.S. workers.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations of workplace effort and reward with changes in cognitive function among United States workers.

Methods: Data from the national, population-based Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study with a 9-year follow-up were used. Validated workplace effort and reward scales were measured at baseline, and cognitive outcomes (including composite cognition, episodic memory, and executive functioning) were measured with the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT) at baseline and follow-up.

Survival Impact of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Patients with Early-Stage Cervical Cancer.

To assess whether there were statistically significant differences in terms of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone as a nodal assessment method in patients with early-stage cervical cancer (IA1 with ILV to IB2 or IIA1 of the FIGO 2018 classification). A retrospective study was conducted among patients with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent radical surgery with pelvic lymph node assessment at La Paz University Hospital between 2005 and 2022. For nodal staging, either PL, SLNB + PL, or exclusive SLNB were performed, depending on the time period.

Work stress and changes in heart rate variability among employees after first acute coronary syndrome: a hospital-based longitudinal cohort study.

Background: Work stress is considered as a risk factor for coronary heart disease, but its link with heart rate variability (HRV) among heart attack survivors is unknown yet. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between baseline work stress and the changes of HRV over one-year after onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Methods: Hundred and twenty-two patients with regular paid work before their first ACS episode were recruited into this hospital-based longitudinal cohort study.
