Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Trends in mass spectrometric analysis for human biomonitoring and exposure patterns from recent global cohort studies.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread environmental contaminants that have been shown to contribute to human exposure, thereby raising a range of health concerns. In this context, human biomonitoring is essential for linking exposure levels of PFAS with their potential health risks. Mass spectrometry-based analytical techniques have been extensively adopted for the evaluation of PFAS levels across various cohorts.

Exploring barriers to employee voice among certified nursing assistants: A qualitative study.

Background: Research shows that voice-the communication of ideas, concerns, and perspectives by employees to those in positions to instigate changes-is related to job satisfaction, retention, and organizational improvement. Nevertheless, health care professionals often do not exercise voice. Although researchers have explored the barriers registered nurses working in hospitals experience in expressing their voices, there has been a notable lack of attention in research and practice to the voice of certified nursing assistants working in long-term care settings.

The relationships between certified nursing assistants' voice behaviour and job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intentions: A two-wave survey study.

Aim: Whereas voice behaviour has been identified as a key precursor to safe and high-quality patient care, little is known about how voice relates to key workforce outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between certified nursing assistants' perceived promotive voice behaviour (speaking up with suggestions for future improvement) and prohibitive voice behaviour (speaking up about problems or potentially harmful situations) and their self-reported levels of job satisfaction, work engagement and turnover intentions.

Design And Methods: Dutch certified nursing assistants were recruited for a two-wave survey study through non-random convenience sampling.

POI-associated EIF4ENIF1 mutations exhibit impaired translation regulation abilities.

Various genetic variants have been found to be associated with the clinical onset of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). However, when measured in vitro, the functional influence of the variants can be difficult to determine. By whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 93 patients with sporadic POI, we found a missense variant c.
