Background: In the various existing information systems, the work-related variables (occupation, job position, and economic sector) are not always classified in the same manner.

Objectives: To develop a classification of occupations and economic sectors that could be used for the majority of analyses of data on work-related morbidity and mortality.

Methods: The classification of occupations was created with the following criteria in mind: comparability with the currently used classification systems ISTAT (the National Institute of Statistics) 1971, 1981, 1991 and INAIL (the National Institute for Insurance Against Accidents & Diseases); a limited number of items, so as to ensure acceptable statistical power; maximum variance among groups and minimum variance within groups, in terms of the three dimensions of greatest interest for defining exhausting jobs. To this end, three groups of experts were consulted, one group of experts in the analysis of occupational differences in the occurrence of accidents and two groups of experts on occupational health.

Results: The three different sets of aggregates produced by the three groups of experts were combined into 56 items, referred to as the "Classification of occupations for the surveillance of differences in mortality and morbidity".

Conclusions: The classification can be used in future analyses of occupational risks and injuries for the comparison of different information sources and time periods.

Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and type 2 diabetes are highly prevalent and poorly controlled cardiometabolic diseases in the Middle East. Therapeutic non-adherence and therapeutic inertia are major contributors to this suboptimal disease control. Regardless of the cardiometabolic disease, evidence-based solutions may be used to improve therapeutic non-adherence and overcome inertia, and thereby help to alleviate the heavy burden of cardiovascular disease in the Middle East.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age, characterized by functional and structural alterations of the female reproductive organs. Due to the unknown underlying molecular mechanisms, in vivo murine models and in vitro human cellular models are developed to study the syndrome. These models are used to analyze various aspects of the pathology by replicating the conditions of the syndrome.
