Objectives: To determine factors associated with return to work and self-reported degree of recovery among injured workers in California.
Methods: Using logistic regression and survey data from a representative sample of 965 workers injured between April 1 and June 30, 2005, we investigated the impact of the primary treating physician's (PTP) occupational medicine orientation and interpersonal behavior and access to and timeliness of care on return to work and degree of recovery, controlling for worker and injury characteristics.
Results: Some PTP behaviors significantly increased the likelihood of return to work and some degree of recovery, while recommendations for specialty care reduced the likelihood of returning to work or experiencing some degree of recovery.
Conclusions: Targeting PTP behaviors and improving management of those referred for specialty care may improve return to work and degree of recovery of injured workers.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
Case: We present the case of a 24-year-old woman who sustained a left midshaft clavicle fracture with acute subclavian artery compression, subclavian vein laceration, and complete brachial plexus palsy after a motor vehicle collision. The patient underwent urgent open reduction internal fixation of the clavicle and repair of the subclavian vein. Two years later, she underwent opponensplasty and flexor digitorum profundus tendon transfers.

Cuproptosis exhibits enormous application prospects in treatment. However, cuproptosis-based therapy is impeded by the limited intracellular copper ions, the nonspecific delivery, uncontrollable release, and chelation of endogenous overproduced glutathione (GSH). In this work, an ultrasound-triggered nanosonosensitizer (p-TiO-Cu(I)) was constructed for Cu(I) delivery, on-demand release, GSH consumption, and deeper tissue response.

This work investigates the energy cane pyrolysis by process simulation in Aspen Plus, evaluating which variety maximizes bio-oil yield with further economics to evaluate process feasibility. Three cultivars were selected: two natural, and , and one, IACSP955000, generated by a breeding program. Firstly, 100 kg/h of wet biomass entered a stoichiometric reactor (RSTOIC) at 450 °C and 40 bar, generating biochar, bio-oil and gases.

Several studies have demonstrated the effect of straw return on enhancing soil ecology, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and cumulative effects on plant yield. Recent studies have focused on straw return methods and their impact on soil nutrient cycling and the overall physicochemical composition of the soil. Despite the substantial progress and successes, several research gaps in these studies require further investigations to harness the full potential of straw return.
