Article Synopsis
  • - The study revisits the historical context of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) linked to vaccines, focusing on the first case documented during WWI related to a typhoid vaccine.
  • - A detailed review of a case involving a 31-year-old brigadier revealed that after receiving a typhoid vaccine, he quickly experienced severe muscle weakness leading to respiratory failure, with specific findings in his cerebrospinal fluid.
  • - The case marks the earliest instance of vaccine-associated GBS, highlighting the association, albeit rare, between vaccines and this neurological condition.

Background: Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome (ODS) encompasses Central Pontine Myelinolysis and Extrapontine Myelinolysis, both of which are serious neurological conditions linked to the overly rapid correction of hyponatremia. Despite growing evidence, the exact etiology of ODS remains incompletely understood. The present paper describes two case studies, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathological findings and clinical outcomes associated with ODS.

Revisiting the Occupational Health Impact of Right-to-Work Laws: A Research Note.

Demography

October 2024

Department of Educational Administration and Policy, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.

This research note reevaluates the occupational health impact of right-to-work (RTW) legislation, incorporating recent developments in causal inference techniques. In an era marked by an uptick in the adoption of anti-union legislation and increases in workplace fatalities and injuries, it is particularly urgent to examine the extent to which RTW laws affect workers' health. Using a state-year-level dataset spanning 28 years and collected from multiple data sources, we apply an innovative generalized synthetic control method to overcome several limitations of the traditional two-way fixed-effects approach to examine the effect of RTW laws on occupational fatal injuries as well as various other health outcomes.
