Since 1970 the Institute of Occupational Medicine in Lódź has systematically carried out the analysis of sickness absenteeism of workers taken care of by the industrial health service. Monthly reports concerning temporal working disability prepared for plants by the institutions of industrial health service constitute the source material for the analysis. The analysis of the rate and structure of sickness absenteeism for the whole industry and its particular branches made it possible to point to industries which are most hazardous to health. The values of lost time rates due to diseases proves that only some branches of industry do exceed the mean lost time rate in industry. These are as follows: ferrous metallurgy (5.21), metals producing industry (4.88), textile industry (4.83), chemical industry (4.63) and rubber processing industry (4.73). Moreover, the rate analysis rendered it possible to observe changes in sickness absenteeism in these industries over years. There are five main causes for diagnosing working disability in industry: 1) respiratory system diseases (1.12), 2) nervous system and sense organs diseases (0.70), 3) circulatory system diseases (0.61), 4) osteomuscular system diseases (0.58) and 5) digestive system diseases (0.48).

The three SDEs of CLas were expressed in citrus leaves by AuNPs-PEI mediated transient expression system, and promoted the proliferation of CLas and inhibited citrus immunity. Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most severe bacterial disease of citrus caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). CLas suppress host immune responses and promote infection by sec-dependent effectors (SDEs), thus insight into HLB pathogenesis is urgently needed to develop effective management strategies.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.
