To investigate the detection of suspected occupational diseases in the occupational health examination population in Hangzhou, and to establish a two-level logistic model of influencing factors. In October 2018, the information of physical examinees was collected through the 2015-2017 occupational health examination and reexamination database of Hangzhou Hospital for the Prevention and Treatment of Occupational Disease. MlwiN 2.02 software was used to establish a 2-level logistic model of suspected occupational diseases, with the occupational hazard factors as the level 2 unit and the employees as the level 1 unit. χ(2) test was used to compare the detection rates of suspected occupational diseases with different characteristics. The trend of detection rates of suspected occupational diseases with age and working age were tested by Cochran-Armitage trend test. The morbidity rate of suspected occupational diseases in 2965 workers was 59.6% (1767/2965) , and the rates caused by different occupational hazardous factors were significantly difference (χ(2)=1615.27, <0.01) , that caused by noises was the highest (98.0%, 1206/1231) , and the next was the dust (87.5%, 70/80) . The rate in male was 61.5% (1532/2492) , and that in female was 49.7% (235/473) , they were significantly difference (χ(2)=22.96, <0.01) . The rates of suspected occupational diseases increased with the ages (=8.77, <0.01) and working years (=3.62, <0.01) . The multivariate analysis by 2-level logistic model indicated that gender, age and working year were all no significant, instead the level 2 unit random effect was significant (χ(2)=4.77, <0.05) . Suspected occupational diseases will occur in clusters in occupational hazardous factors. The influence of occupational hazardous factors on suspected occupational diseases was more than that of personal characteristics.

is an airborne bacterial zoonotic pathogen that causes Q fever/coxiellosis in humans and animals. Although dogs are suspected of transmitting Q fever to humans in past outbreaks, the prevalence of in the Indian dog population and risk factors for infection remain unknown. In this study, 452 dogs from pet clinics in three Indian states were screened for coxiellosis using molecular (Trans-PCR, Com 1-PCR) and serological (IFAT) tests.

is a facultatively intracellular, gram-negative bacillus and a rare cause of infection in the United States. We report a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with ongoing fever, shortness of breath, and was found to have a pericardial effusion and pulmonic infiltrates due to . Though tularemia is classically associated with rabbits and rodents, we note the patient in our case had no clear infectious exposure.

Aim: Sydenham chorea (SC) is a globally significant, post-streptococcal, childhood neuropsychiatric condition that is rare in western Europe. This retrospective single-centre study focused on children with neuropsychiatric features of SC.
Methods: Participants were recruited from neuropsychiatry referrals to a regional paediatric neurology department in Glasgow, Scotland, from 2009 to 2012.

Background: Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) have been used for decades in countless households and industrial products. Many PFAS do not degrade and are thus ubiquitous in the environment and within organisms. Humans are primarily exposed to PFAS through ingestion and inhalation, and such exposure has been associated with several health effects.

Background: Symptoms of anxiety and depression are very common among healthcare workers (HCWs) and could impact the quality of care.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of these disorders in a public health company and their association with work ability and work-related stress.
Methods: A cross-sectional study involved 80 HCWs being treated for mental disorders (MD), 55 HCWs who said they suffered from MD but were not being treated, and 824 healthy colleagues.
