Introduction: Alternate work is known to cause physical and mental health disorders for employees that can alter their quality of life and sleep.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to evaluate workers quality of life and sleep in situations of alternate work.

Results: In total, 391 workers answered the questionnaire. According to the type of schedule, 320 employees worked alternately on a 2×8 shift schedule and 71 worked on a permanent night shift schedule. The group of employees working at night had a better quality of life than the group of employees working in 2×8 in terms of both their physical and mental scores (P < 10-3). Type 2×8 workers were found to have excessive daytime sleepiness as compared to those on fixed night schedules.

Conclusions: Shortly, we can deduce from this study that alternating day shift work causes a deterioration of workers' quality of life of and generates sleep disorders..

Aim: To synthesise the evidence from clinical trials and observational studies using omics techniques to investigate the impact of diet and lifestyle factors on metabolite profile in pregnancy, and in the prevention and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using PubMed, Ovid, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases in October 2023 and updated in September 2024. Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials (RCT) or non-RCTs in pregnant women with or without GDM, that measured diet and lifestyle factors, and which applied post-transcriptional omics approaches.

A spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), which, if left untreated, can result not only in urinary incontinence and an increased risk of urinary tract infections and kidney dysfunction but may also pose a vital threat to people with SCI. Comprehensive neurourological assessments, including patient history and combined video urodynamics, are essential to accurately classify dysfunction and establish therapeutic strategies. Treatment options include, among others, medications for detrusor regulation, intermittent catheterization, and, if necessary, surgical interventions from intradetrusor botulinum toxin A injections to sacral deafferentation.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to outline considerations for treating older adults with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) as it relates to infection, comorbidities, cancer, and quality of life.

Recent Findings: The recent 2023 American College of Rheumatology/American College of Chest Physicians guideline conditionally recommended specific disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), antifibrotics, and short-term glucocorticoids to treat RA-ILD. Since RA-ILD often affects older adults, we contextualize these pharmacologic options related to infection, gastrointestinal (GI) effects, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and quality of life.

Purpose: The etiology of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has been shown to significantly influence baseline parent-reported health-related quality of life (HrQOL). In combining these etiology groups, we obligatorily lump together many disparate diagnoses, particularly true in the neuromuscular (NM) cohort. We sought to evaluate the influence of underlying neuromuscular diagnosis on the HrQOL at 5 years following surgery for EOS.

Uncontrollable cancer cell growth is characterized by the maintenance of cellular homeostasis through the continuous accumulation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles. This review delineates the roles of two complementary and synergistic degradation systems, the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and the autophagy-lysosome system, in the degradation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles for intracellular recycling. We emphasize the interconnected decision-making processes of degradation systems in maintaining cellular homeostasis, such as the biophysical state of substrates, receptor oligomerization potentials (e.
