With the reorganization of the grassroots structure and economic readjustment, the commune- and brigade-run plants have now been changed to district (town)- and village-run plants, respectively, and the role of industrial production has become more important to the total income of the people. The Qi-yi Commune (District) is a good example. The number of plants showed an increase of 80% from 1975 to 1983, whereas the number of workers increased by 149%. The number of workers as a percentage of the total population of the district grew from 10% to about 25%. The rapid progress of industry led to a need to promote occupational health services as part of primary health care. This article reviews the implementation of such services with the objective of attaining the goal "Health for all by the year 2000."

March 2025
Physiotherapy Research Unit, Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK.
This project aimed to explore the experiences of occupational therapists working in a specialist orthopedic hospital. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eight occupational therapists working with total hip replacement patients, in an orthopedic hospital within the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) as part of a service review project. The data was recorded and transcribed and analyzed using the Reflexive Thematic Analysis.

Background: There is an international epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause (CKDu) in agricultural working populations. Particulate air pollution is a likely contributing factor in populations at risk for CKDu, but there is little personal breathing zone data for these workers.
Methods: We collected 1 to 3 personal breathing zone particulate matter <5 microns (PM5) gravimetric measurements in 143 male sugarcane harvesters over 2 seasons and concurrent ambient samples using personal sampling pumps and cyclone inlets as a sampling train.
Deep Learning Estimation of Small Airways Disease from Inspiratory Chest CT: Clinical Validation, Repeatability, and Associations with Adverse Clinical Outcomes in COPD.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med
March 2025
University of Iowa, Radiology and Biomedical Engineering, Iowa City, Iowa, United States;
Rationale: Quantifying functional small airways disease (fSAD) requires additional expiratory computed tomography (CT) scan, limiting clinical applicability. Artificial intelligence (AI) could enable fSAD quantification from chest CT scan at total lung capacity (TLC) alone (fSAD).
Objectives: To evaluate an AI model for estimating fSAD, compare it with dual-volume parametric response mapping fSAD (fSAD), and assess its clinical associations and repeatability in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Investigating Motor Coordination Using BXD Recombinant Inbred Mice to Model the Genetic Underpinnings of Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Genes Brain Behav
April 2025
Department of Medical Genetics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
The fundamental skills for motor coordination and motor control emerge through development. Neurodevelopmental disorders such as developmental coordination disorder (DCD) lead to impaired acquisition of motor skills. This study investigated motor behaviors that reflect the core symptoms of human DCD through the use of BXD recombinant inbred strains of mice that are known to have divergent phenotypes in many behavioral traits, including motor activity.

March 2025
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.
Purpose: Sedentary behavior (SB) contributes to the heightened risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in endometrial cancer survivors (ECS). This feasibility study aimed to evaluate key outcomes to assess the practicality of SB reduction interventions for ECS. Secondary aims included SB domain assessment and preliminary efficacy testing of the relationship between SB and arterial stiffness.
