Objective: This research explores whether having accommodation needs met reduces job disruptions.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey (n = 955) of Canadians working with physical and/or mental/cognitive disabilities was used to assess the association between having workplace accommodations (ie, flexibility, modifications) needs met and four types of job disruptions. Analyses used marginal effects models to adjust for demographic and work context variables.

Results: Participants with work modification needs met had a 7.7% decrease in lost work time. Participants with workplace flexibility needs met had a 9.9% increase in lost work time. Having workplace flexibility or modification needs met were not associated with the other job disruption outcomes.

Conclusions: Modifications may help to reduce lost work time for workers with disabilities. Flexibility may increase lost time, which is explained by it enabling workers to attend to personal needs during working hours.

Introduction: The burden of severe asthma on patients, especially on those with concomitant chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), is substantial. Treatment intensification with oral corticosteroids is a common strategy for managing severe asthma exacerbations; however, prolonged exposure to systemic corticosteroids is associated with multisystem toxicity. This study aimed to quantify the association between oral corticosteroid use and annual asthma-related costs in patients with severe asthma with or without CRSwNP.

Background: Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) are a common reason for Emergency Department (ED) visits and represent a significant public health issue. Patients experiencing TIAs often face significant delays in undergoing various tests due to ED overcrowding and limited availability of neurologists. Emergency physicians (EPs) and neurologists have identified several criteria for allowing outpatient management.

The tumor suppressor fragile histidine triad (FHIT) is frequently lost in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We previously showed that a down-regulation of FHIT causes an up-regulation of the activity of HER2 associated to an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that lung tumor cells harboring a FHIT/pHER2 phenotype are sensitive to anti-HER2 drugs. Here, we sought to decipher the FHIT-regulated HER2 signaling pathway in NSCLC.

Background: In the last decade, we have demonstrated that the brain-enriched E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM9 regulates cytoskeletal dynamics, membrane remodeling, and netrin-dependent signaling pathways in all stages of neuron development, including the maturation of dendritic spines and electrophysiological activity. Moreover, TRIM9 protein levels increase in the adult brain and are maintained throughout adulthood. In the adult mouse TRIM9 is enriched within the postsynaptic density (PSD), a proteinaceous rich region in the post synapse, containing neurotransmitter receptors, scaffolding proteins, and cytoskeletal elements.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is defined by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau. AD patients often exhibit other symptoms like metabolic and sleep dysfunction. Currently, it is unclear if impairments are a cause or consequence of Aβ or tau aggregation.
