Indonesia is an archipelago nation that structures its health services through a stratified system. The public health center serves as the institution responsible for providing primary care services and undertaking various public goods initiatives, including promoting occupational health among workers in the informal sector. Integrated Occupational Health Services Post (Indonesian: Pos Upaya Kesehatan Kerja [Pos UKK]) is a community-based initiatives supported by public health centers that aims to address health-related issues among workers through a community participation model. Although the program appears to be well-suited to the country's conditions, several challenges have emerged. This paper introduces the practical application of the program in the Province of Jakarta.

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.

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).

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.

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.
