Objective: Work-related falls have been recognized as a serious problem in occupational health in recent years. We investigated the effect of presenteeism on work-related falls.
Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study and included older workers in a single retail company. We used the degree of presenteeism (assessed using the Work Functioning Impairment Scale: WFun) as the independent variable and the number of work-related falls as the dependent variable. We estimated incidence rate ratios (IRR) by multilevel Poisson regression analysis.
Results: Increasing WFun score was associated with increasing IRR for the number of work-related falls (p for trend = 0.005).
Conclusions: We found that presenteeism was associated with work-related falls among older workers in the retail sector. This study suggests that the measurement of presenteeism may also represent a proxy measurement of the risk of work-related falls.

Psychedelic therapy has the potential to become a revolutionary and transdiagnostic mental health treatment, yielding enduring benefits that are often attributed to the experiences that coincide with peak psychedelic effects. However, there may be an underrecognized temporal structure to this process that helps explain why psychedelic and related altered states of consciousness can have an initially distressing but ultimately distress-resolving effect. Here we present a qualitative analysis of the self-reported 'come-up' or onset phase, and 'come-down' or falling phase, of the psychedelic experience.

Traumatic brain injury remains a significant concern in public health, affecting millions of individuals globally and leading to long-term cognitive and physical impairments. Historically, research in this field has primarily focused on male subjects, often neglecting to consider the substantial biomechanical and anatomical differences between genders and individuals of varying ages. The present study investigates sex-specific biomechanical responses to head impacts in real-world accidents, employing an advanced female finite element head model, with a particular focus on critical brain structures such as the corpus callosum and pituitary gland.
