Laws, Policies, and Collective Agreements Protecting Low-wage and Digital Platform Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this commentary describes and compares shifting employment and occupational health social protections of low-wage workers, including self-employed digital platform workers. Through a focus on eight advanced economy countries, this paper identifies how employment misclassification and definitions of employees were handled in law and policy. Debates about minimum wage and occupational health and safety standards as they relate to worker well-being are considered.

Intraluminal deposits: A rare cause of glaucoma drainage implant total obstruction.

Purpose: To report the unforeseen complication of total obstruction of a glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) tube lumen by white deposit material and to present a preliminary report identifying the composition of this material.

Methods: Two subjects with a high IOP due to total obstruction of a GDI tube were reviewed. Both patients had a long history with brinzolamide and timolol maleate eye drops.

Discrimination between Pancreatic Cancer, Pancreatitis and Healthy Controls Using Urinary Polyamine Panel.

Backround: Polyamines play an important role in cellular proliferation, and the change in polyamine metabolism is reported in various cancers. We searched for urinary polyamine signature for distinguishing between pancreatic cancer, premalignant lesions of the pancreas (PLP), acute and chronic pancreatitis, and controls.

Methods: Patients and controls were prospectively recruited in three Finnish hospitals between October 2013 and June 2016.

Preserving client autonomy when guiding medicine taking in telehomecare: A conversation analytic case study.

Enhancing client autonomy requires close coordination of interactional practices between nurse and client, which can cause challenges when interaction takes place in video-mediated settings. While video-mediated services have become more common, it remains unclear how they shape client autonomy in telehomecare. To analyse how video mediation shapes client autonomy when nurses guide medicine taking remotely through video-mediated home care.

Long-term subjective results and radiologic prognosis of a distal radius fracture in working-aged patients - a prognostic cohort study of 201 patients.

Objective: To investigate long-term outcomes associated with distal radius fracture (DRF) in working-aged patients. The authors hypothesized that the majority of patients experience no permanent loss of function when measured with patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE).

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with a DRF aged between 18 and 65 years.

Experiences of people with memory disorders and their spouse carers on influencing formal care: "They ask my wife questions that they should ask me".

Background: People with memory disorders often need care and help from family carers and health and social care providers. Due to the deterioration of cognitive capacity and language skills, they may be unable to convey their thoughts and care preferences to other people. As a result, their agency may become restricted.

Nurses' Participation in the Design of an Intensive Care Unit: The Use of Virtual Mock-Ups.

Background: Co-design with multiple tools is useful when end users' knowledge is important, especially when designers work with people unfamiliar with design. Many studies have highlighted the importance of nurses' participation in design, and such participation requires the development of techniques and tools to facilitate collaboration. This article analyzes how nurses participated in designing a general intensive care unit in a walk-in virtual environment (VE) and examines how their work-related knowledge can be transferred to the design process of spaces.
