Department of Orthopaedics, Queens University, Kingston K7L 3N6, Canada.
Background: Work-related injuries have gained recent attention, especially in the orthopaedic literature. As upper extremity orthopaedic surgical tasks require repetitive and constant maneuvers, these surgeons can be at increased risk of acquiring work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders during their years in practice.
Aim: To assess the prevalence, characteristics and impact of MSK disorders among upper extremity orthopaedic surgeons.

Article Synopsis
- Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are utilized in various industries, including food, cosmetics, medicine, and electronics, but can impact human biomolecules and metabolism negatively when introduced into the body.
- Understanding these metabolic disruptions is crucial for timely risk assessment (RA) of ENM.
- The proposal suggests using multitiered untargeted metabolomics to effectively identify and evaluate the metabolic changes caused by new ENM, thus improving the transparency of the risk assessment process.
