Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical value of preoperative colonoscopy combined with right gastroepiploic vein preservation (RGV) in radical resection of colorectal cancer for right colon cancer. METHODS A total of 120 patients with right colon cancer in our hospital from February 2019 to October 2021 were selected and randomly divided into study group (RGV preserved during operation) and control group (RGV not preserved during operation), with 60 cases in each group. Perioperative parameters, intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), total protein (TP), D-lactate (D-LA), quality of life scale (SF-36) scores, incidence of complications, and tumor recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Duration of hospitalization was shorter in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). Six months after surgery, I-FABP, D-LA levels and PSQI scores were lower, and TP levels and SF-36 scores were higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (11.67% vs. 33.33%) was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in tumor recurrence rate 6 months after operation between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative colonoscopy combined with RGV preservation in radical resection of colorectal cancer for right colon cancer can avoid surgical trauma caused by unnecessary transection, reduce gastrointestinal function damage, promote physical rehabilitation and shorten hospital stay, and reduce the risk of complications such as gastroparesis.

Abstract
There has been a significant decline in worker productivity at construction sites globally owing to the increase in accidents and fatalities due to unsafe behavior among workers. Although many studies have explored the incidence of unsafe behaviors among construction workers, limited studies have attempted to evaluate the causal factors and to determine the root causes. An integrative interpretive structural modeling analysis of the interrelationships that exist between these causal factors established from relevant literature was conducted in this study to determine the root factors hence bridging this gap. Fifteen causal factors were identified through literature review, and the nature of interrelationships between them was determined using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and a Cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis. Data was obtained from a purposively selected cohort of experts using semi-structured interviews. The emergent data was subsequently analyzed using the ISM and MICMAC analysis to ascertain the interrelationships between the causal factors. The results of the study showed that age, sleep quality, degree of interaction and workers' skillsets were the root causes of unsafe behavior among construction workers. Besides engendering the establishment of the root causes of unsafe behavior among construction workers, the results of this study will facilitate the prioritization of appropriate solutions for tackling the menace.

Mabry JE, Camden M, Miller A, Sarkar A, Manke A, Ridgeway C, Iridiastadi H, Crowder T, Islam M, Soccolich S, Hanowski RJ. Unravelling the Complexity of Irregular Shiftwork, Fatigue and Sleep Health for Commercial Drivers and the Associated Implications for Roadway Safety. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:14780. [PMID: 36429498 PMCID: PMC9690622 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192214780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Fatigue can be a significant problem for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. The lifestyle of a long-haul CMV driver may include long and irregular work hours, inconsistent sleep schedules, poor eating and exercise habits, and mental and physical stress, all contributors to fatigue. Shiftwork is associated with lacking, restricted, and poor-quality sleep and variations in circadian rhythms, all shown to negatively affect driving performance through impaired in judgment and coordination, longer reaction times, and cognitive impairment. Overweight and obesity may be as high as 90% in CMV drivers, and are associated with prevalent comorbidities, including obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension, and cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. As cognitive and motor processing declines with fatigue, driver performance decreases, and the risk of errors, near crashes, and crashes increases. Tools and assessments to determine and quantify the nature, severity, and impact of fatigue and sleep disorders across a variety of environments and populations have been developed and should be critically examined before being employed with CMV drivers. Strategies to mitigate fatigue in CMV operations include addressing the numerous personal, health, and work factors contributing to fatigue and sleepiness. Further research is needed across these areas to better understand implications for roadway safety.

Van der Watt ASJ, Dalvie N, Seedat S. Weekly telephone mood monitoring is associated with decreased suicidality and improved sleep quality in a clinical sample. Psychiatry Res 2022; 317:114821. [PMID: 36088835 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2022.114821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2021] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Sleep disturbances and suicidality are common presentations of mood and anxiety disorders. If not closely monitored post-discharge, patients may be at an increased risk of symptom worsening and completed suicide. We explored the associations between telephone mood monitoring, suicidality, and sleep quality in a clinical sample. Fifty inpatients (mean age = 39.49, SD = 11.17; female = 74%) with a mood and/or anxiety disorder were telephonically monitored weekly post-discharge for16 weeks for depression and mania. Suicidality and sleep quality were assessed at intake (pre-discharge), and at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 post-discharge. ANOVA indicated that suicidality significantly decreased, and sleep quality improved over 16 weeks. Linear regression analysis indicated that depression severity at week 1 post-discharge significantly predicted suicidality and sleep quality at week 16. Mania severity at week 1 post-discharge predicted sleep quality, but not suicidality, at week 16. Participants generally had positive experiences of the monitoring and perceived it as helpful. Monitoring of mood state, suicidality, and sleep quality post-discharge may allow for early detection of relapse when initiated at 1-week post-discharge. This is a potentially cost-effective intervention and may relieve the burden on the mental healthcare system, especially when face-to-face consultations are not possible.

Sathvik S, Krishnaraj L, Irfan M. Evaluation of sleep quality and duration using wearable sensors in shift laborers of construction industry: A public health perspective. Front Public Health 2022; 10:952901. [PMID: 36203668 PMCID: PMC9530656 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.952901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Approximately 21% of the workers in developing and developed countries are shift laborers. The laborer's work shifts can affect personal life and sleep standards, adversely impacting laborers and their manage. This study assesses the impact of various shift plans (seven evenings/7 days, fixed-night or fixed-day, and backup shifts) on shift laborers, considering four shift schedules. Most laborers were on rotational shifts, whereas others were on a permanent day, permanent night, and standby shifts. In a cross-sectional study, 45 development laborers from the National Construction firm were enlisted. Bio-wearable sensors were provided to monitor sleep. Participants were approached and asked to complete a survey bundle comprising the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS). Differences in sleep models were estimated using a Fitbit watch at various shift schedules. The average age of laborers who participated in the study was 37.5 years, and their average experience in the construction company was 6.5 years. The average total sleep time was 346 ± 46 min. The rotational shift laborers yielded the minimum total sleep time compared to the average PSQI and ESS scores of 7.66 ± 1.3 and 6.94 ± 3.4, respectively. Fifteen shift laborers (33.33%) were affected by a sleeping disorder in the present experimental investigation, and 30 participants had inadequate standards of sleep based on the PSQI scores. Poor sleep quality and duration among construction shift laborers decrease productivity at work. Additional studies are expected to assess sleep-related issues affecting construction shift laborers.
