Abstract
Introduction It has been shown that people with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of synovitis and tenosynovitis, but previous studies were mainly observational, which may be biased and does not allow for a cause-and-effect relationship. Therefore, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal relationship. Method We obtained data on "type 2 diabetes" and "synovitis, tenosynovitis" from published large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The data were obtained from the FinnGen consortium and UK Biobank, both from European population samples. We used three methods to perform a two-sample MR analysis and also performed sensitivity analysis. Results The results of all three MR methods we used for the analysis illustrated that T2DM increases the risk factor for the development of synovitis and tenosynovitis. Specifically, for the IVW method as the primary analysis outcome, OR = 1.0015 (95% CI, 1.0005 to 1.0026), P = 0.0047; for the MR Egger method as the supplementary analysis outcome, OR = 1.0032 (95% CI, 1.0007 to 1.0056), P = 0.0161; for the weighted median method, OR = 1.0022 (95% CI, 1.0008 to 1.0037), p = 0.0018. In addition, the results of our sensitivity analysis suggest the absence of heterogeneity and pleiotropy in our MR analysis. Conclusion In conclusion, the results of our MR analysis suggest that T2DM is an independent risk factor for increased synovitis and tenosynovitis.

Shimizu HE, Bezerra JC, Arantes LJ, Merchán-Hamann E, Ramalho W. Analysis of work-related accidents and ill-health in Brazil since the introduction of the accident prevention factor. BMC Public Health 2021; 21:725. [PMID: 33853572 PMCID: PMC8048148 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-10706-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 03/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Since 2004, Brazil has had a national policy for occupational health and safety. This policy means companies' tax burden is altered according to the numbers of work-related accidents and ill-health amongst their workers. In 2010, a multiplication factor was introduced to this policy, called the Accident Prevention Factor. The idea of this new multiplication factor is to encourage individual employers to take initiatives to prevent accidents and ill health in the workplace. This study was designed to investigate the incidence of work-related accidents and ill-health in Brazil according to their causes, their severity, and the economic activity in which they occur, and to compare the data before and after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor. METHODS An ecological study was conducted by analyzing the time series of work-related accidents/ill-health between 2008 and 2014 from the Brazilian social security system (Previdência Social) statistical yearbooks. Incidences were calculated per cause, economic activity, and severity of the accident/ill-health. Data from before and after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor were compared using the Mann-Whitney test per cause and per economic activity. Statistical analyses were made using the SPSS software, with significance set at 5%. RESULTS A reduction in the incidence of work-related accidents/ill-health was found across all the groups of causes analyzed, except for the groups "external causes of morbidity and mortality" and "factors influencing health status and contact with health services." Greater reductions were found for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue and diseases of the nervous system. Reductions in work-related accidents/ill-health were found in the different economic activities and in the different severity groups. The highest reduction after the introduction of the Accident Prevention Factor was in manufacturing and production (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Overall, the incidence of accidents/ill-health was found to be on decline, except those with external causes of morbidity and mortality and those involving factors influencing health status and contact with health services. The biggest reduction was found in manufacturing and production. However, generally speaking progress still needs to be made in accident prevention and occupational health across a whole range of work environments.

J Rheumatol 2018; 45:811-817. [PMID: 29657139 DOI: 10.3899/jrheum.170765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 11/29/2017] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence rates of peripheral joint, enthesis, tendon, and bursa abnormalities by power Doppler (PD) ultrasonic examination in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriatic patients without clinical signs of arthritis (non-PsA psoriasis group), and healthy individuals, to detect subclinical PsA. METHODS A total of 253 healthy volunteers, 242 non-PsA psoriatic patients, and 86 patients with PsA were assessed by 2-dimensional and power Doppler (PD) ultrasound. Peripheral joint, enthesis, tendon, and bursa abnormalities were observed, characterizing abnormal PD. The affected patients and sites with abnormalities in various ages were compared among groups; PD signal grades for the abnormalities were also compared. RESULTS In the PsA group, significantly higher percentages of sites showing joint effusion/synovitis, enthesitis, and tenosynovitis in all age groups, and markedly higher rates of sites with bursitis were found in young and middle age groups, compared with the non-PsA and control groups (all p < 0.01). Meanwhile, the non-PsA group showed significantly higher rates of joint effusion/synovitis and enthesitis sites, and elevated PD signal grades of synovitis, enthesitis, and tenosynovitis in comparison with the control group, both in young and middle age groups (all p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with PsA have high percentages and PD signal grades of peripheral joint, tendon, enthesis, and bursa involvement. Young and middle-aged non-PsA patients have high synovitis and enthesitis percentages, and elevated PD signal grades of synovitis, enthesitis, and tenosynovitis.
