Occupation has been associated with cognitive reserve in healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease. Here we assess the relationship between cerebral metabolic deficits in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and occupation characteristics. Using factor analysis, we derived verbal, physical and visuospatial occupation scores from the US Department of Labor, Occupational Information Net...

OBJECTIVES This study investigates the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by gender and socio-economic characteristics. It also explores the differences in the employment status between RA patients and the general population without RA in Korea. METHODS We analyzed data from the Fourth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES IV) conducted from 2007 to 2009. Preval...

In the present time study,dried activated sludge(DAS) and dried activated nano sludge(DANS) was used for the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solution in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of important parameters including the flow rate and bed height were examined. Dried activated nano sludge column regeneration using 1 M concentration of HNO3 has been studied.The Thomas model was used for the math...

We examined occupational and industrial differences in lung, gastric, and colorectal cancer risk among Japanese men of working age (25-64 years) using the 2010 Japanese national survey data for occupation and industry-specific death rates. Poisson regression models were used to estimate the age-adjusted incident rate ratios by lung, gastric, and colorectal cancers, with manufacturing used as th...

introduction: the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (bst) is a limbic structure which is involved in cardiovascular regulation and baroreflex modulation. the presence of cholinergic synaptic terminalis with high level of muscarinic receptors in the bst has been demonstrated. this study was performed to find the role of the cholinergic muscarinic receptor in cardiovascular response and baroref...

abstract introduction: neuro-occupation is one of the newest models in occupational therapy (ot). the nature of this model is based on the coexistence and dynamic interactions between brain’s neural system functions and engagement of an individual in occupations. neuro-occupation model holistically views the individual as a blending of neuroscience and occupation. the human brain is perceived t...
