A new health impact index, excess cost, is advocated for identifying jobs in need of further study regarding ergonomic problems. The excess cost index is compared with incidence rate, excess count, and severity rate indices in terms of concept and appropriateness to the purpose. The four indices are illustrated with data regarding medical leave from an automobile assembly plant and evaluated in...

BACKGROUND Excessive gestational weight gain is associated with short and long-term adverse maternal and infant health outcomes, independent of pre-pregnancy body mass index. Weighing pregnant women as a stand-alone intervention during antenatal visits is suggested to reduce pregnancy weight gain. In the absence of effective interventions to reduce excessive gestational gain within the real wor...

conclusions our findings suggest a strong relationship between eds and obesity, particularly morbid obesity. therefore, physicians must be familiar with eds as a mixed clinical entity indicating careful assessment and specific treatment planning. results sleepiness was not affected by gender in cases or controls. the sleepiness prevalence was 29 (52.7%) in the cases group and 17 (30.9%) in the ...

BACKGROUND Excessive gestational weight gain is associated with postpartum weight retention and downstream child obesity. Dopamine plays a critical role in the regulation of energy intake and body weight. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between excessive gestational weight gain and dopamine pathway-related polymorphisms, namely the variable nucleotide tandem repeat in ...

PRECIS During the management of cesarean scar pregnancy, gestational mass size >6 cm, uterine scar thickness <0.2 cm, peak systolic velocity >70 cm/s, and resistance index <0.35 are independent risk factors for excessive hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with excessive hemorrhage during the management of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP)....

Obsessive-compulsive personality (OCP) traits are also important risk factors for AN. Since excessive exercise has also been associated with greater obsessiona...
