Lifestyle factors associated with presenteeism among city government office workers : a cross-sectional study
No full textObjectives, Presenteeism is a critical issue in occupational health. This study aimed to examine the association between presenteeism and subjective sleep quality, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Methods, Anonymous data of 777 workers in a Japanese city were retrospectively obtained from City Government Office A. They included variables like absolute presenteeism scores (measured using the Japanese version of the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire short form), gender, age, family status, subjective sleep quality, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed with gender, age, family status, subjective sleep quality, smoking status, and alcohol consumption as the independent variables, and absolute presenteeism scores equal to or below 40 as the dependent variable. A gender-stratified binary logistic regression analysis was also performed. Results, The logistic regression analysis results revealed that absolute presenteeism was positively associated with poor subjective sleep quality among all respondents (odds ratio [OR], 1.70; 95% CI, 1.18-2.44) and men (OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.12-3.05) and with currentdrinkers among women (OR, 3.49; 95% CI, 1.36-8.92); it was negatively associated with age among those who were ≥50 years old (OR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.27-0.93) and with current drinkers among men (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.20-0.92). Conclusions, The factors associated with presenteeism differed between men and women office workers, suggesting that gender differences need to be considered when working toward improving workers’ productivit

Commitment profiles among nurses: combinations of organizational commitment forms and work engagement, psychological distress, and turnover intention
Get PDFTo clarify the combined effect of the sub-factors of organizational commitment, this study examined the relationships between organizational commitment profiles and work engagement, psychological distress, and turnover intention among nurses. A cross-sectional survey was conducted; 455 nurses (38 men and 417 women) were included in the statistical analysis. We extracted six clusters through k-means cluster analysis and applied a one-way analysis of variance and χ2 test for work engagement, psychological distress, and turnover intention. Consequently, significant differences were found in work engagement and turnover intention (both p<0.05), and no significant difference was found in psychological distress. These results indicate the formation of affective and normative commitment among nurses in working energetically or preventing turnover. Additionally, no negative effects related to increases in continuance commitment were identified in this study
Familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with Alport-like glomerular basement changes caused by paired box protein 2 gene variant
Get PDFPaired box protein 2 (PAX2) gene variant causes renal coloboma syndrome (MIM#120330). Further, they are associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and characterized by basement membrane changes similar to Alport syndrome.Herein, we report an 8-year-old boy who presented with proteinuria and decreased renal function. His paternal uncle has focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and renal failure, and his paternal grandmother has renal failure and is receiving peritoneal dialysis. Further, his father has stage 2 chronic kidney disease. At 3 years of age, his serum creatinine-estimated glomerular filtration rate was 40-50 mL/min/1.73 m2. At 8 years of age, his renal function further decreased and he had proteinuria (urinary protein/Cr 3.39 g/g Cr). Renal histopathology showed oligonephronia and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. A partial basket-weave pattern, similar to Alport syndrome, was also observed on a transmission electron microscope, and low-vacuum scanning electron microscopy revealed coarse meshwork changes in the glomerular basement membrane. Genetic analysis revealed a PAX2 heterozygous variant (NM_003987.4:c.959C > G), a nonsense variant in which the serine at position 320 changes to a stop codon, in our patient and his father. PAX2 is a transcription factor that is important for the podocyte variant. However, podocytes with PAX2 gene variants may cause abnormal basement membrane production and repair, thereby resulting in Alport-like changes
