“…Due to the small sample size of the white‐collar worker group, after analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of patients in each group, subsequent difference analysis removed the white‐collar worker group to increase statistical credibility 16 . Equal sample sizes can give a greater power to detect differences 17 . Thus, the unemployed group and blue‐collar worker group of patients were matched to the same sample size through the randomization method of digital table, forming new groups (unemployed group [ n = 299] and new blue‐collar worker group [ n = 299]), so as to improve the credibility of the study after defining the disease characteristics of patients with different occupations.…”

Objectives Understanding the occupational characteristics of patients is not only related to patients' life and health, but also conducive to improving their happiness. However, there were no studies that had been conducted on the relationship between occupation characteristic and postoperative recovery in patients with spinal fractures. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the occupation characteristics of patients with thoracolumbar fracture and the characteristics of disease injury, treatment, and recovery so as to reduce the incidence and improve postoperative rehabilitation. Methods Patients (n = 719) with thoracolumbar fractures were recruited. Patients were grouped according to the characteristic of occupations: unemployed group (n = 299), white‐collar worker group (n = 20), and blue‐collar worker group (n = 400). Data were collected, including the characteristics, injury and treatment information, and the recovery records for 1 year after operation. One‐way ANOVA analysis, χ2 test, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship among these factors. Results Male, high‐falling injuries and single segment injury (mainly T 11, T 12 and L2) were common in patients with thoracolumbar fractures, especially in the blue‐collar worker group (70.8%, 78.3%, and 85.4%). Compared with the unemployed group, the patients in the white‐collar worker group and blue‐collar worker group had a higher proportion of young patients, a higher height and weight, a lesser rate of hypertension or diabetes. One week after injury, 73.4% of patients underwent surgery, with the blue‐collar worker group accounted for the largest proportion. One month after surgery, 77.1% of patients were able to get out of bed, with the white‐collar worker group accounted for the largest proportion. In the postoperative recovery information, patients in the blue‐collar worker group were more likely to have severe low back pain (OR = 2.023, 95% CI: 1.440‐2.284) and pain‐disturbed sleep (OR = 2.287, 95% CI: 1.585‐3.299) than those who in the unemployed group. Conclusions Blue‐collar workers, with a high risk of thoracolumbar fracture, have a higher incidence of low back leg pain and pain‐disturbed sleep in the recovery after thoracolumbar fracture surgery, and this requires more attention.

“…Odor stimuli play a major role in the perception of food flavor, appetite, salivation, and release of enzyme and hormone secretion to the metabolism of foods (11). Olfactory bulb lesions lead to substantia nigra degeneration, mammary gland insults, Peyer's patches hyperplasia induced by infections, hypothyroidism, neuropsychiatric disorders, sexual problems, Hirschprung-like disease, and spermatogenesis disorders (10,(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). The findings summarized under this title are generally observed in PD.…”

Aim: Dry mouth has been considered a clinical finding of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but we think otherwise. We studied if the olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) might rely on the superior salivatory nucleus (SSN), submandibular ganglia (SMGn), and submandibular glands (SLGl) circuity disruption induced submandibular gland degeneration related dry mouth in rats. Material and Method: This study was carried out on twenty-six male rats. Five (GI-n=5), six (GII, n=6), and sixteen (GIII, n=15) of them were used as control, SHAM, and OBX groups, respectively, and followed eight weeks. PD-related clinical examinations were done before and after the experiment (1/day), and animals were decapitated. The olfactory bulb volumes (mm3), degenerated neuron densities of SSN/SMG (n/mm3 and SMGl follicles volumes were detected serologically. Olfactory bulb volume values and degenerated neuron density values of SSN/SMGn/SMGl follicles volumes were compared statistically. Results: OBX-applied animals showed anosmia, tremors, rigidity, and memory loss. The mean olfactory bulb volumes (mm3), degenerated neuron density of SSN (n/mm3), SMGn (n/mm3), and follicles volumes of SMGl (cubic micrometer/mm3) were measured in the order written as; (4.27±0.21), (4±1), (5±2), (81.23±13.34).106 in GI; (3.67±0.33), (14±3), (17±4), (72.45±11.78).106 in GII and (2.91±0.14), (23±5), (29±8), (57.19±11.93).106 in Group III. The mean P values between olfactory bulb volumes, degenerated neuron densities of SSN and SMGn, and salivary follicles volumes were: p

Background There are some reported musicians with cerebral tumors, but no comparative study of the survival status of musician and nonmusician patients with malignant cerebral tumors was made. This subject was investigated. Material and methods Musician people list with cerebral tumors was searched from the English Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_with_brain_tumors). Their survival status, ages, and gender were statistically compared with 30 nonmusician patients with cerebral malign tumors. Results 66 (Group 1 or Musician Group; MG) musicians with malignant tumors list were found from Wikipedia. Survival times of only 47 musicians could be reached from Wikipedia. The mean Survival of this group is 20.06 months, however, it was 13.10 months non-musician group, and the difference of survival was statistically significant (p < 0.05), however, ages and gender were not. Conclusion There is an interaction between music and brain anatomic structures. Our study showed that the survival status of musicians and non-musician with malign cerebral tumors is not the same. This result may be dependent on the altered musician's brain or neuronal plasticity, and the response of the musician's brain's to malign tumor. More studies are needed.
