Abstract

Background Working in shift especially night shift could alter alertness level, increase fatigue, and working accident. One of the factors that affect the circadian rhythm were melatonin. Melatonin was a hormone that regulate the wake and sleep cycle that have an impact on alertness levels. This study was aimed to find correlation between plasma melatonin and alertness level. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 female night shift nurses. Individual characteristics were obtained by self-administered questionnaire. Plasma melatonin concentrations and alertness level was collected twice at night time (11 pm – 00 am) and at morning (7 am − 8 am). Spearman or Pearson test was used to find correlation between melatonin concentrations and Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT). Results Mean age was 28.4 (±4.9) years with working experience varied from 1-16 years. Plasma melatonin concentrations among female night shift nurses were higher before working hours than after duty. Range of plasma melatonin value was 10-240 pg/ml and Alertness was in the same manner with average alertness level at night was 301.2 ± 51.6 ms and 293.2± 49.7 ms at morning. There was a weak correlation between plasma melatonin concentration and alertness level difference before and after duty (r = 0.37; p = 0.016). Conclusion There was weak correlation between plasma melatonin and alertness level in night shift workers before and after duty. To Maintain alertness level reduction and melatonin secretion, night shift workers should rest at least 30 minutes during their working hours, always keep the lights on while on duty and should not work more than one shift on the same day, and providing healthy foods.

Abstract

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are organohalogen compounds that can inhibit fire formation and delay its spread in manufacturing materials. BFRs are known to be toxic for the environment and humans. BFRs could persist for years prolonging potential exposure and toxicity to living beings. Indonesia had begun to reduce the use, even though some of toxic BFRs are still illegally circulating. This review aims to describe some aspects of BFRs toxicity including the mechanism, its clinical manifestations, and the current possible treatments. Toxicity after BFRs exposure includes endocrine, neurodevelopmental, and genotoxicity. The toxicity is manifested into some clinical conditions such as hypothyroidism, gonadal disturbance, or neurological disorders. Currently no definitive specific treatment is available, so the treatment is focused on primary survey as well as surface decontamination with running water and gastrointestinal decontamination with activated charcoal of some dose if the ingestion is less than 1 hour.

Abstract

VIGILANCE SCREENING TOOLS IN THE WORKPLACE: SCOPING REVIEW ABSTRACT Background: Vigilance performance examination is currently used widely in many disciplines, neurophysiology, sleep medicine, psychology to its application to workers whose daily activities require prime vigilance. A more objective inspection of vigilance has not yet become a routine screening examination for workers to detect decreased vigilance as part of a fit-to-work assessment, but only in the form of research / study using a partial sampling technique. The aim is to provide an overview of vigilance screening tools in the workplace, its terminologies and how the process of maintaining quality such as calibration and validation. Methods: A literature search was independently conducted from the Pubmed database. We are looking for only articles that meet the following criteria: discussions on the terminology of vigilance, or research on workers that use vigilance examination tools, or research that develops its examination tools. Results: Three articles were found that specifically discussed the term vigilance, 30 studies on workers that used vigilance performance examination tools, and 15 studies discussing the development of these tools. The definition of vigilance is still not firmly established and has been used interchangeably and leading to confusion. Workplace research has used product-based smart devices rather than dedicated hardware, as well as a number of studies that have focused on tools development. Conclusion: Vigilance is the capability to be aware of potentially relevant or capability to be sensitive to unpredictable changes in one's environment including a quantitative and a temporal dimension. Although vigilance testing may not pinpoint the exact cause of vigilance decrement, using it as a screening tool in workplace holds great potential. Smart-device-based tools are relatively easy to obtain and inexpensive, but face enormous challenges related to calibration issues, validation issues, manufacturer's service of life, and firmware updates. It's important to consider vigilance screening tools with low-cost, portable, robust, future-proof, and easily validated with clear calibration or validation methods.

Abstract

Evidence Based Case Report: Examining the Chelating Effectiveness of Dimercaptosuccinic Acid and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid Calcium Disodium in Patients with Lead Poisoning Heru Alfares1, Reza A. Rafsanzani1, Muchtaruddin Mansyur2 1 Occupational Medicine Specialist Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, 2 Dept. of Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, ABSTRACT Background: Lead environmental and occupational exposures harm workers’ health, both acute and chronic lead poisoning. Chelation therapy is one of the treatments for lead poisoning using several chelating agents available, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), dimercaptopropanesulfonate (DMPS), and 2,3-dimercaptopropanol or British Anti Lewisite (BAL). However, the use of these chelating agents varies and lacks standardised guidelines for lead poisoning cases. Objective: To determine whether DMSA can be a better chelating agent than EDTA in treating lead poisoning among workers. Methods: This study conducted a literature search using evidence-based databases focusing on clinical questions using the “PICO” method. The author searched the relevant articles using the following databases: “PubMed,” “Cochrane Library,” and “EMBASE.” The keywords used included “lead poisoning,” “lead intoxication,” “EDTA” (MESH Term), “Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic,” “edetic acid” (MESH Term), “succimer” (MESH Term), “Dimercaptosuccinic Acid,” along with their synonyms combined with Boolean operators. Inclusion criteria comprised studies involving adult populations aged >18 years, non-pregnant individuals, therapeutic research areas, systematic reviews/meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials or clinical trials, written in English, and with full-text availability. Exclusion criteria included articles with incomplete data or inaccessible full-text. Results: Based on the analysis of two reviewed literatures, the author obtained insights into the effectiveness of using DMSA compared to EDTA in cases of lead poisoning. DMSA can be administered orally, providing better chelation therapy efficacy than EDTA in treating lead poisoning. It effectively alleviates lead poisoning symptoms and reduces blood lead levels better than EDTA. Conclusion: DMSA can be considered an alternative chelating agent of choice for treating lead poisoning in workers. Keywords: Lead poisoning, Lead intoxication, EDTA, Ethylenedinitrilotetraacetic, succimer, Dimercaptosuccinic Acid.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction. Shift work is a common work system in textile factories. The shift system affects workers’ diet and nutritional needs. Malnutrition has a high potential in causing fatigue. Thus, additional food recommendations and nutritional education for this population are needed. Linear Programming (LP) can be used to create a Food Based Recommendation (FBR) for textile industry owners who employ female workers with a shift system. Local food ingredients can be used to optimize nutritional content. Objective. To analyze the effect of additional food recommendations on reaction time in female night shift workers. Methods. This study analyzed the diet and reaction time of 100 female workers in Rancaekek, Sumedang Regency using a quasi-experimental design. The data was combined with 24-hour food recall and 5 FFQ (5-days food-frequency questionnaire). Reaction time was evaluated using lakassidaya. LP uses the Optifood system to formulate a Food-Based Recommendation (FBR). Results. The difference in reaction time between pre-and post-intervention in the intervention group was 12.97 milliseconds (p = 0.006), while the difference in reaction time between the combined group was 8.18 milliseconds (p = 0.007). Conclusion. Adequate energy intake through recommended FBR was effective in reducing reaction time. Recommendations for additional food menus and nutrition education can be used by workers and company owners.
