Limited Agreement Between Perceptual and Physiological Heat Strain at Initial Stay Times for Continuous Work in the Heat Before Heat Alleviation Controls

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate assessment of heat strain at initial stay time (IST; core temperature 38.0°C or Δ1.0°C above resting), when heat mitigation decisions are required, is critical for managing occupational heat exposure. We evaluated the relationship and agreement between physiological (Physiological Strain Index [PSI] and adaptive PSI [aPSI]

Timing of Work‐Rest Implementation Influences Worker Productivity Under Heat Stress: Evidence for Initial Stay Time‐Based Scheduling

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Work‐rest allocations recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) limit heat strain and are typically implemented from the onset of work. Whether delaying implementation until after the initial stay time (IST; the duration of continuous work before core temperature reaches 38.0°C) improves ...

Initial Stay Time and Work‐Rest Scheduling During Consecutive Heavy‐Intensity Workdays in Hot Environments in Young and Older Males

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study examined initial stay times (IST), defined as the duration of uninterrupted work before core temperature approaches recommended safety limits (38.0°C, ~1.0°C above baseline), and the efficacy of work‐rest cycles during repeated heavy work across consecutive workdays in young and older males.

Patient and Family Reported Clinical Picture of IRF2BPL‐Related Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IRF2BPL‐related disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the IRF2BPL (Interferon Regulatory Factor 2 Binding Protein‐Like) gene. The few reports available in the literature suggest that common symptoms include developmental delay, intellectual disability, and developmental regression.

A Novel Splice Variant in ERGIC1 Causes Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita—Characterization Using Urine‐Derived Cells

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is defined as the presence of joint contractures affecting at least two body regions at birth. Three different ERGIC1 variants have been reported in individuals with AMC. Here, we report on a 16‐year‐old male with a homozygous ERGIC1 c.250+1G>A variant that was classified as a variant of uncertain ...

Psychometric Evaluation of the Importance of Olfaction Questionnaire Using Item Response Theory

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
Key Points The IOQ measures the value patients place on olfaction, a construct distinct from disease burden. The IOQ is most precise across the central trait range typical of routine ENT patients. Association items carry most measurement information, enabling a brief affective screen.
