Article Abstract
The policy proposal by the current Korean government that proposes flexible overtime rules is causing social controversy. This study has explored the 612 experts' opinions on the occupational safety and health impacts of the policy using an online self-report survey. They expected short-term overwork (87.25%), overwork inequality (86.44%), irregular working hours (84.31%), chronic overwork (84.15%), long working hours (83.66%), and unpredictability of working hours (81.86%) as a result of the policy change. They also responded that the policy change would increase industrial accident deaths (87.25%), mental illnesses (87.09%), deaths due to overwork or cardiovascular diseases (83.84%), and accidents (83.33%). They disagreed that the government's flexibilization policy, while agreeing that the necessity of policies on regulating night work (94.77%), guaranteeing wages to eliminate overtime (90.36%), establishing working time regulations for the bogus self-employed (82.84%), and applying the 52-hour workweek system to all workplaces (76.47%). These expert opinions are consistent with previous research on the health effects of working hours.

Background: Remote services (in which the patient and staff member are not physically colocated) and digital services (in which a patient encounter is digitally mediated in some way) were introduced extensively when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. We undertook a longitudinal qualitative study of the introduction, embedding, evolution and abandonment of remote and digital innovations in United Kingdom general practice. This synoptic paper summarises study design, methods, key findings, outputs and impacts to date.

Objective: Rare diseases collectively affect approximately 30 million people in the United States. Despite advances in genomic medicine, early diagnosis is challenging because of limited awareness of, accessibility to, and disparities in health care resources. We assessed the real-world experiences of patients with rare diseases in Pennsylvania and evaluated the effect of delayed diagnosis on psychosocial and financial burdens.

Introduction: Endurance athletes are expected to present a cardiac remodeling characterized by eccentric hypertrophy. Differentiation from underlying cardiomyopathy mimicking a similar cardiac remodeling may be challenging. Myocardial work indexes (MWI) have been shown to be useful in distinguishing between physiological adaption and pathological changes in the athletes' heart.

Introduction: The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a useful tool in the diagnosis of pathologies such as non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) or brain death (BD), cardiac arrest (CA), and status epilepticus (SE) treatment monitoring. In addition, it provides irreplaceable information depending on the time it is performed, as is the case with the diagnosis of epilepsy after a first epileptic seizure (ES) or to differentiate these from non-epileptic paroxysmal events (NEPE). Its usefulness is maintained outside the usual working day, but it is not available in many centers.

Leishmania donovani is an intracellular protozoan parasite that has successfully evolved to manipulate host macrophages. The exact mechanism by which Leishmania spp evades macrophage function is not fully understood. Recently, several studies have shown that pathogens target host-microRNA to alter cellular pathways for their persistence.
