Article Abstract
Objectives: Mental health-related work disability has increased in Europe, despite efforts to promote individuals´ work ability. We examined individuals´ occupational status before and after a psychiatric disability pension (DP).
Methods: The study comprises individuals granted a DP for the first time between 2010 and 2012 in Finland (N = 18,373). We used modern methods to cluster the sequences of individuals´ occupational status before and after temporary (n = 8615) or permanent (n = 9758) psychiatric DP. We compared socioeconomic, illness and health care system-related factors between nine groups, formed by sequence analysis utilizing multinominal regression analysis.
Results: The analysis identified typical groups of temporary pensioners: after steady working careers, periods of unemployment and from mixed states. Severity of health and mental health problems, socioeconomic and occupational status, pension system-related factors as well as treatment or rehabilitation varied between the groups. Individuals with temporary DPs (tDP) appeared mainly to either remain disabled (74% of the study tDP) or return to the same status they had before disability: to work (17%) or unemployment (8%). A steady working career, high education and received psychotherapy and rehabilitation all promoted returning to work. Among young adults, severity of the illness and lack of occupational education were risk factors for long-term disability.
Conclusions: Among those with tDP, circles of disadvantage may exist. They relate to unemployment, poor mental and somatic heath, low education, poverty, and failure of rehabilitative efforts. Especially young adults with severe mental disorders require not only rehabilitation but also educational support.

Key locations of oxidative damage in human hair keratins after heat and ultraviolet light exposure.
Int J Cosmet Sci
September 2025
Smart Foods and Bioproducts, AgResearch, Lincoln, New Zealand.
Objective: This study investigated the locations of amino acid modifications within two major human hair keratins (Type I K31 and Type II K85) with probable implications for protein and hair structural component integrity. The particular focus was on cysteine modifications that disrupt intra-protein and inter-protein disulphide bonds.
Methods: Human hair was exposed to accelerated, sequential heat or UV treatments, simulating effects resulting from the use of heated styling tools and environmental exposure over a time frame approximating one year.
US Poison Center Encounters for Psilocybin-Related Exposures: 2013-2022.
J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Weill Institute for Neurosciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA.
Objectives: Given the increasing use of psilocybin-containing substances across a variety of use settings, understanding the potential risks is imperative for informing public health policy, health care providers, and consumers. Poison centers (PCs) receive calls following exposures to potential toxins to support the detection, prevention, and treatment of toxin-related health emergencies. This report assesses trends in PC encounters of psilocybin and a subset of other comparator substances.

Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes current literature about the disability burden of the fungal neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) sporotrichosis, chromoblastomycosis, eumycetoma, and paracoccidioidomycosis. The review highlights current knowledge gaps in global settings and describes available tools that could be adopted to fill these gaps.
Recent Findings: Sporotrichosis, chromoblastomycosis, and eumycetoma often present initially as skin lesions that can become progressively disfiguring, lead to stigmatization, and cause various sequalae affecting health and function.
Association of social determinants of health and age at menopause: NHANES 1999-2018 observational study.

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Institute of Translational Medicine, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China.
Study Question: Do social determinants of health (SDoH) influence the age at menopause among women?
Summary Answer: In our study, adverse SDoH, particularly family low income-to-poverty ratio (PIR), low education level, and the marital status of being widowed, are associated with earlier age at menopause.
What Is Known Already: Some prior studies have considered certain SDoH variables (such as educational attainment and marital status) as potential factors influencing age at menopause, but systematic evidence clearly defining the relationship between multidimensional SDoH and menopausal age remains lacking.
Study Design Size Duration: This cross-sectional analysis included 6083 naturally menopausal women from 10 cycles (1999-2018) of the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and excluded cases of surgical menopause.

Background: Lymph node silicosis (LNS) may be found when investigating lung and mediastinal diseases. Co-occurrence of LNS and pulmonary silicosis (PS) has been described but no studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of LNS for PS, the aim of this study.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included South African miners with exclusive gold-mining employment who had autopsy examinations from 1975 to 2018.
