AbstractBackgroundSince the end of the previous century, there has not been a comprehensive review of European studies on socioeconomic inequality in cancer incidence. In view of recent advances in data source linkage and analytical methods, we aimed to update the knowledge base on associations between location-specific cancer incidence and individual or area-level measures of socio-economic status (SES) among European adults.Materials and methodsWe systematically searched three databases (PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) for articles on cancer incidence and SES. Qualitative synthesis was performed on the 91 included English language studies, published between 2000 and 2019 in Europe, which focused on adults, relied on cancer registry data and reported on relative risk (RR) estimates.ResultsAdults with low SES have increased risk of head and neck, oesophagogastric, liver and gallbladder, pancreatic, lung, kidney, bladder, penile and cervical cancers (highest RRs for lung, head and neck, stomach and cervix). Conversely, high SES is linked with increased risk of thyroid, breast, prostate and skin cancers. Central nervous system and haematological cancers are not associated with SES. The positive gap in testicular cancer has narrowed, while colorectal cancer shows a varying pattern in different countries. Negative associations are generally stronger for men compared to women.ConclusionsIn Europe, cancers in almost all common locations are associated with SES and the inequalities can be explained to a varying degree by known life-style related factors, most notably smoking. Independent effects of many individual and area SES measures which capture different aspects of SES can also be observed.

Abstract Objective To investigate the burden for Health Care Workers (HCWs) who suffer from Occupational-Related Adverse Events (ORAEs) while working in contaminated areas in a specialized hospital for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia, to explore related risk factors, and to evaluate the effectiveness of Bundled interventions. In addition, to provide scientific evidence regarding the reduction of risks concerning ORAEs and occupational exposure events. Methods The study was completed on a special team of 138 HCWs assembled for a specialized hospital for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia in Wuhan, dated from February 16th to March 26th, 2020. The incidence of occupational exposure was determined by data reported from the hospital, whilst the prevalence of ORAEs was derived from questionnaire results. The relation coefficients of ORAEs and the variable potential risk factors are analyzed by logistic regression. After the risk factors are identified, targeted organized intervention was implemented and Chi-square tests were performed to compare the incidence of occupational exposure and the prevalence of ORAEs in contaminated areas before and after the interventions. Results Ninety one out of 138 (65.94%) had reported ORAEs with 300 (27.96%) cases of ORAEs being recorded in a total of 1073 entries into contaminated areas. The prevalence of different ORAEs include 205 tenderness (24.73%), 182 headache/dizziness (21.95%), 138 dyspnoea (16.65%), 130 blurred vision (15.68%) and 95 nausea/vomiting (11.46%). Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is significantly associated with ORAEs in contaminated areas (P<0.05). Among non-PPE-related factors, insomnia is associated with the majority of ORAEs in contaminated areas. Significant differences were achieved after organized interventions in the incidence of occupational exposure of HCW (χ2=39.07, P＜0.001) and the prevalence of ORAEs in contaminated areas (χ2=22.95, P＜0.001). Conclusion During the epidemic period of novel severe respiratory infectious disease, the burden of the ORAEs in contaminated areas and the risk of occupational exposure of HCWs are relatively high. In-time, comprehensive and multi-level bundled interventions may help to decrease the risk of both ORAEs and occupational exposure.

Ototoxic Substances at the Workplace: a Brief UpdateOtotoxic chemicals can impair the sense of hearing and balance. Lately, efforts have been intensified to compile evidence-based lists of workplace agents with ototoxic properties. This article gives a rough overview of the latest relevant publications, which confirm that toluene, styrene, and lead should receive particular attention as ototoxic substances at the workplace. Moreover, there is sufficient evidence that occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, mercury, carbon monoxide, and carbon disulfide can affect the ear. Based on the existing information, industrial hygienists should make sure that occupational health professionals and the workforce are made aware of the risks posed by ototoxic substances; support their replacement or new technical measures to reduce exposure; make these substances a part of regular screening, develop tools that can early diagnose chemically induced hearing impairment, and investigate further into the ototoxic properties of these substances. Further research should focus on quantifying the combined effects of ototoxic substances and noise.
