Commercial Driver Safety Risk Factors (CDSRF) Commercial Driver Safety Risk Factors (CDSRF) June 2020 FOREWORD The objective of this study was to examine a wide array of driver and situational factors that impact commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety. The study evaluated the prevalence of these factors as well as their relationship to being involved in a crash or moving violation in a diverse sample of over 21,000 truck drivers. The goal was to identify and prioritize driver individual differences with respect to risk factors. Primarily, these risk factors consisted of personal factors, such as demographic characteristics, medical conditions, personal attitudes, and behavioral history. The study identified risk factors by linking the characteristics of individual drivers with their driving records, especially the occurrence or absence of crashes, during the duration of the study. The prospective study design afforded the opportunity to observe these drivers for up to 3 years using a combined dataset from carrier and national sources. This report documents the methods, data analyses, results, and conclusions involved in successfully conducting this study and evaluating the data.

Abstract The objective of this study was to prospectively examine a wide array of driver personal and situational factors to determine the prevalence of these factors as well as their relationship to being involved in a crash. This study involved the collection of driver medical, demographic, and other personal factors to examine the relationship between these factors with various safety outcomes. Interested drivers completed initial study materials during a driver orientation session with the participating carrier at one of eight different recruitment sites across the United States. Safety outcomes included crash data from the participating carrier and crashes and moving violation convictions from national datasets. Depending on the analysis, exposure included the driver’s tenure at the participating carrier during the study or the amount of time under observation during the study. Data from over 21,000 drivers were collected, and 20,753 of these drivers were included in the analyses. Many of the prevalence rates for several of the medical conditions were similar to or above the U.S. averages. In general, those receiving treatment for a medical condition were no riskier in terms of safety outcomes than drivers without the medial condition and, in several cases, were less risky than those who did not have the medical condition. When there was an increase in risk in one or more of the safety outcomes, it was usually associated with the driver not receiving treatment or the driver not being clinically diagnosed with the medical condition (and thus not receiving treatment). 17.

Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, sendo registradas informações pessoais, antecedentes obstétricos e a DMRA supra e infraumbilical. Os pontos de medida foram 4,5 cm acima e abaixo da cicatriz umbilical, sendo graduada pelo número de dedos entre as bordas mediais dessa musculatura. Para cada dedo, foi estimado 1,5 cm. A DMRA foi considerada presente e relevante quando houvesse um afastamento >2 cm na região supra e/ou infraumbilical. Resultados: Foram analisadas 467 fichas de dados, sendo a prevalência da DMRA supraumbilical >2 cm de 68% e infraumbilical de 32%. A prevalência supraumbilical entre as primíparas e multíparas foi idêntica (68%) e infraumbilical maior nas multíparas (19,8% e 29,2%). As médias da DMRA foram 2,8 (±1,2) cm supraumbilical e 1,5 (±1,1) cm infraumbilical, apresentando diferença significativa (p=0,0001) e fraca correlação (r=0,461). A média da DMRA infraumbilical foi significativamente maior nas multíparas (p<0,018).

  • The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule for Commercial Truck Drivers and the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate
    The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule for Commercial Truck Drivers and the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate March 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46276 SUMMARY R46276 The Hours of Service (HOS) Rule March 18, 2020 for Commercial Truck Drivers and the David Randall Peterman Analyst in Transportation Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate Policy In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, on March 13, 2020, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued a national emergency declaration to exempt from the Hours of Service (HOS) rule through April 12, 2020, commercial drivers providing direct assistance in support of relief efforts related to the virus. This includes transport of certain supplies and equipment, as well as personnel. Drivers are still required to have at least 10 consecutive hours off duty (eight hours if transporting passengers) before returning to duty. It has been estimated that up to 20% of bus and large truck crashes in the United States involve fatigued drivers. In order to promote safety by reducing the incidence of fatigue among commercial drivers, federal law limits the number of hours a driver can drive through the HOS rule. Currently the HOS rule allows truck drivers to work up to 14 hours a day, during which time they can drive up to 11 hours, followed by at least 10 hours off duty before coming on duty again; also, within the first 8 hours on duty drivers must take a 30-minute break in order to continue driving beyond 8 hours. Bus drivers transporting passengers have slightly different limits. Approximately 3 million drivers are subject to the federal HOS rule.

  • Abdominoplasty Sur716.002 ______Coverage
    ABDOMINOPLASTY SUR716.002 ______________________________________________________________________ COVERAGE: Abdominoplasty and/or removal of the overhanging lower abdominal panniculus are considered cosmetic procedures. Abdominoplasty is sometimes described as a wide internal oblique transverse abdominous plication (a wide rectus plication). No coverage is available for these procedures or for repair of a diastasis recti in the absence of a true midline hernia (ventral or umbilical). On rare occasions, abdominoplasty may be considered for coverage with determination of medical necessity for indications such as the following: · in an older individual who has such a significantly large panniculus as to interfere with the ability to walk normally or in a patient with documented pressure sores, rash, or intertriginous maceration that has not responded to all manners of conservative treatment, or · in an individual who has had multiple operations with spreading of the scar associated with diastasis recti and a true incisional hernia defect. NOTE: The presence of back pain alone without one of the preceding indications will not constitute medical necessity for abdominoplasty. ______________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION: Abdominoplasty is a plastic repair of the anterolateral abdominal wall, which is largely muscular and aponeurotic (a white flattened or ribbon-like tendonous expansion serving mainly to connect a muscle with the parts that it moves), with overlying subcutaneous tissue and skin. Abdominal wall pathophysiology concerns weakness or laxity of the abdominal wall musculature. This prevents maximum force generation with contraction and weakens the support of the lumber dorsal fascia with resultant back pain. An excess of ten pounds of adipose tissue in the abdominal wall adds 100 pounds of strain on the discs of the lower back by exaggeration of the normal S curve of the spine.

Stein1 · Slaton Z. Freeman1 · Jasper A. J. Smits1 Published online: 28 January 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract This commentary synthesizes research examining cognitive mechanisms underlying the links between anxiety, health behav- iors, and illness outcomes. We provide a brief summary of contributions to this special issue and review common themes and methodological limitations. Notably, a number of related constructs emerged as amplification factors, increasing vulnerability to psychopathology and maladaptive health behaviors. These include anxiety sensitivity, distress and discomfort intolerance, emotion regulation, health literacy, and repetitive negative thinking. Finally, we discuss clinical implications, and conclude with suggestions for further research in this area.

  • Sleeping Problems in Chinese Illicit Drug Dependent Subjects
    Tang et al. BMC Psychiatry (2015) 15:28 DOI 10.1186/s12888-015-0409-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Sleeping problems in Chinese illicit drug dependent subjects Jinsong Tang1, Yanhui Liao1*, Haoyu He1, Qijian Deng1, Guanbai Zhang1,2, Chang Qi1, Hangtao Cui1,3, Bin Jiao1,4, Mei Yang1,5, Zhijuan Feng1, Xiaogang Chen1, Wei Hao1 and Tieqiao Liu1,6,7* Abstract Background: Illicit drug use/dependence has been recognized as a major problem. Clinical studies demonstrate that poor sleep quality is associated with increased frequency of drug use and relapse. However, few studies have addressed the issue of sleep quality among illicit drug dependent subjects. Methods: This cross-sectional study explored sleep quality in drug dependent subjects in China. We studied 2178 illicit drug dependent subjects from drug rehabilitation centres in Changsha and 2236 non-drug-using subjects, all of whom completed the self-report Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: We found that the prevalence of sleep disturbance was much higher in drug users (68.5%, PSQI >5; specifically, 80.24% in heroin users, 54.16% in methamphetamine users and 81.98% in ketamine users with PSQI >5) than non-users (26.4%, PSQI >5). Drug users had approximately twice the sleep latency than nondrug users (37.7 minutes V.S 18.4 minutes). Although drug users and non-users reported similar sleep duration (about 7.4 hours), drug users showed poorer subjective sleep quality and habitual sleep efficiency. They reported more sleep disturbance and need for sleep medications, more daytime dysfunction and poorer subjective sleep quality compared with nondrug users.

Fortunately, advances in screening, early detection, and diagnosis, together with more effective treatments, are associated with recently-improved survival rates for these women, despite increased incidence (Potter, Collins, Brown, & Hure, 2014; Rock et al., 2012; World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research, 2007). Better survival is clearly a positive outcome for this growing population; however, survival is also associated with negative outcomes, such as an increased risk of secondary primary cancers (Pollard, Eakin, Vardy, & Hawkes, 2009), co-morbidities (Eakin et al., 2007; Eakin et al., 2006; Pollard et al., 2009; Rock, Byers, et al., 2013),

Insomnia not only is a pathway toward alcohol consumption but also is related to increased risk of relapse, psychosocial impairment, decreased quality of life, and suicidal ideation in individuals with AUD. Few studies examining sleep disturbance and alcohol use have explored how this relationship differs between men and women. Historically, studies of AUD have included few, if any, women in their samples. However, women are increasingly consuming alcohol at an earlier age and at higher rates, and the effect of alcohol on women’s mental and physical health is expected to rise. This narrative review consolidates findings from studies that have reported the effects of acute and chronic alcohol use on sleep among women. Additional research is needed to investigate sex differences in this area. Such research should consider the modifying effects of age, lifetime alcohol use, and psychiatric co-occurrence,
