Does your job really matter? Job-specific cancer incidence among a cohort coal mine workers in Queensland, AustraliaNARA Subscribed
Purpose Globally, coal production exposes millions of workers to coal mine dust. This study aimed to measure overall and site specific cancer incidence among coal mine workers (CMW) who performed different types of work. Methods A retrospective cohort of CMW in Queensland, Australia, was assembled using health assessment records from 1992. CMW were grouped by job type and then into Work Categories and linked to the Australian...
Non-respiratory health risks and mortality associated with fighting bushfires (wildfires): a systematic reviewNARA Subscribed
Background Bushfires (also known as wildland or forest fires) expose emergency responders to occupational hazards under exceptional circumstances. Whilst the health impacts of structural firefighting have been studied, less is known about the non-respiratory health impacts or risk of mortality amongst bush firefighters, who can be volunteers. More information about health risks is needed to generate effective prevention strate...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
