  • Occupational Health and Safety

  • Sociology of Work
CONT

While many studies have analysed exposure to the different risk factors affecting the working population, only a very few have focused on workers with an occupational pathology officially recognised by the public health system... All participants in the experimental group had been diagnosed by the public health authorities as having one of the occupational [musculoskeletal diseases] recognised by [the country's] legislation. Furthermore, all participants in the study worked in the same area of activity, i. e. were automotive assembly employees, meaning that their work conditions and exposure to risk factors were fairly similar.

Record 3 2017-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Epidermis and Dermis
CONT

Scleroderma is a chronic autoimmune disease... The term scleroderma means "hard skin", which describes thickening of the skin from increased deposition of collagen. There are two types of scleroderma. Localized scleroderma affects the skin and musculoskeletal system. Systemic sclerosis causes internal organ damage including scarring and blood vessel damage in the skin, lungs, heart, and kidneys.

OBS

[Scleroderma] was formerly known as "skin-bound" or "hide-bound" disease. Both of these terms accurately describe the ultimate effects of thickening of the skin due to swelling and thickening of the underlying connective tissue... The actual cause is unknown, but vascular, endocrine and autoimmune factors have been suspected.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Épiderme et derme
CONT

La sclérodermie est une maladie rare [...] qui affecte essentiellement la peau, mais aussi, dans sa forme généralisée ou systémique, les organes interne (rein, cœur, poumons, etc...) [...] Le terme «sclérodermie» décrit assez bien en lui seul le principal signe ou symptôme de la maladie. Du grec «skleros» : dur et «derma» : peau, sclérodermie signifie donc «durcissement de la peau».
