The goal of this proposal is to determine the efficacy of a self-care versus a formal healthcare model of care for patients with workplace musculoskeletal injuries in the primary care setting. Efficacy will be measured by the number of patients whose medical care is optimized and who return to work with a return to work rate of 50% or higher. The hypothesis is that the self-care model will provide cost-effective, medically appropriate, and possibly improved outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal injuries. The specific aims are to assess the effectiveness of the self-care intervention compared to the formal healthcare model and to evaluate the cost effectiveness of the self-care model compared to the formal healthcare model. Specifically, the aims are to: 1) conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the self-care versus formal care of patients with workplace injuries; 2) explore the long-term effectiveness of the self-care model compared to the formal healthcare model; 3) evaluate the cost effectiveness of the self-care model; and 4) conduct a cost-benefit analysis. Both the intervention and the control groups will receive written and verbal information about occupational rehabilitation. Patients in the self-care group will follow up with a self-care plan at home. The primary outcome measures are: (1) percentage of patients returning to work with a return to work rate of 50% or higher at 4 months post-injury; (2) medical care resource use; (3) cost to the patient; and (4) cost to the healthcare system. This study will make a difference in the way musculoskeletal injuries are treated in the primary care setting.On the interaction between melatonin and retinoids in the proliferation of early mouse embryo cells.
The effects of the pineal hormone melatonin on the mitogenic action of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) and 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cRA) on mouse embryo cells were studied. Embryonic stem cells (C1/W-17) were used in their early phase of proliferation. A short exposure to melatonin followed by RA was found to induce stronger mitogenic activity of ac619d1d87
