Abstract
OBJECTIVES The definition of work-related Asthma (WRA) has changed in recent years and new etiologies and agents have been identified. The aim of this study is to describe the main causal agents of WRA in France in the period 2001-2018 in the main work sectors. METHODS Data were collected from the French national network of occupational health surveillance and prevention [Réseau National de Vigilance et de Prévention des Pathologies Professionnelles (RNV3P)], Data between 2001 and 2018 with at least a probable or certain association with one occupational agent, were included. RESULTS Work sectors with more cases OF WRA included personal service activities (10.6%), food industry (10.2%) and healthcare activities (7.6%). WRA cases were most frequently related to flour (10%), quaternary ammoniums compounds (5.3%), isocyanates (5.1%) and cleaning products (4.8%). CONCLUSION Occupational exposure to specific agents capable of causing WRA is still present, and four agents represent more than 25% of the cases. Actions to prevent respiratory exposure are still relevant.

Abstract
During the first months of the Sars-Cov-2 pandemic, French caregivers faced difficult situations, organizational changes, and rapidly changing recommendations. The occupational physicians of the hospital staff had to accompany the caregivers, both to answer their questions, both to better prevent the risks to their health in connection with the pandemic. Recommendations were quickly issued by the Société française de médecine du travail (French Society of Occupational Medicine). In our CHU, an evaluation of exposures was made by department. Occupational physicians advised agents and the institution to limit the risks to the health of agents. However, faced with the uncertainties linked to ignorance of the virus, how can we play both the role of protection of each agent, and that of a doctor registered in a health war? This article revisits from a distance the ethical tensions of the hospital occupational physician and the qualities necessary for the accomplishment of these missions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the framework of a "tobacco-free hospital and campus" campaign, we conducted a study on the prevalence of smoking and vaping among a university hospital (CHRU) staff. The study took place in late 2020 (from 1 September to 15 December), and involved self-assessment of the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on smoking. MATERIAL AND METHOD A cross-sectional study was carried out using an online questionnaire, which was distributed by email and QR code posting and included socio-professional details as well as data on participants' smoking and vaping. RESULTS There were 782 responses, representing a participation rate of 13.5%. The sample included 73.3% women and 22.7% men; 28.9% nurses, 24.9% medical staff, 3.6% nursing assistants and 42.6% other professional categories. The overall smoking rate was 13%. Sixty-two (7.9%) participants vaped; 37 (5%) vaped exclusively, 25 (3.2%) combined smoking and vaping. Men smoked more than women: 23.7% vs. 9.4% (P < 0.01). Medical staff smoked and vaped less than other categories; 6.2% vs 14.8% (P < 0.01) and 4.1% vs 9.1% respectively (P=0.02). Doctors were more often non-smokers: OR=2.71 (95% CI: 1.14-6.46). Among smokers, 25% said they had increased their cigarette consumption during the covid-19 pandemic, frequently as a means of combating stress or fatigue. CONCLUSION This study showed a lower smoking rate than in the literature, possibly due to the high participation of physicians. Ours were the initial estimates of vaping among hospital staff.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the final part of their medical studies, residents are under a large amount of stress and work overload as reported by a literature review between 2004 and 2014 assessing 33.2% of burn out among them. Pregnancy and motherhood lead to major physical and psychological changes. The purpose of this study was to point out the female residents feeling about the consequences of motherhood and pregnancy during residency. METHODS Semi-structured interviews were conducted for this qualitative study. It was based on the Grounded theory and analyzed by a continuous thematization. RESULTS Ten interviews were conducted. Data saturation was obtained by the 8th interview. Diversity of medical specialty was sought. Residents expressed their feeling towards the consequences of pregnancy and motherhood during residency. The data analysis highlighted two major themes related to either work (training, industrial relations and job adaptation), or pregnancy and maternity. CONCLUSION Becoming a mother during residency represents an additional challenge for residents. It implies adjustment from them and their work teams in order to reduce the negative effect on a professional and personal level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Suffering at work among health professionals is a hot topic. Medical students, doctors of tomorrow, are far from being spared. Prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders range from 20.3 to 69 % for the former and from 12 to 30 % for the latter. The purpose of this article is to determine these factors by qualitative research, according to medical students' points of view. METHODS It is a qualitative study using semistructured interviews. The analysis is done according to the Grounded Theory. RESULTS 12 medical students are interviewed. They expressed difficulties at work and positive factors. Three major themes are identified in selective coding: occupational factors, " study " factors and individual factors. All themes are both a source of well-being and ill-being according to the situations specified in the results. CONCLUSION Studying medicine includes positive and negative aspects. Abandonment issues, lack of recognition and insufficient coaching emerge from our study. Screening of suffering at work should be systematic for medical students.

Occupational contact dermatitis from protein in sea products: who is the most affected, the fisherman or the chef? J Occup Med Toxicol 2017; 12:4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein contact dermatitis has frequently been reported in case studies (usually in cases involving contact with seafood products), but there are very few descriptive series. The objectives of this present study were firstly to determine the incidence of protein contact dermatitis among fishermen in France and compare it with data from onshore work involving seafood exposure. Second, to discover what factors could explain any differences. In order to answer these questions we analysed data from the French national occupational disease surveillance and prevention network (RNV3P) and occupational diseases declared to the French National Network for Monitoring and Prevention of Occupational Disease. This retrospective study was done for a 13 year period. CASE PRESENTATION Between 2000 and 2012, we only found eight cases of protein contact dermatitis in the French network. There were no cases of protein contact dermatitis in the seafaring population. The eight cases from the French network are essentially allergies to different fish and chefs are the professionals most affected. Atopy is present in half of these cases. In the seafaring population we found several cases of allergic delayed-time contact dermatitis due to bryozoans and to gloves but no protein contact dermatitis. CONCLUSIONS Chefs who have to cook seafood are more at risk of occupational protein contact dermatitis than fishermen. We think that skin protection (that is to say glove wearing) is better implemented in the fishing sector than in the catering profession on shore in France.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Junior doctors are exposed to multiple occupational risks. The aim of this study was to assess the risk factors and protective factors for mood and anxiety disorders among junior doctors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study via an anonymous online questionnaire between October 2011 and June 2012. All the junior doctors in our faculty were included. The questionnaire inquired about demographic and health data. It contained four validated scales: the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Spielberger anxiety questionnaire, the WHO quality of life (WHO - QOL) questionnaire and the Job Content Questionnaire. Finally, it sought to clarify the conditions of professional practice and the interactions between university programmes and junior doctorate students (change of specialty, pregnancy, leave of absence, etc.). RESULTS 192 juniors doctors participated in the study, 68.2% of whom were women. Out of the group, 13.0% presented a depressive syndrome, while 28.7% presented an anxiety disorder, 32.8% were experiencing Job Strain and 29.7% Iso Strain. The risk factor for anxiety was competition between junior doctors: OR=4.23 (1.06 ‒ 16.82). The protective factors for mood disorders were the help provided by senior physicians and the respect shown by patients: OR=0.21 (0.06-0.74) and 0.20 (0.06-0.75), respectively. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the impact of the relationships with senior physicians and patients on junior doctors' health at work. Consequently, prevention should not be focused uniquely on work organization, but should increase physicians' awareness of the importance of this relationship.

Abstract
AIM Dysbaric osteonecrosis (DON) continues to be a significant occupational hazard that has significant medical and social consequences for professional divers. This review aims to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of DON among professional divers and to summarize the scientific knowledge regarding distribution of the lesions as well as disease prognosis and treatment. METHOD A literature review using the Medline database. RESULTS The prevalence of DON varies between 0 and 70.6% in professional divers, and its prevalence is highest in Turkey, Hawaii, Korea and Japan but is dependent on activity and medical monitoring. The risk of DON is very low for military divers who strictly obey the decompression rules and who undergo periodic medical examination. DON pre- dominately occurs in the proximal part of the femur and humerus. In a majority of cases, DON will progress despite the absence of further dysbaric exposure. CONCLUSION The pathophysiology of the disease is incompletely understood and other etiological factors are perhaps being overlooked.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to organise an assessment of the physical strains and environmental exposure to hydrocarbon derivatives in persons involved in shoreline clean-up of heavy oil products, in order to investigate the dangers of oil spill clean-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-three healthy volunteers wearing protective equipment cleaning up an artificial shoreline underwent cardiac strain measurements, as well as a study of thermal stress (approximate WBGT index, water loss, measurement of internal body temperature before and after physical activity). A subjective assessment of perceived exertion was correlated to articular strain indicators recorded for the weight of loads lifted, movement frequency, and the range of movement. Environmental exposure was determined by using portable hydrocarbon detectors. RESULTS For adult subjects in good physical condition, in neutral temperatures, oil spill clean-up is considered non-arduous. However, in sedentary, stressed subjects exposed to difficult climatic conditions, cleanup can be considered hard to extremely hard. In terms of environmental exposure, slight traces of toluene appeared once out of a total of 18 analysed samples. CONCLUSIONS The sample studied was subject to physical articular strains and presented variable cardiac strain; environmental exposure was, on the other hand, slight when involving cleaning up heavy petroleum products. The subjects liable to carry out this activity are more tolerant to the efforts required when they are healthy, fit, young adults, in the non-arduous thermal conditions recorded in this study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Occupational infectious respiratory diseases are underestimate pathology because of an asymptomatic infection or the general, unspecific symptoms. STATE OF THE ART The most part of patients are among health care and agriculture or forestry workers (15% employee exposure of infectious risks in according with SUMMER study 2003). Biological risks interest two-third of health care workers, one-third of agriculture and food industry employees and one-forth of house-workers. Occupational diseases occur as flu-like illness, pneumonia, lung abscess or pleurisy. A possible classification for this pathology is by clinical manifestations: with respiratory predominance like tuberculosis, pasteurelosis, psittacosis or diseases like anthrax, brucellosis or tularemia with non respiratory predominance. PERSPECTIVES AND CONCLUSION The authors remind the data of occupational respiratory infectious diseases, microbiological data and links between clinical symptoms and patients professions leading to diagnosis.
