    Presenteeism, a detriment to productivity, is theorized to be associated with work engagement. However, this relationship remains unexplored among Indonesian manufacturing workers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between work engagement and presenteeism in heavy equipment manufacturing workers. This cross-sectional study collected data from 109 workers employed at a heavy equipment manufacturing firm in Jakarta, Indonesia. Presenteeism was evaluated through the Quality and Quantity (QQ) method questionnaire, and work engagement was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale 9 (UWES-9) questionnaire. Respondents exhibited high work engagement score (median = 5.55) and low presenteeism score (median = 10), showing a significant negative correlation (r = –0.381) between the two. The high work engagement observed among heavy equipment manufacturing workers in Indonesia correlates with a low occurrence of presenteeism.

    Women’s health issues, including menstruation, childbirth, and menopause, significantly impact work performance and career progression, and pose physical and mental burdens on women. Despite their importance, research on how these events and conditions affect women’s quality of life and health in the workplace is limited. This study explores the relationship between living environment, health status, work factors, and the health and work performance of working women. It focuses on menstruation-associated symptoms (dysmenorrhea, PMS) and menopausal symptoms and their impact on working QOL and health. A cross-sectional study was conducted on the Internet from June 6 to 12, 2024 among working women in Japan aged 20–60. The sample came from a closed survey of panel monitors from a company commissioned to conduct the survey. Screening included gender, age, hours worked, place of residence, and type of work, with participants being women aged 20–60 and working at least 30 hours per week. Of 31,965 participants, 4,245 were excluded for reasons such as short response time, marital status inconsistencies, childcare inconsistencies, undergoing infertility treatment at age 55 or older, and incorrect responses, resulting in 27,720 participants. The survey consisted of 139 questions and was conducted on a relatively homogeneous sample across all strata. Understanding the impact of menstruation-related symptoms on labor productivity and enhancing knowledge of women’s health can lead to a better healthcare system and improved business performance. This study aimed to generate evidence to support these goals.

    A 78-year-old male who was undergoing treatment for diabetes was referred to our department after a chest X-ray revealed an abnormal shadow in the left upper lung field. A chest contrast-enhanced CT showed a tumor in the left upper lobe and a cystic lesion in the left lower lobe. Two aberrant arteries branching from the aorta were identified near the cyst. The patient was diagnosed with lung cancer and anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the left lung (ABLL), necessitating surgical intervention. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed, with the left upper segmentectomy guided by Indocyanine green (ICG) to facilitate precise intersegmental plane identification. The two aberrant arteries were resected, and the perfusion area supplied by these arteries was excised using repeated ICG intravenous injection. This case of lung cancer with ABLL demonstrates that the repeated use of ICG can enable not only a precise upper segmentectomy but also accurate visualization and resection of a perfusion area supplied by aberrant arteries.
