Opis:: Hygiene plays an important role in patients who use removable dentures. The proper way of cleaning and storage also provides better health of oral cavity tissues as well as for the remaining teeth. The research involved 162 patients, 133 women and 29 men, aged 60–90, with different levels of education, the majority with secondary education. All patients were using removable dentures. 85.8% declared earlier use of dentures, and a half of the patients had used dentures for no more than 7.5 years. A considerable percentage (33.95%) used dentures for the whole day. Storing in a container with fluid was used by 25.93% of the respondents. Over 70% used toothpaste to clean their dentures and about 14% immersed them in special preparations, e.g. CoregaTabs, while over 8% used soap. Among patients who cleaned their dentures, the majority cleaned them once a week (75%) and the minority – twice a week (25%). The greatest percentage of patients cleaned their dentures with a toothbrush and toothpaste, which is not recommended due to occurring microabrasions. It is recommended that patients should be educated regarding prosthesis hygiene and regular follow-ups.

Opis:: Celem pracy była ocena efektywności procesów mycia i dezynfekcji powierzchni roboczych w zakładzie przetwórczym mięsa na podstawie wyników testów bioluminescencyjnych, opierających się na pomiarze stężenia ATP. Pobrano próby z powierzchni produkcyjnych oraz wymazy ze ścian po procesie produkcyjnym, po płukaniu oraz po myciu i dezynfekcji. Najwyższą skuteczność mycia i dezynfekcji stwierdzono w przypadku kutrów, na powierzchni których poziom ATP zmniejszył się w zakresie od 95,73 do 98,17%. Równie efektywną eliminację zanieczyszczeń po procesie mycia i dezynfekcji uzyskano dla powierzchni stołów do pakowania wędlin. Po zabiegu dezynfekcji poziom ATP obniżył się od 90,45 do 92,15% w stosunku do ilości po procesie produkcyjnym. Procesy mycia i dezynfekcji skutecznie obniżają ilość zanieczyszczeń na powierzchniach roboczych.
The aim of this thesis was the evaluation of efficiency of wash and disinfection processes of work surfaces in meat processing plant on the basis of bioluminescence test results which were based on measurement of ATP concentration. Samples were taken from the production area and swabs from the walls after the production process, after washing and after washing and disinfection. The highest percentage of washing and disinfection in the case of said cutter, the surface of which reduced the level of ATP in the rangę of 95,73-98,17%. Equally effective elimination of pollution after the washing process of disinfection was obtained for the surface of tables for packaging meats. After the disinfection treatment decreased the level of ATP from 90,45-92,15% relative to the quantity of the production process. Cleaning and disinfection processes effectively reduce the amount of impurities on the working surfaces.

Opis:: Nowością w zakresie licznych metod zapewniających utrzymanie odpowiedniej czystości i higieny przy produkcji i obrocie żywnością stanowi koncepcja wykorzystująca silne własności utleniające kwasu nadmrówkowego HCOOOH. Otrzymuje się go w wyniku reakcji nadtlenku wodoru i kwasu mrówkowego HCOOH. Obok niskich kosztów i wysokiej skuteczności, kwas nadmrówkowy pozostaje kwasem przyjaznym środowisku, ponieważ w krótkim czasie ulega rozkładowi z wydzielaniem wody i dwutlenku węgla. Wśród jego potencjalnych zastosowań w przemyśle spożywczym proponuje się między innymi usuwanie zanieczyszczeń z powierzchni skóry świeżych tuszek drobiowych w trakcie ich immersyjnego wychładzania. W pracy podjęto próbę scharakteryzowania zmian jakościowych prób skóry pobranych z tuszek kurcząt poddanych powierzchniowej dezynfekcji poprzez immersję w wodnym roztworze kwasu nadmrówkowego o stężeniu 110 ppm w czasach 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 30 i 60 minut. Przy pomocy wybranych technik instrumentalnych określono obiektywne parametry barwy skóry poddanej działaniu preparatu chemicznego w systemie CIE L*,a*,b*, a ponadto, wyznaczono i porównano widma pozyskane techniką spektroskopii w bliskiej podczerwieni (NIR). W miarę wydłużania czasu antybakteryjnej obróbki tuszki kwasem nadmrówkowym wzrastała statystycznie istotnie (dla p<=0,05) jasność fotometryczna jej powierzchni L*, przy czym zaobserwowano jednocześnie nieznaczny, nieistotny statystycznie spadek wartości pozostałych parametrów (a*, b* i C*), świadczący o stopniowym spadku udziału barwy czerwonej i żółtej w ogólnym wrażeniu barwnym. Porównanie widm dla prób badanej skóry ujawniało znaczne różnice w całym zakresie długości fal, zarówno w części widzialnej promieniowania (400-780 nm) jak i w bliskiej podczerwieni (780-2500 nm). Przeprowadzona matematyczna analiza dyskryminacyjna dla uzyskanego zbioru widm wykazała, że technika NIR zdolna jest rozróżnić próbki skóry nie poddane obróbce chemicznej od próbek poddawanych działaniu kwasu nadmrówkowego w kolejnych interwałach czasowych. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają zmiany jakościowe wywołane utleniającymi właściwościami zastosowanego preparatu chemicznego. W wyniku analizy podobieństwa widm w bliskiej podczerwieni możliwe jest przyporządkowanie nieznanych próbek do grup próbek o znanym czasie oddziaływania, a tym samym ewentualna identyfikacja faktu użycia zabiegu chemicznej obróbki tuszek drobiowych. Oba wątki wymagają jednak kontynuacji badań z użyciem większej ilości prób skóry tuszek drobiowych po obróbce chemicznej badaną metodą.
The concept to use strong oxidizing properties of performic acid HCOOOH (PFA) is a new method among those which ensure a proper maintenance of cleanliness and hygiene in the production and handling of food. This study attempts to characterize the qualitative changes of the skin samples taken from chicken carcasses treated with surface disinfection by immersion in water solution of PFA at concentration of 110 ppm during time range between 1 and 60 minutes. The qualitative changes of skin color, in particularly improvement of skin brightness L* caused by the implemented chemical preparation were observed. The analysis of similarity in the near-infrared (NIR) spectra allows to assign the unknown samples to the groups of samples with known a time of exposure, and thereby makes it possible to recognize that the poultry carcasses were under the chemical treatment.

Opis:: Introduction: Teachers constitute an occupational group where voice disorders associated with vocation are most often observed. Incorrect voice production and neglect of voice hygiene are mentioned among the causes of those disorders. Aim: Assessment of compliance with voice hygiene and voice production among teachers and determination of differences between preschool and primary school teachers; identifying relationships between provided answers and age, years of service and weekly work hours as well as determining which principles of voice hygiene and production are complied with the most and which are least followed. Material and methods: Study included 90 preschool and primary school teachers, 68 women and 22 men with mean age of 39.5 ± 10.9 (range: 23–59 years). In the study we used a questionnaire created specifically for this purpose and a survey, where respondents reported their age, workplace, years of service and number of hours when they used their voice. Results: Teachers provided answers consistent with the principles of voice hygiene and voice production in about half of questions on average. There was a relationship between workplace, age and the degree of compliance with the rules of voice hygiene and production. To the smallest extent teachers followed the rules related to physical activity, water consumption as well as voice production during infection and in noise. Conclusions: Studies corroborated the need for training teachers regarding voice hygiene and production.

Opis:: Introduction. An increasing problem in maintaining the proper level of hygiene in food industry plants is microbiological hazards, affecting the quality and safety of produced food, which in consequence may lead to the creation of many negative health effects on consumers. Aim. Determination of the degree of microbiological contamination of machinery and equipment as well as small production equipment before the commencement of production activities and rating of the effectiveness of the implemented procedures of cleaning and disinfection in a mass catering establishment. Material and methods. The research material was the surfaces of machinery and equipment as well as small production equipment used in a mass catering establishment located in the Primary School in Przemyśl. Microbiological tests were carried out using the swab method in accordance with the recommendations of the Polish Standard PN-A-82055-19: 2000. Results. The hygienic condition of the marked surfaces largely differed from the specific hygiene standards described in PN-A82055-19: 2000. In most cases the degree of microbial contamination was insufficient. It is recommended to follow strictly defined washing and disinfection procedures every time after finishing work and if necessary before proceeding with production. Conclusion. The obtained results showed that there was secondary microbiological contamination of the determined production areas subjected to cleaning and disinfection. It was found that the procedures of cleaning and disinfection of small production equipment, including parts of machines and devices, were properly developed, while there are discrepancies in their implementation.

Opis:: Aim/purpose – This study attempts to examine the correlates of environmental hygiene and the influence of environmental hygiene on child health outcomes in Cameroon while controlling for other variables. Design/methodology/approach – The study made the use of Heckman/Control function Model through the 2011 Demographic and Health Survey with a sample size of 11.732 households. Findings – Result shows that environmental hygienic strongly corroborates with child health outcomes, meaning that improve latrines is associated with increase in child health in Cameroon. Result of determinants shows that education, father’s age, father present in the house and urban residence are strongly correlating with environmental hygiene. Research implications/limitations – Highlights the need for decision-makers to be more intentional with allocating economic resources towards sanitation projects. Originality/value/contribution – Empirically, this study attempted to quantify the link between environmental hygiene and child health outcomes using the Cameroon DHS while solving for endogeneity, heterogeneity, simultaneity, and selectivity bias.

This non- academic debate, led by average language speakers, is being analysed through the category of verbal hygiene, which refers to popular, egalitarian and everyday speech. The strategies used by feminists reveal their attempts to transform the style of communication in Poland. They promote discourse of equality, a form of social interaction that uses both argumentation (in a rhetorical sense) and communication practices (in a normative sense) to favour feminist notions.

Opis:: Background The objective of the study has been to evaluate the pathogenic bacteria contamination of touch surfaces in hospital wards. Material and Methods Samples were taken from frequently touched surfaces in the hospital environment in 13 units of various types. Culturing was carried out on solid blood agar and in growth broth (tryptic soy broth – TSB). Species identification was performed using the analytical profile index (API) biochemical testing and confirmed with matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) system. Results The total of 161 samples were taken for the study. Fifty-two of them, after 24 h of culture on a solid medium, demonstrated bacterial growth and further 60 samples had growth after prior multiplication in TSB. Overall, 69.6% of samples exhibited growth of 19 bacterial species. Pathogenic species – representing indicator organisms of efficiency of hospital cleaning – was demonstrated by 21.4% of samples. Among them Acinetobacter spp., Enterocococci spp. and Staphylococcus aureus were identified. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were predominant. The proportion of various groups of bacteria significantly varied in respective hospitals, and in various types of wards. Disturbing observation is a large proportion of resistance of isolated CNS strains as a potential reservoir of resistance genes. Conclusions The results show that touch surfaces in hospital units are contaminated by both potentially pathogenic and pathogenic bacterial species. In connection with the reported, also in Poland, frequent omission or incorrect execution of hand hygiene by hospital staff, and probably patients, touch surfaces still constitute important reservoir of pathogenic bacteria. Improving hand hygiene compliance of health-care workers with recommendations is necessary for increasing biological safety of hospital environment. Med Pr 2017;68(3):459–467

Opis:: The topic of the history of everyday life in Prussia is something new in the Polish historical writing. This field of studies is also connected with the history of housing and health related matters. There was a constant progress in the changes of housing conditions in Prussia in the 19th century; nevertheless it covered different social groups in uneven degree. The population grew faster than the number of flats, therefore their prices rose as well. As regards the prices of flats, they were inadequate to earnings, thus house-building was unprofitable. Bourgeois apartment became the most important form of dwelling because it determined contemporary universal mandatory and beyond classes model of housing. In contrast, peasant houses for quite a while fell behind in terms of standards and equipment. Gradually, over time formerly extremely expensive furniture began to be produced on a mass scale n more mass manner; consequently the middle class could afford them. Moreover, the living space was became more defined with the presence of living room, office, library, boudoirs, bedroom and children’s room became more common. Along with specification of the living space the language changed as well. Formerly, the general term chamber (Stube) was replaced by more precise term room (Zimmer); for instance a nursery room, an office, a bedroom or a living room. The introduction of corridors provided the previously absent privacy. Former common space was finally individualised. The individualisation of formerly common space succeeded. An average craftsman’s home equipment was limited to a bed, a table, a chest of drawers and a closet or chest which was a substitute for a closet. Usually, however, the master of craftsman century had his own house in the first half of 19th, while the rest of society rented flats in tenement houses. The labourers’ flats were overcrowded due to the fact that not only the rooms within them were subleased for profit but also the presence of a brother, a sister or grandparents was nothing out of the ordinary. Additionally, the large number of children within those households were expected to work, to support the family. They were treated as a cheap labour, for example in the textile industry. On the contrary, townspeople treated children as an investment, not the source of income. Housing problem (Wohnungsfrage) was the part of a social problem (Sozialfrage), and for the those days public opinion it was the cause of moral and spiritual crises of lower classes. The housing situation of the lower classes remained bad throughout the 19th century. The conservative, Gustaw Schmoller, exhorted more well-offs to wake up and realise the size of the threat of social revolution caused by bringing the lower classes to barbarians and wild animals in terms of living conditions. His solution, which was yet to come, aimed at counteraction to threat of communism. Houses for labourers built by entrepreneurs, for example in the Saarland, Upper Silesia or the Ruhr region were the new form of solving the housing problem since the mid-20th century. Those houses were supposed to link workers with their workplace and weaken their inclination for the political revolt. Loss of a job meant that the very same day a worker was supposed to leave his place of living. It is worth to mention, that those flats had much higher standards than previously described flats rented in tenement houses. The hygiene of a family in the 19th century was much lower than nowadays. The term hygiene itself appeared at the beginning of this century in German language only. Accordingly, in this respect, throughout the 19th century significant changes appeared. Accordingly, in this respect the 19th century witnessed many changes.

Opis:: Objectives: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) state that adequate hand hygiene maintained by medical personnel is an indispensable prerequisite for controlling nosocomial infections. The recommendations of CDC and WHO emphasize the obligation to wash hands after each contact with a patient, after the exposure to a potentially infectious material or upon the contact with objects surrounding the patient. Materials and Methods: The study was performed by quasi-observation among the group of 188 medical staff members (nurses and physicians) working in three selected hospitals of the Łódź Province. The procedure of hand washing/disinfection performed directly after the patient contact according to the recommendations of CDC and WHO was observed. The results were subject to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Results: During 1544 h of observations, 4101 activities requiring hand washing were recorded. The medical personnel followed the hand hygiene procedures after the patient contact in 26.4% of the situations that require hygiene according to the guidelines. The level of observance of the hand washing procedures depended significantly on the type of performed activity, profession, degree of workload, index of activity, and time of duty hours. The mean time of hand washing after patient contact was 9.2 s for physicians and 6.7 s for nurses. Conclusion: Both the level of observance of hygienic procedures after the contact with patients as well as the time of hand washing are insufficient. There is an urgent need to work out educational programs on maintaining proper hand hygiene for medical personnel.

Opis:: Introduction: To minimize the risk of cross-infection between the patient and the medical staff, it is necessary to use individual protective measures such as gloves. According to the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), protective gloves should always be used upon contact with blood, mucosa, injured skin or other potentially infectious material. Materials and Methods: The aim of the study was to evaluate, through quasi-observation, the use of protective gloves by medical staff according to the guidelines issued by the CDC and WHO. The results were subject to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Results: During 1544 hours of observations, 3498 situations were recorded in which wearing protective gloves is demanded from the medical staff. The overall percentage of the observance of using gloves was 50%. The use of gloves depended significantly on the type of ward, profession, performed activity, number of situations that require wearing gloves during the observation unit and the real workload. During the entire study, as many as 718 contacts with patients were observed in which the same gloves were used several times. Conclusion: Wearing disposable protective gloves by the medical staff is insufficient.

Used material, construction solutions and quality of the applied devices also have an effect on hygienic status. Objective. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the design and construction material of selected food storage racks, available on the Polish market, on their hygienic status. Material and methods. The study was based on determination of the capability of microbial growth on the surface of the racks and the effectiveness of their cleaning. Microbiological cleanliness on the surface of the racks was monitored by the contact plates which are able to estimate the total number of microorganisms. Examination of effectiveness of cleaning was conducted by the use of ATP bioluminescence method. Results. This experiment has proven a significant influence of adopted construction solutions on the hygienic status of the examined racks. Presence of antibacterial layer and a choice of the appropriate construction material characterized by a low surface roughness impedes the microbial growth and increases the effectiveness of cleaning. Conclusions. Design solutions have significant impact on the hygienic status of shelves. Selection of a suitable material for the construction of racks can greatly reduce the possibility of the development of microorganism, despite the low efficiency of the cleaning. The application of antimicrobial coatings inhibits microbial growth.
Wprowadzenie. Dostarczanie konsumentowi produktów spożywczych o jak najwyższej jakości, w tym bezpiecznych, uzależnione jest od wykorzystanych surowców, zastosowanej technologii oraz zachowania warunków higienicznych w całym procesie wytwórczym. Stopień zanieczyszczenia mikrobiologicznego powierzchni jest ważnym wskaźnikiem czystości urządzeń oraz prawidłowości procesów mycia i dezynfekcji. Wpływ na higienę urządzeń mają takie czynniki jak zastosowany materiał oraz rozwiązania konstrukcyjne, a także jakość wykonania urządzenia. Cel. Celem pracy była ocena wpływu konstrukcji i użytego materiału na jakość higieniczną wybranych regałów magazynowych, dostępnych na polskim rynku. Materiał i metody. W badaniu sprawdzono zdolność wzrostu drobnoustrojów (ogólna liczba drobnoustrojów) na powierzchniach wybranych regałów. Czystość mikrobiologiczną na powierzchni regałów monitorowano za pomocą płytek kontaktowych do oznaczania ogólnej liczby drobnoustrojów. Oznaczenia wykonano zgodnie z normą PN-ISO 18593 Badanie skuteczności procesu mycia przeprowadzono z wykorzystaniem metody bioluminescencyjnego pomiaru ATP. Wyniki. Doświadczenie wykazało znaczący wpływ zastosowanych rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych na higienę ocenianych regałów. Badania wykazały istotny wpływ rodzaju regału na poziom zanieczyszczenia mikrobiologicznego odnotowanego na powierzchni roboczej regałów oraz na powierzchni połączeń półek ze słupkami nośnymi. Analiza statystyczna wykazała, że w przypadku każdej z prób rodzaj regału miał wpływ na osiągnięte wyniki. Wnioski. Rozwiązania projektowe mają istotny wpływ na higieniczną jakość półek. Dobór odpowiedniego materiału do budowy regałów może znacznie ograniczyć możliwość rozwoju mikroorganizmów, pomimo niskiej efektywności czyszczenia. Zastosowanie powłok antybakteryjnych hamuje wzrost drobnoustrojów.

Opis:: Introduction and objective. The aim of the study was investigation of the effect of simple prophylactic methods on the motivation for concern about oral hygiene among 13–15-year-olds. Materials and method. The study covered 98 children from 4 groups attending junior high school. Adolescents from 3 groups were randomly qualified for conducting prophylactic procedures, while the fourth group constituted the control group. Three examinations were performed: preliminary and check-up examinations after 4 and 12 months. The state of the teeth and periodontium and the frequency of brushing of teeth were evaluated. Results. After 4 months, an increase in the number of decayed teeth was observed in all groups; in the control group it was significantly higher compared to the groups subjected to prophylactic actions. After 4 months in the groups covered by prophylactic actions, a significant decrease was obtained in the number of adolescents with CPITN > 0. In the examinations performed after 12 months, no significant differences were found in the value of the DMF and the CPITN index in the examined groups. In both examinations, after 4 and 12 months, the declared frequency of brushing teeth increased, especially in the group which had been provided individual instructions concerning oral hygiene. Conclusions. 1) Implementation of prophylactic methods resulted in an improvement in the state of oral health among junior high school adolescents. 2) Prophylactic actions should be regularly repeated. 3) The provision of individual instruction with supervised individual teaching of brushing teeth resulted in an improvement in the motivation for concern about oral hygiene.

Opis:: Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie poglądów dra Józefa Starkmana (1847–1892) na temat opieki medycznej nad dziećmi i młodzieżą w warunkach domowych. Bohater artykułu podkreślał, jak ważna jest dbałość o przestrzeganie higieny w pomieszczeniach, w których przebywały osoby chore, w tym dzieci i młodzież. Starkman wskazywał na rolę ruchu, higieny umysłowej, rozwoju fizycznego, odpowiedniego odzienia i racjonalnego odżywiania. Jego zdaniem nawyki z dzieciństwa miały się później przekładać na życie dorosłe. Według niego przyczyn wielu zaburzeń zdrowotnych wśród najmłodszych należało szukać w niewłaściwej diecie, zaniedbaniach higienicznych i złych warunkach sanitarnych. Zwracał uwagę na braki fizyczne i duchowe podczas pobytu dzieci i młodzieży zarówno w domu, jak i szkole.
This article aims to present the views of Dr. Józef Starkman regarding the home treatment of sick children and young persons. The main point of the article underlines the importance of maintaining good hygiene in the rooms where sick people, including the children and the young spent their time. Starkman highlighted the roles of physical activity, mental hygiene, physical development, proper clothing and balanced, healthy eating. In his opinion, childhood habits tended to impact on adulthood. According to Starkman, the reasons for numerous health problems and disorders should have been defined on the basis of imbalanced diet, neglecting hygiene and poor sanitary conditions. He also emphasised deficiencies in physical activity and spiritual development as regards the children’s and youth’s time spent both at home and at school.

Opis:: Artykuł dotyczy higienizacji i medykalizacji postaw wobec młodzieży w Królestwie Polskim na początku XX w. w piśmiennictwie o charakterze naukowym i popularyzatorskim Warszawskiego Towarzystwa Higienicznego. Lekarze i higieniści, zaangażowani społecznikowsko, pisali o zdrowiu, higienie i wychowaniu młodego pokolenia, także z uwzględnieniem kryteriów eugenicznych. Zmedykalizowana postawa wobec młodzieży była przejawem dążenia do jej kontroli i dyscyplinowania.
The article concerns the hygienization and medicalization of attitudes towards young people in the Kingdom of Poland at the beginning of the 20th century in the abundant literature (both scholarly and popularizing) of the Warsaw Hygiene Society. The socially active doctors and hygienists wrote about the health, hygiene and education of young people, employing eugenic criteria. The medicalized attitude towards young people was a manifestation of attempts to control and discipline them.

Opis:: Introduction: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations, medical staff are obliged to decontaminate the skin of the hands before every single patient contact. Materials and Methods: The study was performed by quasi-observation among the group of 188 medical staff (nurses and physicians) working in three selected hospitals of the Łódź province. The procedure of hand washing and disinfection performed directly before the patient contact according to the CDC and WHO recommendations were observed. The results was subject to statistical analysis (p < 0.05). Results: During 1544 hours of observation 4101 activities requiring hand washing were recorded. The medical staff obeyed the hand washing procedure before the patient contact only in 5.2% of the situations. There was no activity observed before which hand hygiene was maintained in 100% of cases. Observance of hand hygiene depended signifi cantly on the type of the performed activity, the professional group, and the workload index. A decrease in percentage observance of hand hygiene according to the time of the day was found to be of statistical signifi cance. The mean time of hand washing was 8.5 s for physicians and 6.6 s for nurses. Conclusion: The level of observance of hand washing procedures among the medical staff prior to the patient contact appears to be alarmingly below the expectations.

Opis:: Background. Poor oral health among children is common finding in the rural regions of India. But if the existent structure of primary health care is used, favourable oral health habits and importance of oral health can be instilled in the children and their parents at a very early stage. Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of Anganwadi workers (AWWs) in improving the oral hygiene of the preschool children through oral health education. Material and methods. 250 children in the age group of 2.5-6 years, were included in the study. The study was conducted in three phases over a period of 8 months which included a follow up of six months. Baseline oral health was determined using a questionnaire assessing the oral hygiene practices and DMFT Index, Plaque Index and Gingival Index. This was re-assessed after 6 months using the same questionnaire and indices. Statistical significance was fixed at p value Ł 0.05. Chi square and paired ‘t’ test were used to assess the difference in the variables after providing oral health education. Results. Out of 250 children, with mean age of 4.24 years, majority were girls (142, 56.8%). The use of fluoridated toothpaste among the study population significantly increased from 34.4% to 41.5% (p=0.001) with the intervention of oral health education (OHE). Decrease in consumption of sticky sugar, addition of sugar in the night-feeds and cleaning of teeth after night-feeds were also found to change significantly. Gingival index showed significant reduction after OHE (p=0.001). Conclusion. The study revealed that training of Anganwadi workers (AWWs) could be used to improve the oral health of the Anganwadi children. They represent an untapped source for delivering oral care to rural communities that otherwise have limited access.

Opis:: W artykule podjęto próbę określenia roli środowiska szpitalnego w szerzeniu się zakażeń Clostridioides/Clostridium (C.) difficile na podstawie przeglądu wyników badań opublikowanych w literaturze medycznej i własnych doświadczeń. Clostridium difficile ostatnio przyciąga coraz więcej uwagi, nie tylko jako czynnik etiologiczny rzekomobłoniastego zapalenia jelit i biegunek poantybiotykowych, ale także – ze względu na zdolność przetrwania w środowisku szpitalnym przez długi czas – jako przyczyna zakażeń związanych z opieką zdrowotną. Jest to spowodowane wytwarzaniem przez C. difficile przetrwalników – spor, których możliwości zwalczania są dość ograniczone. Spory C. difficile obecne są nie tylko na pościeli i innych przedmiotach należących do zakażonych pacjentów. Bytują także na sprzęcie medycznym i dłoniach personelu, które stanowią źródło zakażenia zarówno dla innych pacjentów, jak i dla części personelu. Wprowadzenie odpowiednich procedur higieny/mycia rąk oraz sprzątania i dezynfekcji powierzchni szpitalnych umożliwia zmniejszenie liczby spor i/lub ich eradykację. Procedur tych należy skrupulatnie przestrzegać w celu ograniczenia występowania spor w środowisku szpitalnym i zapobiegania dalszemu szerzeniu się zakażeń C. difficile (Clostridium difficile infection – CDI). Monitorowanie obecności spor C. difficile w środowisku szpitalnym z zastosowaniem odpowiednich podłóż (C diff Banana BrothTM) daje dodatkowe możliwości wyhodowania szczepów C. difficile i określenia rybotypów, zwłaszcza hiperepidemicznych, co jest niezmiernie ważne z punktu widzenia epidemiologicznego. Med. Pr. 2019;70(6):739–745
This paper attempts to determine the role of the hospital environment in the spread of Clostridioides/Clostridium (C.) difficile infections based on a review of studies published in the medical literature and in the light of the authors’ own experiences. Clostridioides/Clostridium difficile has recently attracted more and more attention, not only as an etiological factor of pseudomembranous intestinal inflammation and antibiotic associated diarrhea, but also as an etiologic factor of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) because of the possibility to survive in the hospital environment for a long time. This is caused by the production of spores, whose eradication options are limited. Clostridioides/Clostridium difficile spores are present not only on bedding of infected patients and their other belongings, but also on medical equipment and the hands of medical personnel, constituting a potential source of infection for other patients and some of the staff. The introduction of appropriate procedures for hand hygiene as well as for cleaning and disinfection of hospital surfaces makes it possible to reduce the number of spores and/or eradicate them. These procedures must be strictly followed to reduce the occurrence of spores in the hospital environment and to prevent further spread of C. difficile infections (CDI). Monitoring the presence of the C. difficile spores in a hospital environment using appropriate media (C diff Banana BrothTM) provides additional opportunities for culturing of C. difficile strains and determining ribotypes, especially hyperepidemic ones, which is extremely important from an epidemiological point of view.

Opis:: Objectives 1,5-Naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI) is used in the plastic industry as a curing agent. 1,5-Naphthalene diisocyanate is classified as a sensitizing agent. The objective of this study has been to develop biomonitoring methods for the evaluation of exposure to NDI. Material and Methods We obtained blood and urine samples from a group of 20 male workers exposed to NDI. The workers answered a questionnaire about their exposure history, job description, the number of years with the company and the time spent working with NDI over the 10 days of the study. Total plasma, albumin, and urine were analyzed for the presence of 1,5-naphthalenediamine (NDA) after acid hydrolysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results 1,5-Naphthalenediamine was found in about 60% of the samples obtained from the workers. 1,5-Naphthalenediamine was obtained after acid hydrolysis of plasma, albumin, and urine at levels up to 1.5 pmol NDA/mg of plasma proteins, 1.15 pmol NDA/mg of albumin, and 55.3 pmol NDA/ml of urine, respectively. Conclusions 1,5-Naphthalenediamine found in urine correlates best with the plasma levels (r = 0.91, p < 0.01). The albumin-adduct levels did not correlate with the NDI-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) or total IgE present in the workers. The adduct and metabolite levels correlate with the air levels of NDI.

Opis:: BackgroundHand hygiene (HH) is the simplest and the most fundamental means of hospital-acquired infection (HAI) prevention in both hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) which differ as to their structure, organization and epidemiology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, compliance with the HH guidelines by medical staff of LTCFs and hospitals, in the context of infection control organization.Material and MethodsThe study was carried out among medical staff of LTCFs and hospitals using an anonymous questionnaire designed by the authors. The questionnaire was composed of 22 questions.ResultsAmong 237 healthcare workers from LTCFs and hospitals (51.5% vs. 48.5%), the vast majority were women (97.5% vs. 94.8%), who were nurses (86.9% vs. 91.3%) with 21–30 years of experience (28.5% vs. 44.3%). The respondents, both working in hospitals and in LTCFs, declared that there was some surveillance of HAIs in their workplace – 78.8% vs. 87.8%, respectively, p = 0.082. However, the respondents from LTCFs significantly more often than those working in hospitals declared the lack of HAI registration (12.3% vs. 0.9%, p = 0.002), as well as the lack of surveillance of multidrug-resistant microorganisms (16.4% vs. 4.3%, p = 0.010). Although the knowledge of WHO HH guidelines was declared by over 90% of the respondents, only about 70% of them (with no significant difference between both types of facilities) properly indicated the 5 moments of HH.ConclusionsThe results of the study indicate that the organizational conditions and practice of HH in LTCFs and hospitals present some differences. Therefore, there is a need for observational studies concerning HH in the context of the structure and organization of infection control, as they are necessary for the development and implementation of effective programs to improve the situation in this field.
