Influence of preventive measures in a children’s polyclinic on the health status of preschool children

Prevention aims to create optimal conditions for the formation of children’s health, ensuring the protection of the child’s body from diseases. The goal is to identify priority problems in preventive work with preschool children in outpatient and polyclinic conditions. Materials and methods. Authors studied information from medical documents of 3-6 year children from the children’s polyclinics in Moscow, questionnaires of parents of children observed during 2017-2020. Preventive examinations cover 97.0% of children; a third of children have a chronic pathology. 68.1% of children passed dispensary examinations. 82.1% of children got vaccinated by age. The «Mother’s School» improves the medical literacy of parents. Conclusions. It is necessary to select a specific time for specialists during preventive examinations to intensify healthy lifestyle promotion among parents.

Primary prevention of cerebrovascular diseases

Introduction: Prevention represent the turning point in medicine, and if we have knowledge about it for long time, it isn't completely applicable, because of the fact that man kind aren't completely developed consciousness about influence of preventive measures on their health. We must learn people about preventive measures to live healthy, to feed themselves healthy, to haven't bad habits which disturb health, to avoid stress situations... The Aim of research: Establish in which extent are people on the area of general practice institution of town Sabac introduced about risk factors which leads to cerebrovascular diseases and what to do to avoid development of risk factors. Materials and methods: Research conducted in General practice institution of town Sabac in December 2011 on sample of 30 examinee. Persons are accidently selected. The data were obtained descriptive method and method of survey. The instrument used in this research is questionnaire. Results: Based on the research it provided information that examinee are mainly under the stress, that they suffer from hypertension, they have obesity, not properly take food, physically not active... but most of them normally goes to their medical examination and have wish to find out more about prevention of cerebrovascular diseases. Discussion: Nurses must trough their work seized more their users of their services and motivate them to have normally medical examination and take care of their health condition, to eliminate risk factors and cure diseases that they have already. Conclusion: Cerebrovascular diseases have huge social-medical importance. Excepting that cerebrovascular diseases are diseases with large-scale of death rate, equally is important fact that this neurological illness with large-scale disability and dramatically disorder life in family and patients surounding, and present material weight for social community. These facts highlights importance of prevention of cerebrovascular diseases.

Post-marketing surveillance of the safety profile of iodixanol in the outpatient CT setting: a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patient risk factors, adverse reactions and preventive measures in 9953 patients.

Non-interventional study in outpatient, contrast-enhanced CT; 1. to determine the extent of preventive measures for risk reduction of adverse drug reactions after contrast-enhanced CT examinations. 2. to prospectively determine the incidence and severity of adverse drug reactions occurring after administration of the iso-osmolar contrast medium iodixanol. 3. to determine a possible influence of preventive measures on the incidence/severity of adverse drug reactions.. Evaluable documentation was provided for 9953 patients from 66 radiology centers across Germany. Patient characteristics, aspects of iodixanol administration, and adverse events with an at least "possible" relationship were documented on a standardized case report form (CRF) and were evaluated up to seven days after contrast medium administration. About 55.5 % of patients showed one or more risk factors (e. g. impaired renal function 4.4 %, diabetes mellitus 8.5 %, hypertension 20.6 %). One third of the sites did not implement any preventive measures. Patients with a known risk for an allergy-like reaction were more likely to receive pharmacologic preventive treatment (0.5 - 50.5 %). Oral hydration was the main preventive measure in patients with renal risk factors (< 8 %) followed by intravenous hydration (1 %). Adverse drug reactions, mainly hypersensitivity reactions, occurred in 77 patients (0.74 %), but were classified as serious in only 3 patients (0.03 %). No statistically significant correlation between risk factors, preventive measures, and adverse reactions could be found. The use of preventive measures for CT examinations in this outpatient setting was generally low with risk patients being pre-medicated more often, depending on their history. In the routine outpatient setting, iso-osmolar iodixanol was very well tolerated in almost 10,000 patients undergoing diagnostic CT. The rate of acute and delayed adverse reactions was low. No correlation could be found between risk factors, preventive measures and the incidence of adverse drug reactions. • Rare use of preventive measures for outpatient CT examinations.• Low rate of acute and late adverse drug reactions to iodixanol.• No correlation between risk factors, preventive measures and adverse drug reactions.

Occupational contact allergy in the building trade in Germany: influence of preventive measures and changing exposure

Since 1993, assiduous efforts have been made in Germany to lower the incidence of allergic cement dermatitis by reducing the content of hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Usage of epoxy resin systems has considerably increased in the building trade in the same period. We analysed data of the Information Network of Departments of Dermatology (IVDK) to evaluate the influence of these changing occupational exposures on frequencies of sensitization. IVDK data of 1,153 men working in the building trade (bricklayers, tile setters etc.) presenting with occupational skin disease in the years 1994-2008 were analysed, taking into consideration not only the year of patch testing, but also beginning and duration of work in the building trade. While contact sensitization to chromate decreased from 43.1 to 29.0%, sensitization to epoxy resin increased from 8.4 to 12.4%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared to those who had already worked before 1994, patients having started to work in building trade after 1999 had a significantly decreased risk of chromate sensitization (odds ratio 0.42) and a significantly increased risk of sensitization to epoxy resin (odds ratio 2.79). Additionally, risk of thiuram sensitization increased with the duration of employment. Our data confirm that reducing Cr VI content of cement is useful in preventing allergic cement eczema, as previously found in Scandinavia. In contrast, the increasing prevalence of contact sensitization to epoxy resin components in the building trade is alarming. Preventive measures, which have already been implemented, have to be enforced.

Work Activity in Pregnancy, Preventive Measures, and the Risk of Preterm Delivery

The objective of this case-control study was to evaluate whether occupational conditions during pregnancy are associated with preterm delivery (PTD). Women whose work conditions changed following the use of a legally justified preventive measure (withdrawal from work or job reassignment) were also compared with those whose work conditions did not change. Cases (n = 1,242) and controls (n = 4,513) were selected from 43,898 women who had single livebirths between January 1997 and March 1999 in Québec, Canada. They were interviewed by telephone after delivery. Results showed association of PTD with demanding posture for at least 3 hours per day, whole-body vibrations, high job strain combined with low or moderate social support, and a cumulative index composed of nine occupational conditions. The adjusted odds ratio increased from 1.0 to 2.0 for PTD (ptrend < 0.0001) and from 1.0 to 2.7 for very PTD (<34 weeks; ptrend = 0.0015) as the number of conditions increased from zero to four or more. The associations for PTD and very PTD with most of the above-mentioned work conditions were weaker when exposures were eliminated following recourse to a legally justified preventive measure. This study provides relevant information on the possible influence of preventive measures on the risk of PTD in pregnant workers.

Epidemiology of cancer of the oral cavity and oropharynx.

At the present time, there are at least three programs in Europe aiming to reduce cancer mortality: the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Community (EC), and the Nordic Cancer Union are trying to reduce cancer mortality by 15% either in patients below 65 years or in all age groups. This aim may be achieved by different means: primary (prevention), secondary (early diagnosis), and tertiary (improved treatment). Among these primary prevention is often considered to have top priority, which anticipates that risk factors can be eliminated. For this purpose, cancer registration is the basis for national programs of cancer control. It gives information about the influence of preventive measures and cure rates.KeywordsHuman Papilloma VirusOral CavityTobacco ConsumptionBuccal CavityAryl Hydrocarbon HydroxylaseThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Change in HIV‐antibody seroprevalence rates in i.v. drug dependent prisoners

In 1985 a high HIV-seroprevalence (44.2%) was found in a cohort of parenteral drug addicted prisoners in Innsbruck, Austria. In a longitudinal study from March 1985 to March 1989 we investigated the epidemiology of HIV-infection as well as possible changes in the drug taking behaviour of this defined population at risk. During the study HIV-seroprevalence rates in drug dependent prisoners showed a statistical decrease to 30%. A concomitant increase in admission to any kind of therapy programmes as well as an increasing change from 'heavy use' (mainly taking heroin i.v.) to 'non-heavy use' (mainly taking drugs orally) could be noted. The influence of preventive measures, such as comprehensive AIDS-information, special therapy programmes including the methadone substitution programme, and the unrestricted availability of needles and syringes is discussed.

Better restorative dentistry in the eighties.

Abstract— Particular influences that now affect the provision of basic restorative services within the community are: (i) diminishing rampant caries in young mouths, (ii) increasing problems related to heavily‐restored adult dentitions, (iii) increasing professional awareness of iatrogenic hazards, and (iv) increasing demand for relatively simple, inexpensive reconstructions. The influence of preventive measures, new and improved materials are also shown to be of great advantage to the patient.
