Zastitnom izolacijom hematoloskih bolesnika sprecava se prijenos infekcija putem kontakta, hrane, vode, zraka i nežive bolnicke okoline. U radu je prikazan tijek epidemije uzrokovane Malassezia na odjelu za hematologiju, kao i mjere koje su dovele do zavrsetka epidemije

Ispitanici i postupci. Retrospektivno je analizirana struktura vlastitih pacijenata na Zavodu za mobilnu protetiku, koji su pregledani i po potrebi lijeceni zbog gubitaka zubi i/ili temporomandibularnih poremecaja (TMP) u periodu 2001.-2010. Pacijenti su lijeceni u okviru nastave klinickih vježbi kolegija mobilne protetike i znanstvenog rada s temom TMP. Rezultati. Ukupno je obuhvaceno 510 pacijenata, od toga 28, 82% muskog spola i prosjecne dobi 49, 08±20, 09 godina (raspon 10-39 godina).

The mean age of workers was 32 years and the mean exposure 12 years. A significantly higher prevalence of all chronic respiratory symptoms and diseases was found in exposed compared to control workers. This was particularly pronounced for chest tightness (exposed: 44.7%; control: 0%), dyspnoea (exposed: 42.6%; control: 2.0%) and rhinitis (exposed: 46.3%; control: 2.4%). In exposed workers there was also a high prevalence of acute symptoms which developed during work shift, particularly irritation of the throat (56.6%), dryness of the throat (61.4%), dryness of the nose (56.4%), and eye irritation (63.6%). The prevalence of acute and chronic respiratory symptoms and diseases increased with duration of exposure. There were also statistically significant acute reductions in all ventilatory capacity tests (FVC, FEV1, FEF50, FEF25) during work shift. The measured ventilatory capacity values in exposed workers were sign...

The established prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms was similar to that found in the general pollution. It was also higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Relatively a very small number of workers (only smokers) complained of acute symptoms during work shift. The measured ventilatory capacity values were not significantly different from the predicted values. There was a significant increase in all ventilatory capacity values during work shift (FVC, FEV1, FEF50, FEF25) which varied from +1.9 to 9.8% of the preshift values. In older workers (>40 years of age) as well as in those with longer exposure (<40 years) and those with shorter employment (<10 years). Smoking habit appears to be the major factor responsible for the development of lung impairment in workers not exposed to atmospheric poll...

There were significantly higher prevalences of most of the chronic respiratory symptoms in poultry workers than in controls (p < 0.01 or < 0.05). Poultry male smokers had significantly higher prevalences of chronic cough, chronic phlegm and chronic bronchitis than poultry male nonsmokers (p < 0.01). Poultry workers employed for more than 10 years had also significantly higher prevalences of these symptoms than those with shorter employment (except female smokers). There was also a high prevalence of acute symptoms in poultry workers which develop during work shift. The measured FVC, FEV1 and FEF25 in poultry workers were significantly lower than predicted normal values. Changes were particularly pronounced in workers employed for more than 10 years. We showed additionally that a water-soluble poultry ex...

Today, chronic conditions affect the poor, young, and middle-aged people in high-income countries. The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been continuously growing for over half a century and has reached pandemic proportions. In the present study, we aimed to estimate the trends in prediabetes and DM prevalence and to determine related risk factors among Kosovo people from 2011 to 2019. Methods and Results: A population-based survey was conducted among people aged 18-69 from April 2018 to June 2019 and those aged 15-64 using the WHO STEPs instrument. Detailed findings on the magnitude of DM and impaired fasting blood glucose (FBG) are presented in this paper. Prevalence of prediabetes in 2011 at 15-64 years was 6.0% (95% CI, 4.6% - 7.9%), and in 2019 at 18-69 years was 6.1% (95% CI, 5.3% - 7.1%), not a significant difference (P>0.05). To avoid bias fro...
