Occupational biohazards: a review.

There are at least 193 important biological agents that show infectious, allergenic, toxic, or carcinogenic activities in the working population. These agents are viruses, bacteria, fungi, plant substances, invertebrate animals (mostly arthropods), and substances derived from vertebrate animals. At least 20 large occupational groups are exposed to these biohazards. The risk is greatest among health care and laboratory workers who are threatened by human pathogens and among agricultural workers who are at risk from dust-borne biological allergens and toxins and by parasitic worms in warm climates. There is growing evidence that biohazards are also important risk factors for many other professions, including woodworkers, workers of textile plants, sewage and compost workers, miners and renovators. Some suggestions for research and prevention for reducing the occupational risks from biohazards are discussed.

Nosocomial infection in a children's hospital. A retrospective study.

The investigations the frequency of the occurrences of hospital infections were carried in a General Pediatric Ward. Most of the infections (77 per cent) appeared in children up to one year of age. The hospital infections mostly affected children residing in rural areas. The etiological agent was E. coli (36 per cent), Proteus (22.7 per cent) Klebsiella and Staphylococcus. The infections caused by E. coli mainly appeared in girls, others- in boys. The frequency of the occurrences of hospital infections was also analysed with respect to the primary disease of a child. In most cases of additional infections were found in children with upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia and bronchitis. The above differences are statistically valid.

[Caries prevalence in people aged over 50 years living in the province of Lublin].

A group of 2022 people aged over 50 years were examined in a search for possible effects of various social features on the condition of teeth. Each feature was recorded in a special inquiry and then all data were put in order, and subjected to statistical and epidemiological-demographic analysis. The examination demonstrated a very bad condition of teeth in males and females. Thus the greatest number of carietic teeth, that is 2.21 per 14.92% of complete denture was in the group aged 50-55 years. A very high proportion of carietic teeth (21.55%) was in the individuals never receiving stomatological services and those who had never had proper stomatological care (1.11%). The obtained results show a considerable relationship between the persisting teeth and the availability of stomatological treatment, distance from the place of residence to specialist outpatient clinic, and the need for teeth treatment which was not felt by a high proportion of these people. Most of them came to the dentist only with strong pain. The bad condition of teeth in this group was caused by lack of adequate stomatological health education, lack of adequate prophylactic care, and lack of early treatment of stomatognathic system.
