Urinary tract infections in adult and adolescent females of a developing community: pattern, bacteriology and genitourinary predisposing factors.

One hundred and twenty-seven consecutive adult and adolescent female patients with culture-proven urinary tract infections were analyzed to determine the pattern, bacteriology and the predisposing causes. Age ranged from 13 to 70 years (median 32, mean 35.7 years). Community acquired urinary tract infections occurred in 85%, while hospital acquired infections in 15% of cases. Urinary tract stones were the most frequently identified genitourinary predisposing causes, which occurred in 16 patients (15%). However, 52.3% of all patients had no identifiable predisposing cause. E. coli, the most frequently isolated organisms from patients with community acquired urinary tract infections, occurred in only 55.6%, while gram-positive cocci isolated from 28 patients (22%) are emerging as important hospital and community acquired urinary tract pathogens. The implications of these findings and a comparison with the reported literature are discussed.

[A sickness called unemployment: a long-term unemployment. Association of Community Development (ACD)].

OBJECTIVES: The general objective of this investigation is to know the possible consequences of long-term unemployment on the family and social environment, as well as the mechanisms which lead to the appearance of health problems among long-term unemployed people. METHODS: The subjects of this study were long-term unemployed people of 35 to 55 years of age of the municipal term of Madrid, with families depending on them. This is a qualitative-intensive investigation, with special emphasis on the individual, social, sanitary and economical aspects. The instrument of common measurement was the combination of the discussion group integrated by five people, during approximately 120 minutes, with focused and individual interviews (48) over a semistructured script, during approximately 60 minutes, using recording instruments (audio tape). RESULTS: During the development of the discussion group a worsening of the psychological health and family situation was observed as a consequence of remaining unemployed. In the more thorough interviews we could detect clear differences according to the impact of unemployment on health depending on the low socioeconomical area, women and older unemployed people. CONCLUSIONS: The effects of unemployment on health cannot be isolated from other underlying bad social and economical conditions, that is to say, from social, economical, educative inequalities, etc., previous to the unemployment situation.

Developing community mental health services for indigenous people of northern Ontario.

Inadequacies of three common models of mental health service delivery have been presented but each of these can contribute to an adequate system if the approach aims at the totality of mental health care. The key to service delivery and the provision of services in the local community by adequately trained and supervised mental health workers familiar with the culture and language and who are involved with other community workers in an inter-agency process. A major and the most important part of the work occurs in this level. This front line work must have the back-up and support of the system which has three roots. The clinical root is that of a support team of professionals, the local nursing station, hospital and the tertiary institutions. The second root is in training and education by recognized courses and other resources and the third in an adequate administration in which the indigenous population has been put in control.
