Occupational hygiene in a Finnish drum composting plant

2005

Bioaerosols (microbes, dust and endotoxins) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined in the working air of a drum composting plant treating source-separated catering waste. Different composting activities at the Oulu drum composting plant take place in their own units separated by modular design and constructions. Important implication of this is that the control room is a relatively clean working environment and the risk of exposure to harmful factors is low. However, the number of viable airborne microbes was high both in the biowaste receiving hall and in the drum composting hall. The concentration (geometric average) of total microbes was 21.8 million pcs/m3 in the biowaste…

Development of a European consensus from dentists, dental hygienists and physicians on a standard for oral health care in care-dependent older people…

2020

ObjectivesThis study aimed to obtain a consensus on oral health policy, access to dental care, oral hygiene measures and training levels.BackgroundPoor oral health is widespread in care-dependent older people, but no consensus for a minimum standard of oral health care exists yet.MethodsThe e-Delphi approach was applied to a selected panel of interdisciplinary experts. Data analysis was based on three measurements: (a) ≥70% of experts’ opinion fall into category “agree or strongly agree,” (b) median score on the 5-point Likert scale ≥4, (c) interquartile range ≤1.ResultsA total of 31 experts from 17 European countries participated in this survey. Agreement was achieved for a compulsory dent…

Innovación educativa para integrar la seguridad en asignaturas experimentales

2014

La formación es uno de los pilares esenciales para consolidar una auténtica cultura de la prevención que luego repercuta en el ámbito laboral. En Ingeniería Química, la formación en Higiene y Seguridad es absolutamente necesaria, por el tipo de equipos y productos manejados. Sin embargo, la integración de la prevención de riesgos en los nuevos planes de estudio de Ingeniería Química es muy variable, y todavía insuficiente para que los egresados estén capacitados para desarrollar su actividad profesional aplicando los principios de la prevención de riesgos. Aprovechando la puesta en marcha de los nuevos grados, se pensó desarrollar alguna estrategia para mejorar la formación en Seguridad de …

Periodontal health in a population with Parkinson's disease in Spain: a cross-sectional study.

2022

Background: The aim of this research is to evaluate the periodontal health of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) in a Spanish cohort. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 104 patients with PD (mean age: 66.19+9.3 years) and 106 controls (mean age: 59.26+14.11 years). A pre-designed clinical protocol was implemented, which included a standardized epidemiological index for periodontal disease (CPITN), clinical attachment loss (CAL), tooth-loss, full mouth plaque index (FMPI), and oral hygienic habits. Univariate descriptions and comparative analysis were performed. Results: The majority of PD patients presented good oral hygienic habits. There were no significant d…

National Italian Guidelines for caries prevention in 0 to 12 years-old children

2007

Abstract AIM: Oral and dental health improved tremendously over the last fifty years in Italy but still prevalence of dental caries in children remains a significant clinical problem. This report describes the National Italian Guidelines for caries prevention. METHODOLOGY: A panel of experts coordinated by the Italian Society of Paediatric Dentistry (SIOI) planned to elaborate the national Italian guidelines for caries prevention in children. The structure of the guidelines has been planned to follow the principles of modern caries treatment and management as well as science based dentistry. The main procedure was based on a hierarchic evaluation of literature. CONCLUSION: The guidelines ar…

Evaluation of holy basil mouthwash as an adjunctive plaque control agent in a four day plaque regrowth model

2014

Objectives: Various antibacterial and antiplaque agents are used in chemical plaque control but none are without their shortcomings. Chlorhexidine considered a gold standard, also has an array of side effects. To overcome these, numerous herbal extracts have been tried and tested and one among them is holy basil. The present study evaluated the antibacterial efficacy of holy basil in vitro against some periodontopathogens and its antiplaque ef fect in vivo. Study Design: Thirty periodontally healthy volunteers were randomly divided into three groups and refrained from all mechanical oral hygiene measures for 4 days and used one of the randomly assigned mouthwash (1- chlor - hexidine; 2- hol…

Comparison of modified Bass, Fones and normal tooth brushing technique for the efficacy of plaque control in young adults- A randomized clinical trial

2019

Background To compare the anti plaque efficacy of Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing techniques in young adults. Material and methods An investigator blinded randomized controlled trial with parallel design was adopted to compare the anti plaque efficacy of three tooth brushing techniques. The study population consisted of 120 dental students aged between 18 and 30 years. Results At the baseline, the mean plaque scores were 0.74 ± 0.39, 0.77 ± 0.34 and 0.98 ± 0.36 respectively, for Modified Bass, Fones and Normal brushing technique. After 24 hours without any oral hygiene activity, the plaque scores increased to 1.04 ± 0.30, 1.11 ± 0.32 and 1.21 ± 0.40, respectively. After 1 week of u…

Salud laboral desde los servicios de la administración sanitaria: las oportunidades de la “perspectiva laboral” para el ejercicio de la salud pública

2020

La interacción entre salud pública y salud laboral desde los correspondientes servicios de la administración sanitaria sigue un abordaje que se podría formular en los siguientes términos: ¿qué puede hacer la salud pública por el mejor ejercicio la salud laboral?. Así, en salud laboral se trasladan a la atención sobre la población trabajadora conceptos y herramientas propios de la salud pública tales como los sistemas de vigilancia de enfermedades o los programas de promoción de la salud que, pese a las mutilaciones que impone “la puerta de la fábrica”, contribuyen a proteger y mejorar la salud de la población trabajadora. También se apuntan con enorme potencial (y no pocas dificultades) pro…
