Hygiene and Eating Healthy Habits and Practices in Spanish Families with Children Aged 6 to 14.

2020

During childhood and pre-adolescence, the family environment is key to initiating and consolidating healthy styles in children through a balanced diet and basic hygiene habits. This study analyses hygiene, nutrition and health practices in Spanish families with children between 6 and 14 years of age according to the type of family (nuclear, single-parent or reconstituted) and the quantity, age and gender of the children. A representative Spanish national sample of 1103 Spanish parents, 270 fathers and 833 mothers, with children aged 6 to 14, is analysed. The study is descriptive, using statistical techniques with classic indicators (means, percentages). The results show that nuclear familie…

La microbiología en el siglo XIX español: organización de su actividad científica

1984

S'estudia la legislació i les institucions bacteriològiques del segle XIX. La Microbiologia va estar unida a la Higiene en els plans d'estudi fins ben entrat el segle XIX. De manera independent, en algunes càtedres d'Anatomia Patològica es va començar a explicar les bases de la nova ciència. La investigació bacteriològica es va realitzar, en la Universitat en les càtedres d'Histologia i Anatomia Patològica, i fora d'ella, en laboratoris privats, instituts de vacunació i escoles lliures de medicina. //. Se estudia la legislación y las instituciones bacteriológicas del siglo XIX. La Microbiología estuvo unida a la Higiene en los planes de estudio hasta bien entrado el siglo XIX. De forma inde…

Campylobacter spp. contamination of chicken carcasses during processing in relation to flock colonisation.

2005

The presence and numbers of campylobacters on chicken carcasses from 26 slaughter groups, originating from 22 single-house flocks and processed in four UK plants, were studied in relation to the level of flock colonisation determined by examining the caecal contents of at least ten birds per group. The prevalence of campylobacters on carcasses from five campylobacter-negative flocks processed just after other negative flocks was low (/=30%). Campylobacters were isolated from 90 to 100% of carcasses from three flocks which were partly colonised, with 5, 5 and 30% of caecal contents positive, and which were processed after fully colonised flocks. All carcasses from the remaining fully colonis…

Decontamination of a barrier facility using microisolator cages and provisional partitioning

2007

In 2000, the authors found endemic infections of mouse hepatitis virus, minute virus of mice, Syphacia obvelata, and Myobia musculi among mice in a large barrier facility at the University of Mainz. To eliminate the infections, they subdivided the facility into two distinct hygiene units. However, architectural constraints made it impossible to completely separate the HVAC systems of both hygiene units and to establish adequate personnel locks. To compensate for these suboptimal barrier conditions of the two newly established units, the authors replaced the open-top caging and open-servicing system with filter-top cages that were manipulated in cage-changing stations. The authors then depop…

Evidence for Transmission of Taenia solium Taeniasis/Cysticercosis in a Rural Area of Northern Rwanda

2021

Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the metacestode larval stage (cysticercus) of Taenia solium. In humans, cysticercosis may infect the central nervous system and cause neurocysticercosis, which is responsible for over 50,000 deaths per year worldwide and is the major cause of preventable epilepsy cases, especially in low-income countries. Cysticercosis infection is endemic in many less developed countries where poor hygiene conditions and free-range pig management favor their transmission. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 680 children from a rural primary school in Gakenke district (Northern province of Rwanda). Stool samples were collected from participants and analy…

The influence of micronutrients on oral and general health

2011

Abstract Objective The aim of the present clinical pilot study was to examine the influence of a combination of micronutrients on individuals with high stress experience. Methods 40 healthy students (28 female, 12 male) with a mean age of 27.1 ± 3.0 years, experiencing high examination stress, were chosen. After approval of the ethics commission, one group of students (n = 19) took a combination of micronutrients (Orthomol vital m/f) for three months, whereas other students (n = 21) served as control group. All participants underwent at the beginning and at the end of the trial a dental examination, a determination of 10 periodontal pathogens, a salivary and a blood analysis. In addition, t…

Cancer risk among residents of Rhineland-Palatinate winegrowing communities: a cancer-registry based ecological study

2008

Abstract Aim To investigate the cancer risk among residents of Rhineland-Palatinate winegrowing communities in an ecological study. Methods On the basis of the Rhineland-Palatinate cancer-registry, we calculated age-adjusted incidence rate ratios for communities with a medium area under wine cultivation (>5 to 20 percent) and a large area under wine cultivation (>20 percent) in comparison with communities with a small area under wine cultivation (>0 to 5 percent). In a side analysis, standardized cancer incidence ratios (SIR) were computed separately for winegrowing communities with small, medium and large area under wine cultivation using estimated German incidence rates as refere…

Who cares about calling non-consensual sex "rape" in summaries of fictional narratives on Wikipedia? From a gender identity hypothesis to recurrent a…

2021

International audience; This presentation is based on a larger research project about novel and film summaries on Wikipedia where a recurrent dissensus as to which word summarizes best what happens in a fictional sex scene (typically seduction vs rape) was spotted by exporting and searching revision histories. The linguistic consistency and recurrence of such words shifts suggests these findings cannot be explained solely by interindividual subjective variation in interpretation and chance : can we predict whether a reader / contributor will make this type of discursive shift on the basis of their social identity, such as their gender ? A methodological difficulty is that identity online an…

Influencia de la práctica instrumental en el sistema orofacial

2014

Introducción. El aparato estomatognático es muy importante para los instrumentistas de viento ya que les permite la ejecución musical. Por lo tanto, les debería preocupar su estado en cuanto a función y salud. Se ha observado que una maloclusión puede afectar a la correcta posición del instrumento en la boca, al igual que tocar instrumentos de viento podría influir en el esqueleto dentofacial. Sin embargo la exacta relación entre ellos no se conoce en profundidad. Es a esta relación a lo que pretendemos aportar con este trabajo. Objetivos. El propósito general es valorar los cambios y patologías orofaciales asociadas, con relación de causa-efecto, a la práctica con instrumentos musicales de…
