Filter by:The study hypothesizes that EHMRs with P100 filters will provide superior respiratory protection during simulated CPR compared to disposable N95 FFRs as measured by qualitative fit testing. To this end, the study is a prospective observational cohort to evaluate the effectiveness of disposable FFRs and EHMR during simulated CPR. The primary endpoint will be subject report of detection of the testing agent during a 2 minute session of simulated chest compressions on a mannequin while wearing the respiratory protection that subjects routinely wear during the course of employment.
This is an observational study to examine the cardiovascular mechanisms of increased cardiovascular mortality in those with high activity occupations.
This quasi-experimental study was performed in poultry processing industry. The study aimed to evaluate the benefits of ergonomic training for novice and experienced workers. Sociodemographic and occupational questionnaires were evaluated, musculoskeletal complaints and pain intensity, perceived occupational effort, biomechanical exposure and perception in adopting the training. Complaints in the cervical, wrist and lumbar region were reduced with training, but the intensity of pain was only reduced in the wrist region. There was a reduction in the occupational biomechanical exposure from pre-training, to the post-immediate, and from pre-training to after 2 months for both beginners and experienced. The group of novice workers differed from those with the highest biomechanical exposure reduction in the cutting room tasks. All workers were benefited by ergonomic training in the short and medium term.
The main purpose of this study is to update the pulmonary retention values of non-fibrous mineral particles in the general population. This study will provide reference values for the interpretation and diagnosis of the cause of certain respiratory diseases potentially related to mineral particles.
considering the increase number of occupational injuries, The aim of this study is to assess the current level of knowledge, attitude and practice of fifth year dental students as regards post exposure prophylaxis.
Sevoflurane is a widely used volatile agent for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia. The administration of sevoflurane involves the risk of occupational exposure. Possible negative implications of chronic occupational exposure to sevoflurane are not completely refuted. In Germany no maximum workplace concentration for sevoflurane is defined. This study aims to find out if working conditions of physicians and different anaesthesia techniques effect the extent of occupational exposure to sevoflurane.
This study evaluates the effects of the Labour Inspection Authority's regulatory tools on workplace exposures to prevent employee ill health. Norwegian municipal enterprises with employees in the home care sector have been randomized to three different experimental groups and to one control group. We hypothesize a significant lower level of work environmental exposures and health complaints, after adjusting for pre-intervention measures, in the experimental groups compared to the control group.
Considering the increasing number of HIV and HBV cases, the aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge,Attitude and practice of fifth year undergraduate dental students regarding post-exposure prophylaxis.
This is a cross-sectional and prospective cohort study using a biopsychosocial approach to investigate office workers at risk of standing-induced musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study is to determine which factors are associated with developing or worsening of musculoskeletal pain (changes in the Visual Analogue Scale from baseline) during a 60 minute standing paradigm.
Flour milling is from the oldest trade industry. Several problems arise during functioning and maintenance operations. Production process involves the breakdown of grains to separate their outer covering and inner endosperm grinding to fine flour particles. Workers are at substantial risk with two main problems causing severe health issues and accidents. The first is the improper flour milling process including intake and final products collection systems. The second is the unawareness and unavailability of PPE.
