Preparation of Electrochemically Activated Water Solutions (Catholyte/Anolyte) and Studying Their Physical-Chemical Properties

The electrochemical treatment of water by the electric current is a promising modern approach in the water disinfection technique, resulting in obtaining the electrochemically activated water solutions (catholyte/anolyte) carrying new physical-chemical properties stipulated by changing of the electrochemical characteristics of water as ORP, Eh, pH. The electrochemically activated water solutions – the catholyte and anolyte can be used in medicine for treatment of various bacterial and viral diseases and in disinfection of water. The process of electrochemical water treatment includes several electrochemical processes associated with the transfer in a constant electric field the electrons, ions and other charged particles (electrolysis, electrophoresis, electroflotation, electrocoagulation), the main of which is the electrolysis of water. This article deals with the review of basic physical-chemical processes underlying the electrolysis of water and preparation of electrochemically activated water solutions (catholyte/anolyte) and studying their physical-chemical properties. The virucidal action of the anolyte and catolyte was studied on cell culture and suspensions of classical swine fever (CSF) virus. Key words: electrochemical treatment of water, anolyte, catholyte, electrolysis, classical swine fever (CSF) virus

Studying the Virucidal and Biocidal Effects of Electrochemically Activited Anolyte and Catholyte Types of Water on Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSF) and Bactrerium E. coli DH5

This article outlines the results on the antimicrobial action of electrochemically activated water solutions (anolyte/catholyte). The two types of water solutions are produced in the anode and cathode chamber of the electrolitic cell, respectively. Under laboratory conditions a strain of E. coli DH5, as well as the cell culture and organ suspensions of сlassical swine fever virus (CSF) were treated with the anolyte and the catholyte. By inoculating them with cell cultures the viral presence (the presence of viral antigen) was measured using the immunoperoxidase technique. It was found that anolyte did not affect the growth of the cell culture PK-15; the viral growth in the infection of a cell monolayer with a cell culture CSF virus was affected in the greatest degree by the anolyte in 1:1 dilution and less by other dilutions; whereas the viral growth at the infection of a cell suspension with the cell culture of the CSF virus was affected by the anolyte in dilution 1:1 in the greatest degree, and less by other dilutions; whereas the viral growth at the infection with the CSF in suspension of the cell monolayer was affected by the anolyte in all applied dilutions. Unexpectedly, the stronger biocidal effect of the catholyte was observed when a strain of E. coli DH5 was treated by anolyte and catholyte, respectively. In order to provide additional data about the antiviral activity of the catholyte and the anolyte, and the distribution of H2O molecules according to the energies of hydrogen bonds, the non-equilibrium energy spectrum (NES) and diferential non-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of anolyte and catholyte were measured.

Ensimmäistä kertaa masennuksen vuoksi psykiatrisessa avo-osastohoidossa olevien potilaiden kokemuksia peloista ja niistä selviytymisestä

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata ensimmäistä kertaa masennuksen vuoksi psykiatrisessa avo-osastohoidossa olevien potilaiden kokemuksia peloista ja niistä selviytymisestä. Aineiston keruu tapahtui teemahaastattelemalla 12 psykiatrista potilasta ennen heidän kotiutumistaan. Haastattelun teema-alueet nousivat aiemmista tutkimuksista. Haastatteluja tehtäessä osastohoitoajat vaihtelivat kolmesta päivästä viiteen viikkoon. Aineisto analysoitiin induktiivisesti etenevällä sisällön analyysillä. Haastateltavien osastohoitoon tulosyynä oli masennus ja/tai itsemurhayritys ja/tai vakavia itsemurha-ajatuksia. Haastateltavien kokemukset psykiatrisesta hoidosta olivat pääosin myönteisiä. Tulosten mukaan pelot ilmenivät epävarmuutena ja epätietoisuutena osastolle tultaessa. Lääkitykseen suhtauduttiin pelolla ja lisäksi koettiin arvostelun ja kohtaamisen pelkoja. Myös tietämättömyys tulevaisuudesta pelotti. Peloista selviydyttiin osastohoidon avulla sekä perheen, ystävien ja hoidollisten keskustelujen tuella. Lisäksi lääkkeet ja masennus sekä toiminta vähensivät pelkoja. Usein pelkojen kohteet ja selviytymiskeinot kietoutuivat yhteen niin, että samat asiat pelottivat ja olivat selviytymiskeinoina. Esimerkiksi osastohoito, lääkitys, hoitoneuvottelut, keskustelut ja tulevaisuus esiintyivät sekä pelon kohteina että selviytymiskeinoina. Tämä tutkimus tuottaa uutta tietoa hoitohenkilökunnan tarpeisiin. Psykiatristen potilaiden pelkoja ja niistä selviytymistä ei ole aiemmin tutkittu. Pelon tunnistaminen auttaa löytämään potilaalle sopivia selviytymiskeinoja. Eri tutkimusmenetelmin toteutettuna lisätutkimusta psykiatristen potilaiden peloista tarvitaan sekä perheen ja lähiomaisten että hoitohenkilökunnan näkökulmasta. Avainsanat: pelko, selviytyminen, psykiatrinen hoit
