Assessment of health promotion activities at the workplace in food industry companies

Rezumat Obiective. În prezent pattern-ul epidemiologic pune în evidență faptul că principalele cauze de deces sunt bolile cronice netransmisibile, precum boala ischemică a cordului, accidentul vascular cerebral, cancerul și ciroza hepatică, diabetul, etc. Mai multe studii au evidențiat că adițional factorilor de risc comportamentali, la dezvoltarea și menținerea acestor categorii de maladii, un rol semnificativ revine și factorilor profesionali de risc. Organizația Mondială a Sănătății subliniază că locul de muncă este un cadru propice pentru promovarea sănătății și bunăstării, inclusiv prin asigurarea unui mediu de lucru fizic și psihosocial sigur și sănătos. Scopul studiului este de a evalua necesitățile și activitățile de promovare a sănătății în unitățile economice din industria alimentației. Material și metode. Au fost analizate 4 întreprinderi din industria alimentației, lideri în panificație, producerea laptelui, băuturilor carbogazoase și articolelor de cofetărie. S-a studiat starea de sănătate a salariaților, factorii profesionali de risc, programele de promovare a sănătății la locul de muncă. Frecvențele absolute și raporturile procentuale au fost utilizate pentru analiza descriptivă a studiului. Testul de independență χ2 , modelul regresiei multinominale și analiza triplă ANOVA au fost utilizate pentru analizele inferențiale (Softul IBM SPSS, Statistics 23). Rezultate. În perioada anilor 2010-2020 s-a modificat raportul dintre rata morbidității cronice și a celei primare, cu reducerea statistic semnificativă a ratei morbidității cronice la 1.000 de salariați față de rata morbidității primare (z=14,6; p<0,001). Cel mai mare procent de adresări, din partea lucrătorilor, la medicii specialiștii a fost înregistrat la: terapeut (38,0%), ginecolog (14,9%), și chirurg (13,1%). Anual, 236,0±107,00 angajați expuși factorilor profesionali de risc sunt eligibili pentru efectuarea examenelor medicale periodice obligatorii, dintre care 49,1±12,05% sunt femei. Rata de acoperire fiind de 91,5±6,00% și 94,1±2,93% în rândul femeilor. În cadrul examenelor respective sunt diagnosticați pentru prima dată cu boli cronice generale 0-17% (în mediu 10,2±5,13%) persoane examinate, inclusiv 0-15,8% (în mediu 9,2±4,61%) în rândul femeilor. În toate întreprinderile sunt implementate măsuri de respectare a exigențelor de securitate și sănătate în muncă în conformitate cu prevederile actelor normative în domeniu cât și de măsurile de combatere a fumatului prevăzute în Legea 278 din 14.12.2007 privind controlul tutunului. Concluzii. Mediul ocupațional din industria alimentară se caracterizează prin prezența factorilor profesionali de risc cu impact asupra dezvoltării bolilor netransmisibile majore. În întreprinderi sunt implementate doar intervențiile de promovare a sănătății, impuse prin reglementări. Este imperativ de a valorifica locul de muncă ca mediu propice pentru promovarea sănătății, prin crearea rețelei naționale a locurilor de muncă care promovează sănătatea în termeni proximi.Summary Objectives. Currently, the epidemiological pattern highlights the fact that the main causes of death are non-communicable chronic diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer and liver cirrhosis, diabetes, etc. Several studies have shown that in addition to behavioral risk factors, professional risk factors play a significant role in the development and maintenance of this category of pathology. The World Health Organization emphasizes that the workplace is an enabling environment for promoting health and well-being, including by ensuring a safe and healthy physical and psychosocial work environment. The purpose of the study is to assess the needs and activities of health promotion in economic units in the food industry. Material and methods. A total of 4 enterprises from the food industry, leaders in bakery, production of milk, carbonated beverages and confectionery, were analyzed. The state of health of the employees, the professional risk factors, the health promotion programs at the workplace were studied. Absolute frequencies and percentage ratios were used for descriptive analysis of the study. The χ2 test of independence, multinomial regression model and three-way ANOVA analysis were used for inferential analyzes (IBM SPSS software, Statistics 23). Results. Between 2010 and 2020, the ratio between the chronic and primary morbidity rate changed, with a statistically significant reduction in the chronic morbidity rate per 1.000 employees compared to the primary morbidity rate (z=14.6; p<0.001). The highest percentage of workers attending medical specialists was recorded at the therapist (38.0%), gynecologist (14.9%), and surgeon (13.1%). Annually, 236.0±107.00 employees exposed to occupational risk factors are eligible for mandatory periodical medical examinations, of which 49.1±12.05% are women. The coverage rate being 91.5±6.00% and 94.1±2.93% among women. During the respective examinations, 0-17% (on average 10.2±5.13%) of people examined are diagnosed for the first time with general chronic diseases, including 0-15.8% (on average 9.2±4.61%) among women. In all enterprises, measures are implemented to comply with the occupational health and safety requirements provided by the health legislation, measures to combat tobacco smoking provided by Law 278 of 14.12.2007 on tobacco control. Conclusions. The occupational environment in the food industry is characterized by the presence of occupational risk factors with an impact on the development of major non-communicable diseases. Only health promotion interventions imposed by regulations are implemented in enterprises. It is imperative to capitalize on the workplace as an enabling environment for health promotion, by creating the national network of health-promoting workplaces in the near term

Contemporary principles of diagnosis and treatment of tibial plateau fractures

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, The 8th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, September 24-26, 2020Introduction. Fractures of the tibial plateau are articular fractures that can severely affect the function of the knee if a not treated or treated incorrect. Often the definitive diagnosis is made postoperatively or remains without details due to the wide association of lesions of soft structures, invisible on radiological lines. Aim of the study. Analyzing of contemporary methods of treatment and diagnosis of tibial plateau fractures Materials and methods. This information is based on a review of different articles from the open access databases: PubMed, PMC and GoogleScholar, using the Results. Tibial plateau fractures are complex injuries that most often affect young adults or the ‘third age’ population. These fractures usually have associated soft-tissue lesions that will affect their treatment. Associated soft tissue injuries in tibial plateau fractures can be divided as soft tissue envelope lesions, neurovascular injuries and intra-articular lesions. Lesions of the ligaments and/or the menisci has been reported in several studies and may contribute, if not properly treated, to the substandard outcomes associated with this type of fractures. Traditionally, meniscal tears are reported in 20-50% cases of all the tibial plateau fractures, while ligaments lesions are reported in 10-30%. Typically the Schatzker or AO/OTA classification is used, but the concept of the proximal tibia as a three-column structure and the detailed study of the posteromedial and posterolateral fragment morphology has changed its treatment strategy. Partially articular factures can be treated by minimally-invasive methods and arthroscopy is useful to assist and control the fracture reduction and to treat intra-articular soft-tissue injuries. The imaging studies routinely performed for tibial plateau fractures are plain anteroposterior and lateral radiographs and threedimensional CT, while MRI has not yet become a standard tool. The final outcome of surgical treatment may be influenced by associated lesions of the menisci or of the knee ligaments. Conclusions. Tibial plateau fractures are severe injuries, usually associated with soft-tissue lessions and complications. Minimally-invasive osteosynthesis, when possible, is recommended in partial articular fractures. The indications of the surgical treatment appear from: the state of the soft tissues, the quality of the bone, the type fractures and conditions for early rehabilitation of the patient. Patients suffering a tibial plateau fracture should be aware of the residual pain and functional limitations that can appear in the mid- and long-term
