Evidence of low prevalence of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Poland
SerdülÅ‘k egészségi állapotának nemzetközi összehasonlÃtó vizsgálata | International comparative study on health condition of young people
Bevezetés: Az egészségi állapot kapcsolata a megküzdési stratégiákkal (coping), illetve az érzelmi intelligenciával, nemzetközileg széles körben kutatott, azonban erdélyi és magyarországi serdülÅ‘kkel végzett összehasonlÃtó vizsgálati adatok a szakirodalomban nem állnak rendelkezésre. Célkitűzés: SerdülÅ‘k egészségindikátorainak, érzelmi intelligenciájának és megküzdési stratégiáinak elemzése és e tényezÅ‘knek az egészségi állapottal való összefüggéseinek vizsgálata egy nemzetközi kutatás keretében. Módszer: A szerzÅ‘k 390, 13–19 éves debreceni és érmihályfalvi serdülÅ‘ egészségi állapotát, megküzdési stratégiáit és érzelmi intelligenciáját vizsgálták. Eredmények: A stresszhelyzetben alkalmazott adaptÃv (azaz problémafókuszú) megküzdési mechanizmusok alacsonyabb depresszióértékkel, valamint jobb pszichés közérzettel jártak együtt, mint a maladaptÃvak (úgymint emóciókiürÃtés, önbüntetés, figyelemelterelés). A magasabb érzelmi intelligenciával rendelkezÅ‘ serdülÅ‘k alacsonyabb depressziószinttel és jobb pszichés közérzettel rendelkeztek, mint társaik. Következtetések: Komoly prevenciós és intervenciós népegészségügyi program lehet a minél fiatalabb életkorban intézményileg elindÃtott érzelmi intelligencia és coping készségfejlesztés. Ez primer prevenciós szinten megalapozza a fiataloknál az egészségtudatos szemlélet kialakulását és a személyiségfejlesztÅ‘ hatást. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(34), 1353–1360.

Introduction: The connection between physical condition, coping strategies and emotional intelligence is widely studied in the international literature, but comparative research data collected among Transylvanian and Hungarian adolescents are not available in contemporary psychological literature. Aim: The aim of the authors was to study health indicators, emotional intelligence and coping strategies among adolescents and analyse connections between these factors and physical condition as part of an international research. Method: The physical condition, coping strategies and emotional intelligence of 390 individuals, aged between 13 and 19 years living in Debrecen (Hungary) and Érmihályfalva (Romania) were observed. Results: adaptive (i. e. problem-focused) coping strategies used in stressful situations resulted in lower depression rates, as well as better mental well-being than the maladaptive ones such as emotional clearing, self-punishment, distraction of attention. Adolescents showing higher emotional intelligence had lower depression levels and better mental well-being. Conclusions: Institutionally initiated emotional intelligence and coping strategy development for young people may prove to be an important preventive interventional public health programme. This may serve as a basis to assist health-consciousness and personality formatting. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(34), 1353–1360
Multi-Etiological Nature of Tuberculosis-Like Lesions in Condemned Pigs at the Slaughterhouse
Surveillance of bovine tuberculosis and risk estimation of a future reservoir formation in wildlife in Switzerland and Liechtenstein
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) caused by Mycobacterium bovis or M. caprae has recently (re-) emerged in livestock and wildlife in all countries bordering Switzerland (CH) and the Principality of Liechtenstein (FL). Comprehensive data for Swiss and Liechtenstein wildlife are not available so far, although two native species, wild boar (Sus scrofa) and red deer (Cervus elaphus elaphus), act as bTB reservoirs elsewhere in continental Europe. Our aims were (1) to assess the occurrence of bTB in these wild ungulates in CH/FL and to reinforce scanning surveillance in all wild mammals; (2) to evaluate the risk of a future bTB reservoir formation in wild boar and red deer in CH/FL. Tissue samples collected from 2009 to 2011 from 434 hunted red deer and wild boar and from eight diseased ungulates with tuberculosis-like lesions were tested by direct real-time PCR and culture to detect mycobacteria of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Identification of suspicious colonies was attempted by real-time PCR, genotyping and spoligotyping. Information on risk factors for bTB maintenance within wildlife populations was retrieved from the literature and the situation regarding identified factors was assessed for our study areas. Mycobacteria of the MTBC were detected in six out of 165 wild boar (3.6%; 95% CI: 1.4-7.8) but none of the 269 red deer (0%; 0-1.4). M. microti was identified in two MTBC-positive wild boar, while species identification remained unsuccessful in four cases. Main risk factors for bTB maintenance worldwide, including different causes of aggregation often resulting from intensive wildlife management, are largely absent in CH and FL. In conclusion, M. bovis and M. caprae were not detected but we report for the first time MTBC mycobacteria in Swiss wild boar. Present conditions seem unfavorable for a reservoir emergence, nevertheless increasing population numbers of wild ungulates and offal consumption may represent a risk
