Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.6K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Standard Precaution

2.4K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Mutations01:35

Mutations

41.8K
Mutations are changes in the sequence of DNA. These changes can occur spontaneously or they can be induced by exposure to environmental factors. Mutations can be characterized in a number of different ways: whether and how they alter the amino acid sequence of the protein, whether they occur over a small or large area of DNA, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells.
Chromosomal Alterations Are Large-Scale Mutations
While point mutations are changes in a single nucleotide in...

Preventive Healthcare Services

1.2K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing01:10

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.3K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.1K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Summary

U.S. military personnel experience higher sunburn rates and use less sun protection at work compared to civilians. Increased education and workplace support are needed for effective sun safety practices.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Dermatology
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Military personnel face significant occupational ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure.
  • Mission demands often override sun-protective behaviors.
  • Previous studies suggest institutional factors hinder sun protection use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess sunburn rates among U.S. Navy service members.
  • To evaluate sun-protective practices in the military workplace.
  • To understand service members' perceptions of available sun protection modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey distributed to 1000 active duty U.S. Navy service members in aircraft squadrons.
  • Data collected on sunburn incidence, sun protection use, and workplace sun exposure.
  • Statistical analysis using Pearson's chi-squared tests to identify significant trends.

Main Results:

  • 89.6% response rate; 55.1% reported sunburn in the past year, exceeding civilian rates.
  • Routine sun protection use (62.2%) was lower than in civilian populations.
  • Low reported use of sunscreen at work (12.3%) contrasted with leisure activities (36.5%).

Conclusions:

  • U.S. military personnel exhibit higher sunburn rates and lower workplace sun protection use.
  • Barriers to consistent sun protection use in the military work environment exist.
  • Enhanced education and accessible sun protection tools are necessary for military members.
