[Best practice in risk management of Neisseria meningitidis bacterial meningitis at nurseries].

In many contexts is often underestimated the biological risk and schools can be an example. Proof of this is the exclusion of work in the school from the example of the work activities of biohazard included in Annex XLIV of Legislative Decree 81/08. Our work proposes a protocol for risk management meningitis contagious in the specific environment of the nursery taking a cue from the specific experience gained by the Service of Prevention and Protection Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital following the course accreditation Joint Commision.

[Occupational exposure to sevoflurane in pediatric operating rooms: the multi-point sampling method for risk assessment].

Several studies have shown that occupational exposure to anesthetic gases might be higher during pediatric surgery, probably due to the increased use of inhalational induction techniques. Our study aims to assess the level of exposure to sevoflurane in two rooms of pediatric surgery, using multi-point sampling method for environmental monitoring. The gas concentrations as well as its dispersion were measured in strategic points in the rooms for a total of 44 surgical interventions.

[Peritonitis caused by meconial ileus in a very premature patient. Presentation of a clinical case].

The Authors describe a case of meconium peritonitis in a low birth weight infant with associated malrotation of the intestines. We retrospectively analyzed the surgical approach during the stages of the disease. The purpose of this study is to stress a conservative surgical therapy (peritoneal cavity toilette and ileostomy), followed thereafter by intensive care, which should carefully balance metabolic and nutritional needs; it's then possible to perform a second look (canalization) only three mounths later, when a reasonable growth is achieved.
