The implications of hazardous waste neutralization on employees health: a case study.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a lung disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the respiratory tract after exposure to pollutants, causing the obstruction of small respiratory tracts and the destruction of lung parenchyma. These changes ultimately lead to a limitation of air flux. We investigate the association between professional exposure and the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Smoking generated PM 2.5 exposure among Transylvanian students.

Unlabelled: A WHO project initiated in 2004, tries to identify and reduce the number of smoking third year university students attending medical training in Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmaceutical sciences as these participants can become role models that patients can look up to.

Aim: We proposed to make a general view regarding smoking and exposure to smoke within our medical University, in contrast with the existing legislation regarding smoking within public institutions of the Universities. Along with the investigations held at our university we extended these to other tree, non medical universities.

Biological monitoring as proficient assessment method in chronic exposure to irritating gases and vapors.

Unlabelled: Air pollution and its adverse health effect represent a global issue. Long term or permanent exposure at low doses of toxic material may increase the number of new appeared severe respiratory diseases and may aggravate most of the existing chronic cases.

Aim Of Study: In the present study, the main toxic aerosols released by the greatest chemical factory in Transylvania were analyzed and their health impacts were measured.

[Lichtenstein's hernioplasty].

In recent years in Hungary similarly to the worldwide trend the treatment of inguinal hernias has changed. New tension-free methods were developed and--after the introduction by the Department of Surgery, Medical Faculty, University of Pécs--Lichtenstein's method is widely used. Lichtenstein's method has become the gold standard at our department because of its highly favourable results: simple technique, minimal postoperative pain, recurrence rate below 1%, short hospital stay, very low complication rate and early return to physical activity.
