RESUMO

The healthcare sector is an important contributor to mercury (Hg) pollution because of the potential presence of mercury in thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, amalgams, etc. There are also other potential sources of mercury in this sector which are used frequently and in high volumes where the presence of the metal is not obvious and which might be collectively contributing to pollution. For instance, some chemicals used for the clinical diagnosis of illness may contain mercury. The goal of this study was to investigate potential sources of mercury pollution, which originate from clinical laboratory discharges, using an exploratory approach. The focus was on the residue generated during automatic analysis of patients' bodily fluids at a medical center in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. This study shows an overview of what might be happening in the region or the country related to non-obvious sources of mercury in the healthcare sector. The results showed measurable levels of mercury in the residues coming from urine sediment analysis. These amounts do not exceed the maximum allowed by Mexican environmental regulations; nevertheless, the frequency and cumulative volume of residues generated, combined with the potential for persistence and the bioaccumulation of mercury in the environment, warrant attention. The work carried out in this study is being taken as a model for future studies for pollution prevention in the healthcare sector with the goal of measuring mercury emissions to the environment from clinical laboratory wastewater, including identifying sources which--while not obvious--could be important given the frequency and volume of their use in the clinical diagnosis.

RESUMO

En este artículo ofrecemos una revisión de los cambios normativos más recientes que afectan al sistema español de la Seguridad Social en materia de protección en incapacidades laborales (especialmente Incapacidad Temporal), pues es importante que los médicos generales conozcan cómo estos cambios pueden influir en su actividad profesional diaria (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo. Mostrar la situación actual en cuanto a la participación de los fisioterapeutas de Atención Primaria en las reuniones de los Equipos de Atención Primaria (EAP) de los Centros de Salud en Castilla y León. Diseño. Se ha planteado una toma de datos exhaustiva en la población de fisioterapeutas de Atención Primaria de Castilla y León, lográndose recoger finalmente las opiniones de cerca del 70 % de ellos. El cuestionario incluye 42 preguntas. Un grupo de ellas son de tipo cuantitativo, otras ordinales para medir el grado de satisfacción en diferentes aspectos profesionales y otras dicotómicas del tipo SÍ/NO. Emplazamiento. La toma de datos se realizó en Zamora el día 28 de mayo de 2004 durante un descanso entre ponencias de las XIII Jornadas de Fisioterapia de Atención Primaria de Castilla y León. Participantes. Estas jornadas reunieron a 72 fisioterapeutas sobre un total de 92 (78,3 %). Respondió la encuesta el 87,5 % de los asistentes a las jornadas, lo que supone el 68,5 % del total de Castilla y León. Mediciones principales. Centramos este trabajo en el análisis de 5 variables dicotómicas (participo en las reuniones, me gustaría participar, creo tener algo que aportar en la organización, en las reuniones clínicas y en la docencia), y ciertos cruces de éstas con datos personales de edad, sexo, provincia en que desarrolla su trabajo y tipo de centro (rural/urbano). Resultados. La participación habitual de los fisioterapeutas de Atención Primaria en las reuniones del Centro de Salud es bastante escasa en la actualidad (31,03 %). En contraposición, una altísima proporción de fisioterapeutas encuestados (93,88 %) se manifiesta deseoso de participar en ellas. Conclusiones. El colectivo de fisioterapeutas participa muy poco en las reuniones pero está mayoritariamente motivado para tomar parte en ellas


Aim. To show the present situation regarding participation of Primary Care physiotherapists in the meetings of EAP (Primary Care Teams) of the C.S. (Health Centres) in Castilla y León. Procedure. A rigorous data collecting has been designed among the population of Primary Care physiotherapists in Castilla y León, finally getting the opinions of about 70 % of them. The questionnaire includes 42 questions. A number of them are of a quantitative type, others are ordinal to measure the level of satisfaction in different professional aspects while others are YES/NO questions. Location. The collection of data was made in Zamora, on 28 of May during a break at XIII conference of Primary Care Physiotherapy in Castilla y León. Participants. 72 physiotherapists met at this conference from a total of 92 (78.3 %). 87.5 % of the attendants answered the questionnaire which amounts to 68.5 % of the total number in Castilla y León. Main measurements. The job was focused on the analysis of 5 YES/NO sets (I take part in the meetings, I would like to, I think I have some contributions in the organization, clinical meetings and teaching) relating them to personal data of age, sex, the province where he/she works and the type of centre (urban or rural). Results. Habitual participation of Primary Care physiotherapists in Health Centres meetings is rather low at present (31.03 %) as opposed to a very high proportion of the questioned physiotherapists (93.88 %) who say to be willing to take part in them. Conclusions. The body of physiotherapists participate in very few meetings but the majority of them are motivated to take part in them
