Perz ([parallel]) Keywords: long-term care; hepatitis B virus; blood glucose monitoring; diabetes; infection control Abstract: OBJECTIVES: To evaluate and characterize routine blood glucose monitoring practices in nursing homes and assisted living facilities (ALFs). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, self administered survey and facility site visit. SETTING: Two hundred eighty-nine licensed long-term care facilities in Pinellas County, Florida. PARTICIPANTS: Stratified random sample of 48 long-term care facilities (17% overall sample). MEASUREMENTS: Data on facility characteristics, infection control policies, staff practices, and equipment used for blood glucose monitoring. Differences between facilities in each stratum were compared and evaluated using the Pearson chi-square or Fisher exact test. RESULTS: Fifteen nursing homes and 17 small and 16 large ALFs participated; 53 declined (48% participation rate). Bloodborne pathogen training (P=.02), hepatitis B vaccination (P=.003), and blood glucose monitoring (P CONCLUSION: Despite existing recommendations, practices that facilitate bloodborne pathogen transmission during blood glucose monitoring were identified at nursing homes and ALFs. Infection control practices and polices were most often lacking at ALFs. Better training and oversight of blood glucose monitoring in long-term care is needed to prevent transmission of bloodborne pathogens.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical ubiquitous in the serum of U.S. residents. It causes liver, testicular, and pancreatic tumors in rats. Human studies are sparse. OBJECTIVE: We examined cancer incidence in Mid-Ohio Valley residents exposed to PFOA in drinking water due to chemical plant emissions. METHODS: The cohort consisted of adult community residents who resided in contaminated water districts or worked at a local chemical plant. Most participated in a 2005-2006 baseline survey in which serum PFOA was measured. We interviewed the cohort in 2008-2011 to obtain further medical history. Retrospective yearly PFOA serum concentrations were estimated for each participant from 1952 through 2011. Self-reported cancers were validated through medical records and cancer registry review. We estimated the association between cancer and cumulative PFOA serum concentration using proportional hazards models. RESULTS: Participants (n = 32,254) reported 2,507 validated cancers (21 different cancer types). Estimated cumulative serum PFOA concentrations were positively associated with kidney and testicular cancer [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.10; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.24 and HR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.00, 1.79, respectively, for 1-unit increases in ln-transformed serum PFOA]. Categorical analyses also indicated positive trends with increasing exposures for both cancers: for kidney cancer HRs for increasing exposure quartiles were 1.0, 1.23, 1.48, and 1.58 (linear trend test p = 0.18) and for testicular cancer, HRs were 1.0, 1.04, 1.91, 3.17 (linear trend test p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: PFOA exposure was associated with kidney and testicular cancer in this population. Because this is largely a survivor cohort, findings must be interpreted with caution, especially for highly fatal cancers such as pancreatic and lung cancer., Introduction Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, or C8) is a synthetic chemical used since the late 1940s in manufacturing industrial and household products (Steenland et al. 2010). It is persistent in the [...]

Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the relationship between two sedentary behaviors (riding in a car and watching TV) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in men in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. The findings suggested that health promotion efforts targeting physically inactive men should emphasize both reducing sedentary activity and increasing regular physical activity for optimal cardiovascular health.
