How current risk assessment and risk management methods for drinking water in The Netherlands cover the WHO water safety plan approach

In the Netherlands, safe and sufficient drinking water is provided to the general population by ten drinking water companies. To guarantee safe drinking water the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a Water Safety Plan (WSP), a Risk Assessment and a Risk Management (RA/RM) framework. The objective of the study was to identify legally required RA approaches, to document application of RA/RM activities at Dutch drinking water companies and to determine to what extent these RA/RM activities as a whole cover all the elements of the WHO WSP approach. This study could be of interest to both managers of large water utilities and decision makers.The assessment was performed by means of a policy review and interviews with two to four staff members involved in RA/RM from all ten Dutch drinking water companies combined with a joint workshop. The drinking water companies are well aware of the potential hazards and risks that can influence the drinking water quality. To guarantee the supply of safe and sufficient drinking water, the Dutch drinking water sector uses six different legally required RA/RM approaches. This study shows that by using the six legally required RA/RM approaches, all WSP steps are covered. WSP entails a generic risk assessment for identifying all hazards and hazardous events from source to tap, whereas the six legally required RA/RM each focus on specific risks at an advanced level. Each risk assessment provides information on specific hazards and hazardous events covering a part of the water supply chain. These legal requirements are complemented with additional RA/RM activities at sector and water company level such as codes of practices and standard operating procedures. The outcomes of all RA/RM approaches combined provide information from source to tap. When using multiple RA/RM approaches, it is crucial to share and combine information derived from the different activities.     

经口腔前庭腔镜甲状腺癌根治术的临床实践及与开放性手术比较

目的 经口腔前庭腔镜甲状腺癌根治术的临床实践及与开放性手术进行比较。方法 回顾性收集并比较分析自2019年3月至2019年12月中国科学院大学宁波华美医院甲状腺外科行经口腔前庭腔镜甲状腺切除术和传统开放性甲状腺切除术的甲状腺肿瘤患者各45例临床资料（行经传统开放术式患者样本量较大,随机抽样选择45例）,比较分析两组在性别、年龄、BMI、病理类型,清扫淋巴结数量以及手术时长,术后引流量,术后出现相关并发症,远期预后等指标。结果 两种术式患者术前术后相关临床资料无明显统计学差异,术中指标如出血量,淋巴清扫方面两组亦无统计学差异,但术中手术时间较开放组延长（P<0.05）,手术费用较开放组更多,住院时长较开放组更短。结论 选择合适的患者,行经口腔前庭入路腔镜甲状腺癌根治术安全可行,在美容效果上有优势。     

液晶数字显示角度仪在全髋关节置换术中的应用价值

目的:探讨在全髋关节置换术中使用液晶数字显示角度仪控制前倾角的应用价值。方法:回顾分析自2018年1月至2019年12月83例行初次全髋关节置换术的患者,其中男28例,女55例;年龄42~81(70.4±7.9)岁。股骨颈骨折63例,股骨头缺血性坏死20例。所有患者术中使用液晶数显角度仪控制髋臼杯假体的前倾角,术后采用CT扫描,测量髋臼杯的前倾角,两者进行比较,了解使用液晶数显角度仪的准确性。结果:术后CT测量提示患者的髋臼前倾角均位于Lewinnek提倡的安全区内,术中使用液晶数显角度仪测量髋臼杯的前倾角度中位数为14.20°(12.80~15.40)°,术后CT扫描测量的髋臼杯的前倾角中位数为14.20°(13.40~15.50)°,两者比较差异无统计学意义(Z=-1.725,P=0.085)。结论:应用液晶数显角仪器对术中控制髋臼杯的前倾角是一种准确可靠的方法,具有良好的辅助参考价值。     

Telemedicine for Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Muscular Dystrophy: A multidisciplinary approach to improve quality of life and reduce hospitalization rate?

Background

Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by a variable and asymmetric involvement of facial, trunk, upper and lower extremity muscles. Although respiratory weakness is a relatively unknown feature of FSHD, it is not rare. Telemedicine has been used in a variety of health care fields, but only recently, with the advent of sophisticated technology, its interest among health professionals became evident, even in such diseases.

不同类型下颌骨髁突骨折手术治疗的疗效分析

目的 通过对不同类型下颌骨髁突骨折手术方式选择、术后随访及相关并发症等分析,以期为髁突骨折临床治疗提供一定参考。 方法 收集2014年9月至2016年9月安徽医科大学第一附属医院口腔颌面外科接受治疗的髁突骨折病例22例(共24侧),术中采用耳屏前切口,颌后切口,应用长螺钉,微型钛板固定或直接游离摘除脱位的髁突头,行颞下颌关节重建。术后1个月、3个月、6个月、12个月随访,拍摄X线片或CT,对患者术后愈合情况、开口功能恢复、颞下颌关节及面神经症状等情况进行分析评价。结果(1)22例患者经手术治疗后,面部对称性、咬合功能及解剖结构稳定性均较术前有明显改善;(2)患者术前平均张口度(18.1±3.31) mm,术后复查张口度(37.4±2.89) mm,改善明显,差异有统计学意义(t=-20.16,P＜0.001);(3)5例患者术后出现面神经损伤症状,其中高位骨折出现1例颧支功能障碍;中位骨折3例(颧支2例,颊支+颧支1例);低位骨折1例,为下颌缘支;5例患者面神经损伤均为暂时性,通过口服药物,3个月内面神经功能均得到恢复。结论针对不同髁突骨折类型选择合适的手术方式能够获得良好的效果。
