1Hygiene as a science. Prophylactic direction of
medicine. Methods of hygienic researches.
Hygienic role of climate and weather,
peculiarities of their influence to the health of
people.
2 Hygiene is a science about preservation and
strengthening of public and individual health by
realization of preventive actions. There are two
ways to improve health of people -Protection
and improvement of an environment- Preservation
and increasing of resistibility of an organism.
3The experience of modern medicine tests that
- the professional competence of a doctor is formed
by two kinds of medical knowledge and two basic
methods of medical activity. The first kind of
knowledge is prophylaxis of illnesses,
preservation and improvement of population
health. The second trend is treatment of
diseases. The knowledge of hygiene allows a
doctor of any specialty (therapeutist,
pediatrician, surgeon, stomatologist) to
implement correctly preventive measures, to
increase health of population.
4Among many diseases the following are allocated,
first of all
- Occupational diseases and poisonings caused by
pathogenic influence of conditions and factors of
work - Illnesses connected with irrational nutrition
(avitaminosis, obesity, etc.), with the use of
substandard food (food poisonings, infections,
etc.) - Diseases connected with the use of drinking
water, not adequate to hygienic requirements on
chemical and bacterial structure
5(Con)
- Illnesses arising from influence of radionuclides
due to wrong organization of work with
radioactive substances or pollution of the
environment with them - The diseases of children and teenagers
(underweight, disorders of locomotive system,
etc.), caused by unfavorable conditions of
training and education - (to be continued)
6con
- Illnesses of respiratory tract as a result of
intensive pollution of atmospheric air - Infectious and parasite illnesses, occurring and
spreading due to sanitary conditions of the
environment - Illnesses connected with influence of unfavorable
hygienic conditions of dwelling.
7- Beside that there is a large group of
ecologically caused diseases allergy, malignant
tumors, genetic and reproductive disorders, etc.
8The main sections of Hygiene
- Communal (municipal) Hygiene
- Hygiene of Nutrition
- Occupational Hygiene
- Military Hygiene
- Hygiene of Children and Adolescents
- Psychohygiene
- Personal Hygiene
- Hygiene of Medical institutions
9Etymology of the word Hygiene
- Hygiene is a branch of medicine, which studies
the influence of factors of the environment,
living and working conditions on the population's
health, creates hygienic norms and rules to
preserve health, to increase working capacity and
life span.
10Sanitation
- Sanitation is a practical appliance of hygiene in
our life. Sanitary-Epidemiolo- gical Station is
a service (governmental institution) which
controls if hygienic norms are in use in our
daily activity.
11Etymology
- The word "Hygiene" comes from the Greek word
"Hygieinos", it means carrying health. According
to Greek mythology God of medicine
12History
- Aesculapius had two daughters. The elder daughter
was named Panacea. She initiated the therapeutic
trend in medicine. The junior daughter was called
Hygeia. She promoted prophylactic trend of
medicine. The ancients honored Hygeia as Goddess
of health. The well-known English scientist E.A.
Park speaking of hygiene said "The main task of
this science consists in making the human
development the most perfective one, but a decay
of his life the slowest one and his death the
most remote one".
13Nykolay I. Pyrogov said
- I believe in Hygiene. The future of medicine
belongs to prophylaxis, its a real progress of
medical science. - Therapeutic medicine is a science about etiology,
pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment of
diseases. Hygiene is a science about health of
healthy people. Because of this, there are two
types of doctors attending doctors
(therapeutists, surgeons, neurologists,
obstetricians etc.) and doctors-hygienists, i.e.
doctors who are engaged in prophylaxis.
14- obstetrics (functioning as sing.) the
branch of medicine concerned with childbirth and
the treatment of women before and after
childbirth - sanatorium or sanitarium , -riums or -ria
1) an institution for the medical care and
recuperation of persons who are chronically ill
2) a health resort 3) a room in a boarding school
where sick pupils may be treated in isolation
Etymology from New Latin, from Latin sanare to
heal
15There are also two kinds of medical
establishments
- therapeutic ones (polyclinics, hospitals,
clinics, therapeutic dispensaries) and
prophylactic ones (sanitary-epidemiologic
stations, sanatoriums and preventoriums,
prophylactic dispensaries).
16Kinds of prophylaxis are
- Primary prophylaxis
- Secondary prophylaxis
- Tertiary prophylaxis
17Primary prophylaxis
- Is carried out individually among healthy
people. Its aim is to prevent the disease. This
is the highest form of prophylaxis. It includes
hygienic and special measures.
18Hygienic measures
- mean a healthy way of living and carrying out
prophylactic inoculations (specific prophylaxis).
19Special measures
- are carried out by doctors, who are experts in
their own field, with the purpose of prevention
of some kinds of disease.
20Secondary prophylaxis
- is carried out among persons, who are falling
ill, on the individual base. Its aim is to
prevent the relapses, complications and
transition from acute state to chronic form of
disease. - N.B. An acute disease is easier to treat than a
chronic one.
21The categories of chronic disease are
- 1) illnesses without symptoms
- 2) chronic illnesses, which are growing
progressively worse - 3) invalidating chronic illnesses
- 4) incurable hereditary diseases
22Water as a factor of health. Hygienic
significance of water. Requirements toquality
of drinking water. Hygiene of water supply.
Methods of water quality improvement.
23Main functions of water
- Physiological
- - for assimilation, dissimilation, resorption,
elimination, and thermoregulation - - solvent for nutritious substances
- - as plastic material
- Sanitary
- Household
24Main functions of water (con)
- Industrial, agricultural
- Health-improving
- Recreational
25Physiological significance of water
- Fatty tissue consists of 30 of water.
- White matter of brain and liver contains 70 of
water, - skin about 72, muscles - 76.
- About 79 of water is in heart and 83 in
kidneys. Grey matter of brain contains 86 of
water and eyes - 90.
26Physiological significance of water
- Blood and lymph are water solutions of complex
chemical compound. - The human body consists of 65 - 70 of water on
an average.
27Kinds of water supply
- Decentralized or local
- Centralized or water pipe (hot and cold running
water, tap water)
28Water hygienic requirements
- Water should have perfect organoleptic and
physical qualities - Water should have optimal chemical composition
- Water should not decrease biological value of
food - Water should not be hard
- Water should not include radiological and toxic
substances (no higher than maximum concentration
limit) - Water should not include pathogenic germs.

- As a result of high water hardness (urolithiasis,
nephrolithiasis, podagra) or low water hardness
(cardio-vascular diseases, osteoporosis) - As a result of high quantity of nitrogenated
compounds (hydro-nitrate (well-water)
methemoglobinemia) - biogeochemical endemia (caries, fluorosis,
endemic goitre, molybdenic arthritis, Kashin-Bek
disease (strontium endemic osteoarthritis), boric
enteritis) - Presence of toxic chemical substances ("ungulate
disease" (As), lead poisoning (Pb pipes),
Minomata disease (Hg), Cd poisoning)
31Zones of sanitary maintenance
- The zone of sanitary maintenance of water supply
source is specific territory concerned with
waterworks intake - 1. Clozed zone - includes area of water source
and main waterworks intakes. This zone is
enclosed and supervised - 2. Restricted zone includes area of water source
up and down stream (some kilometers) - 3. Observational zone (tens km)

35Hygiene of labour - is a branch
- of prophylactic medicine that studies conditions
and character of the work, their influence on the
health and functional state of the human it
develops scientific basis of hygienic regulation
of factors of working environment and production.
36Classification of harmful occupational factors
- Physical factors
- Chemical factors
- Biological factors
- Not correct organisation of work (too intensive
work, absence of breaks in work ) - Bad sanitary conditions of work (bad ventilation,
bad lighting, absence of toilet, absence of hot
and cold water)
37Physical factors
- microclimate (temperature, humidity, air
movement, temperature radiation) - nonionizing radiation (electrostatic field,
permanent magnetic field, electric and magnetic
fields of industrial frequency (50 hertz),
ionizing radiation
38Physical factors
- industrial noise, ultrasound, infrasound
- vibration (local, general)
- lighting (natural artificial insufficient,
direct and reflected shine, fluctuation of
lighting).
39Chemical factors
- substances of chemical origin,
- substances of biological character that were
obtained due to chemical synthesis, - substances that should be controlled due to
chemical analysis.
40Biological factors
- micro-organisms - producers, viruses, and
spores, pathogens.
41- protozoan , -zoa or -zoans 1) Also called
protozoon -zoa any of various minute
unicellular organisms formerly regarded as
invertebrates of the phylum Protozoa but now
usually classified in certain phyla of
protoctists. Protozoans include flagellates,
ciliates, sporozoans, amoebas, and foraminifers
also protozoic 2) of or relating to protozoans
42Hygienic norms of working conditions
- (maximum permissible concentration, maximum
permissible level, etc) are the levels of
harmful working factors which cannot cause
diseases or disturbance in health, which can be
indicated by modern research methods, during the
work or remote life periods of the present and
subsequent generations. The norms are measured
for daily work (except days off) during 8 hours,
but not more than 40 per week.
43The act of Ministry of Health of Ukraine ?528 on
27.12.2001 introduced
- The Hygienic CLASSIFICATION OF WORK ACCORDING THE
HARMFULNESS AND DANGER OF FACTORS OF WORKING
ENVIRONMENT, PRODUCTIVE HARDNESS AND TENSION
44 List of the main occupational diseases
Psycho-emotional factors (psycho-emotional stress at working place) Work with mentally ill people Psychoneuroses, depression, neuroasthenia Psychoneuroses, traumas.
45Kinds of prophylaxis
- Prevention (prophylaxis) of the occupational
pathology is the system of state, medical and
public measures aimed at improvement and
preservation of the workers health at industrial
or agricultural enterprises. - Primary (initial) prophylaxis includes
prevention of diseases, influence on the factors
that cause illness and risk factors that
stimulate it. - Repeated (secondary) prophylaxis aims at
prevention of development and aggravation of the
disease, elimination of negative influence of the
environmental factors and systematic treatment of
the patient.
46Tertiary prophylaxis
- includes medicoprophylactic technologies aimed
at removing negative consequences of the disease
(relapses, complications, temporary and permanent
disability, death). Also this kind of prophylaxis
contemplates improvement of patients life
quality (prosthetics, removing of pain syndrome
47The list of professions that require medical
examinations of the workers
- The workers of all professions who are under 21
years old. - The workers of all professions who work being
influenced by harmful substances and negative
working factors. - The workers of all professions who work
underground. - The workers of all professions who work at
hydrometeorological stations, communication
services located in polar, mountainous, arid
(desert) regions or other back or uninhabited
lands, in difficult climatic conditions. -
48The list of professions that require medical
examinations of the workers
- The workers of all professions who work at high
altitude. - The workers who work at electrical installations
with the voltage more than 1000 V. - The workers of all professions who work in the
forestry and timber enterprises. - Machine operators who deal with the devices under
pressure.
49The list of professions that requires medical
examination of the workers
- Boiler plant workers
- Workers who deal with explosive substances or
who work at highly explosive or fire-hazardous
enterprises - Work with machinery
- Work connected with means of transport.
50Pediatric hygiene
- Pediatric hygiene is the main prophylactic
science that researches the influence of factors
of environment, academic (studying) and upbrining
conditions on childrens health. - An object under study is childrens organism from
the birth to the end of period of growth.
51Pediatric hygiene (cont.)
- Birth-rate, natural increase of population are
very important indices of health of population. - The child is not a little adult and has many
morphological and physiological peculiarities. - The organism of children and teenagers is
characterized by 2 processes growth and
development.
52Growth development
- Growth is a quantitative characteristic of
children, whereas development is a qualitative
one. These processes are interdependent one with
the other.
53Diseases of schoolchildren
- As a result of studying stress, exacerbation of
chronic illness diseases of ears, throat, and
nose, acute illness of upper respiratory organs
are typical for pupils. From 50 up to 90 of
pupils have dental caries.
54Â Morbidity rate per 1000 population of
corresponding age
55Morbidity of schoolchildren
- Hypodynamia of children and irrational nutrition
results in extra-weight of children and
teenagers. Children of our generation are sitting
all the way in schools (5-7 lessons) and spending
2-4 hours preparing their homework, let alone 3-5
hours watching TV. That is why physical activity
and rational nutrition are very significant
factors for prophylaxis of extra-weight.
56Physiometric method
- Vital volume of lungs is measured by means of
water or air spirometers (lung tester). The child
takes his maximum breath and exhales slowly in
the mouthpiece of spirometer, exhalation through
the nose is to be eliminated. After 2-3
measurements the largest result is taken into
account. Muscular force of hands and trunk is
determined by dynamometers.
57Somatoscopic method
- Skeleton is subdivided into thin (narrow
shoulders and thorax, hands an feet of small
size) stocky (broad skeleton, wide shoulders and
hands is evaluate more than an average one), and
middle (intermediate between thin and stocky.
Forms of the thorax are divided into cylindrical,
conical, plane.
58Somatoscopic method
- The posture its a natural pose of freely
standing man (or child). Posture can be correct
or incorrect. Incorrect posture might be
lordotic, kyphotic, straightened, round
shouldered.
59Kinds of posture
- Lordotic posture is characterized by extremely
expressed lower back lordosis and decrease of
cervical flexure. In case of lordotic posture
head and shoulders a throw back while abdomen -
forward. When the posture is round - shoulders
the cervical flexure is extremely expressed and
lumbar flexure is smoothed. Shoulders dropped,
abdomen - forward. In kyphotic posture both
flexures (cervical and lumbar flexures) are
extremely expressed and at straightened posture
they are smoothed.
60How to assess physical development?
- Method of "Sigmal deviations". Estimation of
physical development children and teenagers by
means of "Sigmal deviations" method is carried ?n
separately height, weight and other indices.
First the material is reviewed and classified by
age, sex, nationality, health condition, etc.
61Method of " Regression scale"
- Method of " Regression scale" by stature. This
method takes into account correlation between
stature, weight and circumference of thorax i.e.
it allows to get combined estimation of physical
development according totality of signs and their
interdependence.
62Complex method of estimation of physical
development
- This method is based on the method of
"Regression scale" and takes into account number
of teeth, level of sexual development, annual
additions in stature, and others. - In accordance with this method of physical
development estimation, all children and
teenagers are divided into 3 groups.
63Groups of physical development
- The first group includes children whose
biological age corresponds to their passport age.
The second group includes all children whose
biological age overtakes passport one. Children
whose biological age is below passport one are
classifyed as the third group of physical
development.
64Methods of hygienic estimation of functional
readiness of children for education at school.
- Express-evaluation (screening test) of functional
readiness of children for education at school
(test by Kern-Eraesek) - The deep (profound) psychophysiological study of
the higher nervous activity of the child. - Test by Kern-Erasek consists of three tasks
- - Drawing a man
- - Copying a short phrase of 3-4 words
- - Copying a group of dots.
65Test by Kern-Erasek
- In the first task the child should draw a man
without any instructions in the second task he
should copy a short phrase from the sample, e.g.
He ate the soup, She drank milk in the
third the child looks at the sample for 1
minute and then tries to remember the number and
location of dots and copy them into his paper.
66The criteria of general estimation
- Up to 5 points high functional readiness of
children for education at school - 6-10 points medium functional readiness of
children for education at school - More than 11 points low functional readiness of
children for education at school.

76Urbanization and population health. Hygienic
significance of accommodation
77- Different forms of urbanization can be classified
depending on the style of architecture and
planning methods as well as historic growth of
areas.
78- In cities of the developed world urbanization
traditionally exhibited a concentration of human
activities and settlements around the downtown
area, the so-called in-migration. In-migration
refers to migration from former colonies and
similar places.
79- Recent developments, such as inner-city
redevelopment schemes, mean that new arrivals in
cities no longer necessarily settle in the
centre. In some developed regions, the reverse
effect, originally called counter urbanisation
has occurred, with cities losing population to
rural areas, and is particularly common for
richer families.
80- inner city a) the parts of a city in or near its
centre, esp when they are associated with
poverty, unemployment, substandard housing, etc
b) (as modifier) inner-city schools inner city

82- Private car circulation has been restricted in
some cities in South America and Europe in
attempts to reduce harmful levels of air
pollution. Worldwide, more than 1Â 000 million
urban residents are exposed to health-threatening
levels of air pollution (Schwele 1995).
83- Urbanisation is most rapid in Third World
countries, where the world's largest cities
occur. Mexico City, the world's largest city, has
a population of more than 18 million, estimated
to grow to over 26 million people by the year
2000.
84- Unplanned rapid urbanisation has been identified
as a health hazard in southern Africa, leading to
conditions that spread serious diseases. These
diseases stem from environmental problems such as
contaminated water, poor sanitation,
smoke-polluted indoor air and exposure to
mosquitoes, along with other examples of crowded
living conditions.

86Environment pollution
- Chemicals used in both primary sectors are major
factors in causing and worsening tuberculosis,
bronchitis, heart disease, cancer and asthma.
Increased exposure to chemical health risks in
urban areas is particularly harmful to children
and pregnant women.
87Air pollution
- The quality of air is also affected by the
industrialisation that occurs with urbanisation.
Air pollution levels are neither monitored nor
controlled in most cities in Africa, but while
air pollution is still low compared with other
areas,
88- The main sources of air pollution are found in
urban areas and major developments such as mines
and industries. Burning of fuelwood, fires,
exhaust fumes from vehicles and the use of coal
in factories cause air pollution,
89- Urban demand for water in Latin America is likely
to rise fivefold during the next four decades
(WRI, UNEP and UNDP 1994).
90- In Western Europe (EEA 1998) and North America
(WRI, UNEP, UNDP and WB 1996), in contrast with
most other regions, there is a move out of large
cities into suburbs and smaller urban centres.
91Conclusion
- Recent trends in urbanization reflect economic
and political changes. Within the context of the
structural changes in the world economy, some
regions and cities have proved more flexible than
nations in adapting to changing economic
conditions.
