Full textAbstract:
This article presents an approach to analysis of women’s hygiene and beauty practices in the traditional Ukrainian society. As a key message, the article discusses female hygiene and body care as a historically determined, complex process, affected by popular beliefs stemming from people’s living, natural and, more specifically, climatic conditions. The author presents the rules of society, especially taboos, which influenced women’s hygiene as a special practice. Hence hygiene, body care and beauty standards are recognized as a function of specific social and cultural norms established for woman’s body. In addition, the notion of bodily health, hygiene and beauty was most closely tied to the popular view of «proper» and «improper» days for body care. For instance, ritualistic washing of the body was mandatory on the eve of major calendar holidays, especially Christmas and Easter, however, bathing, washing or sprinkling, practiced during these periods, had as its object rather some sacred than any hygienic purpose. Accordingly, on the days of traditional Christian fasting (Wednesdays and Fridays), it was forbidden to bathe, the same goes for Sundays and the time during certain calendar periods: on the eve of Whit Sunday festivities, Midsummer Night, also after Elijah’s Day or the Feast of Transfiguration. The emphasis was put on hygiene, standards of beauty, care, etc. as a construct of cultural and social norms, where the age and marital status of women would be of great importance. As woman grew older, she had to become more inconspicuous: excessive primping, self-care, and adorning were strongly condemned by the society of that time. Thus, it appears that all hygienic procedures of body and hair care were under the scrutiny of society, with imposition of a significant number of taboos, restrictions and precautions. Women had to follow all those precepts because otherwise they would be accused of violating sacred traditions.

Full textAbstract:
Personal hygiene is an independent self-care activity, including maintaining the cleanliness of body parts consisting of hair, clean eyes, nose, mouth, teeth and skin. Self-care deficit is a situation where a person experiences a lack of technological level to carry out individual personal hygiene activities including bathing, hygiene and defecation (Abdul, 2015). According to Orem, lack of self-care is an individual's inability to carry out personal hygiene adequately, so several systems are needed that can help clients meet their self-care needs (Erlando, 2019).

Full textAbstract:
Pubic hair grooming is a growing phenomenon and is associated with body image and sexual activity. A nationally representative survey of noninstitutionalized adults aged 18 to 65 years residing in the United States was conducted. Differences in demographic and sexual characteristics between groomers and nongroomers were explored. Four thousand one hundred and ninety-eight men completed the survey. Of these men, 2,120 (50.5%) reported regular pubic hair grooming. The prevalence of grooming decreases with age, odds ratio = 0.95 (95% confidence interval [0.94, 0.96]), p < .001. Adjusting for sexual frequency and sexual orientation, grooming is associated with performing and receiving oral sex. The majority of men report grooming in preparation for sexual activity with a peak prevalence of 73% among men aged 25 to 34 years, followed by hygiene (61%) and routine care (44%). The majority of men who remove their pubic hair groom the hair above the penis (87%), followed by the scrotum (66%) and the penile shaft (57%). Overall, pubic hair grooming is common among men aged 18 to 65 years in the United States. Younger ages are associated with greater rates of pubic hair grooming. Many men groom for sex, in particular oral sex, as well as for routine care and hygiene.

Introduction: The history of hair care begins along with the history of civilizations. Cosmetics were found in burial chambers in Egypt, and there are also the first reports of the use of hair shaving for hygiene reasons, especially by priests. Taking care of your hair, especially scalp conditions and problems associated with hair loss, over the centuries is something that involves countless approaches, some of which are strange and curious. Highlights include the ash from burnt frogs, bee ash with oil, dog urine, goat manure with oil, among many others. Over time, potions, tonics and drinks for medicinal purposes evolved. This article presents a comparison between the inspiring ideas that came from the transition from the 19th to the 20th century with those that emerged from the transition from the 20th to the 21st century. Material and Methods: The method employed for the preparation of this article was a literature review and research on products and advertisements from the past to carry out a comparison between the methods used to treat hair in two historical moments. Results and Discussions: When comparing products and equipment from two different historical moments, separated by approximately one hundred years, we can see the evolution of hair care, scientific advancement, and the inspiration of many current treatments in concepts from the past.

Full textAbstract:
The vulva and vagina are a unique anatomical region, which anatomy and physiology changes throughout a woman's life. The most noticeable changes are hormone-mediated and are associated with the onset of puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. The microbiome changes over time due to various factors, such as hormones, which leads to a change in pH. Various hygiene practices and habits also have a huge impact on the microflora of the vulva and vagina, and therefore on a woman’s health. Today, the market offers a huge number of care and hygiene products designed for the genital area of women. But, unfortunately, information about their correct use and safety of use is limited. For example, various health behaviours, such as vaginal douching and pubic hair removal are still widely used, although there is some evidence of their negative impacts on the health of the vulva and vagina. Despite the abundance of specialized intimate hygiene products, the use of general care products that are not intended for the genital area and therefore can cause irritation, itching and other unpleasant effects is reported. Foreign guidelines for intimate female hygiene practices resolve itself to recommendations of daily vulva cleansing with a gentle hypoallergenic liquid wash. There is a need to increase women's awareness about rational choice of feminine hygiene products and disorders of the vulva and vagina to improve their intimate health.

Full textAbstract:
The Lianshi奩史 (History of the Toiletry Box) is a copious work about women’s personal hygiene articles, compiled by Wang Chutong (1729-1821). The personal hygiene articles can be broadly divided into the following categories: articles for hand washing, dental care, hair grooming, going to the restroom, bathing, perfuming, and protection from evils. These items are living fossils of the premodern material culture and a testimony to the fusion of Chinese culture and Western culture. They reflected perception of health care at the time and are useful references for modern perception on preventive care. If viewed from a gendered perspective, these items are also objects used for “training” women. In analyzing the text of Lianshi and archeological discoveries, paintings, and murals, this paper reconstructs how women in premodern China cultivated and practiced their personal hygiene.

Fungal infections of hair, nail, and skin are common worldwide and tend to increase. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of dermatomycoses, estimate the efficiency of rapid potassium hydroxide (KOH) wet-mount, and observe the hygienic status and the predisposing risk factors. Altogether 115 samples (nail = 77, skin = 30, and hair = 8) were obtained in a duration of December 2019 to June 2020 at Grande International Hospital, Nepal. The samples were examined by KOH wet-mount microscopy and further processed for culture. The dermatophyte test medium (DTM) was used to isolate dermatophytes separately. The fungal colonies obtained in SDA, SDA with cycloheximide/chloramphenicol and dermatophyte medium were subjected to lactophenol cotton blue (LPCB) reagent to study fungal morphology. The yeast colonies grown on SDA were subjected to Gram staining, germ-tube tests, and biochemical tests for identification. CHROMagar was used to distinguish different Candida species based on its pigment production in the medium. Various factors (age, sex, occupation, and hygiene condition) were analyzed which were associated with mycological infection. Out of 115 samples, the presence of fungal elements was detected in 20 samples by KOH. Nondermatophyte molds were the most isolated fungus in nails, skin, and hair, followed by yeast and dermatophytes, respectively. Dermatomycosis molds were the most common causative agents with 22 (14.7%) cases, followed by yeasts with 6 (5.21%) cases. Candida albicans was isolated from 5 (4.3%) cases, whereas Rhodotorula species accounted for a single (0.8%) case. Dermatophytes were isolated from 5 (4.3%) cases. Among them, n = 4(3.4%) cases revealed Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes was isolated from single (0.8%) case. The most isolated nondermatophyte mold that follows criteria as a pathogen in our study was Cladosporium species 6 (25%) out of 27 total fungal isolates. Poor hygiene and sweating were found to be statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ) in fungal cases detected by both KOH and culture. Dermatophytes and nondermatophyte fungi were emerging as important causes of fungal infection. Both direct microscopy and culture followed by LPCB together were vital tools for the diagnosis of fungal infections.

Head lice, dandruff and other scalp diseases are still one of the main problems of the students at the Nurul Qarnain boarding school. Factors that influence the development of disease are poor personal hygiene due to the students' lack of understanding of this disease. Anti-dandruff shampoo, is expensive and is insufficient to treat head lice problem among students. Furthermore, the absence of professional barbers in the boarding school environment is also one of the factors that triggered this problem. The results of this activity are increased knowledge of students about hair health from 58.8% to 98.24% and the ability and skills of students to make anti-dandruff shampoo and hair cutting. This is expected to increase awareness and ability to care for hair and provide added value to the economy.

IntroductionHealthcare-associated infection caused by insufficient hygiene is associated with mortality, economic burden, and suffering for the patient. Emergency medical service (EMS) providers encounter many patients in different surroundings and are thus at risk of posing a source of microbial transmission. Hand hygiene (HH), a proven infection control intervention, has rarely been studied in the EMS.MethodsA multicentre prospective observational study was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 in ambulance services from Finland, Sweden, Australia and Denmark. Two observers recorded the following parameters: HH compliance according to WHO guidelines (before patient contact, before clean/aseptic procedures, after risk of body fluids, after patient contact and after contact with patient surroundings). Glove use and basic parameters such as nails, hair and use of jewellery were also recorded.ResultsSixty hours of observation occurred in each country, for a total of 87 patient encounters. In total, there were 1344 indications for HH. Use of hand rub or hand wash was observed: before patient contact, 3%; before clean/aseptic procedures, 2%; after the risk of body fluids, 8%; after patient contact, 29%; and after contact with patient-related surroundings, 38%. Gloves were worn in 54% of all HH indications. Adherence to short or up done hair, short, clean nails without polish and no jewellery was 99%, 84% and 62%, respectively. HH compliance was associated with wearing gloves (OR 45; 95% CI 10.8 to 187.8; p=0.000) and provider level (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.1 to 2.4; p=0.007), but not associated with gender (OR 1.3; 95% CI 0.9 to 1.9; p=0.107).ConclusionHH compliance among EMS providers was remarkably low, with higher compliance after patient contacts compared with before patient contacts, and an over-reliance on gloves. We recommend further research on contextual challenges and hygiene perceptions among EMS providers to clarify future improvement strategies.

Background: Previous public health research has demonstrated that barbershop services in Sub-Saharan Africa involve close-shaving styles that may irritate the skin or cause injuries particularly among clients with razor bumps. Barbershop services may also facilitate client-to-client transmission of pathogens because they involve reuse of sharp implements (e.g., clippers) and other tools (e.g., brushes, towels and combs). The above concerns are compounded by limited access to adequate sanitization products in reasonably-priced barbershops. Focus of the Article: The goal of this formative research was therefore to identify and assess the structure of hygiene and hair care beliefs to be targeted by a social marketing intervention by integrating elements of the marketing mix and fundamental assumptions of the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model. Research Questions: To elicit hygiene and hair care beliefs, respondents were asked to state up to 9 beliefs specific to hygiene and safety information, perceived consequences of raising hygiene and safety concerns in barbershops (motivational beliefs) and efficacy skills in practicing hygiene and safety behaviors. To assess structural adequacy of the proposed IMB model, beliefs underlying information and motivation were hypothesized to be positively associated with beliefs underlying hygiene and safety negotiation skills as well as frequency of close-shave practices. To determine whether parameters of IMB model might differ across rural and urban settings, the following research question was considered: do individual paths and mediating mechanisms operate differently across rural and urban IMB models? Importance to the Social Marketing Field: This research provides empirical evidence for the integration of social marketing principles within the IMB framework and the potential of such integration in developing formative propositions for social marketing interventions in low-income contexts. Methods: This research was conducted in two phases. In phase one, data from a semi-structured survey ( N = 65) were analyzed to identify modal salient beliefs and set up subsequent survey research. Phase two consisted in collecting cross-sectional survey data ( N = 622) and using exploratory and structural equation modeling to assess the proposed model. Results: Together, identified beliefs and statically significant associations between IMB variables suggest that barbershop clients experience ambivalence toward risks associated with barbershop use, the relative benefits of alternative behaviors (e.g., use of personal shaving kits) and what it would cost them to receive the benefits. Recommendations for Research or Practice: Results in this study call attention to various ways in which the marketing mix can be used—to not only provide ecologically relevant information and increase motivation but also sell the benefits of hygienic barbershop use, offset prices of safer practices and draw attention of policy makers. There was no evidence of moderated mediation or moderation across individual paths to support significant differences between respondents in urban and rural settings, suggesting that a single-group model can be used to design interventions in both settings. Limitations: Future research should pre-test specific intervention features to identify audience reactions to preliminary propositions discussed in the current study.

Despite significant progress in improving and standardizing acne therapy, dermatovenerologists and cosmetologists face cases of exacerbation of this dermatosis in daily practice, even with strict adherence to clinical protocols and competent management of patients in the inter-relapse period. It is obvious that the initial link in the pathophysiology of acne as a disease of the sebaceous- hair complex has not been fully established. The need to search for the primary link in the pathogenesis of acne is due to an increase in the incidence of this dermatosis. Despite there is comprehensive education of adolescents on skin hygiene, a significant increase in the number of subscribers to various popular scientific forums on acne, and also an increase in the number of products for the care of problematic skin with blackheads. Purpose. To analyze long-term studies on the physiology of sebaceous glands and hair follicles on the face and to substantiate the hypothesis of the appearance of comedones (open comedones) as an evolutionary mechanism aimed at reducing the excess number of androgen-dependent hair follicles.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Hair health is a multifaceted aspect of human well-being, encompassing various physiological, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Numerous factors, including family history (heredity), hormonal changes during and after pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid disorder, are known to contribute to hair illnesses in contemporary medicine. Owing to the limitations and adverse effects of modern treatment, some hopeful out-comes from Ayurveda are anticipated. According to the Ayurvedic view, disturbance of Trisdosa (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) is the main reason for common hair diseases, i.e. Aakal-Palitya, Khalitya and Darunaka with its curative and preventive methods like Pathya-Apathya, Nasya, Murdha taila, Lepa, etc. Ayurveda has a lot of potential in treating these illnesses. Aim: This abstract aim to elucidate the significance of holistic approaches in Ayurveda for promoting hair health, outlining the essential practices, routines, and lifestyle adjustments recom-mended for individuals to achieve vibrant and resilient hair. Methodology: To gather information on Ayurvedic perspectives on hair health, a comprehensive review of clas-sical Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, and Bhavprakash, as well as contemporary literature and clinical studies, was conducted. Discussion: Ayurveda considers hair health as a reflection of overall well-being, influenced by the balance of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the proper functioning of bodily tissues (Dhatus) and metabolic processes (Agnis). Daily regimens for hair care en-compass a range of practices tailored to individual constitutions and hair types. These may include oil massage (Abhyanga) of the scalp and hair with herbal oils, gentle cleansing using natural cleansers, such as herbal pow-ders (Shikakai, Reetha), maintaining scalp hygiene, nourishing the scalp, strengthening hair roots, preventing premature greying, treat conditions such as hair loss, dandruff, and scalp infections and following dietary and lifestyle guidelines conducive to hair health. Abhyanga (Massage) improves blood circulation, increasing nutri-ents to the hair roots and scalp. Conclusion: Ayurveda offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to hair health, addressing hair disorders’ symptoms and root causes. By restoring doshic balance, optimizing digestion, and nourishing hair follicles with natural remedies, i.e. Daily regimens, wholesome diet, Rasayana, Panchakar-ma, and Yogic practices, Ayurvedic interventions aim to promote long-term hair vitality and overall well-being.

Full textAbstract:
As in Amsterdam [1], the impetus for UK guidelines for hygienic tattooing came from an outbreak of hepatitis B caused in 1978 by a tattooist. The outbreak resulted in 30 primary and three secondary cases [2]. Guidelines for hygienic tattooing followed soon after, and were taken up, fairly enthusiastically on the whole, by the tattooists. These were expanded in 1982 to include acupuncture, ear-piercing and hair electrolysis. Laws to control the hygiene of these practitioners were introduced at the same time {Local Government Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1982 [amended 2003] and the Greater London Council [General Powers] Act 1982}. Body piercing was hardly heard of at the time: although it was undoubtedly and somewhat furtively practised, it was not as popular or as open as it is now. Guidelines for beauty therapy, hygienic hairdressing and micropigmentation followed.

Mental disorders are one of the health problems that arise due to changes in the ability to think or behave due to disturbances in a person's psychological, biological, social, genetic and physical functions. The method we use is by conducting outreach. To increase understanding and the role of families in carrying out hygiene care, it is necessary to increase education in the form of counseling about strategies and tactics for maintaining cleanliness and appearance for family members who experience mental disorders. The aim of this outreach activity is to provide understanding as well as train families in carrying out care and teach patients to carry out daily activities and exercises such as: bathing, dressing, combing hair, cutting nails and washing hands independently.

Full textAbstract:
The biggest challenge in the world of health today that is still of concern to the world is the increasing cases of mental disorders in children and other vulnerable communities, especially teenagers and adults. This is due to several factors, including a family history of mental disorders, promiscuity, parenting patterns, and unpleasant experiences. Using Dorotheo Orem's self-care hypothesis method, contextual investigation aims to determine a picture of nursing care through contextual analysis of caring for one's own deficits. Contextual inquiry is a type of exam setting. Three clients are used in this example: This client has deficits related to self-care. The problem identified was a lack of self-care. The tasks given are self-care and self-administration. The patient looked dirty, had unkempt hair, yellow teeth, dental caries, had an unpleasant odour, and had long and dirty nails before receiving treatment. After receiving the third nursing care, patients are given the opportunity to maintain personal hygiene, care for themselves, and represent themselves. Following this logic, it is possible to argue that self-care interventions may help patients who struggle with self-care.

Background: Malnutrition is considered a complicated public health issue and depends on multiple factors. Hygienic behavior is related to orphan children’s growth, nutritional outcomes, and sound health. The study’s aim was to assess the hygiene behaviors and nutritional status of orphan students in Bangladesh. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted in three orphanage centers. A total of 120 respondents were interviewed. A descriptive analysis of the collected data was performed. Results: The monthly mean and median expenditure of orphans was 2000±475 BDT (20$). The number of toilets and waiting time for the orphan to use them are closely associated (χ2= 33.38; Cramer’s V=0.44, df=13; Sig; p<0.001). On average, an orphan waits 32.20 minutes to use the toilet facility when they need it. Orphan family income and disposal of waste in the toilet of the orphan center are strongly associated (χ2=99.19; Cramer’s V=0.49, df=39; Sig; p<0.001). There was a significant association between attending toilet-related hygiene and types of diseases. Hair fall, muscle wasting, fever, and xerosis of the skin were common diseases among orphans. Types of diseases orphans and schedule for the dietary chart are strongly associated (χ2=23.35; Cramer’s V=0.37, df=24; Sig; p<0.001). Conclusions: Integrated approach is required to counter the extent of malnutrition among orphans. Teachers of orphanages should receive proper training so that they are able to take care of the physical and mental health of the orphan children.

Reliable data regarding the usage patterns of personal care products (PCPs) are needed to determine the health risks posed by the ingredients of these products such as parabens, phthalates, and bisphenol A. There are no published data regarding the consumption patterns of PCPs in the Middle East in general and in Saudi Arabia in particular. To fill this gap, this study aimed to assess important factors such as the percentage of users and the frequency of use and co-use of twenty-three cosmetic and PCPs among the female population in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, this study aimed to assess the common cosmetic-related adverse events among the participants. The studied products included general hygiene, hair care, skin care, makeup, fragrances, and other products. The data were collected from 709 female participants of different age groups through a digital questionnaire. It was found that eighteen of the investigated products are consumed by at least 50% of the respondents. The frequency of use of PCPs varied over a wide range. Cosmetic-related adverse events were experienced by 16.1% of the participants. Use frequencies of many hygiene and makeup products were correlated with each other. This study provides, for the first time, baseline data on the usage patterns of a large number of widely consumed PCPs among female population pertaining to several sociodemographic strata. Such information is crucial for exposure and risk assessment and also needed for updating the current knowledge on usage of PCPs in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract The theme of the paper is the impact of the cosmetic industry on the economy. The reason for choosing this theme is the passion for cosmetics and personal care and belief in the importance of this aspect in people’s lives. Although the subject is very broad, with many data and details that extend over the decades since the establishment of this industry, the paper tries to summarize this information. This topic is discussed from the perspective of several mini chapters such as the socio-economic contribution of the European cosmetics industry, the impact on people’s lives, the past vs. the present cosmetics industry and the impact of COVID-19 on this industry. This article assesses the short- and medium-term impact of the beauty industry, based on multiple market reports, literature review and official statements by market leaders. When talking about the beauty industry, we consider the categories of makeup, perfume, personal hygiene and skin, hair, and body care.

A descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted on 132 students of class IX and X of Mymensingh sadar upazilla during early April to late June, 2007. This study was performed to assess and compare the level of knowledge and practicing behavior of urban and rural students in regards to hand washing, bathing, tooth brushing and taking care of nail and hair. All the students were interviewed with a semi-structured questionnaire and observed with an observational check list. The mean age of the students was 14.5±0.94 years. The knowledge of the students regarding tube well water for drinking was significantly higher in rural area (98.3%) compared to urban area. In addition, tube well water was stated as safe for bathing by 77.3% and safe for washing by 80.3% students. Hand washing before meal with soap and water was found almost similar among urban and rural students but hand washing with soap and water after defecation was found significantly better practiced in urban (97.2%) students. Practice regarding tooth paste use was higher in urban (80.6%) area and charcoal use (10.0%) was still found in rural areas. The mean frequency of tooth brushing was significantly higher in girls (1.8±0.5) compared to boys (1.6±0.5) and was significantly higher among urban (1.9±0.4) students. Most of the students were found trimming their nail once a week (74.2%) and cut their hair once a month (85.6%). Overall trend of knowledge and practice about personal hygiene is in positive direction but urban students and girls were more aware about personal hygiene than rural students.

<b>Background:</b> The beauty-care industry flourishes globally, including in Kathmandu, Nepal. Despite limited research on personal hygiene, beauty parlors lack comprehensive studies. This study aims to assess beauty parlor public hygiene (BPH) awareness among university students.<br /> <b>Methods</b>: The researchers employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling to gather data from consumers. Consumers were surveyed using self-designed tools, and the researchers assessed the tools’ reliability, validity, and pilot-tested them. The reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) of the tools was measured at 0.793. Prior to conducting the final study, the researchers obtained ethical approval. In this study, the researchers utilized descriptive analysis, t-tests, and Chi-square tests to analyze the data.<br /> <b>Results:</b> In this study, descriptive analysis showed that 53.0% of consumers scored 50.0% or lower in awareness of BPH. A one-sample t-test revealed a significant result (p=0.049) for BPH, with a mean difference of 0.753 (95% confidence interval: 0.0032 to 1.5033). Regarding sociodemographic variables, the mean age of consumers was 26.89 years. 52.1% of consumers visited beauty parlors more than once a month, and 43.8% spent between 501 and 1,000 rupees per month. The main services consumers sought were hair styling/cutting and facial/skin care in this study.<br /> <b>Conclusions:</b> Researchers suggested that below 50.0% of consumers scored low levels of awareness regarding BPH. Therefore, targeted interventions, more in-depth research studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and standardized protocols for regulating and monitoring beauty parlor services are recommended. Regular laboratory examinations to identify different types of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses are also suggested to prevent various types of communicable and pandemic diseases.

The BV is the most prevalent alteration of the vaginal microbiota and constitutes an important public health problem, the prevalence varies by age, ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, and geographic region and the risk factors associated with this condition, are included the number of sexual partners, the use of the intrauterine device, use of vaginal douche, hygiene habits and sexual practices/behaviors. To determine the prevalence and factors associated with bacterial vaginosis in women of reproductive age. Cross-sectional study was developed in Botucatu, Brazil, including 315 women. Data were obtained by applying a questionnaire and gynecological examination, with sample collection for analysis of the vaginal microbiota pattern, according to the Nugent scoring system. The association between independent variables and outcome was performed using a regression model. The variables that most influenced the outcome (p<0.20) were taken to the multiple logistic regression model and those independently associated with the outcome (p<0.05) were identified. The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 32% (101/315) and the associated variables were: not living with a partner [1.13(1.02-1.25), p=0.021], use of vaginal douche [1.42(1.22-1.64), p=0.000] and genital hair removal [1.19(1.01-1.42), p=0.042]. Results point to the importance of screening for this vaginal dysbiosis in routine gynecological care and suggest the importance of health professionals conducting guidance on proper intimate hygiene practices for women.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a leading cause of healthcare morbidity and cost for the health community. It is widely recognized that hand hygiene is the leading contributor infections, but hand hygiene still remains a major problem for nearly all healthcare systems. A longitudinal study was conducted over a 4-year period in a community-based health system. Methods: An electronic hand hygiene reminder system was installed in 2 different facilities including both critical care and noncritical units. This system collects data on individual healthcare provider hand hygiene and provides a real-time voice reminder in the event that a provider forgets to perform hand hygiene. The primary study was designed to investigate the impact of a real-time voice reminder to improve hand hygiene. A baseline period of hand hygiene was established prior to the interventions after installing the system without any access to data reporting or the voice reminder. Each of the hospitals had the voice reminder turned on and off 3 times. The baseline HAI rates were established by comparing in each facility for the 12 months prior to the implementation of the system. During the study period, there were no significant changes to other common infection control practices. Results: In both facilities, every time the voices were turned on, hand hygiene improved significantly and each clinical unit saw a >200% improvement in hand hygiene within 3 months of turning the voice reminder. HAIs fell by a statistically significant in all clinical areas by 51%. After a period of stabilization, the voice reminder was turned off hand hygiene compliance fell and HAI rates then increased. The voice reminder was then turned back on and off 2 more times. In every case, hand hygiene rates fell back to the baseline and HAIs returned to their baseline. When the voice reminder was then turned back on, HAIs dropped to 54%–81% of the baseline in each of the clinical units. The system also captured individual providers’ hand hygiene performance data and displayed it in a simple and engaging way, allowing managers easily understand who was struggling with hand hygiene. These data were then leveraged through a series of competitions to systematically drive hand hygiene performance improvement. These included traditional interventions to address an education issue in addition to interventions to identify workflow problems. Conclusions: Using this highly targeted approach, the leadership were able to efficiently drive sustained hand hygiene improvement and a further reduction in HAIs.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Full textAbstract:
The study is devoted to the traditional hygiene of the Selkups, one of the small peoples of the North. Selkup hy-giene traditions are viewed from two perspectives: through the prism of mythological representations and in the light of their conditioning by the natural environment and historical moment. As a result of the study, it was found that in the traditional worldview of the Selkups,all the excretions and “growths” from the human body, such asfeces, sweat, urine, saliva, nails, hair, etc., which,together with the person’s attitude to them,form the sphere of household hy-giene, were interpreted asthe soul / the life principle through which the idea of the cycle of life in the Universe is realized. The mythological interpretation of excreta and “growths” as elements responsible for human vitality is di-rectly reflected in Selkup hygiene traditions. Selkups didnot demonstrate hostility to feces and urine on the floor of the dwelling, to sweat that never washed off the body and never washed off clothes, and to saliva on plates wiped by it, but they were afraid ofbreakingeven one of the rules for cutting nails. The formation of hygiene skills, as well as their mythological interpretation, occurred under the influence of the natural environment in which the ancestors of the Selkups lived. The Selkup adaptation to the harsh natural conditions of the North was the maximum possible and did not let the Selkups downfor many centuries. Itsassessment fell from “relevant” to “unsanitary” when epidemic diseases came to the Selkups along with the Russian colonization, and traditional hygiene could not resist them

The aim: Research of personal hygiene products with detoxification properties by evaluating their formulation composition, emulsifying and complexing ability to heavy metal ions and radionuclides. Materials and methods: The complex-forming ability of raw materials with heavy metal ions was determined in vitro, the content of heavy metals was determined by the method of atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (BS EN 13805:2014); determined the content of 137Cs, 232Th, 40K, 226Ra, 90Sr in washings from the surface of the skin of hands treated with personal hygiene products. The means were tested for compliance with the standard on scintillation spectrometers of gamma radiation energy «SEG-001» «AKP-S» and beta radiation (SEB-01-70); methods used: MI 12-04-099 and MI 12-05-099. Results: A high complexing ability of the pectin-containing «Liana» shampoo was found in relation to heavy metal ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Pb2+), as well as in their combined presence. It was established that the effectiveness of removing fatty impurities from the surface of the skin of the «Liana» product was 10.1 times higher than that of liquid soap (р<0.001). A high level of deactivating, degassing and antibacterialproperties of the personal care products «Bastion» and «Bastion-M» was revealed. Conclusions: Today, there is significant potential in the creation of formulations for special (sanitary) skin and hair surface treatment, containing natural complexing agents as detoxicants, and can be used in special professional activities associated with the risk of exposure to CBRN factors.
