[The demonstration of the connection of cause in the professional allergic pathology not tabulated. Utility and limits of the allergometric tests]. / La dimostrazione del nesso di causa nella patologia allergica professionale non tabellata. Utilità e limiti dei test allergometrici.

The Sentences of the Constitutional Court no 179/88 and 206/88 have of done modified the system insurance of the professional illnesses. To the old tabular system to the pathologies for which the legal conceitedness of origin is in force they are added those pathologies that need to be shown with burden of test of the applicant. And necessary to resort to the criterion pathogenetic for the geneses pathologies plurifactorialy or to non certain etiology. These innovations determine the necessity of a methodological iter forced for the recognition of the professional illness not table. The authors therefore they propose an iter diagnostic that passes through the recognition of the connection of cause. To such intention the authors examine meaning and limits of the suggested investigations.

[Evaluation of noise risk in roadmen]. / Valutazione del rischio rumore in cantonieri.

The activity of roadman is not much knowed. The evalutation of the risk evidences the noise and vibrations as the principal polluter. The aim of our study is to go into the knowledge of the working risk of that job. The study was leaded on a sample of 287 roadmen. It was carried out an evalutation of noise exposure of the workers and a biologic evaluation that included: Medical check. Othorhin.laryngoiatric examination. Audiometric examination. Impedenzometric examination. The audiometric exam was conduced in a silent box and with a acoustic rest at least 16 h. The audiometric test were classified in conformity with Merluzzi-Pira-Bosio method. The phonometric evaluations point out, in roadmans examinated, hight exposure to noise with mean Lep d > 90 db. Biological evaluation, through medical check, showed data similar with that of a general group homogeneous for age and sex. Audiometric evaluation showed a noise acoustic trama in 60% of sample. Inpedenzometric exam confirmed the absence of transmissive damage in almost whole sample. In conclusion we can adfirm that noise is a strong factor for roadmen, with evident damage to exposed workers.

[Stress and work. Result of an epidemiological investigation among the voluntary postal and telecommunications personnel of the Calabria region]. / Stress e lavoro: risultati di un'indagine epidemiologica tra il personale volontario delle poste e telecomunicazioni della regione Calabria.

The Stress, in consequence of the alterations neuroendocryne to it correlated, as cause of pathology is often suitable, professional and not, among the various. But the circumstance that it can recognize causal moments in the different existential situations makes difficult to bring back the cause of a lot of pathologies to the only working stress somehow in relationship with the working activity. To overcome this "enpasse" I diagnose the authors they apply, in one epidemiological job of theirs, with methodological iter that considers, above all, the efficient and conclusive role of the working factor.

[Work related disease in radiation exposed? Case report]. / Malattia professionale in radioesposto? Case report.

In the present work we analysed the possible recognition of professional disease in a subject exposed to ionizing radiation. Haematic parameters were evaluated during the working activity and after the risk's avoidance. Normal haematic values after the pathogenic noxa's avoidance exclude a chronic damage, which in an indispensable datum for professional disease recognition.

[Chronic pelvic pain in women and prevalent orthostatic work. Preliminary results of a study on health staff of the surgical field]. / Dolore pelvico cronico nella donna e lavoro ortostatico prevalente. Risultati preliminari di uno studio condotto sul personale sanitario dell'area chirurgica.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this research is to estimate the causal and/or pre-existing causal influence of some working factors, such as the standing (position) in pelvic pain syndrome, in relation to the reduction in working performance. METHODS: The research was carried out by means of an inclusive questionnaire, the purpose being to analyse anamnestic and working information. The questionnaire was proposed to a group of female sanitary staff selected in relation to their working activity. RESULTS: Examination of the questionnaire shows prominently the association between pelvic pain and orthostatic working activity, kept not below 4-6 hours each duty. In fact, 70% of the people selected have reported this mutual relationship. CONCLUSIONS: Working activities in the orthostatic position can produce pelvic pain, whose origin and intensity seem to be related to extended orthostatic working activity. The mechanism by which the upright position can produce an outbreak of pelvic pain in women seems to be linked to the compression on abdominal vessels, with slowing-down and reduction of the hematic uterine discharge.
