This document provides an introduction to the fifth edition of the manual "Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings". The manual aims to provide health professionals with information on currently used pesticides and their health hazards, as well as recommendations for managing pesticide poisonings. Pesticide poisoning remains underdiagnosed, so the manual seeks to improve education of healthcare providers in this area. Key principles of pesticide poisoning management discussed include airway protection, gastric emptying procedures, use of activated charcoal and other decontamination methods, and hemodialysis or hemoperfusion for severe poisonings. Common pesticide exposures associated with poisonings are also summarized based on national surveillance data.
This report analyzes social dialogue practices in the banking sectors of nine EU member states to identify best practices and challenges. It groups the countries into four categories:
1) Best practices in Denmark, Spain, and Italy where collective bargaining plays a strong role in shaping effective social dialogue.
2) Social dialogue challenges in Portugal and Greece where sectoral collective bargaining, a key means of social dialogue, is emerging as a challenge.
3) Best practices in Cyprus and Malta where national unions enhanced social dialogue to regulate employment relations and deals with mergers and acquisitions.
4) Bulgaria and Romania where developing social dialogue is an ongoing process and collective bargaining is not yet firmly established in regulating banking sector employment relations
Eng. Hossam Nassar - The Application of Anaerobic Thermal Desorption Unit for...Hudhaib Al-Allatti
This document describes the process of an anaerobic thermal desorption unit (ATDU). The ATDU uses indirect heating to volatilize contaminants from solid waste up to 760°C without combustion. The treated solids are cooled and the gases are treated in a vapor recovery unit (VRU) using scrubbers to remove dust, oil, and water before being discharged or further treated. The VRU recovers oil and water from the process which can be reused while isolating contaminants for safe disposal.

The study aims to better understand formation invasion around wellbores. During drilling, mud filtrate invades the formation, displacing native fluids and altering properties in the invaded zone. This zone is often assumed cylindrical but its true shape is unknown, especially in horizontal wells where density differences can cause gravity segregation. The goals are to use ground penetrating radar (GPR) to image invasion geometries in a physical model and provide data to develop mathematical models. Comparisons of visual observations, GPR images, and numerical simulations show promise for characterizing invasion and correcting borehole measurements.
Obesity rates have been rising nationally, with over 40% of men and 30% of women overweight or obese by 2002. If current trends continue, there will be over 12 million obese adults and 1 million obese children by 2010. Obesity increases the risk of diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Childhood obesity is also rising, and is difficult to address as children depend on adults to guide healthy eating and exercise. Targets aim to reduce the annual rise in childhood obesity rates. Key actions needed include expanding family services, targeting at-risk groups, and establishing referral systems for healthcare professionals.

GUIDELINES ON PROGRAMMATIC MANAGEMENT OF DRUG RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS IN ETHI...Nebiyu Mesfin
Ethiopia is a high TB, TB/HIV and MDR TB Burden country. The FMOH is implementing a comprehensive TBL and TB/HIV control program and has achieved a lot in the past decade and is on track to achieve the MDG targets regarding TB and HIV.
The increasing emergence of drug-resistant strains of TB is due to treatment defaulters and other challenges ranging from delays in initiating treatment, inadequate bed capacity, poor infection control in health facilities, and new
infections.
The following policy guidelines are intended for use by health care professionals involved in the complex and difficult task of MDR- and XDR-TB patients in Ethiopia. The guidelines focus on the clinical management, referral
mechanisms and models of care. However, psychosocial support to ensure comprehensive management of the patients, strategies for infection prevention and control, and health services for health care workers (HCWs) are covered.
Management of DR-TB is an evolving strategy, and needs to be adapted through evidence-based information. These guidelines contain recommendations based on the most recent and available scientific evidence and expert opinions. Comments and suggestions from those working in the field are essential to ensure a dynamic process, aimed at optimal control of DR-TB in Ethiopia.
This systematic review evaluated the effects of glucocorticoid with cyclophosphamide treatment for paraquat-induced lung fibrosis based on three randomized controlled trials with a total of 164 participants.
