No full textThe Authors describe the results relative to the control of a new equipment for the sterilization of endoscopes. A series of tests has been carried out using various microrganisms to determine their resistance to sterilization. The results have demonstrated that the sterilization is obtained when the apparatus is used correctly and the endoscopes were placed in the position which makes easier the contact with the disinfectant
The museum of the department of public health and infectious diseases, Sapienza University of Rome
No full textThis paper illustrates in detail the birth of the Museum of Public Health of the Sapienza University of Rome, which has been one of the most successful achievements of Prof Carmine Melino in the last few years of his academic career. Backed by a very thin group of enthousiastic coworkers and colleagues, he recuperated all the instruments which had been used by the research groups active since 1880 at the former Institute of Hygiene, to which he added samples of the different pieces of laboratory furniture, ancient reagents, etc. The goal was not to simply collect, restore and maintain the documents of the Institute's past, but to rebuild a vintage laboratory, as it was inhabited by the hygienists of the past and to describe the kinds of research being performed during a period more than a century long. Beginning from the days when Hygiene became a scientific discipline, he tried to demonstrate that only the transformation of Hygiene into an experimental discipline made it possible the numberless achievements, including the improvements of the environmental conditions, the reduction of infectious diseases and the successful fight against the chronic, degenerative diseases of the present times

No full textAfter a brief review about the principal risks of infection caused by the application of dialysis, the Authors describe the results relative to the control of the bacteriological contamination present in a dialysis unit of a large Roman hospital. The results showed a general compliance with the guidelines. However the older models of the apparatus were found to be more contaminated than the more up to date models and the contamination risk was higher in correspondence with connections of the apparatus. Furthermore the presence of opportunistic microrganisms such as P aeruginosa suggests the need for their substitution

No full textThe Authors present the results of a survey on the procedures used for the disinfection of endoscopes in a large roman hospital. Thirteen endoscopy centers were investigated and microbiological controls were carried out on the endoscopes, the disinfectants and the rinsing solutions used.
The results show insufficient disinfection in several occasions because of a series of causes which are critically discussed
