Il dolore lombare o cervicale da ernia o protrusione discale è tra le patologie più diffuse nei paesi occidentali: colpisce almeno una volta quasi l'80% della popolazione adulta ed è al primo posto tra le cause di astensione dal lavoro.Il cosidetto "mal di schiena" si manifesta principalmente con dolore lombare, eventualmente irradiato agli arti

Disinfection of drinking water by chlorine is a primary means of preventing thetransmission of waterborne disease, and its efficacy is well-established. Thecomparative inactivation of highly purified hepatitis A virus (HAV) and MS2 by 1mg water/L, 2.0 and 0.4 mg ozone/L plus 0.6, 1.0 or 1.6 mg hydrogen peroxide/Lwas determined at temperatures from

In steadily flowing water at 20°C and pH 7, five organisms had the following order of resistance to ozone (at constant levels of ozone): poliovirus 1 (PV1) < Escherichia coli < hepatitis A virus (HAV) < Legioneila pneumophila serogroup 6 < Bacillus subtilis spores. The tests were repeated at 10°C with HAV, PV1, and E. coli. Ozone

Although chlorine is the most widely used agent for disinfecting water, its use presents problems because of its relatively low effectiveness as a virucide and because of potentially toxic compounds that may be formed. Ozone is shown to have a much more rapid virucidal effect and may soon find its place in treating water and wastewater, alone or in

The inactivation of a large-focus-forming variant of hepatitis A virus (HM-175) by ozone wasinvestigated. Experiments using mainly single-particle virus preparations suspended in phosphate-carbonate buffer were conducted over a range of pH levels (6-8) at 4 degrees C. Viral enumerationsinvolved the use of a radioimmunofocus assay. While some

The inactivation of simian rotavirus SA-11 and human rotavirus type 2 (Wa) by ozone was compared at 4°C by using single-particle virus stocks. Although the human strain was clearly more sensitive, both virus types were rapidly inactivated by ozone concentrations of 0.25 mg/liter or greater at all pH levels tested. Comparison of the virucidal

Continuous exposure to 0.5 ppm ozone during the course of murine influenza A/PR8/34 virusinfection reduced the severity of the disease as quantitated by histologic (morphometric), biochemical(serum albumin in lavage fluid), and gravimetric (lung wt/dry weight ratios) parameters of lung injury.The ozone-mediated abatement of the lung injury was

MS2 coliphage (ATCC 15597-Bl) has been proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a surrogate for enteric viruses to determine the engineering requirements of chemical disinfection systems on the basis of previous experience with chlorine. The objective of this study was to determine whether MS2 coliphage was a suitable indicator for

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most complex global health challenges today. The world has long ignored warnings that antibiotics and other medicines are losing their effectiveness after decades of overuse and misuse in human medicine, animal health and agriculture. Common illnesses like pneumonia, postoperative infections, diarrhoeal and

In the last 3 decades major autohemotherapy after exposure to ozone has been used in Europe inuncontrolled trials carried out in patients with many illnesses, particularly chronic viral diseases andneoplasms. It appears that the treatment may activate the host's immune system by inducing theproduction of immunoactive cytokines and it may now be

Ozone, in a liquid-phase application, was evaluated as a residue-free viral inactivant that may be suitable for use in an arboviral research laboratory. Commonly used sterilizing agents may leave trace residues, be flammable or explosive, and require lengthy periods for gases or residues to dissipate after decontamination of equipment such as
