Concomitant sensitization to triglycidyl isocyanurate, diaminodiphenylmethane and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate from silk-screen printing coatings in the manufacture of circuit boards.

A 48-year-old female silk-screen printer had worked in the manufacture of circuit boards for 12 years before she got the first symptoms of dermatitis on her wrists and lower arms. On the 1st patch test session, epoxy resin and the remainder of the standard series were negative, while a plastics and glues series gave an allergic reaction to 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). The 2nd test session revealed allergic reactions to several acrylics, several epoxy compounds and 3 ink components. According to the material safety data sheets, 1 ink hardener contained DDM, but the causative agent in 1 ink and 1 ink hardener remained uncertain. The manufacturers of the 2 inks kindly provided us with their components for further patch tests. 2 of these components gave allergic reactions: triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA). Our case report shows that the manufacture of circuit boards involves exposure to highly sensitizing chemicals. DDM, TGIC and 2-HEMA should be remembered as silk-screen printers' potential contact sensitizers in the manufacture of circuit boards.

The readability of printed education materials regarding hormone replacement therapy.

In summary, HRT is a preventative medication that has been shown to decrease the incidence of heart disease and osteoporosis. It also has been shown to reduce symptoms of menopause and to increase the quality of life of users. Choosing to begin and maintain HRT is a personal and complicated decision. In evaluating the risks and benefits of HRT for any one woman, that woman and her primary care provider must individualize her past and current medical history, her family history, and her lifestyle. Together they must come to a decision that best represents the health, social needs, and desires of the patient. Individualizing HRT is difficult for a woman to do on her own, and it is time-consuming for a practitioner. Using PEMs to clarify the benefits and risks of HRT can be very beneficial to a woman considering such therapy. PEMs, however, are not a substitute for one-on-one education, and especially are not appropriate for teaching if their level of technical difficulty is beyond the scope of a patient's comprehension. This study suggests that many of the PEM's provided to women on the subject of HRT are failing to reach their target audiences because of their level of reading difficulty. A stated objective identified in the national initiative Healthy People 2000 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1997) is to "Increase to at least 90% the proportion of perimenopausal women who have been counseled about the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy for the prevention of osteoporosis." PEMs are one way to reach this objective, provided they are understandable to the clientele of focus.

Using a team approach to implement automatic printing of pathology/radiology reports.

In a quality environment, improvement starts with a commitment from top management and flows down to all levels in the organization. One of the many ways in which an organization can demonstrate this commitment is by first listening to customers and then taking actions to improve services based on the identified needs of those the organization serves. This article describes a quality process in action and demonstrates how teamwork and commitment can produce the desired outcome: customer satisfaction.
