  • Protecting Workers from Cold Stress
    QUICK CARDTM Protecting Workers from Cold Stress Cold temperatures and increased wind speed (wind chill) cause heat to leave the body more quickly, putting workers at risk of cold stress. Anyone working in the cold may be at risk, e.g., workers in freezers, outdoor agriculture and construction. Common Types of Cold Stress Hypothermia • Normal body temperature (98.6°F) drops to 95°F or less. • Mild Symptoms: alert but shivering. • Moderate to Severe Symptoms: shivering stops; confusion; slurred speech; heart rate/breathing slow; loss of consciousness; death. Frostbite • Body tissues freeze, e.g., hands and feet. Can occur at temperatures above freezing, due to wind chill. May result in amputation. • Symptoms: numbness, reddened skin develops gray/ white patches, feels firm/hard, and may blister. Trench Foot (also known as Immersion Foot) • Non-freezing injury to the foot, caused by lengthy exposure to wet and cold environment. Can occur at air temperature as high as 60°F, if feet are constantly wet. • Symptoms: redness, swelling, numbness, and blisters. Risk Factors • Dressing improperly, wet clothing/skin, and exhaustion. For Prevention, Your Employer Should: • Train you on cold stress hazards and prevention. • Provide engineering controls, e.g., radiant heaters. • Gradually introduce workers to the cold; monitor workers; schedule breaks in warm areas. For more information: U.S. Department of Labor www.osha.gov (800) 321-OSHA (6742) 2014 OSHA 3156-02R QUICK CARDTM How to Protect Yourself and Others • Know the symptoms; monitor yourself and co-workers. • Drink warm, sweetened fluids (no alcohol). • Dress properly: – Layers of loose-fitting, insulating clothes – Insulated jacket, gloves, and a hat (waterproof, if necessary) – Insulated and waterproof boots What to Do When a Worker Suffers from Cold Stress For Hypothermia: • Call 911 immediately in an emergency.

Tuberculous gumma or metastatic tuberculous abscess as initial diagnosis of tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient: an unusual presentation Revisions of Clinical Cases: Tuberculous gumma or metastatic tuberculous abscess as initial diagnosis of tuberculosis in an immunocompetent patient: an unusual presentation A Marco, R Solé1, E Raguer1, M Aranda1 Servicios Sanitarios del Centro Penitenciario de Hombres de Barcelona (CPHB) y Servicio de Medicina Interna del Hospital Consorci Sanitari de Terrasa (HCST)1. ABStract Background and Objectives: Tuberculous cold abscesses or gumma are an unusual form of tuberculosis. We report a case of gumma as initial diagnosis of disseminated tuberculosis. Method: This case was studied in 2012 in Barcelona (Spain). Source data was compiled from the electronic clinical records, hospital reports and additional diagnostic testing. Results: Immunocompetent inmate, born in Cape Verde, living in Spain since the age of four. Positive tuberculin skin test. Initial examination without interest, but a palpable mass in lower back. Fine needle aspiration of the abscess was positive (PCR and Lowenstein) for M. tuberculosis. Computed tomography showed lung cavitary nodes in apical part and lung upper right side. After respiratory isolation, antituberculous therapy and an excellent evolution, the patient was discharged from hospital with disseminated tuberculosis diagnosis. Discussion: It is advisable to monitor the injuries since, although rare, it may be secondary to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, mainly in inmuno-compromised populations and in immigrants coming from hyper-endemic tuberculosis areas. Keywords: Prisons; Tuberculosis, cutaneous; Spain; Diagnosis, Differential; Endemic Diseases; Abscess; HIV.

  • On the Front Lines: a Case of Trench Foot in a Homeless Woman by Dean Carpenter, APRN, BC
    HOMELESS HEALTH CARE CASE REPORT: TRENCH FOOT Homeless Health Care Case Report: Sharing Practice-Based Experience Volume 3, Number 2 June 2007 On the Front Lines: A Case of Trench Foot in a Homeless Woman by Dean Carpenter, APRN, BC As a result of exposure to inclement weather, cold-related injuries are common among homeless people. Cold-related injuries can be divided into two general categories: non-freezing tissue injuries and those that result from freezing of the tissue, such as frostbite. The most common and mildest form of non-freezing, cold-related injury, chilblains, occurs when the affected extremity is repeatedly exposed to dry, cold weather and results in pain, swelling and occasionally blister formation.
