Abstract The amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor air, usually called TVOC (total compounds), has been measured using different definitions and techniques which yield results. This report recommends a definition referring to specified range VOCs it proposes method for the measurement this entity. Within range, concentrations identified (including 64 target compounds) are summed up, non-identified toluene equivalents added and, together with VOCs, they give value. reviews...
The prevalence of allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases in large populations has increased recent decades. Among factors, this phenomenon been connected to adverse health effects air pollution. Although some causal links between occupational exposures their are shown, still little is known about the risks lifelong exposure indoor pollutants. To assess pollutants at prevailing concentration levels Europe, Joint Research Centre European Commission carried out a project called...

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are the number one cause of death. Selective prevention CMDs by general practitioners (GPs) could help reduce burden CMDs. This measure would entail identification individuals at high risk CMDs—but currently asymptomatic—followed interventions to their risk. No data were available on attitude and extent which European GPs have incorporated selective CMD into daily practice. A survey among 575 from Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands Sweden was...
Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, majority of patients received ambulatory treatment, highlighting importance primary health care (PHC). However, there is limited knowledge regarding PHC workload in Europe during this period. The utilization indicators could facilitate efficient monitoring and coordination pandemic response. objective study to describe for disease surveillance COVID-19’s impact Europe. Methods Descriptive, cross-sectional employing data obtained through a...
Person-centred care (PCC) is a fundamental principle in general practice, emphasising practices tailored to individual patient preferences, needs, and values. Despite the importance of PCC, practitioners (GPs) face obstacles effectively implementing it, with associated factors remaining unclear. The PACE GP/FP study aims explore GPs' attitudes towards PCC facilitating or hindering its implementation daily practice across European countries. This paper outlines protocol. cross-sectional...
Background. The criteria used to identify and diagnose irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in primary care are unclear, even though most patients managed entirely this setting.
Introduction. In the last decade of 20th century, countries Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have experienced rapid changes in health policies. This process was largely supported by international grants. After this support has ended, it is important to keep up with development, developing its own strategies priorities.
