“…The effects of sleep restriction through NSW and OSAHS require a particular interest in future research. For example, Klawe et al 10 , found no differences in cardio-respiratory PSG parameters in police officers with NSW. In our study, SA was the variable more highly altered among the group of police officers with NSW and OSAHS and patients with OSAHS only, than control subjects was the number of EEG activations.…”

“…Sleep disorders are more common than we think in police officers, and are largely unrecognized because they believe that excessive sleepiness is part of their daily life and work 27 . Sleep disorders prevalence investigations found that 40.4% of police officers reported symptoms of at least one sleep disorder, the majority had not been previously diagnosed or are not currently receiving treatment; OSAHS was found to be the most frequent disorder, with one-third of officers testing positive to at least one disorder 10,11 . Given that being overweight and being obese are the major known risk factors for OSAHS, the high prevalence of weight disorders among police officers is expected to be a great deal of concern 25 .…”

“…Interactions among NSW and OSAHS has been studied, including in police officers 10,11 , however sleep alterations deserve more research. As a result, this study aimed to assess several measures of sleep architecture (SA) in police officers with both: NSW and OSAHS and in their daytime somnolence and SQ in search for more knowledge of sleep alterations.…”

IntroductionReduced sleep to increase work hours is common among police officers, when this situation is combined with Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), health consequences are greater, therefore we believe there is a need of research for these alterations. The aim of this study was to measure the changes in sleep architecture (SA) in police officers who currently have Night shift work (NSW) and OSAHS.MethodsWe compared SA in 107 subjects divided in three groups: the first group included police officers with NSW and severe OSAHS (n = 48); the second group were non-police officers with diurnal work time and severe OSAHS (n = 48) and the third group was formed by healthy controls (n = 11). Polysomnography (PSG) variables and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores were compared.ResultsSA was more disrupted in the group of police officers with NSW and OSAHS than in patients with OSAHS only and in the control group. Police officers with NSW and OSAHS presented an increased number of electroencephalographic activations, apnea/hypopnea index, and sleep latency, and showed lower scores of oxygen saturation, and in the ESS. Multivariate analysis revealed significant influence of age and Body mass index (BMI).ConclusionsData suggested with caution an additive detrimental effect of NSW and OSAHS in SA and ESS of police officers. However age and BMI must be also taken into account in future studies.

“…These bacteria can penetrate to the source of water via the human or animal fecali. Many Enterococci have plasmid-encoded resistance genes, which are intrinsically less sensitive to many common antimicrobials 13 and are very resistant against antibiotics. 14 The growth of Enterococci does not generally happen in freshwater habitats, where their presence naturally witnesses to the point or nonpoint source pollution where it may be originated from the material suspension or environmental reservoirs.…”

The contamination of Enterococcus bacterium is widely observed in the living environment and water. The decontamination of drinking water from the bacterial pollution is an important issue in water treatment. Here, the inactivation of Enterococcus bacteria is studied by placing the dielectric barrier discharge structure, with the RF discharge frequency of 13.56 MHz atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet, directly in water, whereas the water around the plasma plume was seething and the bubbles produced stirring all liquid volume. The ability to place a plasma jet nozzle directly in water for 10 min while maintaining a steady and uniform plasma plume, besides water temperature, provides the effectiveness enhancement in the inactivation of bacteria. The absorption of UV radiation in water is effective, and the role of UV radiation of plasma plume was mainly responsible for the destruction of peptidoglycan, which is the outer layer of Enterococcus. Then, the presence of electrons and plasma plume in water leads to the formation of hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide, and other reactive radicals that are involved in chemical reactions, which lead to the inactivation of micro-organisms. The number of bacteria decreases from the initial value of 16 × 105 MPN/100 ml to less than 1.2 MPN/100 ml. The spectra of the plasma radiation, with the plume length 2 cm within the water, have been analyzed via the first nitrogen negative system N2+B−X. The plume temperature was calculated to be about 64 °C, which has a good agreement with water temperature measured by using a thermometer at about 67 °C after 15 min at maximum 200 W input power of the plasma jet.
