For the students’ prior knowledge of medicine in India on occupational health, and specifically on musculoskeletal shoulder, wrist and knee were surveyed. Below is a fact sheet of the instrument applied.

Type of instrument Poll
Questioning Questions with multiple-choice answers closed.
Universe Undergraduate medical students in India of Pravara Institute of Medical Sciences.
Sample 100 medical students
Probe Type No probabilistic
Way to probe Through internet platforms.

 

Below are the questions with their respective tab:

1. Evaluate the importance for you learning within occupational health training as a medical professional?

Unimportant 57
Important 31
Very important 12

 

2. Evaluate the knowledge you have on occupational dermatitis

Very bad 7
Bad 14
Regula 64
Good 7
Very good 8

 

3. He has had the opportunity to study virtually dermatitis

Yes 73
No 27

 

4. As regards the virtual methodology for teaching medicine

Very bad 0
Bad 0

Very good 65

 

5. Considers that the study of occupational dermatitis by preventing medical help.

Yes 93
No 7

 

CONCLUSIONS: There is a receptivity of medical students by demartitis and study it in a virtual format, it is seen that students would be better prepared in this area, thus contributing to the decline of professional demartidis in India

Occupational dermatoses

Occupational dermatoses are skin diseases in which can be shown to work is the root cause or a factor that contributes to it, but also these projection diseases are legal in several countries, therefore completes the definition by stating that occupational dermatoses are those recognized as such in the country of residence of the worker.

Contact dermatitis is still held condition more common in occupational dermatoses, followed facing, currently there are numerous publications related to this topic, but about of epidemiology and the social and economic affect there insufficient attention. A disease will occur limitation in various crafts, decrease productivity, impaired quality of life, and in countries where there is cause for legal action compensation or disability payments. However, occupational dermatoses are not only the contact dermatitis, processes are also considered as cancer skin, bacterial, viral and fungal infections, including acquired by exposure during work activity.

Classification dermatomes Alpha

The most useful are classifying by the agent can triggered by:

1. Mechanical vibrations, foreign bodies: asbestos (wart asbestos), beryllium (sarcoid granuloma) lubricants (oleoma), coal (tattoos), iron (siderosis) silver (argyria localized), silica (silicotic granuloma); artefactas (to simulate illness), a phenomenon Koebner (palmar psoriasis, lichen planus).
2. Physical: heat (burns, heat exhaustion, heat rash), cold (Cold urticaria, perniosis, cutis marmorata, freezing), electrical (burning) radiation (radiation Ultraviolet skin cancer, photodermatitis) radiation ionizing (radiodermatitis).

3. Chemical: currently there are 2800 substances classified as allergens 5,000,000 which currently exist. Injuries can produce irritation or allergy, in this case can cause severe disease in construction workers, electronic industry, plastic,
health. Other injuries are disorders Pigmentation: leucodermas (hydroquinone)
melanodermias (petroleum), urticaria to latex, purple and lichenoid eruptions revealed by chemical photographic components the rubber industry.
4. Vegetables: include ornamental plants, edible and woods. The ornamental bulbs or by the same plant gardeners or housekeepers. The edible garlic as irritation and sensitization. The cause sensitization woods are especially its
content of quinones.

5. Biological: bacteria and viruses (erysipeloid, tuberculosis verrucosa, milker’s nodule, syphilitic chancre), mycosis (Superficial and deep mycoses), parasitic (scabies animal, arthropod condition), animal protein (Urticaria).

6. Other forms: low humidity (for prolonged use of air Conditioning: pruritus, erythema), airborne (see in open areas are irritative eczema, allergic, phototoxic reactions, contact urticaria, acne, etc.)

Diagnostic dermatomes

To make a proper diagnosis should be performed exploration which has three basic steps:
1. Clinical history, besides the usual anamnesis should develop a work history in which should be considered. All materials to which the patient is exposing in
work environment, current and previous occupation, activities manuals home and hobbies. Background atopic. In the test to determine the location of lesions
in the areas consistent with the form and type of job. The tests determine the clinical history of convenient contact.

2. Patch test or patch test: a procedure for standardized diagnostic of choice for studying patients with DCA. Its main use is eczema subacute or chronic idiopathic or especially the case unknown, and in special locations as the dermatitis of the hands, feet, eyelids, anogenital region lower limb and eczema. Currently these
Tests are also conducted in patients atopic dermatitis and related tables as eczema
nummular eczema dyshidrotic unresponsive to treatment Conventional.

This type of testing is apply the standard battery under occlusive method, this includes 80% of most common allergens causing DCA special batteries which
include allergens more often according to each occupation. In some cases the tests
be carried out with products that brings the same patient, is considered important to know the product pH for those substances with pH less than 3 and greater than 10 should not be tested as such, in those cases should be made and repeated dilutions when necessary.

Tests with these substances can be open or semi-open. Tests semiopen drying are performed substances leaving on the skin and subsequently covered, if the open is
are dried and is repeated two to three times daily for 2 to 3 days, interrupted in the case of having a reaction characterized by erythema, papules or vesicles, this procedure is useful to rectify the test results epicutaneous equivocal between irritative reaction or allergic.

3. Submit scores the sick and instructions. The diagnosis of occupational dermatitis can be complex, and in countries where there are laws that provide
these conditions may determine change of post career change or permanent disability.
