30.09.2020 – Occupational health: the world of work in transition
Occupational health is defined as achieving physical, mental, and social wellness in a work setting, a goal that is difficult to achieve under conditions of global attempts to increase production quality and quantity whilst minimising overheads. Occupational health is secured by employers, employees, public authorities, and specialised services known as occupational health services. Occupational medicine is a unique medical specialisation, involving assessment of occupational environment risks defined by exposure (occupational hygiene) and the study of health consequences of exposure (occupational pathology). Occupational medicine professionals perform specific medical assessments (diagnostic, recognition, reporting, and treatment of occupational diseases) and provide occupational medical services which include medical fitness assessment to work. This special edition documents occupational health issues with emphasis on potential work-related diseases.
31.12.2019 – Alcohol policy and use in Central Europe in an interdisciplinary perspective
Considering the ineffectiveness of the long-term alcohol policy, Central Europe is an example of a high-risk approach to alcohol consumption. The special issue of the Central European Journal of Public Health addresses two areas reflecting the key challenges and problems of Central Europe in this field. First part consists of several articles dealing with the phenomenon of moderate drinking (low-risk drinking). Teams of leading experts (in cardiology, hepatology, addictology, etc.) were created ad hoc to compile their respective literature reviews with a focus on moderate drinking. Second part comprises original articles presenting alcohol-related research and data on alcohol use in Central Europe.
The Czech Republic ranks among countries with high alcohol consumption, and therefore it is important to raise the public awareness of the risks associated with alcohol consumption. The Public Health Centre, Department of Addictology, First Medical Faculty, Charles University and General University Hospital in Prague have developed and operate an information portal alkoholpodkontrolou.cz, which is intended for the general public to support fight against alcohol addiction. It provides verified information, healthy lifestyle motivation, and direct contact for professional assistance.
