“…Cases occurring in men and nonmenstruating women were thereafter identified and it was recognized that TSS can occur in any population. There has been a recently published report of recurrent TSS in a 15-year-old girl even after she ceased to use tampons ( 4 ).…”

“…Furthermore, the intermittent pattern of diarrhoea was a clue to target SEC since, in several reported cases of SEC, there is an association between toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) and staphylococcal enterotoxins or even the isolated identification of TSST-1. The latter is involved in the pathogenesis of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (TSS), whose recurrence has been reported in previous studies [10][11][12]. Therefore, even in the absence of criteria for TSS -probable and definitive -the presented case's recurrent nature weighed on the investigation's continuance.…”

S. aureus is an alarming human pathogen since it triggers numerous diseases, including impetigo and pneumonia. The S. aureus' ability to colonise the upper respiratory tract and other tissues, such as the skin, throat and gut, operate as reservoirs for infection. Indeed, being a carrier of S. aureus in the gut represents a risk factor for developing infection in distinct sites, including an unusual gastrointestinal tract disease. Here, we present an atypical clinical course of staphylococcal enterocolitis (SEC) in a man in his early seventies. After an unforeseen identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), the oral administration of vancomycin was critical in the outcome of the case. Although infrequent, SEC is an underestimated disease and requires a chapter in the treatment recommendations for antibiotic-related diarrhoea. Awareness of the risk factors and diagnostic tests, along with including SEC in algorithms for handling antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, is a step towards new epidemiological information.

“…This may be attributed to the use of an electronic survey method. Second, this study only focused on OSPs because we observed that, as with previous studies, the most used menstrual hygiene products were disposable menstrual pads, due to their convenience and easiness of discarding [ 1 , 37 , 38 ]. Therefore, women’s attitudes on other kinds of alternatives such as tampons, menstrual cups, cloth menstrual pads should be examined in future studies.…”

Women’s attitudes toward certification logos, labels, and advertisements for organic disposable sanitary pads: results from a multi-city cross-sectional survey

et al. 2022

Background This cross-sectional study evaluated women’s attitudes toward the certification logos, labels, and advertisements for organic disposable sanitary pads (OSPs) and investigated what could be the main reason for them. Additionally, the present study examined whether a relationship could be found between these attitudes and OSPs purchasing behavior. Methods This study was conducted using a self-reported online survey of Korean adult women who have purchased OSPs. The study questionnaire had four sections, covering (1) characteristics of OSP purchasing behavior, (2) attitudes toward OSP certification logos, labels, and advertisements, (3) demand on government and companies for proper management, and (4) respondent’s sociodemographic information. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the questionnaire was 0.857. Results A total of 500 respondents completed the questionnaire. Overall, high reliability was found for the certification logos (3.73 ± 0.61), labels on the product packaging (3.71 ± 0.63), and advertisements of OSPs (3.41 ± 0.62). Respondents indicated that these had fairly positive effects on their decision-making regarding product reliability, product image, and their own purchasing behavior. The aspects most frequently affected from the informants were safety to human health. All attitudes toward OSP certification logos, labels, and advertisements that were evaluated in this study became more positive in the direction from non-buyers to occasional buyers and to habitual buyers (all P < 0.05). The most significant demand from the respondents for OSP companies and the government was to clearly indicate hazardous ingredients on the OSP packaging (42.0%) and to strengthen the sanctions for false advertising (37.8%), respectively. Conclusions The results of this study clearly indicate the importance of using certification logos, labels, and advertisements in the OSP market. These results can be utilized by OSP companies to improve the effectiveness of their marketing strategies or by policy makers and certifying bodies to manage the informants properly in the OSP market.
