Abstract Objective. To understand the prevalence of domestic violence (DV) in Wuhan, China, to explore the correlation between domestic violence and husbands. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a community health center in Wuhan from June 2015 to December 2015. Participants were 1015 women who came to the center for gynecological examination. They were assessed using WHO violence against women instrument to evaluate the prevalence of domestic violence. Chi-square test, Wilcoxon rank test and unadjusted and adjusted logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the possible risk factors of domestic violence. Results. The prevalence of domestic violence was 29.36% (298/1015). The risk factors included heavy physical labor (OR=3.56, 95%CI:1.63~7.78), long-term drinking (OR=1.61, 95%CI:1.20~2.16), overweight or obesity (OR=1.38, 95%CI:1.02~1.88) and long-term smoking (OR=1.02, 95%CI:1.01~1.04). Protective factors were higher education (OR=0.78, 95%CI: 0.66-0.93). Conclusion. The prevalence of domestic violence in women from Wuhan, China was common. We might decrease the occurrence of the possible risk factors of domestic violence to control it.

Klinische Symptome

Nathues C, Janssen E, Duengelhoef A et al. Cross-sectional study on risk factors for Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus sow herd instability in German breeding herds. Acta Vet Scand 2018; 60 (1): 1–8 In mit PRRSV (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrom Virus) infizierten Schweinebeständen zeigen die Tiere oftmals ernsthafte klinische Symptome. Die Schwere der Symptomatik hängt von der Virulenz der jeweiligen Virusstämme ab. Deshalb ist die Impfung gegen diesen Erreger sinnvoll und wird empfohlen, auch wenn sie nicht immer klinische Fälle verhindert bzw. das Virus vollends eliminiert. Aufgrund dessen rückt die Prävention durch Verbesserung der innerbetrieblichen Abläufe zunehmend in den Fokus. Um solche Maßnahmen erfolgreich etablieren zu können, ist es wichtig, den epidemiologischen Status der Herde und mögliche Risikofaktoren zu kennen. Ziel der Studie war deshalb, die Prävalenz der Infektion in Sauenbetrieben in Norddeutschland zu eruieren und verschiedene Arbeitsabläufe hinsichtlich des Risikos der Erregerverbreitung zu untersuchen.
