The paper puts forth the need for health care workers safety whilst undertaking their job on a daily basis. Presently there are number of factors that are directly linked to the safety of health care workers. However, Occupational Health is very important and useful for health workers that are exposed to their job hazards. Every year, many lives are lost because of the spread of infections in hospitals. Every hospital’s occupational health departments should ensure that all new staff are vaccinated to protect them against microorganisms carried by other patients, and with vaccinated against preventable diseases. This will help to prevent the health workers from occupational exposure to patients’ blood or any other bodily substances, including injury from sharp objects, and also guarantees that the new employees does not infect the patients with infectious diseases. Furthermore, all the new staff should be screened for blood borne pathogenic diseases.

3.Macroamylasemia as a Rare Cause of Hyperamylasemia: A Case Report
Korean Journal of Family Medicine 2023;44(6):347-349
Macroamylasemia is a rare condition characterized by the formation of an amylase–globulin complex that is too large to be readily excreted by the kidneys and leads to elevated serum amylase levels. It is a benign condition lacking severe signs and symptoms that does not require treatment. This paper presents a case of a middle-aged man with unexplained elevated serum amylase levels. Despite an initially elevated triglyceride level, clinical findings, laboratory test results, and radiological findings were not suggestive of pancreatitis. The ratio of renal amylase clearance to creatinine clearance was calculated at <1%, consistent with macroamylasemia. No specific treatment was given, and he was monitored periodically. Nevertheless, macroamylasemia is a diagnostic challenge because of the need to differentiate it from other causes of hyperamylasemia to avoid unnecessary tests and treatments.
