Latex allergens in tire dust and airborne particles.
The prevalence and severity of latex allergy has increased dramatically in the last 15 years due to exposure to natural rubber products. Although historically this health risk has been elevated in hospital personnel and patients, a recent survey has indicated a significant potential risk for the general population. To obtain a wide-spread source for latex exposure, we have considered tire debri...
متن کاملDouble blind trial of ionisers in children with asthma sensitive to the house dust mite.
BACKGROUND Manufacturers of ionisers claim many benefits from the use of their devices, including the relief of asthma. Particles removed from the air are likely to include airborne allergens, so ionisers may achieve an effect by reducing the allergen load. METHODS The effect of ionisers on airborne concentrations of house dust mite allergen Der p I was investigated in a double blind, crossov...
متن کاملInvestigation into Single Scattering Properties of Airborne Saharan Dust Particles
The phase functions of single mineral dust particles levitated in an electrodynamic balance have been measured. Normalized phase functions and the asymmetry parameter could be determined because nearly the full range of scattering angles was available: 0.5° to 177°. The particles have been characterized using microscopy.
متن کاملNocturnal thoracoabdominal asynchrony in house dust mite-sensitive nonhuman primates
Nocturnal bronchoconstriction is a common symptom of asthma in humans, but is poorly documented in animal models. Thoracoabdominal asynchrony (TAA) is a noninvasive clinical indication of airway obstruction. In this study, respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) was used to document nocturnal TAA in house dust mite (HDM)-sensitive Cynomolgus macaques. Dynamic compliance (C(dyn)) and lung re...
متن کاملHouse dust mite allergy
The importance of the allergens in sensitisation and disease can be readily demonstrated in regions with and without mite infestation. Dose-responce relationships in regions with high infestation are less easy to detect pointing to the importance of variations of other factors. The relationship between allergic disease and IgE antibody shows that only people with very high responses become pers...
