BACKGROUND Clothing is largely presumed as being the mechanism by which house dust mites are distributed among locations in homes, yet little research to date has investigated the capacity with which various clothing fabric types serve as vectors for their accumulation and dispersal. Although previous research has indicated that car seats provide a habitat for mite populations, dynamics involve...

The bleachery procedure is the most frequent method used to decolorize denims since sandblasting has been shown to cause silicosis. The aim of this study was to determined the prevalence of occupational asthma among denim bleachery workers in Kayseri. The study was conducted in 4 factories, in which jean bleachery was performed, in Kayseri between December 2008 and February 2009. Overall, forty...

BACKGROUND Adrenaline autoinjectors (AAIs) are prescribed to facilitate the intramuscular administration of adrenaline in patients diagnosed with life-threatening anaphylaxis. This pilot study investigated the injection and functional properties of two AAIs (deploying different delivery systems) under standard conditions, after dynamic and mechanical stresses, and in the presence of denim. ME...

Workers in denim sandblasting are at a high risk of developing silicosis, an occupational lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. The development and progress of silicosis is associated with the activation of the immune system and oxidative stress. In the former, interferon-gamma induces both neopterin release and the enzyme indoleamine [2, 3]-dioxygenase (IDO) in various cells...

Bu çalışmada, bir denim konfeksiyon işletmesinde iş istasyonlarına göre, elle ve otomatik olarak yapılan işlerin zaman etüdü yapılmış kıyaslanmıştır. Dikim bölümünde işlem zorluğu süresinin uzunluğu nedeni ile otomatlara ihtiyaç duyulan işlemler de etüt edilmiştir. Yapılan etütler sonucu dikimhanede kullanılan otomatlarda süresi açısından en düşük iyileşme yüzdesi %28,94 rivet çakma otomatında ...

Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart, 1897) (Acariformes: Astigmata: Pyroglyphidae) is amongst the most common house dust mites (HDMs) species in Europe. Vacuuming commonly employed as a method for recovery subsequent quantification of mite densities. The vacuuming protocols and their efficiencies are frequently unreported. In this study, constant-flow vacuum sampler was used to evaluate ...

OBJECTIVE Occupational lung disease due to silica dust is one of the most common work-related injuries. In denim sandblasting, workers are exposed to silica that may cause immediate mortality, especially in young people. The aim of this study was to assess the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings of silicosis in denim sandblasters and to better define the role of MDCT in the early ...

Abstract More than one billion pieces of denim are sold every year. The consumptions from North America 39%, West Europe 20%, East Asia and the rest it, including Indonesia, is 13%. This study aims to know comparation between waste become particle boards toward SNI as a national standard through several variables. variables water content, thickness increment, density, acidity, alkalinity resist...
