Methodological quality of systematic reviews on treatments in stroke rehabilitation: A cross‐sectional study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Although high‐quality systematic reviews (SRs) could provide reliable evidence on the effectiveness of stroke rehabilitation treatments, methodological flaws may weaken their trustworthiness. This study aimed to evaluate the methodological quality of an up‐to‐date sample of SRs on stroke rehabilitation treatments. Literature survey A

Lung Restriction From Childhood Is Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Middle‐Age

Respirology, EarlyView.
Presence of lung restriction may raise the suspicion of obstructive sleep apnoea in middle‐age, and vice versa. Investigating for one when the other is present could be beneficial to detect undiagnosed morbidity. ABSTRACT Background and Objective Whether lifetime lung function trajectories and spirometry patterns are associated with Obstructive Sleep ...

Towards Responsible Mining in Africa: Problematising the Environmental and Public Health Concerns of Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining in Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been emerging media reports on the impact of cyanide and mercury use in artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) operations on community health, especially among pregnant and non‐pregnant women, ASGM miners, and children in rural Africa.

Occupational asthma

Occupational exposures cause 10-15% of new-onset asthma in adults, and that represents a considerable health and economic burden. Exposure to many causative agents is now well controlled but workplace practices are constantly evolving and new hazards ...

The usefulness of bronchial challenge tests in the diagnosis of occupational asthma

Medycyna Pracy, 2018
Bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is the individual ability to respond with bronchoconstriction to a variety of specific and nonspecific stimuli which do not cause these symptoms among healthy subjects.

Detection and Inhalation Hazard Assessment of Wear Particles Arising From Abrasion of Market‐relevant Graphene Reinforced Composites

Small, EarlyView.
Abrasion of few‐layer graphene (FLG)–epoxy composites generated respirable particles in which FLG remained fully embedded, as confirmed by correlative HR‑TEM, Raman, and ToF‑SIMS analyses. Advanced lung cell models revealed no cytotoxic or inflammatory responses, and only high‑dose epoxy particles reduced mucociliary clearance.

Sargassum Lung Syndrome: Air Flow Obstruction and Bronchial Inflammation Are Observed After Prolonged Exposure to Sargassum Gas Emissions in the Eastern Caribbean

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sargassum inundation of Caribbean and American shorelines is a growing environmental hazard. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3) produced by decomposing Sargassum could be involved in airway obstruction and bronchial inflammation. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of exposure to H2S and NH3 gases emitted during Sargassum ...

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Integrated Approach to Diagnosis of Associated Occupational Asthma and Rhinitis

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2012
Patients with coexisting work-related rhinitis and asthma would benefit from an adequate and simultaneous recognition of both diseases. The present case illustrates the advantages and importance of using an integrated approach to confirm a diagnosis of ...
