Minimizing Occupational Exposure to Biohazards [PDF]

Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2007
Exposure to body fluids via needlestick injury or otherwise is a risk inherent to interventional radiology. Although the incidence of occupational exposure to biohazards appears to be decreasing in the era of universal precautions, in IR, safety needles are the exception rather than the rule. In the United States, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency

In Vivo Microplastic Detection With Photoacoustic Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are posing an escalating threat to both ecological systems and human health. Yet, current methods for investigating their bioaccumulation are highly invasive, requiring destructive analysis of ex vivo tissues via mass spectrometry, dye labelling, or Raman microspectroscopy.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction Unravels the Potential Molecular Link Between Night Shift Work‐Related Circadian Disruption and Elevated Blood Pressure in Human and Mouse Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that night shift work disrupts circadian clock genes (like CLOCK, BMAL1) in both humans and mice. This disruption leads to mitochondrial dysfunction (imbalanced fusion/fission proteins) and increased oxidative stress, which is identified as the primary mechanism ultimately causing elevated blood pressure.

Cigarette smoking decreases macrophage-dependent clearance to impact the biological effects of occupational and environmental particle exposures

Frontiers in Public Health
The retention of occupational and environmental particles in the lung is a primary determinant of biological effects. In the distal respiratory tract, particle clearance includes phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages (AMs), migration to the terminal ...

Occupational Exposures to Ebola Virus in Ebola Treatment Center, Conakry, Guinea

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
We report 77 cases of occupational exposures for 57 healthcare workers at the Ebola Treatment Center in Conakry, Guinea, during the Ebola virus disease outbreak in 2014−2015. Despite the high incidence of 3.5 occupational exposures/healthcare worker/year,

Assessing occupational and environmental exposure [PDF]

Occupational Medicine, 2005
Exposure assessment is a poorly understood component of the science of epidemiology. The relationship between exposure to chemicals and ill-health outcomes is often calculated using crude exposure measures such as ever/never exposed or duration. When investigating subtle effects, exposures need to be characterized much more fully in terms of intensity,
