Everyone is Sick-Is it the office Air Quality?
Is Office Environment Related To Office Illnesses? Everyone is sick but do they all have the same symptoms? Headaches, flu, itchy skin, sore throats, asthma, COPD, cancer, appendicitis! That’s very important! It’s unlikely if the symptoms are different. If everyone has sore throats or upper respiratory irritation then it may be the building such as low humidity. Usually, the symptoms ...

Glutaraldehyde – Health Hazards in Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
Glutaraldehyde is very similar to Formaldehyde in its structure and uses in the healthcare industry. Chemically, Glutaraldehyde exists at room temperature as a liquid, whereas Formaldehyde exists under those conditions as a gas, which can easily be dissolved in water. Glutaraldehyde is very similar to formaldehyde in its structure and uses in the healthcare industry. Chemically, glutaraldehyde ...

Formaldehyde – a dangerous chemical
It’s amazing all the places that formaldehyde is found. It’s best known uses are in insulating material and particleboard. The most publicized use has been in manufactured homes and mobile homes. FEMA has been overwhelmed with actions related to exposure to formaldehyde in temporary housing for Hurricane Katrina survivors, and other disasters. There are both short term and long ...

Myths vs Facts: HPV and Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting and causing deaths among women in India. Cervical cancer is caused by the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. The lower part of the uterus known as Cervix is affected due to HPV infection. This cancer develops very slowly and most of the times is asymptomatic during the development stage. HPV infection is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) ...

Design and analysis of nanowire sensor array for prostate cancer detection
Prostate cancer is one of the major cancer affecting men in India. After lung cancer, prostate cancer has caused large number of deaths in India. Nanowire is the biosensor used for detection of cancer. In this paper, we present a design of nanowire array sensor for prostate cancer detection. A sensor array of 8 × 8 elements is designed to capture the PSA present in the blood that helps in ...

Formaldehyde – Protecting Hospital Workers
Formaldehyde health and safety is vital since the chemical has many uses in the healthcare industry, not just preserving bodies in the morgue. Formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant as well as a tissue preservative. As a tissue preservative, it can be found in histology labs where tissues are sectioned and prepared for microscopic analysis. Of course, autopsies can also subject the examiner and ...

WHO report on diesel fumes puts sharp focus on need for effective monitoring
The World Health Organisation this month reclassified the dangers of diesel exhaust fumes, upgrading the risk from probably carcinogenic to a definite cause of cancer. The WHO report is based on the findings of research on workers in high risk areas, and puts a sharp focus on the need for effective monitoring in industries such as mining, rail, transportation, construction, power generation and ...

Gold nanoparticle–based platforms as cancer–targeted molecules delivery systems
Cancer is a major cause of deaths. More recently, drug delivery systems (DDSs) using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been widely developed in cancer therapy for their easily synthesised, functionalised, better biocompatible, and low toxicity properties. Gold nanoparticle–based platforms as cancer–targeted molecules delivery to tumour tissues have been proposed as an effective strategy by ...

Nanotechnology in cancer prevention, detection and treatment: bright future lies ahead
This paper is an overview of advances and prospects in applications of nanotechnology for cancer prevention, detection and treatment. We begin with a brief description of the underlying causes of cancer. Then we address preventive treatment, disease-time treatment, and diagnosis in the context of some of the most recent advances in nanotechnology. Nanoparticle science is also briefly addressed as ...

Array-based Methylation Detection Explores the Mysteries of Cancer
Epigenetics is an emerging field of research that focuses on the effects of environmental factors, such as infections, pollutants, stress, and long-term drug exposure, on an individual's genome. Epigenetic changes do not alter the structure of DNA, but do alter the way DNA is modified. Thereby, those changes include DNA methylation, histone modifications and non-coding RNAs. affects gene ...

Defining Oncology and Aging
Cancer survival rates decrease with age, in part because the efficacy of cancer therapies declines in older individuals. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy wreak havoc on the immune system, kill both healthy and cancerous cells alike and cause a buildup of cellular waste in the tissue. This residual waste needs to be either removed from the body or efficiently restored to its original ...

New Breast Imaging Technology: The Koning Difference
Revolutionizing breast cancer detection Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women.1 It is also treatable if detected early enough. While there are various cancer detection modalities available, current breast imaging devices fail to expose as much as 35% of breast cancers and that number increases to ...

Cancer incidence in areas with elevated levels of natural radiation
It has been reported that on reaching a certain level of cell damage the production of repair enzymes is triggered which decreases the chromosome aberrations. If this happens, prolonged exposure to high levels of natural radiation in areas with elevated levels of background radiation could decrease the frequency of chromosome aberrations. Recent epidemiological studies indicated that there is an ...

A Plant Immune Protein May be Expected to Completely Cure Cancer!
Cancer, caused by abnormal cell proliferation, is one of the world's major public health problems. Recently, in a research report entitled "A plant immune protein enables broad antitumor response by rescuing microRNA deficiency" published in Cell, Scientists from institutions such as Peking University have found that a special plant immune protein may achieve a broad spectrum of anti-tumor ...

Link Between Periodontal Disease and Oral Cancer
There is a strong relationship between periodontal disease and oral cancer. In patients with tongue cancer, the periodontal disease preceded the tongue cancer. Although periodontal disease and oral cancers are both located in the mouth, until recently, there was never thought to be a connection between the two. New evidence is coming to light to show that those with periodontal disease increase ...
