Dosimetry of internal exposure of respiratory tract to incorporated plutonium
ICRP Publication 66 that had adopted a new approach to estimate dose to lungs and an extrathoracic region based on a revised human respiratory tract model was considered by the authors to address some aspects related to application of ICRP 66 in radiation safety practices. Comparison of committed equivalent doses received to the lungs following acute inhalation of plutonium-239 aerosols with ...

Immunostimulants in the prevention of respiratory infections
Immunomodulation promises to be an effective prophylactic and therapeutic modality for chronic and recurrent respiratory infections. As opposed to vaccines, the term Immunostimulant (IS) refers to a compound that produces a state of non-specific immunity. Most IS are oral formulations of bacterial lysates that have been used in clinical practice for decades. One of the main obstacles in the ...

Mechanism of action and therapeutic efficacy of the biotechnology-derived immunostimulating extract OM-85 in respiratory tract infections
The burden of Respiratory Tract Infections (RTIs) in children and adults is very high, especially in developing countries. At least 1.9 million children throughout the world died from acute RTIs in 2000, 70% of them in Africa and Southeast Asia. As causative therapies of these frequently recurring infections have substantial limits, preventive measures deserve priority. Among these, non-specific ...

Intermittent work at high altitude: a new epidemiological situation
A review of the epidemiological features of a new labour condition, namely, working intermittently at high altitude, is presented. A retrospective study was designed to compare mine employees living and working at 4,600 m and undergoing chronically intermittent exposure to high altitude with a similar group of workers at sea level, during 2 years. Overall 91,500 medical consultations were ...

Applications of 16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

VX400M with activated carbons, successfully applied to cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgeries involving laser and ectrosurgery activate thermal destruction of dermal tissue, producing harmful fumes. As a fact, exhalations coming from destroyed organic tissue can contain toxic gases, benzene fumes, hydrocyanic acid, formaldehyde, bio-aerosol and even cellular material alive or dead (including blood) and viruses. When inhaled in high concentrations, those fumes can ...

Inhalation vaccine promises to be a powerful tool in the prevention and control of Omicron
Omicron, as the most transmissible variant of SARS-CoV-2, is rapidly spreading over the world and has displaced Delta as the dominant strain in a number of regions. Some experts have indicated that mucosal immunization of the respiratory system with an inhaled form of the vaccine may be more efficient in dealing with the Omicron strain in light of recent results that demonstrate Omicron ...

How to Choose Antifreeze
Non-freezing liquid for cars is a product of mass use. It is not possible to do without it in the cold season, because this substance allows to keep car windshields clean, thereby providing good visibility to the driver and improving road safety. Today the market of automobile goods is quite diverse, so you can find antifreeze of both domestic and foreign production without any problem. We ...

Project - Sublingual Interferon-alfa (BL SLIT II)
We plan to develop sublingual interferon-alfa for the prevention of viral infections, such as influenza and coronaviruses (such as COVID-19). The rise in prevalence of viral respiratory infections in humans and increase in health care expenditure are projected to boost the growth of the global respiratory antiviral treatment market. Respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza ...

Quantitative Assessment of Viral Dispersion Associated with Respiratory Support Devices in a Simulated Critical Care Environmen
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...

Ideal COVID-19 Vaccine May Come from Alpacas, New Study Found
In response to the COVID-19 caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), there are currently many vaccines on the market worldwide. However, despite the fact that major manufacturers are working hard to produce vaccines, the speed of vaccination still cannot keep up with people's needs. At the same time, with the continuous emergence of mutant strains, the effectiveness of vaccines has begun to ...

Study on Partial Glycoprotein of Feline Herpesvirus Type 1
Feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) can cause acute and highly contagious infectious diseases in cats, namely feline infectious rhinotracheitis. In 1958, FHV-1 was isolated and identified for the first time from kittens suffering from respiratory diseases in the United States by Crandell et al. Clinical manifestations include keratoconjunctivitis, upper respiratory tract infection and miscarriage, ...
