The purpose of this article is to quantify the public health risk associated with inhalation indoor airborne infection based on a probabilistic transmission dynamic modeling approach. We used Wells-Riley mathematical model estimate (1) CO2 exposure concentrations in environments where cases occurred reported epidemiological data and epidemic curves for influenza severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), (2) basic reproductive number, R0 (i.e., expected number secondary introduction single...
Lead-exposed workers may suffer adverse health effects under the currently regulated blood lead (BPb) levels. However, a probabilistic assessment about exposure-associated anemia risk is lacking. The goal of this study was to examine association between exposure and among factory in Taiwan.We first collated BPb indicators hematopoietic function data via examination records that included 533 male 218 female lead-exposed 2012 2014. We used benchmark dose (BMD) modeling estimate critical effect...
ABSTRACT Background Cancer is a leading cause of death globally, with significant variations in incidence and mortality rates among different cancer types regions. In Taiwan, breast (BC), cervical (CxCa), colorectal (CRC), oral (OC) are prevalent have prompted government‐led screening programs to mitigate their impact. This study aims assess the burden these cancers at county scale using disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) as metric, focusing on 2010, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020. Methods Data...
Abstract The general objective of our work was to determine the acute toxicity and bioaccumulation arsenic (As) in tilapia ( Oreochromis mossambicus ) from blackfoot disease (BFD) area Taiwan. average concentration As pond water ranged 17.8 49 μg L −1 . Acute tests showed that caused 69 060 , 24‐h test, 28 680 96‐h test. We measured concentrations various tissues identify affinities for As. Significant correlations were found among all tissues. highest bioconcentration factor (BCF) intestine...
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects viral kinetics and exhaled droplet size on indoor transmission dynamics influenza infection. target cell-limited model with delayed virus production adopted strengthen inner mechanisms infection human epithelial cell. particle number volume involved in were linked Wells-Riley mathematical equation quantify risk. We investigated population a specific elementary school by using seasonal susceptible - exposed infected recovery (SEIR)...
Variety of environmental and individual factors can cause tuberculosis (TB) incidence change. The purpose this study was to assess the characteristics TB trends in period 2004 - 2008 Taiwan by month, year, gender, age, temperature, seasonality, aborigines.The generalized regression models were used examine potential predictors for monthly regional national scales.We found that (i) average 68 per 100,000 population with mortality rate 0.036 person-1 yr-1, (ii) highest eastern (116 population)...
SUMMARY We coupled the Wells–Riley equation and susceptible–exposed–infected–recovery (SEIR) model to quantify impact of combination indoor air-based control measures enhanced ventilation respiratory masking in containing pandemic influenza within an elementary school. integrated environmental factors a real school aetiological characteristics estimate age-specific risk infection ( P ) basic reproduction number R 0 ). combined rates 0·5, 1, 1·5, 2/h with 60%, 70%, 80%, 95% efficacies,...
Abstract: Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been widely used in consumer products, therapeutic agents, and drug delivery systems. However, the fate behavior of ZnO NPs living organisms are not well described. The purpose this study was to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model describe dynamic interactions 65 mice. We estimated key physicochemical parameters partition coefficients excretion or elimination rates, on our previously published data quantifying...
