To assess whether smoking cessation after an ischemic stroke or TIA improves outcomes compared to continued smoking. We conducted a prospective observational cohort study of 3,876 nondiabetic men and women enrolled in the Insulin Resistance Intervention After Stroke (IRIS) trial who were randomized pioglitazone placebo within 180 days qualifying followed up for median 4.8 years. A tobacco use history was obtained at baseline updated during annual interviews. The primary outcome, which not...
Summary Objective: Review our institutional experience with an alternative to fiberoptic‐guided endobronchial intubation. Aim: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was present the use fluoroscopy facilitate lung isolation in infants undergoing thoracoscopic procedures. Background: Anesthesiologists are more frequently being asked anesthetize and small children for surgery. Typically, intubation or bronchial blockers utilized achieve during these However, sometimes complicated anatomy...
Occupational exposure to crystalline silica has been linked silicosis, some forms of cancer, and certain autoimmune diseases. Little information exists on levels respirable in the agricultural industry. This study assessed farm workers eastern North Carolina. Sandy soils this region have shown contain high silica. Personal breathing zone samples (n=37) were collected from 27 at seven farms during various activities. The highest concentrations measured sweet potato transplanting (3.91±2.07...
To obtain quantitative efficacy data of two ultraviolet light (UVC) technologies for surface inactivation Bacillus anthracis Ames and atrophaeus spores.Spores were deposited onto test coupons controls four different materials, via liquid suspension or aerosol deposition. The then exposed to UVC from either a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp system comprised emitting diodes, with range dosages. Positive held at ambient conditions not light. Following exposure UVC, spores recovered the was...
At least one type of publication becomes important in some way to most writers involved with prescription drugs. I have mind the monographs addressed physicians and inserted into drug packages by manufacturers. These documents are technically part "labeling" respective drugs, as such, their content is subject regulation Food Drug Administration (FDA) under Federal Food, Drug, Cosmetic Act. Their purported mission inform about properties drugs thus lead judicious prescribing practices. During...
An accidental radiological release or the operation of a dispersal device (RDD) may lead to contamination large area. Such scenarios health and safety risks associated with resuspension contaminated particles due aeolian (wind-induced) soil erosion tracking activities. Stabilization technologies limiting are therefore needed avoid spreading reduce exposures first responders decontamination workers. Resuspension testing was performed on soils from two sites Negev Desert following treatment...
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised interest in using chemical air treatments as part of a strategy to reduce the risk disease transmission, but more information is needed characterize their efficacy at scales translatable applied settings and develop standardized test methods for characterizing performance these products. Grignard Pure, triethylene glycol (TEG) active ingredient treatment, was evaluated two different protocols large bioaerosol chamber observed inactivate bacteriophage MS2 (up...

Abstract The impact of water and the wet–dry cycle was examined as a potential mitigation solution to pathogenic bacterial spore transport inhalation risk via resuspension spores from surfaces due human activities. In this study, fine mist distributed onto hydrophilic surface represent conditions during dew or fog. Resuspension experiments were conducted on clean dusty while they wet after drying. These results directly compared that had not been subjected any treatment determine an absolute...
Introduction Epilepsy surgery is the only curative treatment for patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) gold standard to delineate seizure-onset zone (SOZ). However, up 40% of are subsequently not operated as no non-eloquent SOZ can be identified. The 5-SENSE Score a 5-point score predict whether likely identified by SEEG. This study aims validate Score, improve performance incorporating auxiliary diagnostic methods and evaluate its concordance...
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many supply chain issues, including crippling of essential personal protective equipment (PPE) needed for high-risk occupations such as those healthcare. As a result these unprecedented crisis capacity strategies were implemented to divert PPE items filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs, namely N95s) who them most protection. Large-scale methods decontamination used throughout the world preserve and provided their extended use. general public also adopted...
The application of stabilization technologies to a radiologically contaminated surface has the potential for reducing spread contamination and, as result, decreasing worker exposure radiation. Three technologies, calcium chloride (CaCl2), flame retardant Phos-Chek® MVP-Fx, and Soil2O™ were investigated evaluate their ability reduce resuspension tracking radiological during response activities such vehicle foot traffic. Concrete pavers, asphalt sandy soil walking paths used test surfaces,...
Among the intestinal parasitic infestations extant in this country, whipworm disease (trichuriasis) has been one especially difficult to manage. Treatment failures have common with available drugs. Although dithiazanine iodide (Delvex) apparently was quite effective, it produced some unfortunate toxic effects and is no longer marketed.<sup>1</sup> A notable advance treatment of appears imminent. In issue ofThe Journal(p 1408, p 1412), Miller et al Wolfe Wershing report gratifying results a...
