Identification of pesticide exposure determinants has become an issue in explaining variability and improving control measures. Most studies have been conducted industrialized countries. The aim this study was to identify relevant dermal among Nicaraguan subsistence farmers.Field data on possible were collected during 32 applications through observation supplementary videorecording. A multistep reduction strategy brought down the 110 potential 27 variables, which grouped as worksite, spray...
Background and objectives: We modified Fenske's semi-quantitative ‘visual scoring system’ of fluorescent tracer deposited on the skin pesticide applicators evaluated its reproducibility in Nicaraguan setting. Methods: The body surface 33 farmers, divided into 31 segments, was videotaped field after spraying with a solution containing tracer. A portable UV lamp used for illumination foldaway dark room. videos five farmers were randomly selected. based matrix extension patterns (scale 0–5)...
Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is a common treatment option for people with diabetes (PWD), but failures pose significant challenge, leading to hyperglycemia, burnout, and increased hospitalizations. Current CSII pumps' occlusion alarm systems are limited in detecting failures; therefore, more effective detection method needed.
This study evaluates respiratory symptoms, lung function, and exposure to airborne particles among waste-picking children. We enrolled 103 children at a dump in Managua, Nicaragua who do not pick waste. Exposure was assessed by area sampling. Health data were obtained from questionnaire, clinical examination, spirometry. effects evaluated with multivariate regression analysis. exceeded national international standards. Wheezing related status, are both "never highly exposed" "ever having...
This investigation quantitatively assessed hand residues of chlorpyrifos and methamidophos in a field setting sought to explain the through application volume determinants exposure using data for 28 subsistence farmers Pacific Region Nicaragua. Hand were estimated by recovery pesticides standardized wipe sampling both hands, analyzed with solvent extraction gas chromatography electron capture detector. Application volumes based on individual spraying rates mixing volumes. Eleven exposure,...
La validez de los indicadores exposición es una condición necesaria en epidemiología si se han obtener resultados válidos la medición riesgos asociados con a agentes nocivos el entorno laboral. Sin embargo, llevar cabo validación estos exposiciones pasadas no tarea fácil. Debido falta mediciones referencia ámbito higiene industrial y concentraciones representativas bioindicadores que reflejen las pasadas, método autoinformes ha utilizado para recoger datos indirectos. No obstante, acerca...
Aim: To identify IPISF occurrence and troubleshooting methods, determine habits perceptions of diabetes technology use, assess the history satisfaction education in those who utilize CSII. Methods: A 57-item online survey was constructed included demographic questions, assessment with Likert scales, open-ended questions regarding infusion sets. Participants were recruited via T1D Exchange community database. Statistical analysis performed using R JMP. Results: total 715 individuals surveyed...
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been recently identified as a strong driver for future development of chronic disease (CKD). Heat stress and repeated dehydration, associated with strenuous labor in agricultural lowlands pointed out risk factor AKI which turn could be responsible the high prevalence CKD among workers both Nicaragua El Salvador. Methods: Several cross-sectional studies function (i.e. estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR) various occupations (including...
ISEE-288 More than 400,000 pesticide poisonings annually, a majority work-related, have been the setting for developing research and intervention strategies in Central American countries. Three programs played major role documenting use health effects establishing solutions: Occupational Environmental Health Program at National Autonomous University León, Nicaragua, Institute Studies on Toxic Substances Universidad Nacional Heredia, Costa Rica, PLAGSALUD, project funded by DANIDA run PAHO....
Oral contraceptive pill is the most prescribed option to avoid birth-rate around world. It a combination of estrogens/progestin. Unfortunately, new combinations raise risk thrombosis. To determine prescription profile and incidence thrombotic events associated oral use, we developed present study. Method: drug utilization study among beneficiaries Buenos Aires Social Security Organization. Variables studied were age, sex, consumed, doses, co-morbidities, events.Results: 69,653 women enrolled...
Aim: IPISF can be a life-threatening complication and remains serious issue for individuals who utilize automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. This study assessed the emotional burden of how infusion failure affects sentiment towards pump use. Methods: 50 follow-on interviews (10/2020 - 05/2021) were performed with Caregivers (CG) People Diabetes (PWD) from 2020 Diatech T1D Exchange Insulin Pump Infusion Set Failure Management Survey. Participants consented to 1-hour video call interview...
