Allergenic pollen is produced by the flowers of a number trees, grasses and weeds found throughout UK. Exposure to such grains can exacerbate pollen-related asthma allergenic conditions as allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Maps showing location these taxa have many applications: they be used provide advice on risk assessments; combined with health data inform research impacts respiratory hospital admissions; weather improve forecasting systems; or inputs emission models. In this study we...
Exposure to pollen can contribute increased hospital admissions for asthma exacerbation. This study applied an ecological time series analysis examine associations between atmospheric concentrations of different types and the risk hospitalization in London from 2005 2011. The examined short-term daily counts presence seasonal long-term patterns, allowed lags exposure admission. Models were adjusted temperature, precipitation, humidity, day week, air pollutants. Analyses revealed association...
Management of the natural and built environments can help reduce health impacts climate change. This is particularly relevant in large cities where urban heat island makes warmer than surrounding areas. We investigate how vegetation, housing characteristics socio-economic factors modify association between exposure mortality a area.We linked 185,397 death records from Greater London area during May-Sept 2007-2016 to high resolution daily temperature dataset. then applied conditional logistic...
Hay fever patients can be helped in managing their symptoms by predicting the severity of upcoming grass pollen seasons.

Abstract. There is a clear need for the development of modelling frameworks both climate change and air quality to help inform policies addressing these issues simultaneously. This paper presents an initial attempt develop single framework, by introducing greater degree consistency in meteorological framework using two-step, one-way nested configuration models, from global composition-climate model (GCCM) (140 km resolution) regional covering Europe (RCCM) (50 finally high (12 km) resolution...
We present the first lensing mass measurements of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected clusters. Using optical imaging from Southern Cosmology Survey (SCS), we weak masses for three clusters by their SZ emission in South Pole Telescope survey (SPT). confirm that selection procedure is successful detecting concentrations. also study signals 38 optically-selected ~8 square degrees SCS survey. fit Navarro, Frenk and White (NFW) profiles find have amongst largest masses, as high 5x10^14 Msun. best...
Objectives To identify key predictors of general practitioner (GP) consultations for allergic rhinitis (AR) using meteorological and environmental data. Design A retrospective, time series analysis GP AR. Setting large surveillance network practices in the London area. Participants The study population was all persons who presented to that report Public Health England in-hours syndromic system during period (3 April 2012 11 August 2014). Primary measure Consultations AR (numbers...
Abstract Grass pollen is the world’s most harmful outdoor aeroallergen and sensitivity varies between species. Different species of grass flower at different times, but it not known how airborne communities change in time space. Persistence high mobility could result increasingly diverse seasonal communities. Conversely, if does persist for an extended air, shifting would be predicted throughout summer months. Here, using targeted throughput sequencing, we tracked progression Poaceae...

PDS 75: Microbiome, infections and respiratory effects, Johan Friso Foyer, Floor 1, August 27, 2019, 1:30 PM - 3:00 Background/Aim: While grass pollen is currently measured as a single entity, many different species of exist that may increase the risk asthma to varying degrees. Increases in emergency hospital admittance was noted period 6th 30th June several years. We hypothesize during season (April September) certain periods will see increased exacerbations this due presence are more...

Understanding of relative contributions different grass taxa health outcomes currently unknown. We investigate associations between a range genera proxies both exacerbation (hospital admissions) response (prescribing rates). A better...
Introduction A high proportion of the UK population has been reported as allergic to pollen. These have increased in prevalence quickly over last 20 years. Pollen from trees is released March May period and grass pollen output mid-May July most It highly variable on a daily basis due number factors including latitude, altitude, phenology weather. Factors that could be important influencing pollen-asthma associations include precipitation, thunderstorms, wind, periods dry weather, heat....
