AIMS To determine evidence-based strategies for pre-placement and periodic health assessments for workers exposed to laboratory animals. METHODS Literature was searched systematically using Medline and EM...
متن کاملA strategy for health surveillance in laboratory animal workers exposed to high molecular weight allergens.
AIMS To develop a health surveillance strategy with the use of diagnostic and prognostic prediction models to detect and predict occupational allergic diseases efficiently. METHODS Data from laboratory animal workers (n = 351) participating in an ongoing cohort study were used to develop diagnostic and prognostic models with logistic regression analyses. A diagnostic model was developed from ...

متن کاملSpreading of occupational allergens: laboratory animal allergens on hair-covering caps and in mattress dust of laboratory animal workers.
BACKGROUND Family members of laboratory animal workers are at risk of developing allergy to laboratory animals. Little is known about the spreading of laboratory animal allergens outside the animal facilities. OBJECTIVE To assess the presence of laboratory animal allergens in dust collected from mattresses of laboratory animal workers and unexposed controls. METHODS Mouse and rat urinary pr...
متن کاملExposure-response relations among laboratory animal workers exposed to rats.
AIM To explore exposure-response relations in a cohort of laboratory animal workers. METHODS Exposure-response modelling was carried out in a cohort of 342 laboratory animal workers. Three exposure indices, divided into different exposure categories, were used in the analyses: intensity of exposure to rat urinary aeroallergen (RUA, the main allergen workers were exposed to), weekly duration o...
