Indoor exposure to mould allergens.
Humid indoor environments may be colonised by allergenic filamentous microfungi (moulds), Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., Cladosporium spp., and Alternaria spp. in particular. Mould-induced respiratory diseases are a worldwide problem. In the last two decades, mould allergens and glucans have been used as markers of indoor exposure to moulds. Recently, mould allergens Alt a 1 (Alternaria al...
متن کاملAssociation between domestic mould and mould components, and asthma and allergy in children: a systematic review.
Critical reviews over the past 10 yrs have found increased respiratory and allergic health outcomes for children living in damp and mouldy environments. However, recent studies have suggested that early childhood exposure to specific mould components may actually protect children from developing allergy. We conducted a systematic review of observational studies published in English from January...
متن کاملExperimental model of mould filling flow
The aim of our analysis is to provide a simple experimental model simulating the main flow characteristics accompanying casting processes. Hence, a hot liquid is provided under high pressure into an inclined box. The liquid propagates inside the box between two cold isothermal walls, passing obstacles simulating internal complexity of a mould. The main features of the experiment like flow accel...
متن کاملMould and yeast species contaminating Norwegian dry-cured meat products
Dry-cured meat production has a long tradition in Norway. Presently, the annual production is around 1700 tons with an approximate per capita consumption of 0.5 kilos. However, many producers are facing a significant quality and economic problems due to uncontrolled fungal growth. With the aim of assessing the diversity of fungi contaminating Norwegian dry-cured meat products, 72 samples were c...
متن کاملIn Methuselah's Mould
T he pathologist makes do with red wine until an effective drug is available, the biochemist discards the bread from her sandwiches, and the mathematician indulges in designer chocolate with a clear conscience. The demographer sticks to vitamin supplements, and while the evolutionary biologist calculates the compensations of celibacy, the population biologist transplants gonads, but so far only...
