Short term exposure to airborne microbial agents during farm work: exposure-response relations with eye and respiratory symptoms.
OBJECTIVES Exposure to high levels of non-infectious microbial agents is recognised as a cause of respiratory disease in working populations, but except for endotoxins, little is known about exposure-response relations. As these effects do not depend on viability, exposure to non-viable microbial agents is important. Various methods not based on microbial cultures were explored to study the com...
متن کاملAltered susceptibility to viral respiratory infection during short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide.
The studies reported here focus on the relation of nitrogen dioxide exposure to susceptibility to viral respiratory infection in a murine model of pneumonia, created by intratracheal inoculation of an endogenous murine pathogen, mouse cytomegalovirus. The purpose of this work is to clarify the potential role of nitrogen dioxide exposure in the pathogenesis of viral infection of the lower respir...
متن کاملClose to optimal decentralized routing in long-range contact networks
In order to explain the ability of individuals to find short paths to route messages to an unknown destination, based only on their own local view of a social network (the small world phenomenon), Kleinberg (2000) proposed a network model based on a d-dimensional lattice of size n augmented with k long range directed links per node. Individuals behavior is modeled by a greedy algorithm that, gi...
متن کاملClose Contact Fluctuations: Time of Contact
The letter resolves the long standing debate as to the proper time scale (< τ >) of the onset of the immunological synapse (IS) bond, the non-covalent chemical bond defining the immune pathways involving T-cells and antigen presenting cells (APC). Results from our model calculations show < τ > to be of the order of seconds instead of minutes. Close to the linearly stable regime, we show that in...
متن کاملEmergency vaccination alleviates highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection after contact exposure
BACKGROUND To assess the effectiveness of emergency vaccination for reducing the contact-induced infection and pathological damage caused by the highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (HPPRRSV), Twenty pigs were equally divided into four groups. Groups 1, 2 and 3 were housed in one unit, whereas Group 4 was separately housed. Group 1 was challenged with HPPRRSV on...
