Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a hydrophilic polymer well known for good film forming properties, high water vapor permeance JW, and low nitrogen permeance. However, depending on molar mass temperature, PVA swells strongly in until complete dissolution. This behavior affects the usability of aqueous environments makes cross-linking necessary if higher structural integrity envisaged. In this work, n...

BACKGROUND The heterogeneous patterns of symptoms among factory workers exposed to aerosols from contaminated air humidifiers were analysed to assess the association between specific symptoms and the serum IgG antibody response to the humidifier water contaminants, and to test the ability of specific symptoms to predict this antibody response. METHODS Symptoms from 88 factory workers were sur...

BACKGROUND Minimizing total respiratory heat loss is an important goal during mechanical ventilation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether changes in tracheal temperature (a clinical parameter that is easy to measure) are reliable indices of total respiratory heat loss in mechanically ventilated patients. METHOD Total respiratory heat loss was measured, with three different me...
