Common household water-use activities such as showering, bathing, drinking, and washing clothes or dishes are potentially important contributors to individual exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs), the major class of disinfection by-products of water treated with chlorine. Previous studies have focused on showering or bathing activities. In this study, we selected 12 common water-use activities an...

OBJECTIVES Deep seawater (DSW) utilization technology has been developed for the fields of medicine and health, among others. To clarify the health effects of DSW as compared with surface seawater (SSW) or tap water (TW), we investigated the changes of immune cell distribution of the peripheral blood, or subjective judgment scores, after hot water bathing. METHODS Ten healthy young men were i...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is one of the major health emergencies for global society. Little is known about the ABR of environmental bacteria and therefore it is important to understand ABR reservoirs in the environment and their potential impact on health. METHOD/DESIGN Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected during a 3-year follow-up study of a river associated with ...

one of the sacred water tank brahmsarovar, at kurukshetra in india was studied to assess the impact of mass bathing during new moon day (called as amavasya in india) in terms of physico-chemical and biological characteristics. overall water quality index was calculated using online calculator. results have revealed significant (p

A patient who had complex partial seizures provoked by bathing is reported. All the attacks occurred during or immediately after bathing, irrespective of water temperature. The semiology was suggestive of a seizure focus in the mesial temporal lobe. Though there are some similarities with hot-water epilepsy, this case appears to be a distinct type of reflex epilepsy.

Bathing-related epilepsy (BRE), which is also known as water immersion epilepsy, is a rare, benign, reflex epilepsy. It presents with focal seizures that occur during bathing with hot water and has a favorable prognosis (1). The exact mechanism underlying these seizures is unknown (1). This epilepsy is frequently confused with hot water epilepsy (HWE) and is generally seen during childhood and ...

The importance of color and taste in feeding and drinking by omnivorous birds is context·dependent and influenced by learning. Here, we report three experiments designed to assess the influence of such characteristics on starlings. In Experiment 1, eight starlings were given a choice between bathing in red or plain water and 0.15 M NaCI solution or plain water. The frequencies of bathing, drink...

OBJECTIVES To examine the hypothesis that the use of a wash product formulated for newborn (<1 month of age) bathing is not inferior (no worse) to bathing with water only. DESIGN Assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled, noninferiority trial. SETTING A teaching hospital in the Northwest of England and in participants' homes. PARTICIPANTS Three-hundred-and-seven healthy, term infants recru...
