To examine whether the actual dimensions of human facial features are important to the development of a low-velocity inhalable particulate mass sampling criterion, this study evaluated the effect of facial feature dimensions (nose and lips) on estimates of aspiration efficiency of inhalable particles using computational fluid dynamics modeling over a range of indoor air and breathing velocities...

Abstract To explore the differential impact of job automation for different groups primary and secondary school students, an analysis variance was conducted using survey data on occupational aspirations British students (aged 7–18) probability statistics derived from a model automation. Results indicated that aged 13 years old above were more than twice as likely to express aspiration associate...

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a rare (incidence 1.0%-2.5%), often under-diagnosed disease, caused by the aspiration and accumulation of exogenous lipids within the pulmonary alveoli. Various cases have been described due to inhalation of lubricants via the nasal passages and oropharynx, aspiration of mineral oils in laxatives in patients with eating disorders, application of lip gloss, oc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the validity and reliability of the Swallowing Assessment of Saliva in detection of aspiration risk. DESIGN Validation study. SETTING Inpatient neurorehabilitation centre. SUBJECTS Adult patients with acquired brain injury. A total of 43 patients for concurrent validity and 33 other patients for inter-rater reliability. INTERVENTIONS Concurrent validity was esta...

New instruments iire described for the measurement of both job-related and non-job int-nta! health. These cover two axes of affective well-being, based upon dimensions of pleasure and arousal, and aLso reported competence, aspiration and negative job carry-over. Baseline data are presented from a sample of I6S6 job-holders, and earlier uses ot the well-being scales are summarized. The instrumen...
