Indoor, outdoor, and regional summer and winter concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO4(2)-, H+, NH4+, NO3-, NH3, and nitrous acid in homes with and without kerosene space heaters. (1/492)
Twenty-four-hour samples of PM10 (mass of particles with aerodynamic diameter < or = 10 microm), PM2.5, (mass of particles with aerodynamic diameter < or = 2.5 microm), particle strong acidity (H+), sulfate (SO42-), nitrate (NO3-), ammonia (NH3), nitrous acid (HONO), and sulfur dioxide were collected inside and outside of 281 homes during winter and summer periods. Measurements were also conducted during summer periods at a regional site. A total of 58 homes of nonsmokers were sampled during the summer periods and 223 homes were sampled during the winter periods. Seventy-four of the homes sampled during the winter reported the use of a kerosene heater. All homes sampled in the summer were located in southwest Virginia. All but 20 homes sampled in the winter were also located in southwest Virginia; the remainder of the homes were located in Connecticut. For homes without tobacco combustion, the regional air monitoring site (Vinton, VA) appeared to provide a reasonable estimate of concentrations of PM2.5 and SO42- during summer months outside and inside homes within the region, even when a substantial number of the homes used air conditioning. Average indoor/outdoor ratios for PM2.5 and SO42- during the summer period were 1.03 +/- 0.71 and 0.74 +/- 0.53, respectively. The indoor/outdoor mean ratio for sulfate suggests that on average approximately 75% of the fine aerosol indoors during the summer is associated with outdoor sources. Kerosene heater use during the winter months, in the absence of tobacco combustion, results in substantial increases in indoor concentrations of PM2.5, SO42-, and possibly H+, as compared to homes without kerosene heaters. During their use, we estimated that kerosene heaters added, on average, approximately 40 microg/m3 of PM2.5 and 15 microg/m3 of SO42- to background residential levels of 18 and 2 microg/m3, respectively. Results from using sulfuric acid-doped Teflon (E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, DE) filters in homes with kerosene heaters suggest that acid particle concentrations may be substantially higher than those measured because of acid neutralization by ammonia. During the summer and winter periods indoor concentrations of ammonia are an order of magnitude higher indoors than outdoors and appear to result in lower indoor acid particle concentrations. Nitrous acid levels are higher indoors than outdoors during both winter and summer and are substantially higher in homes with unvented combustion sources. (+info)Human rabies--Virginia, 1998. (2/492)
On December 31, 1998, a 29-year-old man in Richmond, Virginia, died from rabies encephalitis caused by a rabies virus variant associated with insectivorous bats. This report summarizes the clinical and epidemiologic investigations by the Virginia Department of Health and CDC. (+info)Neighborhood safety and the prevalence of physical inactivity--selected states, 1996. (3/492)
Physical inactivity is an important risk factor for premature morbidity and mortality, especially among high-risk populations. Although health-promotion programs have targeted high-risk groups (i.e., older adults, women, and racial/ethnic minorities), barriers exist that may affect their physical activity level. Identifying and reducing specific barriers (e.g., lack of knowledge of the health benefits of physical activity, limited access to facilities, low self-efficacy, and environmental issues [2-6]) are important for efforts designed to increase physical activity. Concerns about neighborhood safety may be a barrier to physical activity. To characterize the association between neighborhood safety and physical inactivity, CDC analyzed data from the 1996 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in Maryland, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This report summarizes the results of this analysis, which indicate that persons who perceived their neighborhood to be unsafe were more likely to be physically inactive. (+info)The extent of drug therapy for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder among children in public schools. (4/492)
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of medication use for attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in southeastern Virginia. METHODS: Students enrolled in grades 2 through 5 in school districts in city A (n = 5767 students) and city B (n = 23,967 students) were included. Nurses recorded students who received ADHD medication in school. RESULTS: The proportion of students receiving ADHD medication was similar in both cities (8% and 10%) and was 2 to 3 times as high as the expected rate of ADHD. Receipt of drug therapy was associated with social and educational characteristics. Medication was used by 3 times as many boys as girls and by twice as many Whites as Blacks. Medication use increased with years in school, and by fifth grade 18% to 20% of White boys were receiving ADHD medication. Being young for one's grade was positively associated with medication use (P < .01). The prevalence of ADHD was 12% in district A, 63% in district B. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that criteria for diagnosis of ADHD vary substantially across US populations, with potential overdiagnosis and overtreatment of ADHD in some groups of children. (+info)Evaluation of a data warehouse in an academic health sciences center. (5/492)
A data warehouse can provide significant benefits to a health care organization if successfully designed and implemented. The Clinical Data Repository (CDR) at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center improves access to needed data for clinical research and effective decision making at many levels of the organization. We conducted an evaluation of the CDR using a survey questionnaire and interviews of key executive leaders. Our results suggest factors that influence the initial decision to use an information resource, examine the impact of communication channels, and highlight key issues that determine the continued use and ultimate success of a healthcare data warehouse. (+info)Determining sources of fecal pollution in a rural Virginia watershed with antibiotic resistance patterns in fecal streptococci. (6/492)
Nonpoint sources of pollution that contribute fecal bacteria to surface waters have proven difficult to identify. Knowledge of pollution sources could aid in restoration of the water quality, reduce the amounts of nutrients leaving watersheds, and reduce the danger of infectious disease resulting from exposure to contaminated waters. Patterns of antibiotic resistance in fecal streptococci were analyzed by discriminant and cluster analysis and used to identify sources of fecal pollution in a rural Virginia watershed. A database consisting of patterns from 7,058 fecal streptococcus isolates was first established from known human, livestock, and wildlife sources in Montgomery County, Va. Correct fecal streptococcus source identification averaged 87% for the entire database and ranged from 84% for deer isolates to 93% for human isolates. To field test the method and the database, a watershed improvement project (Page Brook) in Clarke County, Va., was initiated in 1996. Comparison of 892 known-source isolates from that watershed against the database resulted in an average correct classification rate of 88%. Combining all animal isolates increased correct classification rates to > or = 95% for separations between animal and human sources. Stream samples from three collection sites were highly contaminated, and fecal streptococci from these sites were classified as being predominantly from cattle (>78% of isolates), with small proportions from waterfowl, deer, and unidentified sources ( approximately 7% each). Based on these results, cattle access to the stream was restricted by installation of fencing and in-pasture watering stations. Fecal coliforms were reduced at the three sites by an average of 94%, from prefencing average populations of 15,900 per 100 ml to postfencing average populations of 960 per 100 ml. After fencing, <45% of fecal streptococcus isolates were classified as being from cattle. These results demonstrate that antibiotic resistance profiles in fecal streptococci can be used to reliably determine sources of fecal pollution, and water quality improvements can occur when efforts to address the identified sources are made. (+info)Pamidronate in prevention of bone complications in metastatic breast cancer: a cost-effectiveness analysis. (7/492)
PURPOSE: Pamidronate is effective in reducing bony complications in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have known osteolytic lesions. However, pamidronate does not increase survival and is associated with additional financial costs and inconvenience. We conducted a post-hoc evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of pamidronate using the results of two randomized trials that evaluated pamidronate 90 mg administered intravenously every month versus placebo. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The trials differed only in the initial systemic therapy administered (hormonal or chemotherapy). Total skeletal related events (SREs), including surgery for pathologic fracture, radiation for fracture or pain control, conservatively treated pathologic fracture, spinal cord compression, or hypercalcemia, were taken directly from the trials. Using a societal perspective, direct health care costs were assigned to each SRE. Each group's monthly survival was equal and was projected to decline using observed median survivals. The cost of pamidronate reflected the average wholesale price of the drug plus infusion. The value or disutility of an adverse event per month was evaluated using a zero value (events avoided) or an assigned one (range, 0.2 to 0.8). RESULTS: The cost of pamidronate therapy exceeded the cost savings from prevented adverse events. The difference between the treated and placebo groups was larger with hormonal systemic therapy than with chemotherapy (additional $7,685 compared with $3,968 per woman). The projected net cost per SRE avoided was $3,940 with chemotherapy and $9,390 with hormonal therapy. The cost-effectiveness ratios were $108,200 with chemotherapy and $305, 300 with hormonal therapy per quality-adjusted year. CONCLUSION: Although pamidronate is effective in preventing a feared, common adverse outcome in metastatic breast cancer, its use is associated with high incremental costs per adverse event avoided. The analysis is most sensitive to the costs of pamidronate and pathologic fractures that were asymptomatic or treated conservatively. (+info)Clinical implications of body image among rural African-American women. (8/492)
OBJECTIVE: To increase understanding of body image among rural, African-American women through open-ended interviews. DESIGN: Individuals' perceptions of body image were investigated using open-ended, in-depth interviews that were tape-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed to identify common themes and to compare thematic data across three body mass index categories (obese, overweight, and normal). SETTING: University-affiliated rural community health center. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-four African-American women, aged 21 to 47 years. MAIN RESULTS: Respondents reported the following common themes: dissatisfaction with current weight; fluctuating levels of dissatisfaction (including periods of satisfaction); family and social pressure to be self-accepting; and social and physical barriers to weight loss. The interviews revealed ambivalence and conflicts with regard to body image and weight. Among these women, there was strong cultural pressure to be self-accepting of their physical shape, to "be happy with what God gave you," and to make the most of their appearance. CONCLUSIONS: The pressure to be self-accepting often conflicted with these obese women's dissatisfaction with their own appearance and weight. Although the respondents believed they could lose weight "if [they] put [their] mind to it," those women wanting to lose weight found that they lacked the necessary social support and resources to do so. The conflicts stemming from social pressures and their own ambivalence may result in additional barriers to the prevention of obesity, and an understanding of these issues can help health care providers better address the needs of their patients.

"Didelphis" is a genus of mammals that belongs to the family Didelphidae, which includes opossums. The name "Didelphis" itself is derived from the Greek words "di" meaning two and "delphys" meaning womb, referring to the fact that females of this genus have two separate uteri and two cervices.
The most common species in this genus is Didelphis virginiana, also known as the Virginia opossum or North American opossum. This nocturnal marsupial is native to North America and can be found in a variety of habitats ranging from forests to urban areas. It has a pointed snout, sharp teeth, and a prehensile tail that it uses for climbing and grasping objects.
Didelphis species are known for their adaptability and opportunistic feeding habits. They are omnivores that eat a wide range of foods, including fruits, insects, small mammals, birds, and reptiles. Females give birth to relatively undeveloped young that crawl into a pouch on the mother's belly and continue to develop there for several weeks before becoming independent.
The Appalachian Region is a geographic and cultural region in the eastern United States that stretches from southern New York to northern Mississippi. It is defined by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) as including 420 counties across 13 states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The ARC defines the region based on its unique economic and social challenges, as well as its distinct cultural heritage.
The Appalachian Region is characterized by a diverse landscape that includes the Appalachian Mountains, valleys, plateaus, and coastal plains. It has a rich history of coal mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, but has also faced significant economic challenges in recent decades due to declines in these industries. The region has higher poverty rates, lower educational attainment levels, and poorer health outcomes compared to the national average.
The medical definition of the Appalachian Region may refer to the unique health challenges that are prevalent in this area. These can include higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses due to factors such as poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and environmental exposures related to coal mining and other industries. The region also has a higher rate of opioid addiction and overdose deaths compared to the national average. Public health initiatives and interventions in the Appalachian Region often focus on addressing these specific health disparities and improving overall health outcomes for the population.
"California encephalitis" is not a medical term used to describe a specific type of encephalitis. Instead, it refers to a group of related viral infections that are common in California and other western states. These viruses are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes.
The most common cause of California encephalitis is the California serogroup of viruses, which includes the La Crosse virus, Jamestown Canyon virus, and Snowshoe Hare virus. These viruses can cause inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) and can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, confusion, seizures, and coma.
California encephalitis is typically a mild illness, but in some cases, it can be severe or even life-threatening. Treatment usually involves supportive care, such as fluids and medication to manage symptoms. There is no specific antiviral treatment for California encephalitis. Prevention measures include avoiding mosquito bites, using insect repellent, and eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed.
Preventive Orthodontics refers to the branch of dentistry that involves the use of appliances and treatments to prevent the development or worsening of malocclusion (improper bite) and dental crowding. The goal is to maintain proper alignment of teeth and jaws, and to promote good oral health by preventing issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw joint problems that can result from poorly aligned teeth.
Preventive orthodontic treatments may include:
1. Interceptive Orthodontics: This involves early intervention in children to guide the growth and development of the jaws and teeth, and to create space for incoming permanent teeth. Examples include palatal expanders, space maintainers, and habit-breaking appliances.
2. Dental Hygiene Education: Preventive orthodontists may provide education on proper brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene techniques to prevent dental problems during and after orthodontic treatment.
3. Protective Mouthguards: Custom-made mouthguards can be used to protect teeth from injury during sports or other activities that pose a risk of trauma.
4. Sealants and Fluoride Treatments: These treatments can help prevent tooth decay by strengthening the enamel and providing a barrier against bacteria and plaque.
5. Regular Dental Checkups: Preventive orthodontists may recommend regular dental checkups to monitor oral health, identify potential problems early, and provide timely treatment.
Overall, preventive orthodontics focuses on maintaining good oral health and preventing the need for extensive or invasive treatments in the future.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Maryland" is a proper noun and does not have a medical definition. It is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. However, if you are referring to a specific medical term or concept that includes "Maryland," could you please provide more context? I'll do my best to help with accurate information based on the provided context.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Off-Road Motor Vehicles" is not a term that has a specific medical definition. It generally refers to vehicles designed for use on unpaved surfaces, such as dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and dune buggies. However, in a medical context, it might be used to describe injuries or conditions related to the use of these types of vehicles. For example, an orthopedic surgeon might discuss off-road motor vehicle injuries as those sustained while riding ATVs, dirt bikes, etc.
If you're looking for medical definitions related to vehicles or trauma, I'd be happy to help! Please provide more details.
La Crosse virus (LACV) is an orthobunyavirus that belongs to the California serogroup and is the most common cause of pediatric arboviral encephalitis in the United States. It is named after La Crosse, Wisconsin, where it was first identified in 1963.
LACV is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected eastern treehole mosquitoes (Aedes triseriatus), which serve as the primary vector and amplifying host for the virus. The virus can also be found in other mosquito species, such as Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus.
The transmission cycle of LACV involves mosquitoes feeding on infected small mammals, particularly chipmunks and squirrels, which serve as the natural reservoirs for the virus. The virus then replicates in the salivary glands of the mosquito, making it possible to transmit the virus through their bite.
LACV infection can cause a range of symptoms, from mild flu-like illness to severe neurological complications such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Most cases occur in children under the age of 16, with peak transmission during summer months.
Preventive measures for LACV include using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, eliminating standing water around homes to reduce mosquito breeding sites, and staying indoors during peak mosquito activity hours (dawn and dusk). There is currently no specific antiviral treatment available for LACV infection, and management typically involves supportive care to address symptoms.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "raccoons" are not a medical term. They are a species of nocturnal mammals native to North America, known for their distinctive black facial mask and ringed tails. If you have any questions about animals or a medical condition, feel free to ask!
Naled is not a medical condition or disease, but it is a chemical compound used as an insecticide. Its chemical name is N-methyl-N-(1-naphthalenyloxy)pyridin-2-amine. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death.
Naled is often used to control mosquitoes that can transmit diseases such as Zika virus, West Nile virus, and eastern equine encephalitis. However, it can also have harmful effects on non-target organisms, including humans, if not used properly. Therefore, it should only be applied by trained professionals in accordance with established safety guidelines.
Exposure to naled can cause a range of symptoms, including respiratory irritation, headache, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may lead to neurological effects such as seizures or coma. If you suspect exposure to naled, seek medical attention immediately.
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is a fossil fuel that is formed from the accumulation and decomposition of plants over millions of years. It is primarily used as a source of energy for electricity generation, as well as for heating and industrial processes.
There are two main types of coal mining: surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining involves removing the soil and rock above the coal seam to access the coal, while underground mining involves sinking shafts and tunnels into the earth to reach the coal. Both methods have their own set of benefits and challenges, and the choice of which method to use depends on various factors such as the depth and location of the coal seam, the geology of the area, and environmental concerns.
Coal mining can be a dangerous occupation, with risks including accidents, explosions, and exposure to harmful dust and gases. As a result, it is essential that coal miners receive proper training and equipment to minimize these risks and ensure their safety. Additionally, coal mining has significant environmental impacts, including deforestation, habitat destruction, and water pollution, which must be carefully managed to minimize harm.
A legal guardian is an individual who has been appointed by a court to make decisions on behalf of a minor child or an adult who is incapacitated and unable to make decisions for themselves. The legal guardian is responsible for ensuring the well-being and safety of the person in their care, and may be responsible for making decisions related to their education, medical treatment, financial affairs, and living arrangements.
In the context of medical care, a legal guardian may be asked to make important decisions about a patient's treatment, such as whether to consent to surgery or other medical procedures. They may also be responsible for ensuring that the patient receives appropriate medical care and follows through with recommended treatments.
It is important to note that the specific powers and responsibilities of a legal guardian can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the individual circumstances of the case. In general, however, a legal guardian is expected to act in the best interests of the person they are responsible for caring for.
I am not aware of any medical definition for the term "Delaware." Delaware is one of the 50 states in the United States, located on the East Coast. It is named after the Delaware River and Delaware Bay, which were named after Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, who was an English nobleman and colonial governor.
If you have any specific medical context or terminology related to Delaware that you would like me to help define or explain, please let me know!
An artificial pancreas is not a literal organ like a biological pancreas. Instead, it refers to a closed-loop system that integrates a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with an insulin pump to automatically regulate blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. This system mimics the functions of a healthy pancreas by constantly monitoring blood sugar levels and delivering the appropriate amount of insulin as needed, without requiring manual input from the user.
The artificial pancreas is still an area of active research and development, and various prototypes and systems are being tested in clinical trials to improve their accuracy, safety, and effectiveness. The ultimate goal of developing an artificial pancreas is to provide a more effective and convenient way to manage diabetes, reduce the risk of complications, and improve quality of life for people with diabetes.
