RATIONALE: The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) led to a significant particulate exposure in 13,954 FDNY rescue workers. Symptomatic individuals with subsequent subspecialty pulmonary evaluation had obstruction as their predominant physiology. Utilizing a case cohort study, we propose to identify proteins in the serum of FDNY rescue workers obtained within 5 months of 9/11/2001. A cell

In 1998, a joint venture between Saginaw Township Fire Department and Thomas Township Fire Department was forged to create a rescue team capable of performing specialized rescues involving high-angles, confined spaces and trench collapse..

http://www.timminspress.com/. TIMMINS - It is possible that a mine rescue team from Timmins could this year be named as the best rescue team in the world.. Thats because the winner of the Timmins District mine rescue competition which is being held May 11 to 13, will advance to the provincial competition, which is being held in Sudbury in June. Normally thats where things end - at the provincial level - with the best team enjoying bragging rights. It has happened to many Timmins teams in the past.. This year is different. In August, the International Mines Rescue Competition (IMRC2016 - Canada) is being held in Sudbury at the NORCAT underground centre in Onaping. It means whatever Ontario team wins the provincial event has the right to compete at the world event. Thus, the door is open for a Timmins team to win the world title.. Timmins District Mine Rescue officer Danny Taillefer said this is a regular topic of discussion for the teams currently in training.. Absolutely. I guarantee you ...

Rescue teams on Sunday afternoon aided a boat on its side in Venice and quickly afterward had to get to a wayward vessel in Dockweiler State Beach drifting close to the shore, fire officials said.. At about 3 p.m., BayWatch Santa Monica and BayWatch Del Rey were dispatched to a 45-foot sailboat knocked on its side and had its keel broken because of heavy winds, said Brian Hogue, a rescue boat captain with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.. Four people were on board and the captain at one point fell overboard, but was rescued, Hogue said.. There were no other injuries.. They had gotten as close as 100 feet from the pier, Hogue said.. Immediately after the rescue, BayWatch headed to Dockweiler in Play Del Rey to tie down a 1920s sailboat after its anchor was dislodged by heavy swells that in turn dragged the vessel within 30 yards of the beach, Hogue said.. High surf will continue to batter Southern Californias coast today amid dangerous rip currents and perilous conditions for swimmers, ...

Four people left Langdale to walk to Scafell and back; at Esk Hause one lady said she was tired: the other three said they would carry on and return for her later. They did so, however, she could not be found. A helicopter from RAF Boulmer with team members on board located her at Esk Hause at 10.00 pm in the exact spot they left her. This woman should never have been left on her own due to her medical history. The team leader gave the rest of the group a severe talking too.

We hurried back to the condo, grabbed a bucket, towel, Tom (my husband), and our truck, and headed to the beach access closest to the bird. Still there, surrounded by seagulls. Were they waiting for the inevitable? I wasnt sure, but wasnt going to chance it, either. My fisty little rescue was grabbing at the towel and wildly craning its neck when the bird must have decided the bucket was a safe haven--it crawled in and I placed the towel over the bucket. The baby calmed immediately, even when we took off in the car (Maddie stayed in the back seat politely as if she had no idea we had that baby bird so close). Off we went over the bridge to Port Isabel. I knew where to take the bird this time since I had rescued a bird last year on the road while out on my bike ...

Yarmouth RNLI supported a multi agency search that included the Coastguard Rescue Teams and the police in locating a missing person. The lifeboat then returned to Yarmouth Harbour and was ready for service by 1.35pm.. Less than two hours later pagers were activated at 3.25pm and Yarmouth RNLI assisted Coastguard Rescue Teams with the recovery of an inflatable toy from the south of the Isle of Wight. Initial concerns were raised when the object had been sighted moving quickly in off shore winds, heading west from Compton Bay towards the Needles. All persons involved were safe and accounted for on the beach.. While on her return journey to Yarmouth, the Severn Class all weather lifeboat was tasked again by Solent Coastguard at 3.39pm, this time to a 17 foot aluminum dory with mechanical failure. The four adults on board were transferred to Yarmouth Lifeboat using appropriate safety measures under the RNLI COVID 19 guidance.

Its entirely possible that some of these chemicals could have effects that EPA identified like neurotoxicity, developmental toxicity, lung toxicity, kidney toxicity and liver toxicity, Horwitt said. People need to know. People have a right to know, and first responders have a right to know if they might be exposed to those types of chemicals.. First responders in the case of spills also expressed their concern. We depend upon being able to quantify and qualify the product that were dealing with so we know how to mitigate it, said Silverio Caggiano, battalion chief at Youngstown Fire Department. If I dont know what it is, I cant identify its physical properties and how Im going to take care of it, or how to protect people.. Although first responders can request the identity of trade secret chemicals, they must do so via written statements. Usually by the time their request is approved and responded to it is already too late.. Horwitt suggested that companies release their chemical ...

Unfortunately, its often difficult to use patent and license data to trace advancements in the lab to products on the market. One challenge is that licenses are generally considered to be confidential business information. By federal law (35 USC § 209 [d][f]) they are protected from disclosure so that companies can develop their products without giving away information that a competitor could exploit.. Still, those connections to patents derived from federally funded research that can be made public show a long history of important, real-world impact.. For example, NISTs patented RoboCrane, developed in the 1990s to lift and precisely manipulate heavy loads in all six degrees of freedom, has been licensed and used for cleaning up the Chernobyl disaster site, in addition to applications such as paint-stripping aircraft and bridge construction.. Other products are in the pipeline. For example, NISTs portable radiocarbon analyzer has been licensed for planned use across forests and cities to ...

This has worked well numerous times and can be fairly straight forward ...

Heres the outline of things that need doing if the pigs are to have a chance. First and most important is to get the local team in place. It should include the spokesperson, legal owner or caretaker of the pigs, the decision maker.. When you have a transporter from 220 miles away at the door to pick up pigs, the spokesperson cant be calling her son or nephew to see if its OK to take the pigs. Get one person committed to being the single decision maker. You need to have one person to call to say we are coming over today with fencing or pools or whatever. Someone has to work with you or you can quickly lose the impetus. Calling the son every time the volunteers need to get on the property and finding he is out of town or in a meeting or will call back will kill the rescue effort. If necessary, get a statement signed that allows you on the property to do rescue work with nothing but a phone call (leave a message). Having the next step at your side makes this all tidy and legal.. The local Humane ...

After the large-scale earthquake in 2011, the disaster medical assistance team (DMAT) was made responsible for medical activities during the hyperacute phase of a disaster or accident in Japan. The medicines to be administered at the disaster sites, packaged in medical bags, may be affected by the temperatures there. This study aimed at establishing a method to handle drug bags in high-temperature situations by determining the temperature changes in medical bags subject to high temperatures and examining the effect of opening the bag and using heat-insulating material (HIM) and coolants. Closed and semi-opened bags limited the temperature increase in the central part of the bag at both 35 and 40 °C to a greater extent than opened bags. When coolant and HIM were used in closed and semi-opened bags, the internal temperatures were significantly lower than in the opened state at 40 °C. In high-temperature disaster sites, medical bags should be maintained in a semi-opened or closed state using a HIM and

The attack on the World Trade Center (WTC) created an acute environmental disaster of enormous magnitude. This study characterizes the environmental exposures resulting from destruction of the WTC and assesses their effects on health. Methods include ambient air sampling; analyses of outdoor and indoor settled dust; high-altitude imaging and modeling of the atmospheric plume; inhalation studies of WTC dust in mice; and clinical examinations, community surveys, and prospective epidemiologic studies of exposed populations. WTC dust was found to consist predominantly (95%) of coarse particles and contained pulverized cement, glass fibers, asbestos, lead, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated furans and dioxins. Airborne particulate levels were highest immediately after the attack and declined thereafter. Particulate levels decreased sharply with distance from the WTC. Dust pH was highly alkaline (pH 9.0-11.0). Mice exposed to WTC dust showed ...

The data, drawn from the World Trade Center Health Registry, show that 3.6 percent of the 25,000 rescue and recovery workers enrolled in the registry report a diverse group of firefighters police officers, medical workers, construction workers and volunteers developed asthma after working at the site.

ObjectivesIn a cohort of rescue/recovery workers exposed to the dust that resulted from the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC), we assessed how a diagnosis of obstructive airways disease (OAD) affected the likelihood of a subsequent diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We also assessed whether OAD acted as a mediator of the association between exposure to the WTC rescue/recovery effort and CRS and GERD diagnoses. MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, we analyzed Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) physician diagnoses of OAD, CRS and GERD that were first documented between September 11, 2001 and September 10, 2011 among 8,968 WTC-exposed firefighters. We used piecewise exponential survival models to evaluate whether OAD was a risk factor for either CRS or GERD and to assess OAD as a possible mediator. ResultsAn OAD diagnosis significantly increased the risks for subsequent CRS (relative rate [RR]: 4.24; 95% CI: 3.78-4.76) and GERD (RR: 3

Of 9,442 responders examined between July 2002 and April 2004, 69% reported new or worsened respiratory symptoms while performing WTC work. Symptoms persisted to the time of examination in 59% of these workers. Among those who had been asymptomatic before September 11, 61% developed respiratory symptoms while performing WTC work. Twenty-eight percent had abnormal spirometry; forced vital capacity (FVC) was low in 21%; and obstruction was present in 5%. Among nonsmokers, 27% had abnormal spirometry compared with 13% in the general U.S. population. Prevalence of low FVC among nonsmokers was 5-fold greater than in the U.S. population (20% vs. 4%). Respiratory symptoms and spirometry abnormalities were significantly associated with early arrival at the site ...

09/11/2006. UPPER DUBLIN - It took recovery workers just two days to discover 26-year-old Bobby McIlvaines burned remains amid tall mounds of pulverized debris at the World Trade Center. Nearly five years later, the victims father, Robert McIlvaine, recalled that dental records were necessary to positively identify his son on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001.. It was brutal, McIlvaine said. Bobby McIlvaine, a Princeton University graduate, was hired to work in Merrill Lynch & Co.s offices across from the World Trade Center just weeks before the horrific attacks on Tuesday, Sept. 11.. That day, after getting news of the attacks, Robert and Helen McIlvaine waited for their son to call. I wasnt overly concerned, because Bobby didnt work in the (World Trade Center) towers, he said.. But Bobby didnt call the couples Oreland home.. On Wednesday, McIlvaine and his younger son, Jeffrey, took a train to Manhattan and began a frantic search for information about Bobbys whereabouts..

Data from the present study revealed that the field intervention cabin developed by our team has numerous advantages, such as being small and mobile, provides clear images and stable performance, rapid loading and unloading, and lower emissivity. Compared with data in the cardiac catheterization lab, the field intervention cabin had relatively low DAP and ESD for the C-arm and angiographic equipment with an Alderson phantom but approximately the same image quality, making pre-hospital intervention of vascular injury at a war front or disaster site possible.. Minimally invasive treatment systems that have high mobility and adaptability to the environment are needed at a war front or natural disaster site. The design concept of minimally invasive treatment cabins feature miniaturization of ordinary catheter operating room equipment for truck loading. The cabin was mainly equipped with a medium-sized mobile C-arm X-ray machine, in which interventional treatment for common cardiac and vascular ...

Paul Napoli, who leads a legal team representing most of the plaintiffs, said he has since brokered additional agreements with other defendants, bringing the total potential compensation to 796.45 million dollars.. And further agreements are still possible, further increasing the amount.. Micheline Tang of Kekst and Company said proposed compensation from different defendants now totals 811.5 million dollars, but noted it could be inaccurate to aggregate the figures because different plaintiffs are suing different defendants.. In addition, compensation will be determined based on the severity of the injury and the strength of the claim, she told AFP.. Her firm represents the WTC Captive Insurance Company, which will pay the larger settlement out of a federally financed fund.. Lawyers also reached a separate 47.5 million dollar settlement last month with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the World Trade Center.. Napoli said he and his colleagues are very happy we have ...

Now, in a study entitled First Documentation of Cardiac Dysfunction Following Exposure to the World Trade Center Disaster, researchers provide evidence that the 9/11 responders have a condition in which their hearts are not able to relax normally, which increases their risk for heart failure and shortness of breath. The study, conducted by Lori Croft, MD, assistant professor of medicine, evaluated 1,236 workers who had been part of the 9/11 rescue efforts. It found that more than 50 percent of them had impaired relaxation of the left ventricle. Among their same-age peers in the general population, this condition appears in only 7 percent of people. More than 60 percent of the participants had abnormal diastolic function in the right ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs. Although these study results do not definitively link exposure to debris by 9/11 responders and their heart problems, Dr. Croft and her team note that previous research indicates that inhaled debris may be associated with ...

Avalanche emergency response should address current accident scenarios to optimize survival chances of victims and to keep rescuers safe. The purpose of this article is to present a basis for evaluation and necessary adjustments in dispatch, prioritization, and management of Norwegian avalanche rescue operations. This is the first peer-reviewed retrospective study of all Norwegian avalanche incidents registered by the two Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centers (JRCCs) in the period 1996-2017 that describes the characteristics and trends of rescue missions and victims. The Norwegian JRCCs have registered 720 snow avalanche events, with a total of 568 avalanche victims, of which 120 (21%) died. Including those fatally injured, a total of 313 avalanche victims in 209 accidents were treated as patients (55%), and we saw | 1 patient in 24% of these operations. Norwegian avalanche victims were partially or completely recovered prior to the arrival of rescuers in 75% (n = 117) of all rescue operations. In the

Health officials have determined that more than 400,000 people were exposed to the tragedy on September 11, 2001. Recent data suggests that, of those who experienced the atrocity, 35,000 to 70,000 may have developed PTSD and 3,800 to 12,600 may have developed asthma. There are 71,437 people on the health registry who agreed to be monitored for up to 20 years since the disaster. Half of those surveyed said they were in the dust cloud left by the collapsing towers, 70 per cent witnessed a traumatic sight - such as a plane hitting a tower or falling bodies - and 13 per cent were injured that day. Of the endless list of rescue and recovery workers, commuters, area workers, Lower Manhattan residents, and passersby, PTSD was highest among those who had sustained injuries (35%), followed by those with low-income (31%), and Hispanic (30%) ...

Hi Brad.. I think you are being rather irresponsible in what you are saying about the Japan quake aftermath. I goggled what you said about rescue teams from America refusing to go to Japan and help. Most of the quotes I found are coming from you and other Buddhists who are repeating it. I heard of a Brit team that got turned around because of a paperwork error but I think you are just wrong on this and its really insulting to the folks who did go over there to help. There are hundreds of Americans and Brits and others in Japan helping them out with more coming everyday. 13 countries sent rescue teams. The American military is involved. So it doesnt make sense that you are angry with relief effort unless you know something we dont. Where are you getting your information? ...
