Articles published between 1996 and 2006, which deal with the health effects of sugarcane burning and/or air pollutants originating from this burning, were discussed. (scielo.br)
For community-acquired pneumonia, risk factors include: being very young or older, having a long-term (chronic) lung disease, having a compromised immune system, having a swallowing disorder, staying in dormitory conditions, exposure to smoke or pollutants, abusing drugs or alcohol. (adam.com)
Ingestion2
Cyanide exposure most often occurs via inhalation or ingestion, but liquid cyanide can be absorbed through the skin or eyes. (medscape.com)
inhalation - 13 g/day and water ingestion - 0.2 g/day. (who.int)
Exposure1
However, cyanide exposure occurs relatively frequently in patients with smokeinhalation from residential or industrial fires. (medscape.com)
Influenza1
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus that infects the nose, throat, and lungs. (griffinhealth.org)
Combustion1
These combustion gases likely contribute to the morbidity and mortality from smokeinhalation. (medscape.com)
To identify the occurrence of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), diarrheal diseases and trauma during the Hajj season, and the practice of some preventive measures by pilgrims. (who.int)
Infections3
The best way to prevent serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia is to avoid sick people (if possible) and to practice good hygiene. (adam.com)
The new guidelines are designed to reduce the incidence of pneumonia and other severe, acute lower respira- tory tract infections in acute-care hospitals and in other health-care settings (e.g., ambulatory and long-term care institu- tions) and other facilities where health care is provided. (cdc.gov)
Diseases4
As the air quality in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is very poor, respiratory diseases, including asthma and COPD, pose threat to city-dwellers. (researchgate.net)
In this study, we investigated the association between air quality of Dhaka recorded at Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Station (CAMS) in Darussalam, Dhaka and hospital visits due to asthma and COPD in National Asthma Centre of National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital, Dhaka. (researchgate.net)
This result show that, asthma and COPD diseases are associated with air pollution and it may take up to 0 to 7 days to manifest the symptom leading to hospital visit. (researchgate.net)
Transportation studied pattern of diseases among haj- Case definition to the Hajj area is mainly through air jis visiting Mina hospitals. (who.int)
Fires2
And although the air quality advisory has ended in Toronto, the fires in northeastern Ontario and Quebec are still active, with more 50 and 140 active fires burning respectively. (ctvnews.ca)
The smoke from those fires reached as far as New York earlier this week, where thick orange smog blanketed that city's iconic skyline. (ctvnews.ca)
Conclusions2
Its objective is to comment on current scientific production about the effects of sugarcane burning on respiratory health and their main conclusions, aiming to contribute to the analysis of this issue and suggest questions for future research. (scielo.br)
CONCLUSIONS: Waterpipe smoking emits large amounts of ultrafine particles. (who.int)
Cough1
Home-care involves: drinking fluids, monitoring body temperature, allowing the cough reflex to clear the lung (no cough suppression), pain relief (if needed), finishing the entire course of antibiotics (if applicable), and not smoking. (adam.com)
Emissions3
Ribeiro & Assunção (2002) 21 published a review of these studies, focusing on emissions in the lower atmosphere that originate from biomass burning. (scielo.br)
The aim of this study was to characterise the inhalation pattern of waterpipe smokers, and (a) construct apparatus to simulate waterpipe smoking in the laboratory, and (b) characterise mainstream emissions from waterpipes under different smoking conditions. (who.int)
With regard to particle emissions, smoking waterpipes may carry similar health risks to smoking cigarettes. (who.int)
Pollution1
Highest strength for the model of asthma and COPD related hospital visit was observed when air pollution data is lagged by 7 days (R 2 = 0.21). (researchgate.net)
Adults2
Over 40 infants and toddlers and six adults were hospitalized with burns. (wikipedia.org)
Symptoms vary among children, adults, and older people. (adam.com)
Visits1
A moderate positive correlation (r = 0.432 for PM2.5 and r = 0.448 for PM10) was observed between particulate matters recorded at Darussalam and asthma and COPD-related hospital visits. (researchgate.net)
Patients1
Since National Asthma Centre is a specialized health center only for asthma and COPD patients, daily hospital visit count there could be an indication of asthma and COPD cases in Dhaka. (researchgate.net)
Conditions2
All week, Environment Canada has urged the public, especially those with respiratory conditions, to stay indoors to avoid the poor air quality and recommended the use of a face mask when outdoors to reduce the inhalation of smoke particulate. (ctvnews.ca)
It had completely disappeared under a cloud of smoke," Trevor Sutton, an amateur photographer from Hamilton who captured images of the conditions in New York, told CTV News Toronto in an interview. (ctvnews.ca)
Physician1
If you are experiencing these symptoms, contact your primary care physician. (griffinhealth.org)
Severe1
He reported that some of the hospitalized children had been suffering from kidney failure due to severe loss of body fluids caused by the burns. (wikipedia.org)
Water1
The median diameter of the particles in a full smoking set with charcoal, tobacco and water was 0.04 microm. (who.int)
General1
There are studies on health effects caused by biomass burning in general, which, at times, mention sugarcane. (scielo.br)
Children4
Although 15 medical specialists were flown in to treat the victims, some children were moved to hospitals in other cities in the state of Jalisco which had doctors with specialties in children's burns. (wikipedia.org)
Two children were taken to a Shriner's burn hospital in Sacramento, California, USA, for treatment. (wikipedia.org)
Her mother, who had herself been working in the day care center, was taken to a Ciudad Obregón hospital after pulling her daughter and several other children out of the fire. (wikipedia.org)
These studies suggest that part of the population - especially the elderly, children and asthmatics - suffers health effects of sugarcane burning. (scielo.br)
Include3
Also, flu symptoms tend to occur suddenly and include high fevers. (griffinhealth.org)
For hospital-acquired pneumonia, risk factors include: being very young or older, undergoing surgery, having a long-term (chronic) illness, being in the intensive care unit, receiving sedation, receiving antibiotics. (adam.com)
In the section on aspergillosis, the revised recommendations include the use of a room with high-efficiency particulate air filters rather than laminar airflow as the protective environment for allogeneic HSCT recipients and the use of high-efficiency respiratory-protection devices (e.g. (cdc.gov)
State1
The article aimed to update scientific literature information about respiratory health effects caused by sugarcane burning, considering the expansion of sugarcane plantations in Brazil and in the state of São Paulo. (scielo.br)
Care1
multidimensional care rather than care focusing solely on the management of physical pain and symptoms, supporting the mandate to provide Inhibitors,research,lifescience,medical palliative care alongside active treatment of HIV. (syksignaling.com)
