Book excerpt: La soja es uno de los cultivos más valiosos del mundo y una importante fuente tanto de proteína vegetal como de aceite, pero también, es una causa de asma. En ciudades con puertos donde se carga o descarga soja, se han descrito brotes epidémicos de asma por soja. La medición de los niveles de aeroalérgenos de soja con métodos altamente sensibles es esencial en la evaluación de los riesgos para la salud que estos implican. En la actualidad, los aeroalérgenos de soja se cuantifican mediante ensayos ELISA que deben ser realizados en un laboratorio por personal especializado. Metodologías menos laboriosas, baratas y sencillas para medir los niveles de alérgenos de soja podrían ser una herramienta extremadamente útil. Por lo tanto, se ha investigado el desarrollo y rendimiento de un test rápido para la detección de aeroalérgenos de soja en muestras ambientales. El test rápido desarrollado detectó un amplio rango de concentraciones de aeroalérgenos de soja cuya interpretación visual tenía un grado de acuerdo substancial entre evaluadores independientes, una buena concordancia con los resultados obtenidos mediante ELISA, una buena correlación con los resultados de densitometría y una sensibilidad y especificidad adecuadas. El test desarrollado es rápido, sencillo y tiene un potencial considerable en el campo de la monitorización ambiental de los niveles de aeroalérgenos de soja. Debido a su simplicidad, este test rápido puede ayudar a mejorar el manejo de pacientes alérgicos a la soja, permitiendo controlar la exposición a los alérgenos ambientales sin la necesidad de tecnología o personal especializado. Aunque la comprensión de la patogénesis del asma alérgico ha aumentado sustancialmente, y la monitorización de los niveles de aeroalérgenos ha demostrado ser una medida eficaz, todavía existen pequeñas lagunas en nuestra comprensión del asma por soja. Todavía no se conoce cómo la contaminación puede interactuar, o modificar el efecto, de los alérgenos de soja. Las partículas diésel (DEP) son la fracción sólida de la mezcla compleja que genera un motor diésel y uno de los contaminantes antropogénicos más prevalentes en todo el mundo. La investigación en las últimas décadas ha proporcionado resultados que sugieren que las DEP puede incrementar la respuesta asmática producida por alérgenos, pero la capacidad de las DEP para hacerlo parece depender de una amplia gama de variables y el mecanismo subyacente todavía no se conoce en profundidad. El desarrollo de un modelo murino de exposición combinada a soja y DEP puede aumentar nuestra comprensión de la contribución de las DEP al desarrollo y exacerbación del asma, así como, de los mecanismos subyacentes a estos procesos. Este estudio con la estandarización de un nuevo modelo murino de asma y la evaluación del efecto combinado de los aeroalérgenos de soja y las DEP, muestra que la administración continua de alérgenos de soja a una cierta concentración es capaz de desencadenar una respuesta asmática. Además, también demuestra que la coexposición a los alérgenos de soja y las DEP puede producir una mayor respuesta asmática, aumentando la hiperreactividad de las vías respiratorias y la inflamación pulmonar incluso cuando la concentración de alérgeno de soja es incapaz por si sola de provocar una respuesta inflamatoria. Este modelo proporciona nuevas evidencias que apoyan que el mecanismo subyacente en el asma por soja es una respuesta mixta Th2/Th17, y también que las DEP son capaces de potenciar el efecto alergénico de la soja a través de un mecanismo mediado por Th17. Estos hallazgos sugieren que la monitorización de partículas como alternativa a la valoración de la exposición a las DEP puede ser una adición útil a la monitorización de alérgenos dentro de las estrategias de prevención de nuevos brotes de asma.

Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years, public concerns have grown in response to the apparent rising prevalence of food allergy and related atopic conditions, such as eczema. Although evidence on the true prevalence of food allergy is complicated by insufficient or inconsistent data and studies with variable methodologies, many health care experts who care for patients agree that a real increase in food allergy has occurred and that it is unlikely to be due simply to an increase in awareness and better tools for diagnosis. Many stakeholders are concerned about these increases, including the general public, policy makers, regulatory agencies, the food industry, scientists, clinicians, and especially families of children and young people suffering from food allergy. At the present time, however, despite a mounting body of data on the prevalence, health consequences, and associated costs of food allergy, this chronic disease has not garnered the level of societal attention that it warrants. Moreover, for patients and families at risk, recommendations and guidelines have not been clear about preventing exposure or the onset of reactions or for managing this disease. Finding a Path to Safety in Food Allergy examines critical issues related to food allergy, including the prevalence and severity of food allergy and its impact on affected individuals, families, and communities; and current understanding of food allergy as a disease, and in diagnostics, treatments, prevention, and public policy. This report seeks to: clarify the nature of the disease, its causes, and its current management; highlight gaps in knowledge; encourage the implementation of management tools at many levels and among many stakeholders; and delineate a roadmap to safety for those who have, or are at risk of developing, food allergy, as well as for others in society who are responsible for public health.

Book excerpt: "America's Children and the Environment (ACE)" is EPA's report presenting data on children's environmental health. ACE brings together information from a variety of sources to provide national indicators in the following areas: Environments and Contaminants, Biomonitoring, and Health. Environments and Contaminants indicators describe conditions in the environment, such as levels of air pollution. Biomonitoring indicators include contaminants measured in the bodies of children and women of child-bearing age, such as children's blood lead levels. Health indicators report the rates at which selected health outcomes occur among U.S. children, such as the annual percentage of children who currently have asthma. Accompanying each indicator is text discussing the relevance of the issue to children's environmental health and describing the data used in preparing the indicator. Wherever possible, the indicators are based on data sources that are updated in a consistent manner, so that indicator values may be compared over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all homes, apartments, and commercial buildings will experience leaks, flooding, or other forms of excessive indoor dampness at some point. Not only is excessive dampness a health problem by itself, it also contributes to several other potentially problematic types of situations. Molds and other microbial agents favor damp indoor environments, and excess moisture may initiate the release of chemical emissions from damaged building materials and furnishings. This new book from the Institute of Medicine examines the health impact of exposures resulting from damp indoor environments and offers recommendations for public health interventions. Damp Indoor Spaces and Health covers a broad range of topics. The book not only examines the relationship between damp or moldy indoor environments and adverse health outcomes but also discusses how and where buildings get wet, how dampness influences microbial growth and chemical emissions, ways to prevent and remediate dampness, and elements of a public health response to the issues. A comprehensive literature review finds sufficient evidence of an association between damp indoor environments and some upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, wheezing, and asthma symptoms in sensitized persons. This important book will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience of science, health, engineering, and building professionals, government officials, and members of the public.

Book excerpt: This Monograph provides the general respiratory physician with a working reference based on the latest literature and expert opinion. The initial chapter provides a contemporaneous global perspective of the epidemiology of occupational and environmental lung diseases in an ever-evolving landscape. The book then goes on to consider specific occupational lung diseases. Each chapters has a clear clinical focus and considers: key questions to ask in the history; appropriate investigations to undertake; differential diagnoses; and management. Controversies or diagnostic conundrums encountered in the clinic are also considered, and further chapters are more broadly centred on the non-workplace environment; specifically, the respiratory symptoms and diseases associated with both the outdoor and indoor environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publication bias is the tendency to decide to publish a study based on the results of the study, rather than on the basis of its theoretical or methodological quality. It can arise from selective publication of favorable results, or of statistically significant results. This threatens the validity of conclusions drawn from reviews of published scientific research. Meta-analysis is now used in numerous scientific disciplines, summarizing quantitative evidence from multiple studies. If the literature being synthesised has been affected by publication bias, this in turn biases the meta-analytic results, potentially producing overstated conclusions. Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis examines the different types of publication bias, and presents the methods for estimating and reducing publication bias, or eliminating it altogether. Written by leading experts, adopting a practical and multidisciplinary approach. Provides comprehensive coverage of the topic including: Different types of publication bias, Mechanisms that may induce them, Empirical evidence for their existence, Statistical methods to address them, Ways in which they can be avoided. Features worked examples and common data sets throughout. Explains and compares all available software used for analysing and reducing publication bias. Accompanied by a website featuring software, data sets and further material. Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis adopts an inter-disciplinary approach and will make an excellent reference volume for any researchers and graduate students who conduct systematic reviews or meta-analyses. University and medical libraries, as well as pharmaceutical companies and government regulatory agencies, will also find this invaluable.

This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the important issue of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of agricultural residue burning, common in agricultural practices in many parts of the world. In particular, it focuses on the pollution caused by rice residue burning using primary survey data from Punjab, India. It discusses emerging solutions to agricultural waste burning that are cost-effective in terms of both money and time. The burning of agricultural residue causes severe pollution in land, water and air and contributes to increased ozone levels and climate change in the long term. However, appropriate assessments have not been undertaken so far to demonstrate the relevant impact of agriculture-based pollution, especially residue burning. This book addresses this gap in the literature. Punjab has been used as a case study as it is the chief granary of India, contributing to 27.2 percent of the Indian national produce of rice and 43.8 percent of wheat. It is presumed that the findings from this state will be useful not only for other agricultural areas in India, but across the world. This book, therefore, sensitizes policy makers, researchers and students about the impacts of air pollution caused by agricultural residue burning---a subject not much dealt in the literature---and provides a way forward.
