The study involved 200 aircrew members, and identified a pattern of acute and chronic symptoms among affected aircrew, including headaches, dizziness, breathing problems, and vision problems. These symptoms can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of aircrew, potentially affecting their ability to perform their duties safely ...
Sporotrichosis, also known as rose handler's disease, [2] is a fungal infection that may be localised to skin, lungs, bone and joint, or become systemic. [2] [4] It presents with firm painless nodules that later ulcerate. [3] Following initial exposure to Sporothrix schenckii, the disease typically progresses over a period of a week to several ...
Bird fancier's lung (BFL), also known as bird breeder's lung, is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.It can cause shortness of breath, fever, dry cough, chest pain, anorexia and weight loss, fatigue, and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (the most serious complication).
It is this route of infection, coupled with its presence on roses that give sporotrichosis its common name of "rose-handler's disease" [16] or "rose thorn disease". [17] Inhalation of spores is a rare route of infection largely associated with immunocompromised hosts. [18]
An alternative diagnosis should be suspected if severe symptoms begin more than six hours following decompression without an altitude exposure or if any symptom occurs more than 24 hours after surfacing. [78] The diagnosis is confirmed if the symptoms are relieved by recompression.
Diagnosis [ edit ] Chest radiography , high-resolution chest CT , pulmonary function testing , bronchofibroscopy with BAL and transbronchial biopsy , delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity tests, fungal and suberin antigen testing, immediate hypersensitivity specific skin tests, and specific bronchial challenge tests can all be used for diagnosis.
The Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. (AMCA) is an international trade body that sets standards for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning equipment. It rates fan balance and vibration, aerodynamic performance, air density, speed and efficiency.
In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB) are the three major steps used to achieve proper operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. TAB usually refers to commercial building construction and the specialized contractors who employ personnel that perform this service.
