Wood trimmers are periodically exposed to mould and may develop extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA). To investigate if there were any signs of EAA in wood trimmers with low exposure, 19 non-smoking wood trimmers underwent bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), spirometry, and measurement of diffusion

Upper airway symptoms in workers employed in the manufacture of wood products using ultraviolet radiation curing or acid curing of surface coating have been reported. In this study, workers were divided into groups according to exposure: (1) UV-surface coating line, (2) acid curing surface coating

A 63 year old man reported rhinitis and asthma, which occurred only at work where he was exposed to ash wood dust. Monitoring of peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) and bronchial responsiveness to histamine when off work and at work showed increased variation of PEFR at work but no significant changes

Adhesive properties of a cellulolytic, nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from a marine shipworm by Waterbury et al. (J. B. Waterbury, C. B. Calloway, and R. D. Turner, Science 221:1401-1403, 1983) are described. S-labeled cells of the shipworm bacterium bound preferentially to Whatman no. 1

BACKGROUND Diisocyanates, a group of highly reactive chemicals, have frequently been associated with occupational asthma. We evaluated respiratory health in workers at a new wood products manufacturing plant that uses methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), and was designed and operated with a goal

The goal of the present study is to estimate the oxidative effects of AFB1 induced hepatotoxicity in furniture wood dust exposed workers. A cross-sectional comparative study was designed for comparing AFB1/albumin (AFB1/alb) levels and liver functions [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate

BACKGROUND The aim of this registry study was to evaluate Robuvit® (French oak wood extract) supplementation in the evolution of moderate functional hepatic failure (MTHF) due to alcohol. Recent studies have indicated the protective effect of oak wood (QR) extracts on liver injury. This registry

The aim of this registry study was to evaluate Robuvit® (quercus robur wood extract) supplementation in the evolution of moderate functional hepatic failure (MTHF) due to alcohol. Recent studies have indicated the protective effect of oak wood (QR) extracts on liver injury. This registry included

Symptoms of nasal, pharyngeal and ocular discomfort have been reported among workers in the wood surface-coating industry. Symptoms were reported more often by workers using ultraviolet radiation-curable acrylate coatings (UV coatings), which contain potential chemical sensitizers, than by those

The effects of in vivo freezing and glucose cryoprotectant on protein glycation were investigated in the wood frog, Rana sylvatica. Our studies revealed no difference in the fructoselysine content of blood plasma sampled from control, 27 h frozen and 18 h thawed wood frogs. Glycated hemoglobin (GHb)

OBJECTIVE The aim of this registry study was to evaluate the evolution of moderate functional hepatic failure (MTHF) using a proprietary new oak wood supplement (Robuvit®) extracted from Quercus Robur. Recent studies have indicated the protective effect of oak wood extracts on liver injury. Quercus

BACKGROUND Pretreatment is a vital but expensive step in biomass biofuel production. Overall, most of this past effort has been directed at maximizing sugar yields from hemicellulose and cellulose through trials with different chemicals, operating conditions, and equipment configurations.

A worker developed symptoms of work-related asthma a few weeks after starting to work in a sawmill where eastern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) was transformed into shingles. The diagnosis of occupational asthma was confirmed by monitoring of peak expiratory flow rates and bronchial responsiveness

Woodworkers in the furniture industry are exposed to wood dust in their workplaces. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of occupational wood dust exposure on the nasal mucociliary transport rates (NMTRs) in woodworkers. Twenty five woodworkers and 30 healthy controls were included in
