Over the past two decades, there has been a substantial increase in the usage of latex products, accompanied by a growing incidence of latex allergies, particularly in healthcare settings. Allergic reactions to latex can range from mild to severe, and even be fatal in some cases. Latex allergy symptoms include skin irritation, runny nose, rash, and difficulty breathing. This issue is especially ...
Preliminary results of a large-scale study demonstrating the clinical benefits of EchoGo® Heart Failure were shared at the American College of Cardiology (ACC 2023) conference last month. Using only an apical four-chamber ultrasound view, this new AI-enabled platform can identify heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and has been shown to minimize the indeterminate ...
Temperature as well as relative humidity can affect the airborne survival of viruses, bacteria and even fungi. As such, environmental control in hospitals is important because disease transmission from the aerosol or airborne infection is possible. Environmental exposure is a common hazard for organisms and throughout this can pass on from one host to another. Factors such as temperature, ...

The purpose of the paper is to test a Low Exergy heating and cooling system (LowEx system) that enables the creation of healing and comfort conditions for individual user with minimal possible energy use. The LowEx system was tested in a model room for burn patient and compared with the conventional one. Thermal comfort conditions were simulated for three individual users (burn patient, ...
In this review the author is focusing on hospital wastes management, the condition of waste segregation, the types of wastes treatments and solving the identified problems were suggested. Hospital wastes nature “Hospital wastes” refers to all wastes, biological or non biological from hospitals, that is discarded and ...
Both Formaldehyde and Glutaraldehyde are found in the hospital environment at higher concentrations than those to which the general population is exposed. Their possible adverse health effects are therefore very important to those working in certain parts of hospitals and to patients whose health status may be compromised. Both compounds are irritants and can cause sensitisation. Glutaraldehyde ...
Large imports of cattle and meat and bone meal from countries potentially affected by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) may have led to the BSE agent entering Belgium, and the occurrence of domestic BSE cases. The first case was confirmed in 1997. The ability to avoid amplification of incoming infectivity, as well as to reduce already circulating infectivity, was greatly improved in Belgium ...
We examined the effects of air mass types on hospital admissions due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, in Athens, Greece for 1992-2000. Health data were analysed according to the sex and age group of the patients admitted to the hospital. It was found that increased hospital admissions were associated with very poor ventilation for the Athens Basin and moisture environment. Hospital ...
