The BIOFIRE System and Your Immune System The BIOFIRE System offers syndromic testing for infectious illnesses, allowing healthcare professionals to select the right test the first time. Patients benefit from faster diagnoses and more targeted treatments. Clinicians benefit from better stewardship of antibiotics. Labs save money and increase efficiency. The BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia plus panel (PN panel) analyzes native sputum endotracheal aspirate, and bronchoalveolar specimens (including mini-BAL) for 33 pathogens with clinical relevance and antimicrobial resistance genes with semiquantitative results in about an hour. Respiratory The burning of biomass (wood, plants and other organic material) produces gaseous pollutants as well as fine particles which negatively impact the respiratory system. Climate change can exacerbate the negative impacts of forest fires on the health of humans. In the United States, wildfire smoke has been linked to respiratory illnesses, including asthma, COPD and lung cancer. This kind of pollution can also increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and is a major contributor to the burden on disease among the most vulnerable populations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many communities were exposed levels of air pollution from wildfires. However the public health response to this environmental problem is sporadic and mainly focused on educating people about symptom management. This lack of knowledge is alarming due to the evidence of possible health risks from continued exposure to smoke and other causes of poor air quality. Researchers are currently assessing the best ways to protect public's health during any future events of this nature. NIH is funding research into this important public health issue through the BLUE CORAL study and its successor FIRE CORAL. For the first time an prospective study will examine the long-term effects of exposure to smoke from wildfires or other sources. FIRE CORAL is seeking adult participants who are hospitalized for COVID-19's index episode who speak English or Spanish and are not pregnant. The protocol for Fire Coral includes a variety of assessments in person that objectively measure pulmonary function testing lung imaging and functional assessment. The lungs are the most sensitive to the effects of smoke and other particles since they can trigger or worsen chronic respiratory illnesses such as emphysema, asthma and COPD and increase the risk of developing pneumonia. Smoke exposure can cause adverse effects on your health. To minimize or avoid these negative effects, avoid outdoor activities and wear the EPA “N95” mask. ethanol fireplace fuel is designed to catch fine particles. Smoking can cause irritation of the eyes and throat, and can cause the nose to run. To reduce the symptoms, drink lots of water, and take medication to reduce inflammation, such as corticosteroids. Bloodstream Your bloodstream is at the forefront of fighting off germs that enter your body. Dendritic cells are special cells, act as a call center for your fire department. They are able to collect antigens from germs and release proteins to alert other white cells to fight them. The total number of white blood cells, differentials, and band cells increased following firefighters' firefighting tasks, compared to levels after strenuous exercise without fire-fighting. Skin As the wildfires in California released smoke and dust into the air this past fall and winter dermatologists were concerned how this could affect the skin of those exposed to it. Maria Wei is a graduate student at the University of California, Irvine. She studies how extreme wildfire pollution affects the skin. Her research was published on April 22 2012 in Scientific Reports. The research of Wei shows that the temperature of the skin changes depending on how long the body is exposed to flames. It can take up to two hours for a skin to reach its flash point, the place where it begins to burn and then turns to ash. It is important to avoid staying close to a fire or campfire and wear protective clothing when outdoors during a hot or humid day. Forest fires will continue occur, despite the measures implemented to reduce the risk of wildfire pollution. Wei believes that as climate change causes forests to burn faster, the number of people who suffer from wildfires will grow. This means that more people will need to wear hats and long sleeves and also thick moisturizers. It's also worth noting that atopic dermis (itchy skin) that a lot of people suffer from is often exacerbated by wildfire air pollution. The reason for this is due to smoke particles can block pores, which makes atopic dermatitis worse. Atopic dermatitis can cause people to be more sensitive towards UV light. This can be exacerbated by smoke from wildfires. This makes people more likely to go to tanning salons and could cause the skin to get darker with less protection than they should. While a cold and fire facial may reduce the effects of atopic skin dermatitis, it's not recommended for anyone with an open wound or rash on their face. Patients with active acne should be cautious If you're breastfeeding or pregnant, it's best to steer clear of this treatment altogether. The IS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial located at Novuskin Las Vegas' premier membership MedSpa is a results-driven intensive facial that bridges between a mild facelift and a peel, without requiring downtime. It's designed to smooth the skin, alleviate the appearance of rosacea, lessen acne scarring, diminish fine lines, and encourage cellular renewal. It's an amazing treatment to give yourself a radiant glow. Infections The human body is made up of a complex system of organs and tissues that work together to defend us from infections. Infections can be caused by microorganisms, such as parasites, viruses, and bacteria that invade healthy cells, causing them to multiply uncontrollably. Your immune system can react by exhibiting symptoms of illness. These symptoms can include anything from a swollen or achy nose to a stomach upset however, they may also include a fever high or swollen glands. You may also experience an eruption. The severity of your symptoms may be affected by the nature of the infection, its location and even your temperature. Infections can be spread in various ways, but the most common is through airborne droplets that remain after sniffling or coughing. Bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, strep throat, meningococcal disease, and Legionnaires disease spread through this method, along with certain viral infections such as the common cold and influenza. Certain bacteria-related infections, like skin infections and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia are transmitted by direct contact with infected tissues or mucous membranes, or through indirect contact with surfaces that are contaminated. Certain bacterial infections are transmitted by insects like ticks, fleas or mosquitoes. The virus and the parasites are small enough to penetrate your bloodstream and infect your cells, which leads to serious illnesses like the common cold and AIDS. Fungi can cause skin conditions like athlete's feet and ringworm and some can affect the respiratory system and the nervous system. The BioFire PN Panel employs our revolutionary FilmArray technology to analyze a comprehensive list of pathogens that are involved in upper respiratory infections in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples. The kit includes an reagent pouch that houses all the chemistry needed to perform reverse transcription PCR, nested multiplex PCR and detection with a single device. It's a simple solution to help clinicians syndromicly identify and treat patients with different respiratory symptoms. The test has been approved as an Emergency Use Authorization and is available through bioMerieux's CLIA moderate and high complexity labs.
