Summary
Hand eczema (HE) affects 13.2% of Dutch beekeepers annually, a higher prevalence than in the general population. While beekeeping can worsen HE, most beekeepers report minimal impact on their work.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Occupational Health
Background:
- Previous studies on beekeepers primarily focused on propolis allergy.
- The prevalence of hand eczema (HE) within the beekeeper population remained uninvestigated.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of HE among Dutch beekeepers.
- To assess the impact of beekeeping on HE and vice versa.
- To identify factors associated with HE in this occupational group.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional online survey was administered to Dutch beekeepers.
- Data collected included beekeeping activities, HE prevalence, severity, and impact on work.
Main Results:
- 13.2% experienced HE in the past year, with a lifetime prevalence of 20.5%.
- Atopic dermatitis was significantly associated with HE (OR 4.53).
- 28.6% of tested beekeepers with HE were allergic to propolis; 33% reported HE worsened by beekeeping, but only 3.8% reduced work.
Conclusions:
- Hand eczema is more prevalent in Dutch beekeepers than in the general population.
- Despite potential exacerbation by beekeeping, HE generally has a low impact on beekeeping activities for most individuals.

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

01:24Finding Volume Using Cross-Sectional Area
61
For solids whose cross-sectional areas vary in a predictable way, volume can be determined by integrating these areas along an axis perpendicular to the slices. This approach is particularly useful for polyhedral solids, where classical geometric formulas may not be immediately applicable. A tetrahedron provides a clear example of how cross-sectional integration can be applied to a three-dimensional object with continuously changing geometry.Consider a tetrahedron with height h and a base that...

1.6K
Profile leveling and cross-sections are surveying methods used to determine and document terrain elevations for infrastructure projects such as highways, railroads, canals, and pipelines. These methods provide data for earthwork planning and alignment of proposed routes. Profile leveling involves measuring elevations along a fixed line to create a vertical terrain profile. A surveyor sets up a leveling instrument at the benchmark (BM) and records a backsight (BS) to determine the...

4.6K
The cross-sectional anatomy of the spinal cord offers a detailed view of its complex structure and function within the central nervous system. At the core of the spinal cord lies the gray matter, characterized by its butterfly or "H"-shaped appearance in cross-section. This central region is enveloped by white matter, with the overall structure divided into symmetrical halves by the dorsal median sulcus and the ventral median fissure.

01:34Crossing Over
171.7K
Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process...

01:30Crossing Over
6.4K
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I. Genetic recombination gives rise to allelic diversity in the newly formed daughter cells. In humans, crossing over produces genetically distinct haploid egg and sperm cells that undergo fertilization to produce unique offspring. Before cell division starts, the germ cell’s chromosome(s) undergo duplication in the S phase of the cell cycle. As the cells enter prophase I,...
