Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment01:25

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Asthma-I: Introduction01:29

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.6K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation01:19

Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation

1.3K
Besides the pressure difference between the external environment and the lungs, the airflow rate and ease of pulmonary ventilation are also influenced by three other factors: surface tension of the fluid in the alveoli, compliance of the lungs, and airway resistance.
Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...

Conservation of AC Power01:15

Conservation of AC Power

331
The principle of power preservation is applicable to both ac and dc circuits. This principle, when applied to AC power, asserts that the complex, real, and reactive powers produced by the source are equal to the total complex, real, and reactive powers absorbed by the loads. When two load impedances are connected in parallel to an ac source V, the complex power provided by the source can be calculated using the relation

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Nearly 36% of Americans breathe unhealthy air, with pollution disproportionately affecting minority communities. This highlights environmental injustice and the need for cleaner energy and increased green spaces to protect public health.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Environmental Justice

Background:

  • Air pollution affects nearly 36% of Americans, exacerbating respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
  • Disparities in air pollution exposure persist between racial groups, constituting environmental injustice.
  • These disparities remained even during the COVID-19 lockdown, indicating systemic issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review initiatives addressing air pollution as a component of environmental justice.
  • To explore the science on health impacts of air pollution.
  • To identify evidence-based mitigations for reducing air pollution's health effects.

Main Methods:

  • A nonsystematic literature review was conducted by the American College of Preventive Medicine's Science and Translation Committee.
  • The review focused on environmental justice, health impacts, and mitigation strategies related to air pollution.
  • Literature was examined to understand current scientific understanding and potential interventions.

Main Results:

  • Air pollution is linked to acute respiratory symptoms, cardiovascular disease, cancer, asthma, and reduced lung function.
  • Advocacy for cleaner energy sources and increased green space is recommended.
  • Increased research, surveillance, education, and physician awareness are crucial.

Conclusions:

  • Preventive medicine physicians should educate patients and practitioners on air pollution risks and mitigation.
  • Healthcare systems should reduce emissions and incorporate pollution data into social determinants of health (SDOH).
  • Policy recommendations include financing in-home interventions for asthma and developing pediatric guidelines.
