The BIOFIRE System and Your Immune System

The BIOFIRE System provides syndromic infectious disease testing, empowering healthcare providers to select the most appropriate test, the first time. Patients benefit from faster diagnoses and more targeted therapy. Clinicians benefit from improved stewardship of antibiotics. Labs improve efficiency and cost savings.

The BioFire FilmArray Pneumonia plus panel (PN panel) examines native sputum, endotracheal aspirate, and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens (including mini-BAL) for 33 clinically relevant pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes with semiquantitative results that take less than an hour.

Respiratory

The burning of biomass, like wood, plants and other organic materials, produces gaseous pollutants and fine particles that adversely affect the respiratory system. Climate change may exacerbate the negative effects of forest fires to human health.

In the United States, wildfire smoke has been linked to respiratory illnesses, including asthma, COPD and lung cancer. Additionally, this kind of air pollution can be an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is a significant cause of disease in the most vulnerable populations which includes those with lower socioeconomic status (SES).

During the COVID-19 epidemic, many communities were exposed to unhealthy levels of air pollution due to wildfires. However the public health response to this environmental problem has been limited and largely focused on educating people about the management of symptoms. This knowledge gap is alarming due to the fact that smoking and other sources of air pollution can lead to health issues.

Researchers are currently assessing the best way to safeguard public's health during future events of this nature. NIH funds research on this important public health issue through the BLUE CORAL and FIRE CORAL studies.

For the first time, a prospective cohort study will evaluate long-term effects of exposure to smoke from wildfires and other sources. FIRE CORAL recruits adult participants who are hospitalized for COVID-19 index episodes and who speak English or Spanish however, they are not pregnant. The FIRE CORAL protocol includes a series of tests conducted in-person, objectively measuring pulmonary function testing and lung imaging as well as functional assessments.

The lungs are particularly sensitive to the effects of smoke and other particles due to the fact that they can trigger or exacerbate chronic respiratory illnesses such as emphysema, asthma and COPD, and increase the risk of pneumonia. Smoke exposure can have negative effects on health. To lessen or stop these effects, avoid outdoor activities and wear the EPA "N95" mask. This mask is designed to catch fine particles.

Smoking can cause irritation to the throat and eyes and lead to the nose to run. To lessen the effects the lungs must be flushed by drinking lots of fluids and taking medications which reduce inflammation, like corticosteroids.

Bloodstream

Your bloodstream is on the front lines of fighting germs that enter your body. Special cells called dendritic cells are like the fire department's call center. they gather antigens (molecules that trigger an immune response) from invaders and release proteins that alert other white blood cells to to fight them. Circulating white blood cells, differentials, and band cells were boosted following firefighters' fire-fighting shifts, and compared to levels following physical exertion without fire-fighting.

Skin

Dermatologists were concerned that smoke and ash from the California wildfires could have an adverse effect on the skin of those exposed to these substances. Maria Wei is a graduate student at the University of California, Irvine. She examines how extreme wildfire pollution impacts the skin. Her research was published in Scientific Reports on April 22nd.

The research of Wei shows that the temperature of a person's skin changes based on how long the body is exposed to flames. It could take up to two hours for the skin of an individual to reach its "flash point"--the place where it starts to burn and then turn to ash. That's why it's important to avoid being near the campfire or a ethanol fire, and why you should wear protective clothing when you are outside in the midst of a forest fire or even just an extremely hot day.

While it's important to be aware of the dangers of wildfire pollution, there is no way to stop forest bioethanol fires from happening. Wei is predicting that the number of people suffering the effects of wildfires will rise as climate change causes more and more forests to be burned. This means that more people will need to wear long sleeves, hats, and thick moisturizers.

Air pollution from wildfires can cause atopic dermatitis to the skin, which is a condition that causes itchy skin in many people. She claims that the particles in smoke can clog pores and cause atopic skin to become worse.

Another issue is that atopic dermatitis tends to make people more sensitive to UV light, which can also be aggravated by wildfire smoke. This makes people more likely to seek out tanning salons, and it can also cause them to tan with less protection than they should.

A fire and ice treatment can help reduce atopic skin dermatitis symptoms, bio ethanol fireplaces bio flame fireplace insert [http://ecostart.co.kr/gb/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&Wr_id=494193] but it is not recommended for anyone with an open wound or rash. This treatment is not recommended for those who have active acne, or if you are pregnant or nursing. The IS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial at Novuskin, Las Vegas' most prestigious membership MedSpa offers a thorough and effective facial that bridges the gap between a light facial and a peel, without requiring any downtime. It's designed to smooth the skin, alleviate the appearance of rosacea, lessen acne scarring, diminish lines and wrinkles, and stimulate cellular renewal. This is a fantastic treatment to provide your skin with a radiant glow.

Infections

The human body is a complicated system of organs and tissues that work together to guard us against infections. Infections can be caused by microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and parasites that invade healthy cells, causing them to multiply in uncontrolled ways. When this happens, your immune system may react by displaying symptoms of illness. The symptoms could range from a runny nose to a stomach that is upset, but can also include a fever, swollen lymph glands, or an scratch. The nature of the infection and its location can affect your symptoms.

Infections can be spread through a variety of methods, but the most common are from person to person by droppings that hang in the air after coughing or sneezing. This is how bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, strep and meningococcal disease and viral infections such a common cold and influenza are transmitted. Certain bacterial infections, such as skin infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) like Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be transmitted through direct contact with infected mucous surfaces or tissues, or biofuel fireplace insert indirectly through contaminated surfaces. Certain infections caused by bacteria are transmitted by insects like ticks, fleas or mosquitoes.

Viruses, parasites, and other microorganisms are tiny enough that they can enter the bloodstream and cause infection to your cells. This can lead to serious illnesses such as the common cold or AIDS. Fungi can cause a variety of skin ailments such as ringworm, athlete's foot. Some affect the lungs or the nervous system, like the rabies virus.

The BioFire Panel employs our revolutionary FilmArray Technology to test sputum and bronchoalveolar fluid samples to provide a complete list of pathogens involved in upper respiratory infection. The kit comes with the reagent pouch which stores all the necessary chemistry to perform reverse transcription PCR, nested multiplex PCR and detection on a single machine. It's a simple-to-use tool to assist clinicians in identifying syndromic patterns and treat patients with a variety of respiratory symptoms. This test has been issued an Emergency Use Authorization. It's available in bioMerieux CLIA medium and high complexity laboratories.
