The BIOFIRE System and Your Immune System The BIOFIRE System offers syndromic testing for infectious diseases allowing healthcare providers to select the right test first time ethanol fireplace burner benefit from faster diagnosis and more specific treatment Clinicians benefit from improved antibiotic stewardship Labs gain efficiency and cost savings The BioFire Pneumonia Plus Panel PN panel tests native sputum including miniBAL as well as endotracheal sludge and bronchoalveolar Slurries including mini BAL for 33 clinically important pathogens and resistance genes to antimicrobials within an hour Respiratory The burning of biomass wood plants agroforestry and other organic materials creates gaseous pollutants and fine particulate matter 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 diseases like asthma COPD and lung cancer Additionally this kind of air pollution can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a major contributing factor to the burden of disease in the most vulnerable populations including people who are of lower socioeconomic status SES In the COVID19 pandemic a number of communities were exposed levels of air pollution resulting from wildfires However the public health response to this environmental issue has been limited and largely focused on communication about the management of symptoms This knowledge gap is alarming given the evidence that smoking cigarettes and other causes of air pollution can cause health problems Researchers are currently evaluating the best ways to protect public health during future events of this type NIH is funding research on this critical public health problem through the BLUE CORAL study as well as its successor FIRE CORAL For the first time a prospective cohort study will assess longterm outcomes from exposure to smoke from wildfires and other sources FIRE CORAL recruits adult participants who are hospitalized for COVID19 index episodes and who speak English or Spanish but arent pregnant The protocol for FIRE CORAL includes a set of tests inperson that objectively measure the pulmonary function test and lung imaging as well as functional assessment The lungs are especially sensitive to the effects of smoke and other particles since they can trigger or worsen chronic respiratory diseases like emphysema or COPD and increase the risk of developing pneumonia Smoke exposure can cause adverse effects on your health To reduce or prevent these negative effects avoid outdoor activities and wear the EPA N95 mask This mask is designed to capture small particles Smoke can also cause irritation to the eyes and throat and cause a runny nose To minimize symptoms the lungs need to be flushed by drinking plenty of water and taking medications which reduce inflammation like corticosteroids Bloodstream The bloodstream is your first line of defense against germs that invade your system Special cells called dendritic cells are like your fire departments call center they collect the antigens molecules that trigger an immune response from invading germs and release proteins that trigger other white blood cells to to fight them The white blood cells differentials and band cells were elevated during firefighters firefighting shifts and compared to levels following physical exertion without firefighting Skin As the wildfires in California spewed smoke and dust into the air over the course of autumn and winter dermatologists were concerned about how that might affect the skin of those exposed to it Maria Wei a graduate student at the University of California Irvine is studying how extreme fire pollution affects skin Her research was published in Scientific Reports on April 22nd Weis research has shown that the temperature of a persons skin changes depending on the length of time that the body is exposed to flames It takes upwards of two hours for the skin to reach its flash point the point at which it burns and then turns into a ashy Thats why its important to not stay near the campfire or a fire and why you should wear protective clothing when you go outside during a forest fire or even just a hot day While it is important to be vigilant against firerelated pollution theres no way to stop forest fires from happening Wei is forecasting that the number of people suffering the consequences of wildfires will increase as climate change causes more and more forests to burn This means that more people will need to wear caps and long sleeves and thick moisturizers Its also worth knowing that atopic dermis itchy skin that a lot of people suffer from can be exacerbated by air pollution from wildfires She suggests that this is because the particles in smoke can clog pores making the condition worse Atopic dermatitis may also make people more sensitive to UV light This can be exacerbated by smoke from wildfires This can cause people to be more likely to go to tanning salons and may cause people to tan less protection than they should A treatment using ice and fire could help to reduce atopic symptoms of dermatitis however it isnt recommended for those with an open wound or rash This treatment is not recommended for those with active acne or if youre pregnant or nursing The IS Clinical Fire Ice Facial is offered at Novuskin Las Vegas premier membership MedSpa is a resultdriven intensive facial that bridges the mild facelift and the peel without requiring any downtime Its designed to resurface the skin reduce the appearance of rosacea reduce acne scarring diminish lines and wrinkles and stimulate cellular renewal This is a great way to give your skin a radiant glow Infections The human body is a complex system of organs and tissues that work to guard us against infection Infections can be caused by microorganisms like bacteria viruses and parasites that infect healthy cells causing them to multiply in uncontrolled ways Your immune system can react by displaying symptoms of illness These symptoms can include anything from a swollen or achy nose to stomach upset however they may also include a high fever swollen glands and an itchy skin rash Your symptoms can be affected by the nature of the infection its location and even your temperature Infections spread in many ways but the most common are spread from person to via droplets that remain in the air after sneezing or coughing This is how bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis strep and meningococcal illness 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 or gonorrhea are transmitted through direct contact with affected mucous surfaces or tissues or indirectly through contaminated surfaces Certain bacterial diseases are transmitted by insects like mosquitoes ticks or fleas and are transmitted when they bite you Infections parasites and other microorganisms are tiny enough to be able to get into your bloodstream to infect your cells This can result in serious illnesses such as the common cold or AIDS Fungi can cause a variety of skin ailments such as ringworm and athletes foot while some affect the lungs or the nervous system such as the rabies virus The BioFire Panel employs our revolutionary FilmArray Technology to test the sputum and bronchoalveolar fluid samples to provide a complete list of pathogens involved in upper respiratory infection The kit comes with a reagent bag that contains all the chemistry necessary to perform reverse transcription as well as nested multiplex PCR detection in one machine This is a simple method that helps clinicians identify and treat patients with a variety respiratory symptoms This test has been granted an Emergency Use Authorization and is available through bioMerieuxs CLIA moderate and highcomplexity labs
