Perioperative anaphylactic reactions to central venous and pulmonary artery catheters containing chlorhexidine, sulfadiazine, or latex: a historical cohort study
CONCLUSION: Perioperative anaphylactic reactions related to CVCs/PACs containing chlorhexidine, silver sulfadiazine, or latex were rare in this large historical cohort study. We identified 2,937 patients with pre-existing chlorhexidine, sulfa, and/or latex allergies and had CVCs/PACs inserted that contained these substances. Although few cases of perioperative anaphylaxis attributable to these substances were observed in patients with corresponding allergies, the potential for substantial complication exists. Providers should be aware of the potential for these hidden exposures.PMID:36829103 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-023-02403-8

How to Stay Safe From Wildfire Smoke
This week, many people who live in the U.S. have woken up to hazy skies. Wildfire smoke from Eastern Canada continues to trail down the East Coast and as far west as Minnesota. State and local authorities have issued air-quality warnings throughout the affected regions, and it could be days before they’re lifted.
Wildfire pollution may be a new threat to some of these regions, but with global temperatures climbing, it could be more common in the future. Here’s what to know about staying safe until the smoke clears.

Prevalence of non-food allergies among non-immigrants, long-time immigrants and recent immigrants in Canada.
CONCLUSION: This study finds a distinctly lower prevalence of non-food allergies among immigrants compared with non-immigrants, with the difference diminishing with longer duration of residence in Canada. The findings highlight the potential of environmental determinants of allergy development that warrant further investigation, and demonstrate the need for multicultural strategies to manage the public health burden of allergic conditions.

Credit: UNDPBy Thalif DeenUNITED NATIONS, Jul 31 2017 (IPS)The United States is lagging far behind its Western allies – and perhaps most of the key developing countries – in refusing to act decisively to end a longstanding health and environmental hazard: the use of mercury in dentistry. The 28-member European Union (EU), with an estimated population of over 510 million people, recently announced its decision to ban amalgam use in children under age 15, pregnant women, and breastfeeding...

Do community demographics, environmental characteristics and access to care affect risks of developing ACOS and mortality in people with asthma?
Individuals with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap syndrome (ACOS) have a more rapid decline in lung function, more frequent exacerbations and worse quality of life than those with asthma or COPD alone [1–3]. Various risk factors may be associated with the development of ACOS, such as smoking history and status, obesity, comorbidity and indoor and outdoor environmental exposures [1, 4–6]. The risk of developing ACOS may vary substantially by region, since demographic and environmental risk factors and community characteristics are not geographically homogeneous. Here, we use popula...
