Effects of low concentrations of ozone gas exposure on percutaneous oxygen saturation and inflammatory responses in a mouse model of Dermatophagoides farinae-induced asthma
Arch Toxicol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s00204-023-03593-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOzone gas is widely used in hospitals as well as homes to control COVID-19 infection owing to its cost-effectiveness. Safety standard value and the tolerable value of ozone gas are set at 0.05 ppm and 0.1 ppm, respectively, in developed countries; however, this value was principally determined for healthy individuals, and the risks associated with ozone gas inhalation in patients with pulmonary diseases remains unknown. Recently, we demonstrated that 0.1 ppm ozone gas exposure significantly aggravates the symptoms of acute lung injury...

Self-harm among youth during the first 28 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario, Canada: a population-based study
We reported relative differences between observed and expected monthly rates overall and by age group (10-13 yr and 14-17 yr), sex and mental health service use (new and continuing).RESULTS: In this population of about 1.3 million children and adolescents, rates of acute care visits for self-harm during the pandemic were higher than expected for emergency department visits (0.27/1000 population v. 0.21/1000 population; adjusted rate ratio [RR] 1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-1.39) and hospital admissions (0.74/10 000 population v. 0.43/10 000 population, adjusted RR 1.72, 95% CI 1.46-2.03). This increase was primar...

This study was carried out in the Department of Pharmacy at Al-Kut University College in Wasit, Iraq, in conjunction with Al Zahraa Hospital from June 2021 to March 2022. A total of 45 COVID-19 patients participated in this study who were grouped into as follows: Group I (n = 23) who had no previous history of hypertension and Group II (n = 22) who had previous hypertension and were treated with amlodipine. Expression of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), coagulation factor V (F5), and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+ dependent) 1 Like (MTHFD1L) genes was determined. P values were calculated by Chi-square t...
