What to do if diagnosed with Occupational Asthma due to allergies to laboratory animals.?

by di.wineanddine

Question by Joanna D: What to do if diagnosed with Occupational Asthma due to allergies to laboratory animals.?
A friend of mine was diagnosed with Occupational Asthma resulting from becoming allergic to mice and guinea pigs which he works with on a daily basis in a laboratory setting.. This asthma was a direct result of his job and 2 doctors agree with this… Both doctors have written letters stating that he can no longer work with these animals because of risk of long term lung disease.. no other treatment options are available.
His company’s occupational health and hr departments have not been particularly helpful or informative other than suggesting FMLA leave.
What are his rights? Can or should he take Family Medical Leave (FMLA).. Workers Comp? Anyone with similar issues? Could be terminated?
Thanks

Answer by Susan S
He should leave the job and go on medical disability temporarily, or else unemployment insurance benefits, and look for another job. Having the doctor write a letter to the employer could be helpful.

Classifications, Main Symptoms and Laboratory Diagnosis of Leukemia

Classifications, Main Symptoms and Laboratory Diagnosis of Leukemia   

Article by D Chosen 1

Leukemia, cancer of the blood-forming tissues, is the most common form of childhood cancer. However, even for a child with the most favorable prognosis, leukemia presents innumerable physical, clinic, physicians’ office, and community can do much to prevent some problems and lessen others.

ClassificationLeukemia is a broad term given to a group of malignant diseases of the bone marrow and lymphatic system. Current research has revealed that it is a complex disease of varying heterogeneity. Consequently classification has become increasingly more sophisticated and essential, since identification of the subtype of leukemia has therapeutic and prognostic implications. The following is an overview of the morphologic, cyto-chemical and immunologic characteristics of the leukemia.

Morphology and cytochemical markersLeukemia is classified according to its predominant cell type and level of maturity. As described by the following:

Lympho- for leukemia involving the lymphoid or lymphatic system.Myelo- for those of myeloid (bone marrow) originBlastic and acute- for those involving immature cellsCystic and chronic- for those involving mature cells

In children, two forms are generally recognized: acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and acute nonlymphoid (myelogenous) leukemia (ANLL or AML). Synonyms for ALL include lymphatic, lumphocytic, lymphoblastic, and lympho-blastoid leukemia. Usually the term “stem cell” or “blast cell leukemia” also refers to the lymphoid type of leukemia. Synonyms for the ANLL type include granulocytic, myelo-cytic, monocytic myelogenous, monoblastic, and mono-myeloblastic. There are also much rarer forms of leukemia that are named for the specific cell involved, such as basophilic or eosinphilic leukemia.

Because of the confusion and inconsistency in classifyin the leukemias, acute lymphoblastic and acute nonlymphoblastic leukemias are further subdivided according to another system known as the French-American-British (FAB) system. In the FAB system, the subtypes are determined after a thorough study of the morphology (structure) and cytochemical reactivity of the leukemic cells. Accordingly, ALL is subdivided into 3 types, Li stands for Lymphoblastic leukemia, child type, which accounts for 80% to 85% of all childhood leukemia and has the best prognosis, ANLL is classified into 7 types and comprises 10% to 20% of the leukemias in children. The types with the best prognosis are Mi, acute myelocytic leukemia without differentiation, and Mz, acute myelotic leukemia with differentiation.

The various cells also demonstrate different reactions when they are exposed to certain chemicals. For example, lymphoblasts show no reactivity to Sudan black stain and perioxidase, whereas myeloblasts demonstrate reactivity to both.

Another important differentiation between the cell types is the absence or presence of Auer rods, granules containing RNA that appear in the cytoplasm of affected myeloblasts and promyelocytes. Their presence is a strong diagnostic indicator for certain types of ANLL and is associated with improved prognosis.

The main clinical symptoms* Fever, which the child shows during long time and there is no evident signs of infection* Pain in joints and bones (ossalgia)* Pale color of the skin* Enlargement of peripheral lymphatic nodes of different groups which are usually not painful; during palpation* Enlargement of liver and spleen* Fatigue* Hemorrhage syndrome petechiae, bruises and bleeding)

Laboratory diagnosticLaboratory diagnostic includes common blood analysis. WBC differential count and sternal puncture. The main dates are:* Leukocytosis (with leucocytic levels up to 40-100x1o^6) or leucopenia* Anaemia of hypoplastic origin* Thrombocytopenia* WBC count (blasts can be seen in peripheral blood)* In marrow aspirate blasts are higher than 20%

Q&A: EPA (State of NC) Regulations on Laboratory Equipment Calibration in Environmental Testing Labs?

by NASA Webb Telescope

Question by ToxLabRat: EPA (State of NC) Regulations on Laboratory Equipment Calibration in Environmental Testing Labs?
This question is directed to any person who is currently working in an Environmental Testing Laboratory which is certified by the state to perform analysis on wastewater, drinking water, soil and other sample types and more specifically, anyone who holds state certifications for North Carolina.

I know that it is required to have all auto-pipettors calibrated every 6 months by a certified party, however I am unsure if the same standard applies to bottle top dispensers (I.e. Dispensette tops). Please go to the below link if you are uncertain of what I am referring to:

http://www.brandtech.com/prodpage.asp?prodid=4701321

Since these tops dispense reagents and standards just like pipettors, it seems odd to me that there would not be calibration requirements placed on them as well. If anyone has any information I would appreciate it.

If you look at the powerpoint presentation (first reference) from the NC QA/QC Pages (2nd reference), they are included (slide 56 in the notes).

Unreal PSX E2L6 Secret Laboratory playthrough

Playthrough of the MH versions of Matthew Kagle’s maps, E2L6 (although the singleplayer/coop Unreal version, not UT one). Another video will be soon uploaded hopefully. Played on medium difficulty, so monster count is exactly same as the original maps, only sliths have been replaced by nitrogensliths and added the asbestos suit locker. Edited out some unnecessary parts, due to youtube limit of 10 minutes. For some reason, the forcefield at the beginning didn’t limit my health on 100, this is first time it ever happened. Talk about weird things happening, on the second video I recorded of next map, Unreal crashed halfway through due to carcass bug, so I have to yet record that one. Various beta music added in the video, mostly to fill the missing sound altogether, although the map itself uses same tracks.

Asbestos Gloves in the Laboratory 1950s

Due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties, asbestos was widely used in the twentieth century for a variety of purposes, including the manufacturing of protective fire and heat-resistant clothing. Asbestos gloves were commonly used for industrial purposes to protect the hands of workers from extremely high temperatures. While the use of asbestos gloves and other asbestos clothing did protect such workers from the hazards of their work, it is certain that the use of such clothing also exposed workers to equally serious hazards. Asbestos gloves typically contain anywhere between 40% and 100% asbestos. The manufacture of asbestos gloves and other asbestos protective clothing was banned in the USA in 1990. Support the work of the The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO) in sserving as the united voice for all asbestos victims, uniting asbestos victims, educating the public and medical community about asbestos related diseases, supporting research that leads to early detection, prevention and a cure, ensuring equitable compensation for victims and their families, and banning the use of asbestos. The ADAO website is at www.asbestosdiseaseawareness.org
