Abstract

Allergic rhinitis being a heterogeneous disorderis often under-diagnosed despite its high prevalence. The age, sex, race or socioeconomic status has no bearing on those who get affected.It is one of the most common chronic conditions in the developed world with a significant impact on the quality of life.Methodology: All the patients who were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis satisfying the inclusion criteria were included in the study by universal sampling, after obtaining informed consent. A total of 42 patients were thus included. Statistical Analysis:The baseline data was expressed as percentages & proportions. Mcnemar Chi square test & Paired t-test were applied for comparison between the two tests & for analyzing the pre-treatment & post- treatment values ofnasal smear eosinophil counts & AEC. Results: Sensitivities of the tests were calculated as 40% & 54% for nasal smear eosinophil count & AEC respectively. The difference in sensitivities were found to be significant (p

15. Evaluation of the Ventilation Rate from the Decay of Filterpaper Air Samples of Thoron or Radon Daughters

Author

Somayaji, K. S.

Abstract

The inhalation hazard associated with the processing of thorium and uranium is mostly due to the daughter products of thoron and radon than to the parent gases themselves. With the provision of ventilation the equilibrium between the parent and the decay products is disturbed resulting in a marked reduction of the inhalation hazard. TSIVOGLOU et al.described a method of estimating the relative proportions of the various daughter products of radon in the atmosphere, based on an analysis of the shape of the α-decay curves of filter-paper air samples.
