Machine vision analysis on abnormal respiratory conditions of mice inhaling particles containing cadmium.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Inhalable environmental toxicants can induce pulmonary malfunction resulting abnormal respiratory conditions. The traditional methods currently available to detect the respiratory condition of animals rely on differential pressure transducers and sig...

Potential dermal and inhalation exposure to imidacloprid and risk assessment among applicators during treatment in cotton field in China.

The Science of the total environment
Quantifying operator exposure to pesticides is a key component of the decision-making procedure for risk assessment. China is the largest cotton-planting country in the world. Dense cotton planting patterns and pesticide overuse potentially place Chi...

Biomarkers for Pulmonary Inflammation and Fibrosis and Lung Ventilation Function in Chinese Occupational Refractory Ceramic Fibers-Exposed Workers.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) can cause adverse health effects on workers' respiratory system, yet no proper biomarkers have been used to detect early pulmonary injury of RCFs-exposed workers. This study assessed the levels of two biomarkers that ...

Evaluation of genotoxic effects in Brazilian agricultural workers exposed to pesticides and cigarette smoke using machine-learning algorithms.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Monitoring exposure to xenobiotics by biomarker analyses, such as a micronucleus assay, is extremely important for the precocious detection and prevention of diseases, such as oral cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate genotoxic effects in ru...

Impact of robotics and a suspended lead suit on physician radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND: Reports of left-sided brain malignancies among interventional cardiologists have heightened concerns regarding physician radiation exposure. This study evaluated the impact of a suspended lead suit and robotic system on physician radiatio...

Robotically assisted percutaneous coronary intervention: benefits to the patient and the cardiologist.

Expert review of cardiovascular therapy
Robotic percutaneous interventional systems represent the future of interventional cardiology. Robotic technology significantly reduces operator exposure to ionizing radiation, and improves ergonomics in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, thereb...

Prediction of hearing loss among the noise-exposed workers in a steel factory using artificial intelligence approach.

International archives of occupational and environmental health
PURPOSE: Prediction of hearing loss in noisy workplaces is considered to be an important aspect of hearing conservation program. Artificial intelligence, as a new approach, can be used to predict the complex phenomenon such as hearing loss. Using art...

Environmental contamination, product contamination and workers exposure using a robotic system for antineoplastic drug preparation.

Journal of oncology pharmacy practice : official publication of the International Society of Oncology Pharmacy Practitioners
Environmental contamination, product contamination and technicians exposure were measured following preparation of iv bags with cyclophosphamide using the robotic system CytoCare. Wipe samples were taken inside CytoCare, in the clean room environment...

Quantitative computed tomography imaging classification of cement dust-exposed patients-based Kolmogorov-Arnold networks.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND: Occupational health assessment is critical for detecting respiratory issues caused by harmful exposures, such as cement dust. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) imaging provides detailed insights into lung structure and function, enha...

Analyzing the impact of occupational exposures on male fertility indicators: A machine learning approach.

Reproductive toxicology (Elmsford, N.Y.)
Occupational exposures are critical factors affecting workers' reproductive health. This study investigates the impact of magnetic fields, electric fields, whole-body vibration, noise levels, and heat stress on male reproductive indicators using adva...
