Meteotropic reactions in children and adolescents with atopic asthma

Meteotropic reactions in children and adolescents with atopic asthma in humans during evolution develop the ability to adapt to the constantly changing environment. For environmental factors affecting human values are weather and meteorological phenomena.

Go to meteorological variables include air temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind speed and other atmospheric conditions. Under meteorological phenomena are considering fog, dust storms, tornadoes, and other changes in the atmosphere.


All kinds of reactions of the human impact on the above-mentioned variables and phenomena called meteotropic. The body's ability to respond to the impact of meteorological variables and phenomena development meteotropic reactions defined as meteosensitivity.


About the impact of weather conditions for a variety of diseases by numerous studies in this area. Causes of meteotropic reactions varied, but mostly, it's the contrast change of meteorological variables, changing the individual meteorological elements, changing heliogeophysical indicators (magnetic storms, atmospheric electricity.) Many researchers believe that the meteorological variables affect the human body apart.


It is established that a change in atmospheric pressure is a series of physiological changes leading pathogenetic link which is the baroreceptor response of skin to external stimuli. Temperature conditions significantly influence the processes of thermoregulation, metabolism, muscle and nerve activity, causing changes in biochemical and bioelectric processes in tissues and organs . great importance humidity and velocity of the wind. The action of the wind on the body mediated by a direct effect on the skin, contributing to its heating or cooling.


However, this depends on the level of relative humidity and air temperature. Some authors attribute the effect of weather factors and indicators of the partial pressure of oxygen in the ambient air. At the same time, there is evidence that the impact of solar disturbances and whole meteorological factors do not appear in isolation, but due to the simultaneous exposure on the body of the complex atmospheric physical (such as weather). Therefore, in order to properly assess the possible meteotropic reactions and their prevention all the different weather conditions and geophysical parameters are divided into medical types of weather. In the Russian classification used morphodynamical weather II Grigoriev et al, 1997.


All variety of weather conditions is considered the amount and dynamics of barikotsirkulyatsionnyh and elektrometeorologicheskih and heliogeophysical indicators. Weather types 1 and 2 are in meterologicheskom for favorable weather, types 3 and 4 - adverse weather. In addition to meteorological characteristics, diagnosed and predicted the trend weight of oxygen is investigated ionic composition of the atmosphere, the classification V.F.Ovcharova. Should be noted that in some cases the development of meteotropic reaction may not coincide with the development of adverse weather.


Therefore, a reaction occurs first visible changes in weather conditions, referred to as signal and the response, which appeared after changing the atmospheric and physical complex - trace.


There are two ways of meteotropic violations. The first is that the adverse weather changes cause the complex of specific and nonspecific changes in the body of people who do not have any acute and chronic diseases. The second way is that under the influence of weather changes are amplified or symptoms of disease or pathological processes that already exist in patients.


Found that weather factors directly affect the stereotype of neurohormonal mechanisms. Moreover, there are three options:

meteorological factors - receptor system - the central nervous system (autonomic centers) - peripheral parts of the autonomic nervous system - the organs and systems;

meteorological factors - receptor system - the hypothalamus - pituitary - adrenal cortex - the organs and systems;

meteorological factors - the internal environment (blood, lymph, cellular-molecular structures), organs and systems.


Direct effects of weather factors can significantly change: thermoregulatory, excretory, synthesizing, respiratory function of the skin, which in turn is reflected in the various systems of the body. Receptor function in relation to the mucous membranes meteofactors operate, causing the development of complex reflex reactions to thermal, mechanical and osmotic stimuli.


In the development of meteotropic reactions are three phases:

• clinical and physiological adaptation to the effects of atmospheric and physical factors

• increased sensitivity to sudden changes in the weather;

• disadaptative to the weather.


A number of researchers found that weather conditions cause an exacerbation of asthma in children.

We have performed in allergy department of Children's Health Research Center survey of 138 children and adolescents with asthma .. Among the children surveyed were 60% of boys and 40% girls. 77% of the patients were adolescents aged 10 to 17 years. When questioning children and adolescents 73% said the relationship of asthma exacerbations with changing weather conditions. However, correlation analysis showed a significant degree of meteozavisimosti only 31% of the patients.


A high correlation was exacerbations of asthma with air temperatures (at 0 degrees and minus 20 degrees Celsius), changes in relative humidity (less than 60% and more than 75%) and high atmospheric pressure (more than 750mm.rt.st.) . In 32% of asthma exacerbation was associated with an increase in atmospheric pressure in 29% - as the relative humidity of 64% - from changes in temperature. In 25% of patients had an exacerbation of asthma with a combination of the effects of different climatic factors.


Evaluation of the adequacy of basic therapy in meteodependent children and adolescents showed that children who receive preventive therapy courses kromonovoy acid or inhaled corticosteroids, are less influenced by climatic factors.

SKY comes down to earth

Heaven comes down to Earth for the last 10 years, the cloud descended on average by 1%, the researchers showed the University of Auckland (New Zealand) based on measurements of the upper limit, made from March 2000 to February 2010 with the help of the polygonal Spectroradiometer (MISR) American spacecraft Terra.

 1% - 30-40 m is usually reduced due to the fact that at very high altitudes less cloud formed.


The lead author of Roger Davis notes that the data cover too short a period to be able to make far-reaching conclusions. At the same time we can not turn a blind eye to the fact that probably there is something important - and it is related to changes in global average temperature.


The fact that the reduction in the height of the cloud cover of the Earth slightly cooling the planet and possibly slow down global warming. Perhaps we have an example negative feedback mechanism, when the growth temperature reduces the cloud and, respectively, contain warming. Apparently, it has something to do with the atmospheric circulation at high altitudes, but scientists are not yet able to propose a model, fully describing these processes.

Biotropic naturally and artificially create ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

Biotropic natural and man-made electromagnetic fields UDC 550,838.

VV Lyubimov Biotropic natural and man-made electromagnetic fields. (Analytical Review). Preprint No.7 (1103), Moscow: Troitsk, 1997. - 85 c.


In various research centers are working to create the necessary unique instruments, conducted a study on the impact of natural and man-made electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the flora and fauna.


This paper analyzes some of the results of studies conducted in recent years, employees IZMIRAN that are associated with the problem biotropic natural and man-made electromagnetic fields, with morbidity and mortality of people with disability rights issues in the workplace, in the places of residence and recreation.


We discuss the results and issues of creating the equipment for electromagnetic environmental monitoring in hospitals and clinics in the resort areas in proizvodsvennyh and residential locations an industrial city with a high level of man-made noise and interference.


Is a wide list of bibliography related to the discussion in the topic.


The proceedings were presented at the International Workshop Space ecology and the noosphere, held in Partenit (Crimea) in 1997


1. PROBLEM.


Biotropic natural and man-made electromagnetic fields (EMF), morbidity and mortality, disability rights issues in the workplace, in the places of residence and recreation.


Recent years have shown convincingly that scientific and technological progress leads to significant changes in the environment. People more and more intensively creates an artificial living environment that allows you to equip his work and life, and often, the development of the built environment is in conflict with the biological and psychological characteristics of the organism, formed over thousands of years of its evolution. A man works on the nature on a global scale, so its changes are multifaceted, complex nature: social, physical, chemical and biological factors. A number of environmental factors have a direct or indirect impact on the health or well-being of the entire population, sometimes regardless of the socio-economic conditions, but usually in conjunction with them.


Inadequate control of this process may result in adverse environmental and genetic effects, cause serious and life (in many cases) irreparable damage. In connection with this important factor determining the nature damage the environment. A clear assessment that can not be given because of the complexity of interaction between adverse factors and human health, as well as due to lack of knowledge about many operating factors, among which are currently of particular importance acquired physical factors such as electric and electromagnetic fields.


It is now become widely known that EMI are the most common stimuli affecting organisms. With them, one is confronted in the workplace, in communities, institutions, and even at home. EMF sources are numerous, their intensity continuously increases and the impact on the health of multilaterally.


Acting on the human EMF may aggravate cardiovascular, neurological and psychiatric diseases, or serve as a factor contributing to the emergence of a complex disease etiology.


The size and the prevalence of contamination of the environment with electromagnetic energy achieved significant quantities. Every year around the world are increasing generation capacity. Further scientific and technological progress and urbanization lead to increased tensions EMF.


Therefore, the relevance of the possible adverse effects of weak electromagnetic fields on human beings in populated areas is growing.


Existing domestic and foreign materials on the effect of electric charges, both natural and artificial electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields on biological systems indicates extreme urgency, scientific and practical relevance of research in the field geliomagnitobiologii. The number of published papers and conducted scientific conferences on biological effects of electromagnetic fields and the mechanisms of their effects on the body is continuously increasing. Questions limit the adverse effects of EMF are the subject of many scientists in the world. In recent years this problem, a number of general works (see list attached literature), but it can not be considered settled.


The solution of fundamental problems in this area hindered by the lack detailed analysis of the major anthropogenic sources of electromagnetic environment of the distribution of natural and man-made electromagnetic fields in the human environment, the lack of reliable and low-cost means of measurement and control, which significantly reduces a more intense study of the nature of mass, degree and the basic laws of EMF on various levels of the organization of biological systems, the limits and possibilities of compensatory and adaptive responses of organisms to this action, a reliable determination of ecological values of EMF and their role in the pathology of the population, forecasting the health of people.


Until now, the problem of high priority is the development of new and refinement of existing standards for EMF. Hygienic regulation, based on integrated studies of the above tasks should take into account the quantitative, qualitative and spatial-temporal characteristics of a factor. Further modernization of existing measures and technical means to ensure protection from the harmful effects of EMF should depend directly on hygiene, urban planning and feasibility standards and requirements.


A monitoring of the environment by means of special devices will accurately record and normalize the presence of harmful artificially produced electromagnetic radiation (EMR).


The purpose of this paper is on the background of what has been done and is being done as part of the problem of domestic teams of scientists to display, analysis and promotion of the work and research that have taken place and the early 90-ies of the various groups and teams of employees IZMIRAN. At the same time, emphasis the author's many years engaged in the creation of geophysical instruments for different purposes, is made on the analysis of the opportunities that are not yet visible some of our leaders, prospects, and the challenges of the niche in the above research issues and challenges that can take and have already taken on the right magnetometric devices have traditionally been built up over many years in IZMIRAN.

Can A Magnetic Field Levitate A Child?








Описание:

Question: Does the Magnetic Levitation Deck really levitate a child and did the 2nd grade girls actually build this thing?

Answer: As the four and half minute video clearly shows, the answer is YES and YES

An important note on parental involvement:

Together, we designed and built a Magnetic Levitation Deck to prove a magnetic field can levitate a child. The deck can actually levitate up to 200 LBS. The experiment was designed with my daughter and her friend for their 2nd grade science fair. Interestingly enough, some parents may feel there was too much parental guidance and assistance. While well intentioned, this perspective is actually completely wrong. For one thing, the children in the science fair are allowed to choose between inventing something and conducting an experiment. I agree that children who choose to create an invention should do so with only minimal parental assistance. In this particular case however, the girls chose to conduct an experiment and, as such, actually creating the apparatus (in this case, the Magnetic Levitation Deck) used to conduct the experiment is not a requirement or even relevant. By comparison, if a child were to conduct an experiment studying insects with a microscope, the child would likely use a commercially available microscope and not be expected to build one on his/her own. In our case however, no Magnetic Levitation Deck existed for us to purchase. With that in mind, as the parent, I made sure that they were involved in every stage of its design and construction even though it was not required, mainly so they not only learned more, but also got more out of the entire experience overall when they conduct the experiment.

If you're still concerned with the extent of parental participation in the project, then you have likely missed the larger point, which dwarfs all others: to get children to feel confident about their creative abilities and become excited about mathematics and science. This is especially true for girls, as studies have shown that they are disproportionately outnumbered by boys in the fields of math and science, and this may partly be a result of a lack of encouragement in these fields from a young age. To that end, the project was an astounding success in more ways than one!
