Factors affecting worker tolerance of respiratory personal protective devices are inadequately understood. This study evaluates whether respirator-type loads affected the switch from nasal to oral breathing. Eleven healthy subjects were studied under progressive exercise conditions, using a respirator full-face mask with inspiratory resistance (I), pressure breathing (P) (10 cm H2O end-expiratory ...<br/><br/>P Harber, J Beck, J Luo (1997) <i>Am J Ind Med</i> <i></i> <i></i> 32: 4 408-412<br/>

Supermarket checkers are known to be at risk of upper-extremity cumulative trauma disorders. Forty-two experienced checkers checked a standard "market basket" of items on an experimental checkstand. The counter height could be adjusted (high = 35.5, low = 31.5 inches), and the pre-scan queuing area length (between conveyor belt and laser scanner) could be set to "near" or "far" lengths.

STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Neither response to hypertonic glucose (D50W) nor presence of hypoglycemia can be reliably predicted by "typical" clinical findings (tachycardia, diaphoresis, and/or an available history of diabetes mellitus) in prehospital patients with altered mental status (AMS).

The effect of alternate airflow path designs on full-face mask air-purifying respirators was assessed in 14 healthy volunteers during submaximal exercise. Respirator designs included no respirator (N), full-face mask, dual-cartridge with no nasal deflector (FN), full-face mask respirator with nasal deflector (FD), and a powered air-purifying respirator (PA). Physiologic effects were measured by us...<br/><br/>P Harber, J Beck, C Brown, J Luo (1991) <i>Am Ind Hyg Assoc J</i> <i></i> <i></i> 52: 9 357-362<br/>

An artificial intelligence expert-based system for facilitating the clinical recognition of occupational and environmental factors in lung disease has been developed in a pilot fashion. It utilizes a knowledge representation scheme to capture relevant clinical knowledge into structures about specific objects (jobs, diseases, etc) and pairwise relations between objects.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether clinical criteria (respirations of 12 or less, mitotic pupils, and circumstantial evidence of opiate abuse) could predict response to naloxone in patients with acute alteration of mental status (AMS) and to evaluate whether such criteria predict a final diagnosis of presence or absence of opiate overdose as accurately as response to naloxone.

The effects of pressure-biased breathing (PBB), which simulates positive pressure respirator use, were studied in 15 volunteer subjects during laboratory exercise. PBB was compared with inspiratory resistance: dead space (ID) load and a no-load (N) situation. PBB had adverse subjective effects comparable with those of ID. Physiologically, PBB led to a small decrease in inspiratory time and an incr...<br/><br/>P Harber, J Luo, J Beck, J Lee (1991) <i>J Occup Med</i> <i></i> <i></i> 33: 10 1055-1059<br/>

We reviewed written and audio records of paramedic-base hospital radio contact to determine whether care differed from that suggested in standard prehospital care protocols. Records of all 659 contacts for seizure, syncope, abdominal pain, or altered mental state during 1987 (28.4% of all contacts) were scored for the use of standard therapies (such as intravenous access, oxygen, naloxone hydrochl...<br/><br/>J R Hoffman, J Luo, D L Schriger, L Silver (1990) <i>West J Med</i> <i></i> <i></i> 153: 3 283-287<br/>

In a series of 160 consecutive patients with pre-hospital ventricular fibrillation, outcomes were improved if base-station personnel precisely followed the initial 7 steps of standard VF algorithms. This improvement reached statistical significance regarding survival to hospital discharge (17% vs. 6%, P less than 0.05), and reflected a very strong trend with regard to initial resuscitation and adm...<br/><br/>J R Hoffman, N O'Neill, J Luo (1989) <i>Resuscitation</i> <i></i> <i></i> 17: 2 131-141<br/>
