Full textThe blood bags require technician attention to assure its biological sterility in the process of manufacture and in the final product. The blood bags must not contain any type of waste, so that its use or content is not compromised causing various disorders; it is necessary to eliminate any contamination risk; however many companies perform a visually inspection of the blood bags, by naked eye, by trained employees in the use of a simple equipment, which cannot guarantee that all the bags are residue-free because depending on the human factor. The residues showed on the pictures were characterized as high frequency components. So the proposed methodology applies two levels decomposition of Haar´s Wavelet as high pass filter to evidence high frequencies, and to evidence the residues at the pictures and to evidence the existence of residues on the captured pictures. To assure the sterilization of the commercialized blood bags, this work propose a methodology of an automated computational system based in a group of techniques of image characteristics extraction and recognition patterns to detect residues in blood bag images in the process of manufacture, in order to improve the quality of the commercialized blood bags.This technique is used as high-pass filter, to detach the high frequencies, using a Haar-wavelet in two decomposition levels. The results obtained with the manual visual inspection indicate that were found divergent results in the analysis of the same blood bag, which reinforces the necessity of the automation of this task in order to obtain more uniform results with defined standards.

Full textHuman exposure to environmental contaminants is a global concern. In this context, in recent decades, methodological advances have provided strong quantitative basis for estimating the risks to human health associated with exposure to environmental contaminants. Human biomonitoring is useful to establish the distribution of exposure in the general population, identify vulnerable groups and populations with higher exposure. The aims of this study were to evaluate the exposure levels of adult population from metropolitan area of São Paulo (MRSP) to metals As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Cu and Mn and verify the related factors to exposure. Blood and hair samples from blood donors living in MASP for at least one year were collected in 2009. The results of this study indicate that, overall, the study population is not exposed to HIGH levels of these metals. Geometric means to As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cu and Mn in the blood were 3.6 ug/L, 0.12 ug/L, 23.9 ug/L, 1.4 ug/L, 999.4 ug/L and 12.5 ug/L, respectively. Regarding in hair, geometric means were 0.02 ug/g, 0.03 ug/g, 0.54 ug/g, 0.13 ug/g, 12.44 ug/g, 0.32 ug/g for, As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Cu and Mn respectively. In blood, As concentration was affected by education level and poultry consumption; Cd level was affected by smoking status, occupation and lived in rural area in the past; Pb concentration was affected by gender, age, education level, medicine intake, seafood consumption and work with pesticides in the past; Hg determinants were fish consumption, education level and age; Cu levels were affected by gender, medicine intake and refurbished house; and the concentration of Mn was affected by refurbished house, lived in rural area and work with pesticides in the past. Regarding in hair, As levels are affected by gender, hair treatment, frequency of fish consumption and race. The determinant of Cd in hair was gender; for Pb, the determinants were gender and family income; Hg levels were affected by gender, age, frequency of fish consumption, seafood and animal products, alcohol consumption in addition to current work and race; Cu levels were affected by gender and alcohol consumption; related factors to Mn levels were gender, race, paved street and source of drinking water. Hg levels, Cd, Cu and Pb in blood are weakly correlated with levels in hair

Full textSedan HIV-virusets uppkomst i början av åttiotalet har homosexuella män eller 'män som har sex med män' (MSM) uteslutits från blodgivning. I den här uppsatsen tittar jag på de sexualitetsdiskurser som cirkulerar i de sammanhang där dessa regler utvecklas. Genom att genealogiskt spåra uppkomsten av kategorin MSM och sedan följa hur den används i samtida förhandlingar om blodsäkerhet undersöker jag hur vetenskaplig sanning etableras inom svensk blodtransfusion. Jag menar att riskgruppslogiken till viss del vilar på ekonomiska grunder, samt att begreppet 'blodets biopolitik' produktivt kan användas för att förstå den motvilja som de inblandade aktörerna visar mot att erkänna de heteronormativa konsekvenser som dagens lagstiftning kring blodgivning har.

Full textThe aim of the present work was to develop two analytical approaches dedicated to the analysis of new psychoactive substances in different biological matrices (blood, urine and hair). The first approach is based on untargeted screening by both biochip array technology chemiluminescence assay and liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and the second corresponds to a targeted screening by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These two approaches were then applied in observational studies to assess the consumption of NPS in high risk populations (overdose, drug abuse, drug facilitated crimes) in clinical and forensic settings. The last part of the work was devoted to the development of a new analytical tool for LC-HRMS data processing which made it possible to study the metabolism of 9 NPS In vitro on human liver microsomes (HLM) and In vivo in biological samples from drug users. This approach has enabled the creation of HRMS spectral library containing 228 metabolites, some of which have been proposed as relevant markers of NPS exposure.This work has resulted on 10 scientific publications and allowed to initiate many multidisciplinary collaborations

Full textThe purpose of this study is to examine how preschool children perceive, express and how interested they are about the learning of the human body and if it is possible to work with the topic the human body in preschool. I hope this study could lay as ground for an increased interest in working with the human body in preschool.The method used is qualitative interviews combined with graphic images in form of a texture of a human body and seven different body parts, which the children were to place out and to describe the function of the body part. This method was used to give the children the opportunity to express themselves freely about the different body parts. The interviews were conducted on 14 children ages 4-5. The children got, with her/his own words, explain how the specific body part worked and what her/his thoughts were about working with the subject the human body.The result shows that most of the children could place and explain most of the functions of the body parts used. The majority of the children in this study thought it was fun to work with the human body.

Full textDue to the large variety and the steady increase of toxicologically relevant substances, systematic toxicological analysis (STA) is one of the most difficult tasks in analytical chemistry and, therefore, a steady topic of research and methodical improvement. For this reason, the suitability of liquid chromatography in combination with hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) for STA was investigated. For this purpose, a database of more than 7360 and a CID spectra library of more than 2720 toxicologically relevant substances and suitable methods for sample preparation were developed. The application was evaluated at spiked blood and hair samples. It was found that the analysis in Auto-MS/MS mode (alternating measurement cycles of MS and MS/MS spectra) allowed substance identification in blood using CID spectra between 0.5 and 2 ng/ml for basic substances. The detection limits of the validated method in hair ranged from 3 to 15 pg/mg for 24 drugs. The suitability of LC-QTOF-MS for STA was tested for hair samples from 30 drug-related death cases and from 60 death cases with known chronic medication as well as for 77 blood samples. For the search of metabolites, a metabolite tool was developed. In the practical application to data files from blood and hair samples, the tool proved to be very helpful for identification of unknown peaks and for confirmation of results obtained only from the database without CID spectra. A tool "Estimate Concentration" was created for automatic estimation of concentrations of identified substances. The application to real blood and hair samples and the comparison of the concentrations with results from HPLC-DAD and GC-MS showed good agreement. Overall, these investigations showed that LC-QTOF-MS is currently the most favorable method for STA. Because of the comprehensive registration of all substances in a sample, the data files can be checked for the presence of certain poisons even later without new measurements.

Full textIn the context of public health risk analysis, exposure assessments are of primary importance. Among the approaches used to assess exposure, tools such as food questionnaires, toxicokinetic modelling or reverse dosimetry, combined with biomonitoring allow to refine exposure estimates as well as toxicological health risk estimates. Such approaches and tools have been developed and applied to two contaminants of interest - methylmercury and selenium - due to the known toxic effect of methylmercury, the interaction between methylmercury and selenium which reduces its toxicity, and common sources of exposure through fish consumption. Hence, the main objective of this thesis consists in producing kinetic and comparative data for the validation and the interpretation of approaches and tools used for exposure assessment to methylmercury and selenium. These data are currently lacking. To achieve this goal, the influence of the method used to assess methylmercury exposure was determined by comparing daily intakes and health risk estimated with different approaches (direct exposure assessment using biomonitoring and toxicokinetic modelling or indirect exposure assessment using food questionnaires). Important discrepancies between these two methods have been observed: the questionnaire-based intakes are higher than modeled intakes higher by a six-fold factor. These two approaches lead to divergent health risk estimates considering that, with the direct exposure assessment, methylmercury daily intakes are above Health Canada guidelines in most cases (21 of 23 volunteers) while only 2 volunteers have intakes above guidelines when using the direct approach. Among possible reasons, discrepancies could be due to recall and desirability bias related to the completion of food questionnaire. Subsequently, the study of selenium distribution in different biological matrices following a non-dietary exposure (selenium-containing shampoo) aimed to study the kinetic of the selenium originating from this exposure as well as assess the contribution of this source to the total Se body burden. The time courses of selenium biological concentration in blood, urine, hair and nails over 18 months for volunteers exposed to a non-dietary source of selenium contributed to better elucidate the mechanisms of selenium transfer to blood (concurrency of regulated and non-regulated pathways). This study also confirms that, unlike methylmercury, the use of hair as a biomarker can lead to a significant overestimate of the actual selenium body burden if confounding factors such as the use of selenium-containing shampoo are not controlled. In addition, a detailed analysis of selenium biomonitoring data from 75 published studies in the literature was conducted in order to better understand the kinetic of selenium in the human body. In particular, this analysis led to the development of a tool that relates daily intakes and selenium concentrations in biological matrices using mathematical algorithms. Consequently, by using these kinetic data expressed as a system of logarithmic equations and graphical representations, it enables the assessment of daily intakes in an individual from various biological sampling. Moreover, it facilitates the comparison of selenium biomonitoring data from studies using different biomarkers. Overall, these results show that the approach used to assess exposure has a sound impact on health risk estimates. Research showed that selenium from a non-dietary source does not contribute significantly to total body burden, however it constitutes a confounding factor. Finally, the determination of equations and coefficients using an extensive kinetic database relating selenium concentrations from different biological matrices helps to better interpret biomonitoring data.
