Window/door opening ‐mediated bedroom ventilation and its impact on sleep quality of healthy, young adults
Abstract
This work examined window/door opening as means of bedroom ventilation and the consequent effect upon occupants’ sleep, using data from 17 healthy volunteers. Bedroom CO2 level, temperature, and relative humidity were measured over 5 days, for two cases: open window or door (internal, bedroom door), and closed window and door. Participant filled questionnaires and sleep diary provided subjective measure of sleep quality. Actigraphy objectively monitored the participants during sleep. Additionally, a FlexSensor, placed under pillows of participants, detected movement during sleep. Average CO2 level for the Open ...

Emergence of Aspergillus fumigatus azole resistance in azole ‐naïve patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their homes
Abstract
Azole‐resistant Aspergillus fumigatus (ARAF) has been reported in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but has not been specifically assessed so far. Here, we evaluated ARAF prevalence in azole‐naïve COPD patients and their homes, and assessed whether CYP51A mutations were similar in clinical and environmental reservoirs. Sixty respiratory samples from 41 COPD patients with acute exacerbation and environmental samples from 36 of these patient's homes were prospectively collected. A. fumigatus was detected in respiratory samples from 11 of 41 patients (27%) and in 15 of 36 domiciles (42%...

Skin squames contribute to ammonia and volatile fatty acids production from bacteria colonising in air ‐cooling units with odour complaints
This study investigated the potential contribution of skin squames to the production of ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic acids (VFAs) by seven bacteria isolated from air‐cooling (AC) units with complaints of urine and body odours. Our previous study showed that keratinolytic activity is higher in AC units with odour complaints than those without. In the offices where these units are located, the most likely source of keratins is from human skin squames. Most bacteria can produce NH3 and VFAs in the skin squame culture. Some correlations between the levels of NH3, NH4+, VFAs, and keratinolytic activity were found. The o...
