The Way the Vacuum Changed the World The 1900s and on was a time of great inventions coming to be. People wanted to make their world a better place so they started to invent things. One of the inventions that came to be was the vacuum cleaner. The idea first came to be in around 1869 but it was a little different. The vacuum we know about now didn’t come to be until 1901, and we owe it all to Hubert Booth (Bells). The vacuum cleaner impacted the world in many ways. It improved our health, to a certain extent. It also provided more time for families to come together and have more quality time. The vacuum cleaner had some negative impacts on the environment, small problems but nevertheless there were problems. Not only did the invention of …show more content…
When the person is first exposed to the dust (allergen) their body starts to produce an antibody called IgE, to attack the allergen. The antibodies attach to a form of blood cell called a mast cell. Mast cells can be found in the airways, in the intestines. The presence of mast cells in the airways and GI tract makes these areas more susceptible to allergen exposure. The allergens bind to the IgE, which is attached to the mast cell. This causes the mast cells to release a variety of chemicals into the blood, causes most of the symptoms of an allergic reaction …show more content…
One of the most common is the Pack-It Compression Sac Set. It uses the idea of a vacuum sucking up dust and dirt but instead it takes out the air in a bag making it small and compact. Another invention that came through the vacuum technology is found in airships. There is a vacuum-tube which is an electron tube containing a near-vacuum that allows the free passage of electric current. In 1990 Arthur De Bausset attempted to bring this idea to Congress, but the public was unsure about his idea. The main principle of the airship is to fill it up with air like a balloon and then it would fly. This made way for the hot air balloon (Noel). Although did invention doesn’t really have anything to do with the vacuum cleaner, the technology behind it is being put to use all around the
Technology was booming and created opportunities for both men and women and aided the everyday household with what we call today, necessities. “In 1912, only 16 percent of American households had electricity; by the mid-20s, almost two-thirds did. Overnight, the electric vacuum cleaner, the electric refrigerator and freezer, and the automatic washing machine became staples in middle-class homes”
New appliances were a big part of the technological and social change during the 1920s. The appliances were a big change and was the first attempt of a “smart house”. It affected housewives because now that the appliances were there, society expected them to clean the house faster and keep it tidy all day.
Have you ever been in a dirty bathroom and thought about how dirty it was and how many germs were just floating around in the atmosphere? Or walking into a bathroom after someone else walks out and having to deal with the foul odor of their bodily fluids. Life wasn 't always this simple, at times things were a lot worse and many people weren 't sure how to cope with the situations. This problem is something many people had to deal with on daily basis and had to figure out to live a regular life with it. This is why cleanliness, public health, and technology was important problem that many people had to overcome during the 19th century until now.
B.J.was exposed to cats, thus causing an acute asthma attack. Patient being exposed to cat fur is what caused his allergic reaction. IgE antibodies cause allergic reactions, these cells are mainly attached to mast cells that lie in the lung interstitium in close association with the bronchioles and small bronchi. Once BJ breathes in the fur, to which he is sensitive to, the pollen reacts with these mast cells and thus causing these cells to release histamine. Which causes localized edema in the bronchioles as well as thick mucus. This causes the spams in the bronchilar smooth muscle which cause airway resistance. In return causing an acute asthma attack.
binds with the surface IgE and mediators are released (Story, 2012). TH2 cells are involved
Air (oxygen) is inhaled into the body by the nose. The air is warmed filtered and moistured in the nasal cavity as the air needs to be cleaned before passing it along to the pharynx. Mucous is held in the sinus cavity. With the joint help from the mucous and the tiny hairs in the nose our nose ensures that the air is cleared of pathogens so that the air is clean to move on to the pharynx. The tiny hairs in the nose causes us to sneeze resulting in pathogens that may have been inhaled to be sneezed out and released back into the atmosphere.
With just a very quick exposure to an allergen, anaphylaxis can occur immediately. Allergens can be anything from dust, food products such as peanuts, shellfish, nuts, and even insects and sting like bees and wasp stings. Life threatening symptoms of anaphylaxis include dizziness, unconsciousness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and fast heart beat. The most serious threat to the human life during anaphylaxis is the lack of oxygen, O2. With lack of O2 the brain begins to lose brain cells. The brain is in control of all the systems in the body as more time passes without O2 organs begin to fail and the heart also stops beating.4 Other symptoms of swelling of the mouth, coughing, hives on the body, vomiting, and
The ironic thing about allergens is that most aren’t harmful to the body, but this doesn’t stop the immune system for mistaking them for foreign bodies, which is why it decides to fight back. Our immune systems are amazing things. They create proteins to fight disease, which are known as antibodies. These antibodies try to battle it out against the antigens. Once our immune system creates certain antibodies, they’ll recognize the same intruders again and protect our bodies automatically year in year
Susceptible Individuals are at risk to curtain airborne allergens and things that trigger frequent attack. According to Barnes, (2003) allergic reaction comes from factors, such as allergens, viral infections and exercise .Other triggers such as family pets, which includes dogs, cats and hamsters can cause an allergic reaction. Smoking, dust and fumes plays a part in the environmental factors. Asthma symptoms include tightness and cough chest, wheeze and breathlessness. Airflow obstruction results from twitchiness of the muscles in the airways and inflammation resulting in swelling of the airway walls as well as accumulation of secretions (Asthma UK, 2014) over time symptoms might vary. In young children symptoms in the severity
In this article Dr. Foaud explains the inflammatory response that occurs in the airways of asthma patients and how the different types of cells and respiratory epithelial interact in the process. Respiratory epithelium, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and leukocytes all play an critical part in not only the inflammatory response but also in the way that they may be utilized to inhibit the response to help treat asthma. The article also explains how chemokines recruit inflammatory cells to the airways. The inflammatory response seen in asthma
“Building dust causes allergic rhinitis.” It’s the crushed faecal pellets of house dust mites that causes allergies and not the sand grain or dust particles. Allergic Rhinitis, known as Hay Fever, means inflammation of the nose, it is also an allergic response to particular allergens like grass, pollen or mold which can have uncomfortable symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes and runny nose. The symptoms worsen during or after sweeping, dusting and vacuuming because it can stir up dust particles, making them effortless to inhale. Common causes are dust mites, cockroaches, mold, pollen and animal hair, feathers and fur. Dust mites, called bed
Environments that harbor a lot of dust mites aren’t suitable for individuals who have asthmas and allergies. Dust mites are known to trigger or induce the symptoms of their condition, such as:
The first step is to identify the source of your allergy. Be aware of your allergic reactions and identify the allergens present at your workplace that can trigger these symptoms. Dust and mold are the most common workplace allergens.
Is characterized by inflammation and spasm of the airways. The inflammation makes the airways smaller and it becomes difficult for the air to move in and out of the lung. The inside walls of airways become swollen, making it very sensitive and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. [3]
Allergies are among the most common inveterate case worldwide. Allergy symptoms range from making you powerless to putting you at risk for life-menacing reaction.Food allergies are defined as “ the body 's abnormal responses to harmless foods; the reactions are caused by the immune system 'sreaction to some food proteins” (thefreedictionary.difntion.com).In other words,The job of the body’s immune system is to identify and ruin germs (such as bacteria or viruses) that make you sick. A food allergy results when the immune system wrong targets a harmless food protein an allergen as menace and attacks it.
