Record 2 2008-05-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bioengineering
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

The mixing and dispersal of a test substance in the air as a fine spray of colloidal-sized particles.

CONT

The possible routes of exposure by inhalation are by intranasal or intratracheal instillation, or via aerosols. The preferred route of exposure is via intranasal instillation; dosing by aerosolization is typically the least acceptable route because of the difficulty in achieving an appropriate dose.

CONT

The performance of ... compressors ... was studied in combination with [a] recommended ... nebuliser for the aerosolisation of a marketed tobramycin solution .... The droplet size distribution of the generated aerosol was measured with laser diffraction technique.

CONT

There is... the potential to immunize through aerosolization of the harmless engineered C. crescentus strain to deliver the rPA-IV via a route more indicative of an inhalation anthrax challenge.

PHR

Immunize through aerosolization.

PHR

Dosing by aerosolization.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Technique biologique
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Mélange et dispersion d'une substance d'essai dans l'air, sous forme de pulvérisation fine de particules colloïdales.

CONT

L'instillation nasale ou trachéale et l'aérosolisation constituent des modes d'exposition possibles par inhalation.

CONT

Bacillus anthracis est la bactérie sporulée responsable de la maladie du charbon. [...] Une immunisation serait [...] possible par aérosolisation de la souche inoffensive de C. crescentus modifiée pour produire l'APr IV apr une voie ressemblant davantage à une provocation par inhalation.

PHR

Administrer par aérosolisation.

PHR

Appareillage d'aérosolisation.

Key term(s)
  • B. anthracis spore

French

Domaine(s)
  • Toxicologie
  • Armes CBRNE
CONT

Ainsi, selon un rapport qui date de 1970, si l'on libère 50 kilos de spore d'anthrax dans une ville peuplée de 5 millions d'habitants, le nombre des victimes pourrait être de 250 000 dont 100 000 morts.

Key term(s)
