Background: Infection prevention measures are crucial to prevent contamination among frontline healthcare workers (FL-HCWs) and non-frontline healthcare workers (NFL-HCWs). However, these measures can lead to skin lesions, potentially affecting their quality of life.
Objectives: Determine the prevalence of skin lesions caused by infection prevention measures and assess the impact of skin lesions on the quality of life.
The objective of this study was to explore how watermelon rinds (WMRs) and their derivatives, specifically water-soluble polysaccharides (WMRPs) and hemicellulose (WMRH), as sources of dietary fiber, could enhance the quality of wheat bread. The extraction process yielded 34.4% for WMRP and 8.
