Exploring the Potential Treatment for Mpox.

Monkeypox (Mpox) is a virus that originally infected only animals. Caused by the monkeypox virus, this infection presents with symptoms similar to smallpox. Although two years have passed since the 2022 outbreak, new cases continue to emerge monthly.

Use of portable air cleaners to reduce aerosol transmission on a hospital coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ward.

Objective: To study the airflow, transmission, and clearance of aerosols in the clinical spaces of a hospital ward that had been used to care for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to examine the impact of portable air cleaners on aerosol clearance.

Design: Observational study.

Setting: A single ward of a tertiary-care public hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

Aerosolisation in endonasal endoscopic pituitary surgery.

Purpose: To determine the particle size, concentration, airborne duration and spread during endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery in actual patients in a theatre setting.

Methods: This observational study recruited a convenience sample of three patients. Procedures were performed in a positive pressure operating room.

Aerosol generation related to respiratory interventions and the effectiveness of a personal ventilation hood.

Objective: To quantify aerosol generation from respiratory interventions and the effectiveness of their removal by a personal ventilation hood.

Design And Setting: Determination of the aerosol particle generation (in a single, healthy volunteer in a clean room) associated with breathing, speaking, wet coughing, oxygen (O) 15 L/min via face mask, O 60 L/min via nasal prongs, bilevel non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (BiPAP) and nebulisation with O 10 L/min.

Interventions: Aerosol generation was measured with two particle sizer and counter devices, focusing on aerosols 0.
