Article Synopsis
- - Point-of-care ultrasound is a useful tool for diagnosis and monitoring in clinical settings, gaining popularity due to its low cost, portability, and ability to complement traditional methods like stethoscopes.
- - A study comparing surface contamination of ultrasound equipment and stethoscopes at a low-resource and a high-resource hospital found similar levels of microbial contamination on both.
- - It’s important to recognize the risk of contamination with ultrasound devices, which can harbor potentially harmful bacteria, highlighting the need for strict hygiene practices when using these tools at the bedside.
Influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) varies over different influenza seasons and virus (sub)types/lineages. To assess the association between IVE and circulating influenza virus (sub)types/lineages, we estimated the overall and (sub)type specific IVE in the Netherlands.
