Validation of a hand hygiene visual feedback system to improve compliance with drying time of alcohol-based hand rub in a neonatal intensive care unit: the Incubator Traffic Light system.

Background: Compliance with the recommended 30 s drying time of alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) is often suboptimal. To increase hand hygiene compliance at a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we installed an Incubator Traffic Light (ITL) system which shows 'green light' to open incubator doors after the recommended drying time.

Aim: To measure the impact of this visual feedback system on NICU healthcare professionals' compliance with the recommended ABHR drying time.

Automated Deep Learning-Based Segmentation of Abdominal Adipose Tissue on Dixon MRI in Adolescents: A Prospective Population-Based Study.

The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased significantly worldwide, highlighting a need for accurate noninvasive quantification of body fat distribution in children. The purpose of this study was to develop and test an automated deep learning method for subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) segmentation using Dixon MRI acquisitions in adolescents. This study was embedded within the Generation R Study, a prospective population-based cohort study in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Evaluation of National Surgical Practice for Lateral Lymph Nodes in Rectal Cancer in an Untrained Setting.

Background: Involved lateral lymph nodes (LLNs) have been associated with increased local recurrence (LR) and ipsi-lateral LR (LLR) rates. However, consensus regarding the indication and type of surgical treatment for suspicious LLNs is lacking. This study evaluated the surgical treatment of LLNs in an untrained setting at a national level.

Body size measuring techniques enabling stress-free growth monitoring of extreme preterm infants inside incubators: A systematic review.

Introduction: Growth monitoring of preterm infants is essential for assessing the nutritional effects on their growth. The current growth monitoring techniques are too stressful, however, for the smallest preterm infants. We performed a systematic review to summarize studies on stress-free techniques for measuring the body size of preterm infants inside incubators other than the traditional calliper and tape measure-based instruments.
