Can the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence assay be used as an indicator for hospital cleaning? - A pilot study.

Background: In hospital cleaning, there is currently no standard for uniform monitoring of surface cleaning, either in Germany or internationally. One possibility for monitoring is the use of so-called objective methods for checking cleaning performance (e.g.

Effects of wrist posture and stabilization on precision grip force production and muscle activation patterns.

Most of the power for generating forces in the fingers arises from muscles located in the forearm. This configuration maximizes finger joint range of motion while minimizing finger mass and inertia. The resulting multiarticular arrangement of the tendons, however, complicates independent control of the wrist and the digits.

[Robotic-assisted mobilization for an effective mobilization in a COVID-19 patient with ECMO treatment].

An effective (early) mobilization in COVID-19 intensive care patients with ECMO treatment is very important. Sedation, extracorporeal procedures with the danger of circuit malfunction, large lumen ECMO cannulas with a risk of dislocation and a very severe neuromuscular weakness are factors that could deem mobilization beyond stage 1 of the ICU mobility score (IMS) in some cases difficult or impossible; however, early mobilization is a key point of the ABCDEF bundle to counteract pulmonary complications, neuromuscular dysfunction and enable recovery. The case of a 53-year-old, previously healthy and active male patient with a severe and complicated course of COVID-19 and pronounced ICU-acquired weakness is described.
