Effect of far-infrared radiation on inhibition of colonies on packaging during storage of sterilised surgical instruments.

The sterilisation of surgical instruments is a major factor in infection control in the operating room (OR). All items used in the OR must be sterile for patient safety. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effect of far-infrared radiation (FIR) on the inhibition of colonies on packaging surface during the long-term storage of sterilised surgical instruments.

Prenatal diagnosis of de novo int22h1/int22h2-mediated Xq28 duplication syndrome involving RAB39B following a previous ambiguous genitalia pregnancy.

Objective: To report a prenatal diagnosis of int22h1/int22h2-mediated Xq28 duplication syndrome.

Case Report: Herein, we present the case of a 28-year-old female who had a previous ambiguous genitalia pregnancy without genetic abnormality that was terminated at 23 weeks of gestation. The fetus of the current pregnancy harbored a de novo copy number variation at the Xq recurrent region (int22h1/int22h2-flanked; including the RAB39B gene) with a 0.

Effects of Methylphenidate on Cognitive Function in Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Meta-Analysis.

This meta-analysis evaluated the effects of methylphenidate (MPH) on cognitive outcome and adverse events in adults with traumatic brain injuries (TBI). We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before July 2019. Studies that compared the effects of MPH and placebos in adults with TBI were included.
