The choice of a reprocessing method depends on many factors and there is no one perfect method that suits all situations. The needs of patients, staff and the healthcare facility, as well as the types of products available at any given time, will all influence the decision. And that decision will not be final. Products change as do consumer needs. As a result the reprocessing decision will need to be reviewed, on a regular basis, in order to ensure that it remains current.

Conventional epoxy thermosets, with irreversible crosslinking networks, cannot be reprocessed and recycled. Furthermore, the utilization of petroleum-based materials accelerates the depletion of non-renewable resources. The introduction of dynamic covalent bonds and the use of bio-based materials for thermosets can effectively address the above issues.

Introduction: Bodily waste management is a critical yet frequently neglected domain of infection prevention and control. We conducted a survey to examine various aspects of bodily waste management and related hygiene practices in nursing homes (NH) based on existing recommendations.
Methods: All NHs (n = 120) of canton Vaud in Switzerland were invited to participate in this cross-sectional survey between July 2022 and February 2023 using a questionnaire.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the disparity in culture results between sterilization and high-level disinfection (HLD) for duodenoscopes and linear endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and to assess the effectiveness of different bacterial contamination detection methods.
Methods: This is a prospective randomized study, including duodenoscopes and linear EUS with adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay values below 200 relative light units after manual cleaning which were randomly assigned to undergo either sterilization or HLD in a 1:1 ratio. Following disinfection, all endoscopes were subjected to adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence assay testing and cultures using both swab and liquid samples from endoscope channels.

Background: Prostate cancer, a common malignancy, is driven by androgen receptor (AR) signaling. Understanding the function of AR signaling is critical for prostate cancer research.
Methods: We performed multi-omics data analysis for the AR, androgen-sensitive LNCaP cell line, focusing on gene expression (RNAseq), chromatin accessibility (ATACseq), and transcription factor binding (ChIPseq).

Background: Single-use flexible bronchoscopes (SFBs) are increasingly used to minimize cross-infection risk, particularly in immunocompromised and intensive care unit patients. However, broader adoption requires cost analysis. We conducted a 1-year cost-minimization analysis comparing SFBs and reusable flexible bronchoscopes (RFBs) at a tertiary care university hospital.
