A safety culture that promotes best practices and best outcomes is important in today's healthcare environment. The perianesthesia environment of care is constantly challenged with the introduction of new technologies, improved medications, and advances in surgical and nonsurgical procedures. This practice is also marked by fast turnover, increasing volume, and, often, high-acuity patients. The integration of principles of safety and evidence-based principles is a core value of perianesthesia practice. The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) is committed to providing the foundation to support a culture of perianesthesia safety. This article will discuss the development of the ASPAN Safety Model by the ASPAN Safety Committee.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) and atypical enteropathogenic (aEPEC) in Swedish retail wheat flour.
Access Microbiol

Department of Microbiology, Swedish National Veterinary Institute (SVA), Uppsala, Sweden.
Wheat flour has been identified as the source of multiple outbreaks of gastrointestinal disease caused by shiga toxin-producing (STEC). We have investigated the presence and genomic characteristics of STEC and related atypical enteropathogenic (aEPEC) in 200 bags of Swedish-produced retail wheat flour, representing 87 products and 25 brands. Samples were enriched in modified tryptone soya broth (mTSB) and screened with real-time PCR targeting , and , and the serogroups O157, O121 and O26.

Background: Several species-specific PCR assays, based on a variety of target genes are currently used in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis infections in cattle herds with respiratory diseases and/or mastitis. With this diversity of methods, and the development of new methods and formats, regular performance comparisons are required to ascertain diagnostic quality. The present study compares PCR methods that are currently used in six national veterinary institutes across Europe.

Ticks are one of the principal arthropod vectors of human and animal infectious diseases. Whereas the prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus in ticks in Europe is well studied, there is less information available on the prevalence of the other tick-borne viruses (TBVs) existing worldwide. The aim of this study was to improve the epidemiological survey tools of TBVs by the development of an efficient high-throughput test to screen a wide range of viruses in ticks.

The purpose of this survey of perianesthesia nurses was to examine patterns of adoption of electronic health records and their effect on clinical documentation and patient care.
Design: A survey was sent to nurses who are members of the American Society of Perianesthesia Nursing (ASPAN).
High-throughput screening of tick-borne pathogens in Europe.

Due to increased travel, climatic, and environmental changes, the incidence of tick-borne disease in both humans and animals is increasing throughout Europe. Therefore, extended surveillance tools are desirable. To accurately screen tick-borne pathogens (TBPs), a large scale epidemiological study was conducted on 7050 Ixodes ricinus nymphs collected from France, Denmark, and the Netherlands using a powerful new high-throughput approach.
