Background: Bacterial contamination of outlet water from dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) may lead to healthcare-associated infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contamination of DUWLs from new dental chairs before and after their initial shock disinfection with ICX Renew® and to determine the efficacy of this method of shock disinfection.
Methods: The microbiological quality of water samples obtained from the DUWLs of 17 new dental chairs installed at the University Hospital of Nancy, France, was assessed.

The discharge of dyes into the water body creates toxicity to aquatic organisms because of their aromatic structure and difficult degradation. So, the treatment of dye-contaminated wastewater is required before releasing it. In the present study, thermally treated (600 °C) and HPO (55%)-functionalized bagasse, henceforth called thermochemically activated bagasse (TCAB), was synthesized as potential adsorbent for the effective removal of selected cationic and anionic dyes from their aqueous stream.

Introduction: The clinical handover process has been directly associated with patient safety. Improving patient handover can improve patients' safety and ultimate outcomes; therefore, this review was conducted to examine the literature available on interventions that make handovers more effective.
Methods: MEDLINE (EBSCO) was searched for interventions that improve the efficacy of clinical handovers.
