Impact of Plastic-Wrap Properties and Cleaning Intervals on the Disinfection of Elevator Buttons.

Int J Environ Res Public Health

January 2023

Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical University, No. 100, Shih-Chuan 1st Road, Kaohsiung 80708, Taiwan.

Fomite transmission is a possible route by which different pathogens spread within facilities. In hospital settings, elevator buttons are widely observed to be covered with various types of plastic wraps; however, limited information is available concerning the impact of different plastic materials on cleaning. Our study aimed to identify which plastic material is suitable for the coverage of elevator buttons and the optimal intervals for their cleaning.

Coagulation and hemolysis complications in neonatal ECLS: Role of devices.

Semin Fetal Neonatal Med

December 2022

Children's National Hospital, 111 Michigan Ave, NW, Washington, D.C., USA. Electronic address:

Neonatal extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has enjoyed a long history of successful patient support for both cardiac and respiratory failure. The small size of this patient population has provided many technical challenges from cannulation to pumps and oxygenators. This is further complicated by the relatively meager commercial options for equipment owing to the relatively low utilization of neonatal ECLS compared to adults, which has exploded following the H1N1 epidemic and the availability of the polymethylpentene oxygenator.

Impact of Polymers on Magnesium-Based Hydrogen Storage Systems.

Polymers (Basel)

June 2022

School of Chemical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Korea.

In the present scenario, much importance has been provided to hydrogen energy systems (HES) in the energy sector because of their clean and green behavior during utilization. The developments of novel techniques and materials have focused on overcoming the practical difficulties in the HES (production, storage and utilization). Comparatively, considerable attention needs to be provided in the hydrogen storage systems (HSS) because of physical-based storage (compressed gas, cold/cryo compressed and liquid) issues such as low gravimetric/volumetric density, storage conditions/parameters and safety.

Hemocompatibility-Related Adverse Events and Survival on Venoarterial Extracorporeal Life Support: An ELSO Registry Analysis.

JACC Heart Fail

November 2020

Smith Center for Outcomes Research in Cardiology, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts; Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts. Electronic address:

Objectives: This study sought to determine the frequency, incidence rates over time, association with mortality, and potential risk factors for hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAEs) occurring during venoarterial-extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS).

Background: HRAEs are common complications of VA-ECLS. Studies examining relevant clinical predictors and the association of HRAEs with survival are limited by small sample size and single-center setting.
