Objective: Patients with chronic kidney disease suffer from immune dysfunction, increasing susceptibility to infections. The aim of the study was to investigate air contamination with respiratory viruses in a dialysis unit at a quaternary hospital using molecular detection techniques and to analyze airflow dynamics through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for a comprehensive assessment of air transmission risks.

Methods: We conducted dialysis unit air sampling using AerosolSense™ samplers.

Genomic Analysis of Carbapenem-Resistant Isolated from Bloodstream Infections in South Korea.

Antibiotics (Basel)

November 2024

Division of Antimicrobial Resistance Research, National Institute of Health, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, 187 Osongsaengmyeong 2-ro, Osong-eup, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si 28159, Republic of Korea.

Background/objectives: Bloodstream infection by carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) is a serious clinical problem worldwide. To study its clonal relationship and genetic features, we report the draft genome sequence of CRAB strains isolated from human blood in South Korea.

Methods: Among strains isolated from patients at nine general hospitals in 2020, 12 CRAB strains of different genotypes were selected.

The influence of electronic health record design on usability and medication safety: systematic review.

BMC Health Serv Res

January 2025

School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences (PBS), Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), 1st Floor Ardilaun House Block B, 111 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Background: The advantages of electronic health records (EHRs) are well-documented regarding the process of care, enhanced data accessibility and cost savings. However, EHR design can also contribute to usability challenges, with poorly designed EHRs being implicated in user errors including patient overdoses. Our study seeks to evaluate how EHR design influences both usability and medication safety.

To investigate the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of young children in a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of silver diammine fluoride (SDF) and five percent sodium fluoride varnish (NaFV) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). Children younger than 72 months of age with active dentinal caries lesions (ICDAS 5 or 6) in primary teeth received two applications of 38 percent SDF and five percent NaFV as part of an RCT testing three different frequency regimes (one, four, and six months apart). The Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) questionnaire was completed at three study visits.

Perceptions of dental professionals on the use of silver diamine fluoride with or without light-curing.

BMC Oral Health

December 2024

Department of Community Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, 34 Henri-Dunant rd., Wangmai, Pathumwan, Bangkok, 10330, Bangkok, Thailand.

Background: According to anecdotal reports, SDF's ability to arrest caries can be enhanced by light-curing in a clinical setting. The purpose of the present study was to explore the dental professionals' perceptions of using SDF and to understand the barriers and enabling factors to using SDF with and without light-curing.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with dental professionals who had experience with using SDF with and without light-curing.
