The German Infection Protection Act and country-specific laws demand appropriate measures to prevent nosocomial infections and propagation of pathogens, especially those with resistances. This also concerns outpatient surgery of the skin. Special focus is placed on hand hygiene, antiseptics, hygienic modes of operation and professional instrument reprocessing. Every dermatological institution that operates on an outpatient basis is obliged to organize and be responsible for its hygiene. The legal framework is regulated by various laws and regulations and must be observed.

Disaster preparedness kits ready or not? Household resilience to flash flooding in Uttarakhand.
Heliyon
January 2025
Amrita School for Sustainable Futures, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri Campus, Kerala State, India.
The State of Uttarakhand, located in the Himalayan region of North India, suffered one of the worst flash floods on June 16, 2013 where 5700 were presumed dead or missing. Since then, the region has suffered two other major flooding events in 2021 and 2023. Although numerous national government agencies recommend keeping disaster preparedness kits ready, the saliency and effectiveness of a household disaster preparedness kit in helping survivors, has not been empirically tested in the region.

BMC Med
January 2025
Department of Oncology, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Background: The clinical translation of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers for cancer management presents complex challenges. We have developed consensus-based recommendations for preclinical and clinical assessment of novel and established radiotracers, applied to image different cancer types, to improve the standardisation of translational methodologies and accelerate clinical implementation.
Methods: A consensus process was developed using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RAM) to gather insights from a multidisciplinary panel of 38 key stakeholders on the appropriateness of preclinical and clinical methodologies and stakeholder engagement for PET radiotracer translation.
A global review of national guidelines of post-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of HIV.
J Int AIDS Soc
January 2025
Melbourne Sexual Health Centre, Alfred Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of antiretroviral drugs as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for preventing HIV acquisition for occupational and non-occupational exposures. To inform the development of global WHO recommendations on PEP, we reviewed national guidelines of PEP for their recommendations.
Methods: Policies addressing PEP from 38 WHO HIV priority countries were obtained by searching governmental and non-governmental websites and consulting country and regional experts; these countries were selected based on HIV burden, new HIV acquisitions and the number of HIV-associated deaths.
Bacteriological quality and predictors of raw meat collected from municipal slaughterhouse and butcher shops in northeast, Ethiopia.

Department of Environmental Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Debre Markos University, Debre Markos, Ethiopia.
Background: Meat is a good source of protein in the human diet, and more than three-quarters of the world's population consumes it. It is the most perishable food item since it has enough nutrients to enable microbial growth. In underdeveloped nations, animals are routinely slaughtered and sold in unsanitary conditions, compromising the bacteriological quality and safety of the meat received from the animals.

J Sch Health
January 2025
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Washington, USA.
Background: Additive manufacturing or 3-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology with increasing prevalence in non-industrial settings such as university and school settings. However, printers are often located in spaces not designed for this purpose.
Methods: 3D-printer use in 11 university and K-12 schools was evaluated by identifying emissions using area air sampling for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particle counting instruments (PCIs) measuring ultrafine particulate (UFP) and evaluating controls to reduce potential exposure.
