As an important section for controlling hospital infection, the main responsibility of the sterilization supply room is to clean, disinfect, sterilize, store, and distribute all medical devices that need to be reused in the hospital, and the quality of its work is closely related to the normal work of the hospital. Disinfection and supply department is the premise and foundation of the hospital department, mainly responsible for the recovery, cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, storage, and distribution of medical devices. The cleaning and disinfection work is characterized by strong technicality and high requirements, and the work effect is directly related to the safety of patients' lives and the occurrence of hospital infections. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scientific and efficient management mode to be applied to the work of the supply room. The traditional management mode has some drawbacks, which affects the actual work of the hospital. Disinfection and supply rooms are an important part of hospital infection control and an important department to ensure the quality of health care. An effective management mode can not only improve the efficiency but also the overall quality of work, and PDCA (plan-do-check action cycle) as an advanced management mode can effectively improve the quality of management. This study investigates the effect of PDCA cycle management based on artificial intelligence algorithms in the nursing management of sterile supply rooms, and the experimental results show that the algorithm model can effectively reduce the incidence of adverse events and improve the rate of sterilization standards, which has certain practical significance.

Background: Despite wide adoption in the healthcare of safety event report (SER) systems, there is a paucity of unified structures for prompt analysis and action while retaining reporter confidentiality. We used a synesis framework to change siloed reviews of safety reports to a comprehensive appraisal of quality, safety, productivity and reliability to facilitate interventions.
Methods: After a needs assessment survey, we launched serial plan-do-study-act cycles to (1) enhance teams' ability to access SERs, (2) facilitate regular multidisciplinary review of SERs to identify actionable opportunities, (3) allocate action priority using failure mode and effects analysis, and (4) launch actions and summarise data.

Introduction: Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a life-threatening disease, especially in the Indian subcontinent. Knowledge about the nature and ecology of the dispersal of JE virus (JEV) vectors needs to be increased. This study mechanistically explores the ecology of JEV vectors and the mode and frequency of occurrence of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) and JEV infections.

Chemical crop protection is one of the most cost-effective methods for agriculture, as crop failures can be prevented, and sustainable growth can be enabled regardless of the seasons. Agricultural production must be significantly increased in the future to meet the food needs of a growing world population. However, the continued loss of established active ingredients due to consumer perceptions, changing needs of farmers and ever-changing regulatory requirements is higher than annually new active ingredients introduced to the market.

Background: Alcohol, a significant public health concern, contributes to a substantial burden on emergency services. Identifying avoidable causes of Emergency Department (ED) presentations may reduce hospital overcrowding and benefit public health.
Aims: This prevalence study aims to provide a detailed analysis of patients presenting to the ED at Mercy University Hospital (MUH) as "Apparently Drunk" in 2022 and 2023.
