Article Abstract

The amount of medical waste, especially infusion bottles, is a problem for environmental pollution. Improper management of infusion bottle waste can have an impact on disease transmission. The medical waste treatment used high technology and high costs will be a financial burden, so simple and effective treatment innovations is needed. This study uses an experimental method of removing bacteria from infusion bottles using a mixture of water and Andoso soil as a solution for washing infusion bottle waste. The soil solution concentration used in washing was 45% with a contact time of 2 minutes. The experiment was carried out with two repetitions. The treatment effect on decreasing the number of bacteria using a multiple linear regression mathematical model. The results showed that the disinfection process of bacterial-contaminated infusion bottles using water required rinsing up to six times, whereas using 45% andosol soil solution only rinsed once. The effectiveness of the disinfection of infusion bottles contaminated with bacteria using soil solution reduces the number of bacteria by 98%.

With the continuous progress of medical technology, traditional medicine bottle identification and management methods have problems such as low efficiency and large errors, and innovative solutions are urgently needed. Due to its high sensitivity and rapid response characteristics, this study aims to develop a robot system for intravenous infusion based on nanophotonics sensing to realize accurate identification, grasping and opening of medicine bottles in a dynamic environment, so as to improve the safety and efficiency of intravenous infusion. In this paper, an intelligent robot system with nanophotonics sensor is designed, which uses nanomaterials to produce high sensitivity sensor, so as to realize the information recognition of medicine bottle labels.

Objective: Meropenem degradation poses a challenge to continuous infusion (CI) implementation. However, data about the impact of degradation on the probability of target attainment (PTA) of meropenem has been limited. This study evaluated the stability of meropenem brands and the consequence of in-bottle degradation on PTA in different environmental scenarios.

Article Synopsis
  • Alcohol use disorder features continued drinking despite negative effects, with recent studies indicating that female mice exhibit greater aversion resistance to alcohol than males.
  • The research aimed to explore sex differences in the corticotropin-releasing hormone (Crh) system's involvement in aversion resistance during quinine-adulterated alcohol consumption.
  • Findings revealed that female mice showed increased Crhr1 levels in the medial prefrontal cortex after quinine-alcohol intake and that blocking Crhr1 reduced their consumption, suggesting a crucial role of Crhr1 in aversion-resistant drinking behaviors in females.

Article Synopsis
  • The popularity of rose tea is increasing due to its unique flavor and health benefits, particularly its protective properties against alcohol-induced liver damage from a compound called ETCS.
  • The study assessed the customer acceptance and physicochemical properties of eight different rose tea varieties, finding that Qianye rose is favored for its taste, while Hetian rose has the highest ETCS content.
  • Optimal brewing conditions for maximizing ETCS levels in rose tea are 95 °C mineral water for 5 minutes, and the tea can be brewed at least three times, offering valuable information for health-conscious drinkers.
