Creating Synergy: The Partnership Between Infection Prevention & Control Architectural Design for a Healthier Hospital.
Stud Health Technol Inform
November 2024
Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Erasmus MC University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- The relationship between hospital design and infection prevention is vital for creating a safe healthcare environment, as poor design can lead to increased hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), higher costs, and damage to hospital reputations.
- The paper differentiates between exogenous and endogenous HAIs, explaining how exogenous infections can be reduced through smart hospital layouts, while endogenous infections require customized strategies like antimicrobial prophylaxis.
- Key infection control measures include adhering to CDC guidelines, ensuring efficient patient flow, using appropriate materials, and advocating for single-occupancy rooms to lower cross-contamination risks.
Extremely Stable Ag-Based Photonics, Plasmonic, Optical, and Electronic Materials and Devices Designed with Surface Chemistry Engineering for Anti-Tarnish.
Small
August 2024
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea University, Seoul, 02841, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Silver (Ag) metal structures show great potential for advanced photonics and electronics due to their high reflectivity, conductivity, and unique properties, but they are vulnerable to damage from S ions in the environment.
- The study develops a method using (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) ligands to protect Ag structures from deterioration caused by sulfur exposure, ensuring their performance remains stable.
- This approach allows for highly sustainable Ag structures across various dimensions while potentially reducing electronic waste and its environmental impact.
Effect of in vivo aging on the surface and electrochemical properties of magnetic attachments used in facial prostheses: A retrieval analysis study.
J Prosthet Dent
January 2024
Professor, Department of Biomaterials, School of Dentistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Greece.
Statement Of Problem: Reasons associated with the failure of facial prosthesis are of major concern and may be associated with deterioration of both elastomeric materials and magnetic attachments. However, the extent of deterioration of these components is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate selected retrieved facial prostheses and provide information regarding the electrochemical characterization of the recovered magnetic attachments.
Quantitatively linking morphology and optical response of individual silver nanohedra.
Nanoscale
August 2022
School of Physics and Astronomy, Cardiff University, The Parade, Cardiff CF24 3AA, UK.
The optical response of metal nanoparticles is governed by plasmonic resonances, which are dictated by the particle morphology. A thorough understanding of the link between morphology and optical response requires quantitatively measuring optical and structural properties of the same particle. Here we present such a study, correlating electron tomography and optical micro-spectroscopy.
