Graduate Institute of Human Resource and Knowledge Management, National Kaohsiung Normal University, Kaohsiung 802561, Taiwan.
Microorganisms, including pathogens that cause skin, respiratory, and urinary tract infections, are widespread in our environment. Despite routine cleaning with bleach and disinfectants, the transmission of pathogens still occurs, leading to potential infectious diseases. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effect of two coating formulas against common environmental pathogens like , , , , sp.

There is a significant incentive to reduce the rate of CAUTIs through multimodal quality improvement initiatives; however, these initiatives are often costly to implement.
Objective: This article examines the cost-savings associated with a novel "two-part, two-person" catheter insertion protocol implemented at a pediatric quaternary care center PICU which replaced costly pre-packaged, closed system urinary catheter kits with their individually packaged components, along with its impact on CAUTI rates and nursing satisfaction.
Vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomy for large uterus using the da Vinci SP.
J Minim Invasive Gynecol
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kurashiki Medical Center, Okayama, Japan.
Objective: Recent advancements of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery have led to the development of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) [1,2]. Robot-assisted vNOTES has also been explored as a method providing accurate and fine surgical procedures with improved ergonomics, visualization, wristed instruments, elimination of the hand tremor [3,4]. The objective of this video is to demonstrate the technical and anatomical highlights of a vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomy (VANH) using the da Vinci SP (SP).

January 2025
Department of Pediatric Nephrology and Rheumatology, Dokuz Eylül University Medical Faculty, Izmir, Turkey.
Background: As voiding cystourethrography is invasive and exposes to radiation and urinary tract infection (UTI), identifying only high-grade reflux is important. We aimed to identify clinical, laboratory and imaging variables associated with high-grade primary reflux in children presenting with UTIs and/or urinary tract dilatation and develop a prediction model for severe reflux.
Methods: Data of children who underwent voiding cystourethrography due to UTI and/or urinary tract dilatation were retrospectively analyzed for demographic, clinical and imaging findings.
Survey of Secondhand Smoke for 3-Year-Old Children in the Current Era of New Tobacco Products.
Acta Paediatr
January 2025
Noda Children's Clinic, Kushima, Japan.
Aim: To investigate children's exposure to secondhand smoke and aerosols in the current era of new tobacco products.
Methods: A total of 200 children were recruited from among children who had undergone health checkups for 3-year-olds at the clinic. We investigated the smoking status of their families using a questionnaire and measured urinary cotinine concentrations in their children.
