Impact of universal disinfectant cap implementation on central line-associated bloodstream infections.
BACKGROUND Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) result in increased length of stay, cost, and patient morbidity and mortality. One CLABSI prevention method is disinfection of intravenous access points. The literature suggests that placing disinfectant caps over needleless connectors decreases CLABSI risk. METHODS A quasi-experimental intervention study was conducted in a >...
متن کاملPutting a cap on reinitiation
The authors have found that the two yeast mRNA capping enzymes, Cet1p and Ceg1p, are potent in vitro inhibitors of transcription. Cet1p, stimulated by its Ceg1p binding partner, stalled transcription by blocking reinitiation at already activated promoters. Conversely, elimination of Cet1p in vivo stimulated transcription. Although Cet1p is the first general repressor found to act at reinitiatio...

Mitochondrial morphology shapes differentiation M itochondrial fi ssion regulates the development of Drosophila egg chambers , Mitra et al. reveal. Fusion and fission proteins shape mitochondria into either long, interconnected tubules or shorter fragments dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Mitra et al. previously found that tissue culture cells must fuse their mitochondria into a large networ...
متن کاملProspective observational study on central line-associated bloodstream infections and central venous catheter occlusions using a negative displacement connector with an alcohol disinfecting cap.
BACKGROUND Major complications of central venous catheter (CVC) use include bloodstream infection and occlusion. We performed a prospective, observational study to determine the rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and CVC occlusion using a negative displacement connector with an alcohol disinfecting cap. METHODS Patients were followed from the time of CVC insertion ...
متن کاملDiagnosing and reporting of central line-associated bloodstream infections.
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) is often controversial, and existing guidelines differ in important ways. OBJECTIVE To determine both the range of practices involved in obtaining blood culture samples and how central line-associated infections are diagnosed and to obtain members' opinions regarding the process of designating bloodstream inf...
