Reducing oral contamination during corneal scrapes
Aims To identify potential contaminants of the corneal sampling procedure and examine the effect of wearing surgical face masks on the rate of contamination. Methods Ten surgeons recited out loud a 30 s standardised script for corneal scraping with blood agar plates positioned 30 cm away from them. Three groups were identified: in group 1 a surgical mask was worn; group 2 had no mask worn; an...
متن کاملReducing bacterial contamination of enteral feeds.
OBJECTIVE It has previously been shown that microbial contamination of enteral feeds given to children in hospital and at home is common. This study therefore examined the effects of improvements in the enteral feeding protocol, coupled with an intensive staff training programme, on bacterial contamination. METHODS The enteral feeding protocol was modified by: priming the feeding set on an al...
متن کاملReducing Metal Contamination in Cu-64 production
In the past several years there has been a growing interest in the development of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with metallic radionuclides (1). Of particular interest is the positron emitter Cu (t1⁄2 = 12.7 h) for molecular imaging of small molecules as well as peptides and antibodies (2). This has led us to the recent implementation of a solid target production facility using commercially avai...
متن کاملReducing contamination by exposure plus safety behaviour.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It has been proposed that the judicious use of safety behaviour can facilitate improvements in the acceptability of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). It was decided to explore the possibility of facilitating CBT by introducing a form of safety behaviour. We sought to assess the degree to which Exposure plus Safety Behaviour (E + SB) is an effective intervention for co...
متن کاملReducing Microbial Contamination in Hospital Blankets
The medical industry is challenged by the presence of microorganisms and the negative effects they cause. Deterioration, defacement and odors are all dramatic effects which occur from the microbial contamination of surfaces as varied as carpeting and medical non-woven fabrics. These surfaces can also act as a microbial "harbor", as most offer ideal environments for the proliferation of microorg...
