Hygiene of the skin: when is clean too clean?
نویسنده
چکیده
Skin hygiene, particularly of the hands, is a primary mechanism for reducing contact and fecal-oral transmission of infectious agents. Widespread use of antimicrobial products has prompted concern about emergence of resistance to antiseptics and damage to the skin barrier associated with frequent washing. This article reviews evidence for the relationship between skin hygiene and infection, the effects of washing on skin integrity, and recommendations for skin care practices.

E-Clean Matrices and Unit-Regular Matrices
Let $a, b, k,in K$ and $u, v in U(K)$. We show for any idempotent $ein K$, $(a 0|b 0)$ is e-clean iff $(a 0|u(vb + ka) 0)$ is e-clean and if $(a 0|b 0)$ is 0-clean, $(ua 0|u(vb + ka) 0)$ is too.
متن کاملOn the nil-clean matrix over a UFD
In this paper we characterize all $2times 2$ idempotent and nilpotent matrices over an integral domain and then we characterize all $2times 2$ strongly nil-clean matrices over a PID. Also, we determine when a $2times 2$ matrix over a UFD is nil-clean.

متن کاملToo clean, or not too clean: the Hygiene Hypothesis and home hygiene
The 'hygiene hypothesis' as originally formulated by Strachan, proposes that a cause of the recent rapid rise in atopic disorders could be a lower incidence of infection in early childhood, transmitted by unhygienic contact with older siblings. Use of the term 'hygiene hypothesis' has led to several interpretations, some of which are not supported by a broader survey of the evidence. The increa...
متن کاملRings in which elements are the sum of an idempotent and a regular element
Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...
