During the global health crisis that caused by Corona pandemic, development of detergent products has become necessary to confront spreading viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Here, three types (X, Y, Z) new triple-action glass cleaners (cleaning, polishing, sterilizing) were prepared from locally available, low cost, alcohol-free chemicals. The mixing preservative, color, perfume with Cocamidopropy...

The theoretical risk of prion transmission via surgical instruments is of current public and professional concern. These concerns are further heightened by reports of the strong surface affinity of the prion protein, and that the removal of organic material by conventional sterilization is often inadequate. Recent reports of contamination on sterilized endodontic files are of particular relevan...

In this review, inactivation and activation of microorganisms using fine bubbles are introduced. the first chapter, we introduce domestic overseas research trends sterilization methods ozone plasma. second focus on researches such as cleaning lipstick at cosmetic application, generation plasma-activated microbubbles for fresh foods verification underwater plasma characteristics under bubble dis...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to discuss the level of knowledge and approach on 'maintenance, calibration and cleaning of anaesthesia devices' among anaesthesiologists in Turkey. METHODS A questionnaire was prepared with 21 questions based on the Google document system, and these questionnaires were sent to the anaesthesiologists via e-mail. RESULTS Overall, 226 anaesthesiologists answe...

Endoscopes are used frequently for the diagnosis and therapy of medical disorders. For example, greater than 10000000 gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are performed each year in the United States. Failure to employ appropriate cleaning and disinfection/sterilization of endoscopes has been responsible for multiple nosocomial outbreaks and serious, sometimes life-threatening, infections. Fl...

Atmospheric pressure glow-discharge (APGD) plasmas have been proposed for sterilizing spacecraft surfaces prior to launch. The advantages of APGD plasmas for the sterilization of spacecraft surfaces include low temperatures at treatment sites, rapid inactivation kinetics of exposed microbial cells, physical degradation and removal of microbial cells, physical removal of organic biosignature mol...

AIMS To assess whether pre-soaking files in an enzymatic cleaner prior to ultrasonic cleaning had any effect on cleanliness and also to assess the effect of the time that endodontic files spend in an ultrasonic bath prior to sterilization on their overall cleanliness. METHODOLOGY Twenty root canals in a total of ten patients were cleaned and shaped using conventional techniques. Following use...
