Aims: To assesses the effectiveness of surgical handwashing (S-HW) in healthcare workers (HCWs) terms organic material and bacteria elimination by means bioluminescence assays.
 Methods: 62-HCWs were subjected to analyses determine adenosine triphosphate (ATP) colony forming units (CFU) Enterobacteriaceae (EB) E. coli before after S-HW. A checklist evaluate adherence hand hygiene (HH) prot...

background: some evidence, not in large study populations, suggests that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) and metabolic syndrome (mets) share common interactions. we aimed to determine the prevalence of nafld and mets in a large population registered to kavar cohort study center. we also assessed the role of each component of mets in nafld existence. methods: data were obtained from 341...

background: metabolic syndrome (ms) is highly significant due to its association to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. the purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of ms according to the report of the iranian national committee of obesity criteria (inco) versus adult treatment panel iii (atpiii) in babol, north of iran. methods: data obtained based on criteria atp iii from ...

Since December 2019, many statistical spatial–temporal methods have been developed to track and predict the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we analyzed dataset which includes number biweekly infected cases registered in Ontario from March 2020 end June 2021. We made use Bayesian Spatial–temporal models Area-to-point (ATP) Area-to-area (ATA) Poisson Kriging models. With models, effec...

Studies on aggressiveness of parasitoids, as assessed by their parasitism against pests, used in biological-control programs are highly important to select the most suitable species and/or strain control insect pests. The present study investigated whether egg parasitoid Trichogramma galloi Zucchi, an efficient agent for sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) Brazil, could be replaced...

Abstract Birds and mammals produce most adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, but when oxygen is not present in sufficient levels, ATP can be produced anaerobic glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the final step of glycolysis by converting phosphoenolpyruvate diphosphate (ADP) into pyruvate ATP. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) important for catalyzing ...

The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system prevents manages physical, chemical biological risks at places where foods beverages are processed, packaged, distributed consumed. present study (1) assessed the level of microbial contamination food contact surfaces using adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-bioluminescence in Iraq restaurants; (2) investigated surfaces; (3) evaluated eff...
