Bacterial Load of Virtual Reality Headsets

26th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology, 2020
As commodity virtual reality (VR) systems become more common, they are rapidly gaining popularity for entertainment, education, and training purposes. VR utilizes headsets which come in contact with or close proximity to the user’s eyes, nose, and forehead.

The Chlamydia trachomatis bacterial load

2021
Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) worldwide. Although CT may be asymptomatic, it may also cause infertility. In other STDs such as HIV and gonorrhoea, the load, i.e. the number of microorganisms, is associated with symptoms and complications.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Cathelicidin Correlates With the Bacterial Load and Outcomes in Childhood Bacterial Meningitis

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2018
Background: Large cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bacterial load in bacterial meningitis (BM) relates to poor outcome. However, the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin seems important to host defense. We studied how cathelicidin concentrations and bacterial load in CSF relate in childhood BM and to what extent they may predict the ...

Techniques for Decreasing Bacterial Load for Open Shoulder Surgery

JBJS Reviews, 2022
» Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 5% has been shown to reduce Cutibacterium acnes load on the skin. BPO 5% with miconazole nitrate (MN) 2% may be beneficial, whereas BPO 5% with clindamycin cream 1% to 1.2% does not seem to have additive effects when compared with BPO 5% alone.

Severity of Pneumococcal Pneumonia Associated With Genomic Bacterial Load

Chest, 2009
There is a clinical need for more objective methods of identifying patients at risk for septic shock and poorer outcomes among those with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). As viral load is useful in viral infections, we hypothesized that bacterial load may be associated with outcomes in patients with pneumococcal pneumonia.Quantification of ...

Magnetic manipulation of bacterial magnetic nanoparticle-loaded neurospheres

Integrative Biology, 2014
Specific targeting of cells to sites of tissue damage and delivery of high numbers of transplanted cells to lesion tissue in vivo are critical parameters for the success of cell-based therapies. Here, we report a promising in vitro model system for studying the homing of transplanted cells, which may eventually be applicable for targeted regeneration ...

Structural basis for substrate loading in bacterial RNA polymerase

Nature, 2007
The mechanism of substrate loading in multisubunit RNA polymerase is crucial for understanding the general principles of transcription yet remains hotly debated. Here we report the 3.0-A resolution structures of the Thermus thermophilus elongation complex (EC) with a non-hydrolysable substrate analogue, adenosine-5'-[(alpha,beta)-methyleno ...
