Central venous catheter care and the healthcare–environment interface: outcomes of a quality improvement initiative in a resource-constrained ICU

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundCentral line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are major indicators of healthcare quality and patient safety, particularly in resource-constrained intensive care units (ICUs).AimThis study aimed to evaluate a pre-post quality ...

A new kind of geometric phases in open quantum systems and higher gauge theory

, 2011
A new approach extending the concept of geometric phases to adiabatic open quantum systems described by density matrices (mixed states) is proposed. This new approach is based on an analogy between open quantum systems and dissipative quantum systems ...

Impact of an Evidence-Based Bundle on Catheter-Associated Sepsis Incidence in Neonatal Intensive Care: A Quality Improvement Project

Diseases
Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) pose a significant risk, especially for very low birth weight infants due to their immature immune systems and the need for invasive procedures.

Quantifying synergistic effects of multi-temporal ecosystem service bundles for degraded ecosystem restoration: a case study in Hubei Province, China

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Ecological restoration is vital for combating ecosystem degradation and enhancing ecosystem services. However, conventional approaches typically tend to focus on a single ecosystem service at a particular time, resulting in a limited understanding of the

Groupoid Actions on Fractafolds [PDF]

, 2014
We define a bundle over a totally disconnected set such that each fiber is homeomorphic to a fractal blowup. We prove that there is a natural action of a Renault-Deaconu groupoid on our fractafold bundle and that the resulting action groupoid is a ...

Improving the health of the rural population in India through bundling WASH practices

Frontiers in Health Services
Achieving access to clean and safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) for all is one of the Sustainable Development Goals. However, most efforts to improve access to clean and safe WASH focus on a single practice, resulting in a low adoption rate and ...

Assessment of a Theoretical Model for Predicting Forced Convective Critical Heat Flux in Rod Bundles

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019
This study proposes a theoretical model for predicting forced convective critical heat flux (CHF) in rod bundles based on the bubble crowding phenomenon. The theoretical model applied to the rod bundle is based on Weisman-Pei's basic tube model. In order

Cytoskeletal Bundle Mechanics [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2008
The mechanical properties of cytoskeletal actin bundles play an essential role in numerous physiological processes, including hearing, fertilization, cell migration, and growth. Cells employ a multitude of actin-binding proteins to actively regulate bundle dimensions and cross-linking properties to suit biological function. The mechanical properties of

Molecular Methods for Rare Hemoglobinopathy Cases: First Brazilian Report of Pediatric Siblings with Hb O‐Arab and Alpha‐Thalassemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent globally; diagnosis is complex in high genetic admixture populations like Brazil. We report, in two pediatric siblings, the first documented cases in Brazil of heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) O‐Arab with coinheritance of α‐thalassemia (αα/−α4.2; −α3.7/−α4.2), resulting in microcytic and hypochromic anemia ...
