A new disinfectant [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1966
Qualitative and quantitative tests have been carried out to assess the value of Cidex 1 , a glutaraldehyde solution, as a disinfectant. Most of the tests were qualitative and were carried out in conditions as closely resembling those ...

Photothermal‐Activated Antibacterial Amyloid‐Polyphenol‐Iron Hydrogels for Synergistic Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We report a thermally triggered supramolecular hydrogel (LTFe) formed by Fe3+ and tannic acid on lysozyme amyloid fibrils. Fe3+ enables rapid gelation and photothermal transduction with an efficiency of 88.56%. The LTFe hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility, potent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S.

Microbial transmission in an outpatient clinic and impact of an intervention with an ethanol-based disinfectant

American Journal of Infection Control, 2018
Background: Halting the spread of harmful microbes requires an understanding of their transmission via hands and fomites. Previous studies explored acute and long‐term care environments but not outpatient clinics.

Microbial contamination and pharmaceutical stability in space environment: addressing dual challenge with innovative technologies and sustainable practices

Frontiers in Space Technologies
As human physiology gets altered in the presence of space flight conditions such as microgravity and radiation, microbes also behave differently in space. Many microorganisms have been isolated from space stations and spacecrafts after human space travel.

Neutrophil‐Mimetic MRI Enables Ultra‐Early Detection of Vascular Inflammation After Stroke

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed neutrophil‐mimetic MRI probes that detect ultra‐early neuroinflammation following ischemic stroke by targeting E‐selectin. Within seconds of their injection, these microparticles mimic initial leukocyte adhesion to the activated cerebral endothelium.

Atomic Layer Deposition Processes: Versatile Platforms for Engineering ZnO‐Chitosan Biointerfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Vapour phase metalation (VPM), multiplied pulsed vapour phase infiltration (MPI), and O2 plasma‑enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) tailor Zn–chitosan (Zn‑CS) films. PEALD improves wettability and biocompatibility. MPI enhances semiconductor behavior. Antiseptic selectivity: VPM → E. coli; MPI → H. pylori.
