Use of Maximal Sterile Barriers during Central Venous Catheter Insertion: Clinical and Economic Outcomes [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2004
We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis to determine the effect of maximal sterile barriers (MSBs) on reducing central venous catheter (CVC)--related infections. Use of MSBs when placing CVCs may reduce the risk of infections but is more cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive than other techniques.We developed a decision analytic model in which a

Potential Waste‐to‐Wealth Strategy for Combining Medical Surgical Gloves‐Derived Pyrolysis Oil with Pentanol and Nanoparticles: Experimental Analysis on Engine Behaviors

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
This study evaluates surgical glove waste pyrolysis oil blended with pentanol and nano‐additives as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. The nano‐SiO₂ blend improved engine performance by 9.72% and significantly reduced emissions, offering a sustainable, waste‐to‐wealth solution for cleaner energy without engine modifications. Abstract In this work,

Bactericidal, Virucidal, and Biocompatible Properties of 3D Printed Materials Enhanced with Copper and Zinc Nanoparticles

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
As population growth, urbanization, and climate change increase the spread of pathogens, hospital infections now affect 1 in 31 patients, costing billions annually. This study presents a new approach by integrating copper and zinc oxide nanoparticles into 3D‐printed materials.

Resource inequality limits transfer of nutrients from soils to plants in experimental grassland

Oikos, EarlyView.
A system's functioning is influenced not only by resource availability but also, likely, by resource inequality. In ecological systems most experimental manipulations of resource availability typically focused on homogeneous resource addition, or spatial heterogeneity of resources in a qualitative sense. Here, we test whether resource inequality per se

La femme fait la maison: The Accumulation of Surplus Value through Family Planning in Burkina Faso1

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the 1960s, demographers, international donors, and governments have calculated the political, economic, and social benefits of modern contraception usage in West Africa. We evidence how family planning technologies (FPTs) that are tethered to population development extract double value (productive and reproductive labour) from Burkinabè ...
