Efficacy of a Disinfectant in Reducing Pathogen Contamination in Renovated Inpatient In-Room Sinks: A Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Introduction: The prevention of colonization of new inpatient room sinks with epidemiologically important pathogen (EIP) is poorly understood. Methods: We performed a randomized controlled trial and microbiological analysis to describe the timing and ...

Migration of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC)-Producing Enterobacter cloacae through Wastewater Pipework and Establishment in Hospital Sink Waste Traps in a Laboratory Model System

Microorganisms, 2021
Sink waste traps and drains are a reservoir for multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria in the hospital environment. It has been suggested that these bacteria can migrate through hospital plumbing.

Genomic Investigation and Successful Containment of an Intermittent Common Source Outbreak of OXA-48-Producing Enterobacter cloacae Related to Hospital Shower Drains

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
The hospital environment has been reported as a source of transmission events and outbreaks of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales. Interconnected plumbing systems and the microbial diversity in these reservoirs pose a challenge for outbreak ...

A JOURNEY TOWARDS WATER LESS NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT (NICU)

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Premature infants are traditionally nursed in an open bay Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), making them extremely vulnerable to recurrent outbreaks from the hospital-built environment (including water sources).

The Shallow Magmatic Plumbing System of the Deccan Traps, Evidence from Plagioclase Megacrysts and Their Host Lavas

Journal of Petrology, 2022
AbstractWe investigate the shallow plumbing system of the Deccan Traps Large Igneous Province using rock and mineral data from Giant Plagioclase Basalt (GPB) lava flows from around the entire province, but with a focus on the Saurashtra Peninsula, the Malwa Plateau, and the base and top of the Western Ghats (WG) lava pile. GPB lavas in the WG typically

Fault-bounded models of oil–Gas and gas–Hydrate accumulation in the Chaoshan Depression, the South China Sea

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Dongsha Basin is a large Mesozoic basin extended from the northern South China Sea (SCS) to onshore South China. Though long-term uplift and denudation occurred since the end of the Mesozoic, still thick Mesozoic strata (up to 5,000 m) relict over ...

Silent Very Long Period Seismic Events (VLPs) at Stromboli Volcano, Italy

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
At Stromboli Volcano, Italy, very long period (VLP) seismic signals and Strombolian eruptions have been attributed to the unsteady flow of gas slugs through the shallow plumbing system followed by explosive slug bursting at a free surface. In data from a

Study of a zirconium getter for purification of xenon gas

, 2010
Oxygen, nitrogen and methane purification efficiencies for a common zirconium getter are measured in 1050 Torr of xenon gas. Starting with impurity concentrations near 10^{-6} g/g, the outlet impurity level is found to be less than 120*10^{-12} g/g for ...

Cutting arcs for torus links and trees

, 2015
Among all torus links, we characterise those arising as links of simple plane curve singularities by the property that their fibre surfaces admit only a finite number of cutting arcs that preserve fibredness.

Characterisation of the semi-volatile component of Dissolved Organic Matter by Thermal Desorption – Proton Transfer Reaction – Mass Spectrometry [PDF]

, 2017
Proton Transfer Reaction – Mass Spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a sensitive, soft ionisation method suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile and semi-volatile organic vapours. PTR-MS is used for various environmental applications including
