A Novel Device-Integrated Drug Delivery System for Local Inhibition of Urinary Tract Infection
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a frequent community-acquired infection and the most common nosocomial infection. Here, we developed a novel antimicrobial catheter concept that utilizes a silicone-based interpenetrating

Metal–Organic Framework‐Based Antimicrobial Touch Surfaces to Prevent Cross‐Contamination
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A MOF‐based antimicrobial door handle cover is developed. It completely inhibits the cross‐contamination of Gram‐positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis), Gram‐negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii), and fungi (Candida albicans). Abstract Infection diseases

Effect of reduced urinary catheter duration on time to ambulation after VATS lobectomy
Surgery in Practice and Science, 2023 Introduction: Faster time to ambulation (TTA) after video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with improved outcomes. We hypothesized that reduced urinary catheter duration leads to shorter TTA after VATS lobectomy.
