Characterizing Subjects Exposed to Humidifier Disinfectants Using Computed-Tomography-Based Latent Traits: A Deep Learning Approach.
International journal of environmental research and public health
Sep 20, 2022
Around nine million people have been exposed to toxic humidifier disinfectants (HDs) in Korea. HD exposure may lead to HD-associated lung injuries (HDLI). However, many people who have claimed that they experienced HD exposure were not diagnosed with...
Antibiofilm activity of glycolic acid and glyoxal and their diffusion-reaction interactions with biofilm components.
Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Dec 22, 2021
Biofilms on food-contact surfaces act as potential reservoirs of microbial pathogens and can cause operational problems. The search for effective biofilm control agents is a significant research need. In this study, glycolic acid (GA) and glyoxal (GO...
Ultraviolet disinfection robots to improve hospital cleaning: Real promise or just a gimmick?
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
Feb 12, 2021
The global COVID-19 pandemic due to the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has challenged the availability of traditional surface disinfectants. It has also stimulated the production of ultraviolet-disinfection robots by companies and institutions. These r...
Spectrophotometric Online Detection of Drinking Water Disinfectant: A Machine Learning Approach.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nov 21, 2020
The spectra fingerprint of drinking water from a water treatment plant (WTP) is characterised by a number of light-absorbing substances, including organic, nitrate, disinfectant, and particle or turbidity. Detection of disinfectant (monochloramine) c...
Microbial contamination and efficacy of disinfection procedures of companion robots in care homes.
PloS one
Aug 26, 2020
BACKGROUND: Paro and other robot animals can improve wellbeing for older adults and people with dementia, through reducing depression, agitation and medication use. However, nursing and care staff we contacted expressed infection control concerns. Li...
Radial basis function artificial neural network able to accurately predict disinfection by-product levels in tap water: Taking haloacetic acids as a case study.
Chemosphere
Jan 22, 2020
Control of risks caused by disinfection by-products (DBPs) requires pre-knowledge of their levels in drinking water. In this study, a radial basis function (RBF) artificial neural network (ANN) was proposed to predict the concentrations of haloacetic...
Biocide susceptibilities and biofilm-forming capacities of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates from Malaysia.
Journal of infection in developing countries
Jul 31, 2019
INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative nosocomial pathogen that has the capacity to develop resistance to all classes of antimicrobial compounds. However, very little is known regarding its susceptibility to biocides (antiseptics an...
Antibacterial efficacy of handrubbing for 15 versus 30 seconds: EN 1500-based randomized experimental study with different loads of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Clinical microbiology and infection : the official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
Oct 26, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Compliance with the World Health Organization 'how to handrub' action is suboptimal. Simplifying the hand-hygiene action may improve practice. However, it is crucial to preserve antibacterial efficacy. We tested the non-inferiority of 15 ...
Sanitation of tomatoes based on a combined approach of washing process and pulsed light in conjunction with selected disinfectants.
Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Sep 10, 2018
In this study, we evaluated the performance of a large-scale decontamination system based on a washing process in combination with pulsed light (PL) exposure and HO/chlorine. In order to identify optimum processing condition, we first evaluated the e...
Imidazolium ionic liquids as effective antiseptics and disinfectants against drug resistant S. aureus: In silico and in vitro studies.
Computational biology and chemistry
Feb 8, 2018
This paper describes Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) studies, molecular docking and in vitro antibacterial activity of several potent imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and its clinical isolate. Sm...
