The use of a UV-C disinfection robot in the routine cleaning process: a field study in an Academic hospital.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
BACKGROUND: Environmental surface decontamination is a crucial tool to prevent the spread of infections in hospitals. However, manual cleaning and disinfection may be insufficient to eliminate pathogens from contaminated surfaces. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C...

Predicting Proteolysis in Complex Proteomes Using Deep Learning.

International journal of molecular sciences
Both protease- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated proteolysis are thought to be key effectors of tissue remodeling. We have previously shown that comparison of amino acid composition can predict the differential susceptibilities of proteins t...

Feasibility of ultraviolet light-emitting diode irradiation robot for terminal decontamination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient rooms.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of using an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) robot for the terminal decontamination of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient rooms.

Accurate surface ultraviolet radiation forecasting for clinical applications with deep neural network.

Scientific reports
Exposure to appropriate doses of UV radiation provides enormously health and medical treatment benefits including psoriasis. Typical hospital-based phototherapy cabinets contain a bunch of artificial lamps, either broad-band (main emission spectrum 2...

Ultraviolet disinfection robots to improve hospital cleaning: Real promise or just a gimmick?

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
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...

UVC disinfection robot.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The aim of the present work is to contribute in the fight against the spread of Covid-19, a novel human coronavirus, in hospitals, public transport, airlines, and any enclosed areas. In this study, we have adopted the physical disinfection method by ...

Machine learning for the prediction of sunscreen sun protection factor and protection grade of UVA.

Experimental dermatology
We report a prediction model for sunscreen sun protection factor (SPF) and protection grade of ultraviolet (UV) A (PA) based on machine learning. We illustrate with real clinical test results of UV protection ability of sunscreen for SPF and PA. With...

Validation of a UPLC-PDA method to study the content and stability of 5-chloro 8-hydroxyquinoline and 5,7-dichloro 8-hydroxyquinoline in medicated feed used in swine farming.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
A new, rapid, simple and specific method to determine 5-chloro 8-hydroxyquinoline (5-HQ) and 5,7-dichloro 8-hydroxyquinoline (5,7-HQ) stability in swine feed was optimized and validated. A system consisting of an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C column (1.7 μm, 2....

Protective effect of polysaccharide from Sophora japonica L. flower buds against UVB radiation in a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells).

Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology
Natured botanical extract has attracted considerable attention recently in the field of skin anti-ultraviolet (UV) radiation. As a medicinal herb, Sophora japonica flower buds contained several components such as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, triterpene...

Thermal and irradiation resistance of folic acid encapsulated in zein ultrafine fibers or nanocapsules produced by electrospinning and electrospraying.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The objectives of this study were to characterize zein fibers and capsules prepared by electrospinning and electrospraying techniques, respectively, and then use them to encapsulate folic acid. Folic acid containing fibers and capsules (0.5, 1.0, and...
