Pitfalls in infection control.
To the Editor: We would like to share with you several “pitfalls” in infection control that we have experienced at our 300bed referral center.

Healthcare students often are not taught the importance and rationale of...
متن کاملAdvantages and Drawbacks of Variational Inequality Formulations
In recent years, the variational inequality framework has been recognized as a powerful modelling tool in operations research and economics, whenever equilibrium relationships among several agents occur. This interest has prompted researchers to develop eecient algorithms for solving variational inequalities in nite dimensional spaces. In this presentation we will try to assess the advantages a...
متن کاملCandidate gene case-control association studies: advantages and potential pitfalls.
There is increasing information on the importance of genetic polymorphisms in human genes. Polymorphisms occur on average once every 500-1000 base pairs in the human genome and are useful in the identification of genes involved in human disease. Some genetic polymorphisms have functionally significant effects on the gene product and are the most useful type of polymorphism in disease associatio...
متن کاملDisinfection and the control of nosocomial infection.
Nosocomial or hospital acquired infections have become a major cause of morbidity and mortality today. The reported rates of nosocomial infection vary depending on the efficiency of the surveillance system and the definitions of infection employed. In the United States it has been estimated that about 5% of hospitalised patients acquire a nosocomial infection. This works out to be nearly 2 mill...
متن کاملElectrochemotherapy: advantages and drawbacks in treatment of cancer patients
Electrochemotherapy combines administration of nonpermeant or poorly permeant chemotherapeutic drugs with application of electric pulses to the tumors in order to facilitate the drug delivery into the cells. Thus, enhanced drug delivery can substantially potentiate chemotherapeutic drug effectiveness, locally at the site of the cell electroporation by electric pulses, without affecting drug eff...
