Prevention of nosocomial transmission of norovirus by strategic infection control measures.
BACKGROUND Nosocomial outbreaks of norovirus infection pose a great challenge to the infection control team. METHODS Between November 1, 2009, and February 28, 2010, strategic infection control measures were implemented in a hospital network. In addition to timely staff education and promotion of directly observed hand hygiene, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction for norovirus was...

در این پایان نامه، درهمتنیدگی بین یک سیستم نقطه کوانتومی دوگانه(مولکول نقطه کوانتومی) و میدان مورد مطالعه قرار گرفته است. از آنتروپی ون نیومن به عنوان ابزاری برای بررسی درهمتنیدگی بین اتم و میدان استفاده شده و تاثیر پارامترهای مختلف، نظیر تونل زنی(که توسط تغییر ولتاژ ایجاد می شود)، شدت میدان و نسبت دو گسیل خودبخودی بر رفتار درجه درهمتنیدگی سیستم بررسی شده اشت.با تغییر هر یک از این پارامترها، در...
15 صفحه اولUsing molecular epidemiology to trace transmission of nosocomial norovirus infection.
Nosocomial norovirus (NoV) infection is common and may lead to complications in vulnerable hospitalized patients. Understanding sources and modes of transmission of noroviruses within health care settings will support the design of evidence-based strategies for reducing introduction and further spread. We sequenced a highly variable segment of the genome to identify possible clusters in patient...
متن کاملNosocomial transmission of norovirus is mainly caused by symptomatic cases.
BACKGROUND Nosocomial norovirus (NoV) infection is common and may increase the burden of disease in healthcare settings, particularly in vulnerable hospitalized patients. Implementing effective infection control during and after admission may limit further spread, but evidence-based measures are lacking. METHODS In this study, we performed a systematic evaluation of sources and modes of trans...

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of nosocomial adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) infection and to assess the effect of an improved infection control policy on reduction of its incidence. Design: Prospective, observational, clinical study. Participants/Methods: Patients with suspected AKC and treated at Moorefields Eye Hospital emergency department were evaluated as well as a collection ...
