Room decontamination with UV radiation.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of a UV-C-emitting device to eliminate clinically important nosocomial pathogens in a contaminated hospital room. METHODS This study was carried out in a standard but empty hospital room (phase 1) and in a room previously occupied by a patient with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) infection (...
متن کاملRoom-temperature macromolecular serial crystallography using synchrotron radiation
A new approach for collecting data from many hundreds of thousands of microcrystals using X-ray pulses from a free-electron laser has recently been developed. Referred to as serial crystallography, diffraction patterns are recorded at a constant rate as a suspension of protein crystals flows across the path of an X-ray beam. Events that by chance contain single-crystal diffraction patterns are ...
متن کاملRadiation dosimetry in the Leksell Gamma Knife treatment room
The medical technology company Elekta is the manufacturer of the worldwide used Leksell Gamma Knife, LGK, an instrument specially designed for treating brain disorders. Sweden today has two LGKs treating patients, one of an older model and one newer. Both are owned by the Karolinska Hospital and placed in Stockholm. The radioactive sources of Cobalt in the machine lead to an enhanced radiation ...
متن کاملDetermination of room entry times for radiation therapists after routine 15 MV photon treatments
Background: Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Photoneutron contamination and induced radioactivity of high energy therapeutic photon beams are considered as the main source of occupational exposure to radiation therapists who works with linear accelerators operating above 10 MV. Materials and Methods: The gamma dose rates were measured after termination of...
متن کاملAnxiety and depression in radiation technologists of diagnostic-therapeutic wards and operating room technicians
Introduction: Inappropriate emotional reactions such as anxiety and depression have a profound impact on workplace accidents and mistakes. Patient health is correlated with work situations and health of medical staff. Therefore, the current study was performed to determine and compare the anxiety and depression and related factors in radiation technologists and operating room technicians. Meth...
