Zero infection

Infection prevention and control: achieving a culture of zero tolerance.

Chasing zero: our journey to preventing surgical site infection.

After an increase in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections was discovered at a health care facility in Arizona, a multidisciplinary team convened to investigate the underlying problem and work toward eliminating surgical site infections. The team investigated environmental factors, held inservice sessions to reinforce sterile technique, and made important changes to the facilit...

Zero calcium, zero events?

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases remain the number one killer in the world, accounting for nearly one-third of all deaths worldwide. There is a clinical dilemma, in that almost half of acute coronary events occur in previously asymptomatic patients, and nearly 70% of acute coronary events result from coronary lesions that are not hemodynamically significant or flow-limiting before the ev...

Density near zero

Let $S$ be a dense subsemigroup of $(0,+infty)$. In this paper, we state   definition of thick near zero, and also  we will introduce a definition that is equivalent to the definition of piecewise syndetic near zero which presented by Hindman  and Leader in [6].  We define density near zero for subsets of $S$ by a collection of nonempty finite subsets of $S$ and we investigate the conditions un...
