Hiding in Plain Sight: Observations from a Review of Positive Urine Cultures Prior to an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program Campaign Targeting Asymptomatic Bacteriuria

Numerical Analysis of the Thermal Interaction of Cell Phone Radiation with Human Eye Tissues

Introduction: The present study aimed to present a numerical analysis of the penetration depth,  specific absorption rate (SAR), and temperature rise in various eye tissues with varying distance between radiation source and exposed human eye tissues (i.e., cornea, posterior chamber, anterior chamber, lens, sclera, vitreous humor, and iris) at frequencies of 900 and1800 MHz. Materials and Method...

Hiding in Plain Sight: How HIV Evades Innate Immune Responses

Two groups have identified SAMHD1, a protein encoded by an Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome susceptibility gene, as the factor that restricts infection of macrophages and dendritic cells with HIV-1. Here we discuss implications of this discovery for induction of antiviral protective immunity.

Hiding in plain sight: Surgical smoke threatens health of OR staff.

1 Hiding in plain sight: Surgical smoke threatens health of OR staff Research has shown that electrosurgical smoke presents a serious health hazard for the OR team. However, many remain skeptical of its harmful effects, and compliance with smoke evacuation recommendations is not consistent. Electrosurgical smoke results from the vaporization of tissue, fluid, and blood into a gaseous form by el...

Hiding in plain sight: a closer look at posterior cortical atrophy.

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome dominated by deterioration of higher visual function (particularly visuospatial and visuoperceptual abilities). It is most commonly due to Alzheimer's disease pathology, but may also be caused by dementia with Lewy bodies, corticobasal degeneration or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Patients often present to optometrists, ophthalmologi...
