Background and Objectives: Hand hygiene (HH) is crucial for preventing of infectious complications in health care settings. Informing healthcare workers on the recommended hand washing method can promote this practice in the clinical staff. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of training the WHO-recommended five-moment hand washing method in promoting hand hygiene in a health care setting. ...

OBJECTIVES Today many clinicians use both stainless-steel hand K-files and nickel- titanium rotary files during endodontic treatment. It is of great importance for the clinician to have confidence in the accuracy of an apex locator even if these files were used interchangeably. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy of the Raypex5 electronic apex locator using stainless...

The perceived distance between two touches is anisotropic on many parts of the body. Generally, tactile distances oriented across body width are as larger than along length, though magnitude such biases differs substantially In this study, we investigated perception back. Participants made verbal estimates pairs either or length (a) left hand, (b) upper back, and (c) lower There were clear anis...

When making an eye movement and a hand movement toward a visual target, the movements could be guided by visual judgments of direction and distance (or length) of the required displacement (vector coding), estimates of the final position (position coding), or both. Using the same information for the eyes and the hand is efficient; however, if this information contains an error, this causes both...

The lengths and weights of metacarpals and metatarsals were measured in two collections of baboon skeletons-33 animals, all born and raised in the wild, and 60 animals, nearly all born and raised in captivity. For both length and weight, ratios were constructed for all possible pairings of the five bones in each individual hand and foot. The pattern of results was not identical for the two coll...
