Many irrigation ponds in Fukushima Prefecture were decontaminated due to the contamination of radiocesium released from Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. To evaluate impact decontamination on 137Cs dynamics an urban pond Koriyama City, Prefecture, Japan, temporal changes concentrations bottom sediments and water investigated before after bottom-sediment removal. Post-decontamination, inventories dec...

Meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials of selective digestive decontamination have clinical outcome measures, mainly pneumonia and mortality. This meta-analysis has a microbiological endpoint and explores the impact of selective digestive decontamination on Gram-negative and Gram-positive carriage and severe infections. We searched electronic databases, Cochrane Register of Controlled Tr...

The aim of this study was to develop a test system to evaluate the effectiveness of procedures for decontamination of respirators contaminated with viral droplets. MS2 coliphage was used as a surrogate for pathogenic viruses. A viral droplet test system was constructed, and the size distribution of viral droplets loaded directly onto respirators was characterized using an aerodynamic particle s...

AIM The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was to study the effect of implant surface decontamination with chlorhexidine (CHX)/cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on microbiological and clinical parameters. MATERIAL & METHODS Thirty patients (79 implants) with peri-implantitis were treated with resective surgical treatment consisting of apically re-positioned flap...

Procedures for total and selective gastrointestinal decontamination of dogs are described. The selective procedure removed only Gram negative aerobic bacteria, yeast and fungi. Dogs receiving total decontamination were less susceptible to the GI syndrome following total body irradiation (TBI) than dogs receiving conventional care. After TBI and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, serum albu...

BACKGROUND Guidance on the cleaning of dental instruments in primary care has recently been published. The aims of this study are to determine if the publication of the guidance document was enough to influence decontamination best practice and to design an implementation intervention strategy, should it be required. METHODS A postal questionnaire assessing current decontamination practice an...

network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. in networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. in this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. in mos...

nanocrystalline magnesium oxides were prepared by sol–gel method and were characterized by x-ray diffraction, n2-bet, sem and infrared spectroscopy techniques. the results confirmed the formation of nano- mgo materials with crystallite size in range of 5-20 nm and surface areas of 336-556m2/g. the product has been tested as destructive adsorbent for the decontamination of (2-chloroethyl) ethyl ...
