Aseptic Production vs. Terminal Sterilization

2000

The safety of substance use in intraocular surgery ideally requires the absence of all biologically-active components capable of causing an inflammatory reaction. Substance purity is achieved with isolation and cleansing methods (e.g., of the polysaccharide), which remove any biological component with infective potential. The methods of production for polysaccharide isolation should remove biological agents, regardless of its origin. Hyaluronic acid is isolated either from rooster combs or biological fermentation. Use of this substance showed the development of postoperative intraocular inflammatory reactions resulting from contaminations from both sources. OVD should have low endotoxin val…

Aseptikas un antiseptikas ievērošana māsu praksē operāciju blokā

2020

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Aseptikas un antiseptikas ievērošana māsu praksē operāciju blokā”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka fakts, ka operācija nav iedomājamas bez aseptikas un antiseptikas pielietošanas, līdz ar to, ņemot vērā, ka infekcijas risks joprojām ir nopietna problēma Latvijas un Pasaules medicīnā, ir jāturpina pievērst uzmanību un jāanalizē aseptikas un antiseptikas pielietošana māsu praksē operāciju blokā. Katra operācija ir risks infekcijas attīstībai, līdz ar to draudi pacienta veselības stāvokļa pasliktināšanai. Lai nodrošinātu pacientam tīru un drošu apkārtējo vidi operācijas laikā, jāatklāj un jānovērš apstākļi, kas veicina mikroorganismu augšanu un izplatīšanos. To var panākt iev…

Klinische Manifestation der Lyme-Borreliose im Kindesalter

1989

We report on 4 children with different clinical manifestations of Lyme-Borreliosis. One patient presented with a stage 2 typical aseptic meningitis and 2 others with symptoms of Schonlein-Henoch purpura and rheumatic disease respectively. A further case had bilateral palsy of abducens nerve and unilateral palsy of trochlearis nerve which are described for the first time in Lyme-Borreliosis. Diagnosis was established by detection of specific antibodies to Borrelia in all patients. Differential diagnosis of these symptoms should include Lyme-Borreliosis.

Meningitis bei 154 Kindern einer Kinderklinik in Deutschland: Klinische und epidemiologische Aspekte

1992

In a retrospective study, the histories of the non-neonates treated for primary meningitis in the Pediatric Department of Mainz University Hospital between 1986 and 1989 were analyzed with regard to etiological, diagnostic, clinical and epidemiological criteria. In the period studied there were 37 cases of infectious meningitis (11 Neisseria meningitidis (29.7%), 7 H. influenzae (18.9%), 3 S. pneumoniae (8.1%), 16 other (43.2%)), and 117 cases of acute aseptic meningitis syndrome (12 mumps virus (10.3%), 3 Borrelia burgdorferi (7.7%), 3 FSME (2.6%), 2 herpes simplex virus, 91 other (77.8%)). Sixty-six percent of the patients were male. Of the infants with infectious meningitis, 68% were und…

Mechanisms of Disease: molecular insights into aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants

2007

Despite the success of treating rheumatic disorders with biologic therapies, joint replacement surgery still remains the final treatment option in many cases. Approximately 1.5 million joint arthroplastic operations are performed annually worldwide. Implant failure due to massive bone loss and aseptic loosening of prostheses, however, is a major complication of joint replacement, which can lead to high socioeconomic burdens both for the individual patient and for health-care systems. To date, there is no approved drug therapy to prevent or inhibit periprosthetic osteolysis, and aseptic loosening of prostheses can only be overcome by surgical revision. Research during the past decade, howeve…

Coxsackievirus B (CVB) enteroviruses are common human pathogens known to cause severe diseases including myocarditis, chronic dilated cardiomyopathy, and aseptic meningitis. CVBs are also hypothesized to be a causal factor in type 1 diabetes. Vaccines against CVBs are not currently available, and here we describe the generation and preclinical testing of a novel hexavalent vaccine targeting the six known CVB serotypes. We show that the vaccine has an excellent safety profile in murine models and nonhuman primates and that it induces strong neutralizing antibody responses to the six serotypes in both species without an adjuvant. We also demonstrate that the vaccine provides immunity against …

Uso del tonometro e rischio infettivo ; valutazione dell'efficacia di differenziali tipi di disinfettanti.

2006

Obiettivo: valutare e confrontare l’efficacia dei più comuni tipi di disinfettanti per la disinfezione dei coni tonometrici e trarre alcune indicazioni sulla applicabilità alla realtà clinico-diagnostica in campo oftalmologico. Materiali e metodi: coni tonometrici monouso sterili, previamente contaminati con ceppi standard di Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Candida albicans sono stati testati, dopo semplice detersione o disinfezione con acqua ossigenata al 3%, benzalconio cloruro allo 0.5%, Minuten wipes (Alpro® ), Pantasept® allo 0.5% secondo le linee guida del CDC di Atlanta. Risultati: la semplice detersione è stata inefficace contro tutte le specie tes…

Towards Laser-Textured Antibacterial Surfaces

2018

AbstractEscherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacterial retention on mirror-polished and ultrashort pulse laser-textured surfaces is quantified with a new approach based on ISO standards for measurement of antibacterial performance. It is shown that both wettability and surface morphology influence antibacterial behavior, with neither superhydrophobicity nor low surface roughness alone sufficient for reducing initial retention of either tested cell type. Surface structures comprising spikes, laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and nano-pillars are produced with 1030 nm wavelength 350 fs laser pulses of energy 19.1 μJ, 1.01 μJ and 1.46 μJ, respectively. SEM analysis, optic…

Partition function of the trigonometric SOS model with reflecting end

2010

We compute the partition function of the trigonometric SOS model with one reflecting end and domain wall type boundary conditions. We show that in this case, instead of a sum of determinants obtained by Rosengren for the SOS model on a square lattice without reflection, the partition function can be represented as a single Izergin determinant. This result is crucial for the study of the Bethe vectors of the spin chains with non-diagonal boundary terms.
