Prevalence of Community-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in High School Wrestling Environments
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) was predominantly a hospital-acquired organism; recently, however, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) has been causing outbreaks in otherwise healthy individuals involved in athletics. As such, CA-MRSA is of emerging concern to sanitarians and public health officials. Secondary school athletic trainers and student athletes may be at elevated ...

Sublethal propoxur toxicity to juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758): Biochemical, hematological, histopathological, and genotoxicity effects
The sublethal toxicological and genotoxic potential of propoxur, a widely used carbamate insecticide against household pests, in veterinary medicine, and in public health, was evaluated on carp as a model species (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) using the erythrocyte micronucleus test. Based on the 96‐h lethal concentration, 50% (LC50) data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ECOTOX Database ...

Assessment of Athletic Health Care Facility Surfaces for MRSA in the Secondary School Setting
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was once largely a hospital-acquired infection, but increasingly, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) is causing outbreaks among otherwise healthy people in athletic settings. Secondary school athletic trainers, student athletes, and the general student population may be at elevated risk of MRSA infection. To identify the prevalence of MRSA on ...

Noninvasive, Transthoracic, Low-Frequency Ultrasound Augments Thrombolysis in a Canine Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background - Limitations of coronary thrombolysis include the time to reperfusion, patency rate, and bleeding. We evaluated the use of noninvasive transcutaneous ultrasound to augment coronary thrombolysis. Methods and Results - In 24 dogs, a thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery was induced and documented by 12-lead ECG and coronary angiography. After $60 minutes ...

What Are the Main Ingredients of Cosmetics?
The composition of cosmetics is very complex and varies with different types. Most cosmetics are processed from the cosmetic matrix (base) plus some other necessary ingredients (additives). Cosmetic substrates are the basic raw materials of cosmetics. They are mainly oily raw materials, including oils, waxes, hydrocarbons, and higher fatty acids and higher alcohols that make up these ...

Applications of 16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

Inorganic elements in green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas): Relationships among external and internal tissues
Inorganic elements from anthropogenic sources have entered marine environments worldwide and are detectable in marine organisms, including sea turtles. Threatened and endangered classifications of sea turtles have heretofore made assessments of contaminant concentrations difficult due to regulatory restrictions on obtaining samples using non‐lethal techniques. In the present study, claw and ...

Multifunctional Black Bioactive Ceramic Material Developed Recently
Bioceramic materials have a long history of being used to repair human hard tissues, from biologically inert materials (such as alumina and zirconia, etc.) to biological materials that are both biologically active and degradable (such as phosphate and silicate bioceramics, silicon Based bio-glass, etc.), its physiological function is no longer a simple tissue filling substitute, but a tissue ...

Administration of Lactobacillus fermentum KBL375 Causes Taxonomic and Functional Changes in Gut Microbiota Leading to Improvement of Atopic Dermatitis
Abstract Gut microbiota play an important role in immune responses and energy metabolism. In this study, we evaluated whether administration of Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) KBL375 isolated from healthy Korean feces improves the atopic dermatitis using the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Administration of L. fermentum KBL375 ...

A Natural Polysaccharide-based Bioadhesive for Wound Repair Found
Hundreds of millions of people suffer skin tissue damage every year, including accidental injury, surgical injury, chronic ulcer, etc., and severe cases may lead to amputation or even life-threatening. Suturing is currently the preferred method for clinically closing wounds. However, wound suturing takes a long time during the operation, and removing the stitches will cause secondary damage to ...

Where can I Buy a Suture Removal Kit?
Sutures are used when the wound is deep and cracking. For example, if you can see the fat in your cut, you should have stitches. If you were to just cover the wound with a bandage, it would just pull the top portion of the tissue together, leaving the tissue underneath still separate. And The small gap could become a breeding ground for infection. Suturing means that you get all the layers of ...

6 Tips for Avoiding Pressure Ulcers in Healthcare Facilities
A silent but serious condition is impacting healthcare facilities around the world, taking a serious toll not only on patient safety but hospital revenue and operating costs, too. Although it’s not contagious, this condition afflicts 2.5 million patients each year, resulting in 60,000 deaths annually in the United States alone1. On top of that, it costs the U.S. health system an estimated ...
