summary:
  The cleanliness of medical equipment such as a portable ultrasound machines, patient care surfaces, and environment surfaces are all included; thus, an impeccably clean environment is a shared goal between environmental services workers and vascular access professionals. Transmission can result from contact with either contaminated hands or environment surfaces, and also a patient's own skin flora.

  Potential of combating transmission of COVID-19 using novel self-cleaning superhydrophobic surfaces: part II—thermal, chemical, and mechanical durability

summary:
  Superhydrophobic surfaces have recently gained popularity in the biomedical sector due to their ability to possess blood repellency characteristics and reduce bacterial/viral adhesion to surfaces and their antifouling properties (Falde et al. 2016; Shin et al. 2016; Mechanical wear is considered one of the main performance degradation mechanisms of superhydrophobic surfaces (Milionis et al. 2016) .

  Preliminary experimental analysis of the surface topography formation during laser polishing H13 tooling steel using statistical characteristics of the surface amplitude distribution

summary:
  In addition to these two components, LP surface incorporates two distinct classes of surface structures: i) ripples and undercuts produced by the dynamics of the melt/solidification front, and ii) bulges, step structures, and martensite needles produced by plastic deformation and changes in the microstructure. This technical cybernetic description allows modelling and understanding LP process as a linear thermodynamic system transforming statistical characteristics of initial into LP surface (e.g. probability density functions F(x)) and laser beam interactions with flat solid body and non-uniform initial surface.

summary:
  As observed for a large number of respiratory viruses, airborne transmission and fomite transmission are thought to play important roles in the epidemiology of these viruses (1) . Mixing of highly concentrated inocula with respiratory mucus increased the infectiousness of influenza viruses, allowing its transmission for up to 17 days (18) and thus confirming the protective role of human mucus for the survival of respiratory viruses previously shown by Parker et al (19) .

summary:
  Because of the label-free detection principle of cantilever sensors, their small size and scalability, this kind of device is advantageous for diagnostic applications and disease monitoring, as well as for genomics or proteomics purposes. The use of microcantilever arrays enables detection of several analytes simultaneously and solves the inherent problem of thermal drift often present when using single microcantilever sensors, as some of the cantilevers can be used as sensor cantilevers for detection, and other cantilevers serve as passivated reference cantilevers that do not exhibit affinity to the molecules to be detected.

  67 Plaque assays involve culturing cells that are susceptible to virus infection in a titration of the collected virus samples, monitoring the cytopathic effects, and counting plaque forming units (PFU). The long persistence of viruses (hours to days) on surfaces calls for an urgent need for surface disinfection strategies to intercept virus transmission and the spread of the disease.

  Role of the Microbial Burden in the Acquisition and Control of Healthcare Associated Infections: The Utility of Solid Copper Surfaces

summary:
  The complexity and dynamic nature of the microbial pressure being introduced into the built clinical environment is dependent on stochastic nature inherent to healthcare The purpose of this chapter is to review the role of the environment of care as it pertains to microbial contamination and risk of HAI to patients as well as describe the novel use and efficacy of antimicrobial copper surfaces in mitigating this risk. Although the relative infection rate in the medical ICUs where the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial copper surfaces were evaluated is generally higher than hospitals at large, patients in ICUs are typically not mobile, and their interaction with the built environment is very limited.

summary:
  Applications include both thin-film and bulk x-ray microanalysis and examples of contrast in backscattered electron images obtained in the SEM. The effects of adjusting the Wehnelt-to-tip distance vary for different electron microscope systems.
