  Healthcare Fabrics Infection Control in Healthcare Settings One of the biggest concerns in any healthcare setting is preventing the spread of infections from one patient to another. Fabrics used in hospitals, nursing homes, doctor's offices and other medical facilities must have antimicrobial properties to inhibit bacterial and viral growth. Many healthcare fabrics are treated with chemicals or embedded with silver fibers that kill microbes and make the surfaces resistant to pathogens. Upholstery, curtains and privacy screens are commonly made from materials like polyester or cotton that are infused with antimicrobial technology. Fabrics treated this way can significantly reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients. Comfort and Mobility Patients spending long periods of time in medical settings require fabrics that provide comfort. Sheets, gowns, slippers and blankets should feel soft against the skin without being too warm or bulky. Many Healthcare Fabrics facil...

  Aesthetic Injectables Types of Aesthetic Injectables Botulinum Toxin Injections One of the most popular beauty injectables used worldwide is botulinum toxin, commonly known by the brand name Botox. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small doses, it blocks the communication from nerves to muscles, causing muscles to relax. This temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions or sun damage. Some of the most common areas treated with botulinum toxin injections are the forehead, frown lines or crow's feet around the eyes. A single botox treatment typically lasts 3-4 months. Dermal Fillers Dermal fillers are injections used to fill in wrinkles, thin lips, scar ridges and hollow cheeks or jawline. The most commonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar found in the human body. Hyaluronic acid injections work by stimulating collagen production o...

  Chagas Disease Treatment Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a tropical parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Let's take a look at the various treatment options available for Chagas disease. Drug Therapy Currently, there are two drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating Chagas disease—Benznidazole and Nifurtimox. Both drugs have been shown to cure the infection in 60-85% of cases if treatment is provided early after initial infection. However, their effectiveness diminishes with time after infection. Benznidazole was approved by the FDA in 2017 for treating Chagas disease in patients of all ages. The recommended dosage is 5-10 mg/kg per day, divided into two doses, for 60 days. Common side effects include rashes, appetite or weight loss, nausea, and fatigue. Rare but serious side effects can include peripheral neuropathy and allergic reactions. Nifurtimox has been used to treat Chagas Disease Tre...

  Veterinary Blood Glucose What is Blood Glucose? Blood glucose, also known as blood sugar, refers to the main sugar circulated in the bloodstream and transported throughout the body. It is the primary source of energy for all cells that require fuel to function, especially the brain, muscles, and organs. Blood glucose is monitored and regulated by several hormones, including insulin. In pets, just as in humans, maintaining healthy blood glucose levels is essential for overall wellness. Causes of High and Low Blood Glucose Some common causes of abnormal Veterinary Blood Glucose levels in pets include: Diabetes Mellitus One of the leading causes of high blood glucose is diabetes mellitus. With this condition, the body either does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not properly respond to insulin. Insulin is needed to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy. Without enough insulin, blood glucose levels rise. Pancreatitis Inflammation of the pa...

  Plastic Bandages Origins of Adhesive Bandage Adhesive Bandage were patented in 1921 by Dr. Richard Earle Swift. However, the development of modern Adhesive Bandage really took off after World War II. Battlefield medics were dealing with many bloody wounds and needed improved first aid dressings. Several companies began developing new types of adhesive bandages that could stick securely to skin but not stick to themselves in packaging or transportation. These early Adhesive Bandage helped medics treat wounds more effectively on battlefields across Europe and the Pacific. By the 1950s, Adhesive Bandage were commonly available for consumer use as well. Major brands like Band-Aid helped popularize their use in homes for minor cuts and scrapes. Over the decades since, Adhesive Bandage technology has advanced but their core purpose of providing a simple, flexible covering for wounds remains the same. Materials Used in Plastic Bandages Most Plastic Bandages consist of three key com...

   Healthcare Middleware What is Healthcare Middleware? Healthcare middle is software that connects different clinical, financial and administrative systems across hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other parts of the healthcare system. It allows for the smooth sharing of data between various applications, devices and systems. Without middleware, these disparate systems would have trouble communicating with each other. The Key Functions of Healthcare Middle Healthcare middleware serves several critical functions for healthcare organizations: Data Integration One of the primary roles of Healthcare Middleware is to take information from one source and integrate it into other systems in a standardized format. This allows things like lab results, patient demographics, insurance information and more to flow between the electronic health record system, revenue cycle applications, imaging platforms and other core clinical and business software.

  Sample Preparation Importance of Proper Sample Collection and Handling One of the most important steps in the analytical process is ensuring that samples are properly collected, handled, and prepared before being analyzed in the lab. How a sample is collected and stored can significantly impact the reliability and reproducibility of results. Contamination or degradation of samples must be avoided during transportation and storage. Samples need to be representative of the material or substance being tested and protocols need to be followed to maintain sample integrity from point of origin to analytical measurement. Improper sampling techniques can lead to wasted time, effort and resources if analysis needs to be redone due to compromised samples. Sample Preparation Techniques There are a variety of techniques used for Sample Preparation depending on the type of material and desired analysis. Some common preparation methods include: Drying - Remove moisture from samples pr...
