Abstract
Handwashing is thought to be effective for the prevention of transmission of diarrhoea pathogens. However it is not conclusive that handwashing with soap is more effective at reducing contamination with bacteria associated with diarrhoea than using water only. In this study 20 volunteers contaminated...

Abstract
We developed two cross-sectional studies on 15 hospital units. The outcome variable was complied HH with proper technique and the exposures variables were care factors (unit, professional group, etc) and other factors related with the HH campaign (training on hand washing).

Abstract
Numerous disinfection products are widely used in daily life to kill pathogenic microorganisms. However, most disinfectants are organic compounds that might be hazardous to the environment and humans when used excessively. Phenolic disinfectants in disinfection products are investigated using a high...

Abstract
We have shown that a free-flowing soap film has sufficiently high-quality optical properties to allow it to be used in the cavity of a ring-down spectrometer (CRDS). The flow rates required to maintain a stable soap film were similar to those used in liquid chromatography and thus allowed interfacin...

Abstract
Triclosan (2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy-diphenyl ether) is an antibacterial compound that has been used in consumer products for about 40 years. The tolerability and safety of triclosan has been evaluated in human volunteers with little indication of toxicity or sensitization. Although information in...

Abstract
The health of a peri-implant tissue is a critical factor for the long-term success of treatment with extraoral implants. However, infection and inflammation may occur and lead to implant loss and prostheses failure. Therefore, some postsurgical care as hygiene with soap and water, soft toothbrush, a...

Abstract
Frequent handwashing is an excellent way to prevent the spread of illness during cold and flu season, although it often takes a heavy toll on the skin of the hands. A few simple strategies can help protect hands from the dryness and irritation that can result from repeated exposure to water, soap, a...

Abstract
We observed the greatest reduction in genomic copies of NV cDNA with the antibacterial liquid soap treatment (0.67 to 1.20 log(10) reduction) and water rinse only (0.58 to 1.58 log(10) reduction). The alcohol-based hand sanitizer was relatively ineffective, reducing the genomic copies of NV cDNA by...

We analyzed a total of 184 cultures (from 92 stethoscopes). Both the mean (28 prewash vs 3 post-wash, P=.001) and median (11 prewash vs 1 post-wash, P=.001) colony counts were significantly greater before being cleansed. Three methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonies were identifi...

Four infants were colonized and five infants were infected by S. marcescens. PFGE revealed that three different strains were present. Seven of the nine babies were infected by only one of these strains. This same strain was found in a nonantimicrobial soap bottle (NAS) that could be the source of co...

Antimicrobial hand soaps provide a greater bacterial reduction than nonantimicrobial soaps. However, the link between greater bacterial reduction and a reduction of disease has not been definitively demonstrated. Confounding factors, such as compliance, soap volume, and wash time, may all influence...

We have focused our interest on plant fatty acid amides (FAAs) and their overall cannabinomodulatory effects. Certain FAAs are also able to partially inhibit the action of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), which controls the breakdown of endocannabinoids. Intriguingly, plants lack CB receptors and...
