Abstract: BACKGROUND Transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms by duodenoscopes during ERCP is problematical. The FDA recently recommended transitioning away from reusable fixed endcap duodenoscopes to those with innovative device designs that make reprocessing easier, more effective,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19052512
Abstract: Identifying infection transmission routes in hospitals may prevent the spread of respiratory viruses and mass infections. Most previous related research focused on the air movement of passive tracers, which typically represent breathing. In this study,… read more here.
