Background: Luminal instruments are characterized by their slender internal lumens, which make them particularly challenging to clean and dry. A common drying method used by Sterile Processing Department (SPD) technicians involves blowing high-pressure air into one end of the lumen to expel moisture. However, this process generates a significant amount of aerosols that may contain bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms.

Dynamic Coupling and Disorder in Aggregation of Light-Harvesting Complex II in Plant Thylakoid Membranes.

The dynamics of the aggregated light-harvesting complex (LHCII) associated with its antenna pigments can be crucial for a transition between light-harvesting and dissipative states, which is pivotal for nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ). To this end, aggregation of pigment-binding LHCII monomers and PsbS-associated trimers in neutral and low lumenal pH respectively, has been investigated when embedded in the plant thylakoid membranes, using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. Both pigment-binding LHCII monomers and PsbS-associated trimers dynamically form and break dimers and higher-order aggregates in thylakoids within the simulation time.

We report a rare case in which the inflation lumen at the tip of an endotracheal tube (ETT) was open, leading to intraoperative air leakage and cuff deflation. A patient with Down syndrome undergoing planned dental treatment under general anesthesia was induced and nasally intubated with a cuffed ETT that was then inflated with 5 mL of air. Soon thereafter, it was noted that the pilot balloon was deflated and filled with water droplets.

Hepcidin is the key hyposideremic hormone produced primarily by the liver. However, recent reports reveal extra-hepatic functional sources of hepcidin, including the intestine, the site of dietary iron absorption. To determine whether intestinal hepcidin may play a role in plasma iron lowering, we generated transgenic mice overexpressing the peptide specifically in this tissue.
