Article Abstract

This article comments on the article by Du , who conducted a randomized controlled trial aiming at evaluating the effectiveness of a novel spray flushing system in cleaning flexible endoscopes while minimizing damage to the working channels. We share our perspective on the importance of improving endoscope reprocessing methods. The findings highlight the spray flushing system's capacity to improve cleaning efficacy while minimizing damage, suggesting that it might be important in enhancing endoscope reprocessing procedures.

Background: Toilet flushing has been reported to result in pathogen contamination of restroom fomites and air. The goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an air sanitizing spray on reducing cross-contamination of restroom fomites and air after toilet flushing.

Methods: Bacteriophage MS2 was added to toilet bowl water, then flushed, and cross-contamination of restroom fomites and air was determined.

The advancement in endoscopic technology and techniques has increased its use in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Reprocessing of reusable endoscopes remains a challenge. Inadequate reprocessing leads to bacterial contamination of the endoscope, a significant cause of endoscope-related infections.

Pesticide-fertilizer synergistic alginate-based hydrogel for enhanced pesticide retention and nutrient optimization against apple Valsa canker.

Int J Biol Macromol

The prevalence of apple Valsa canker (AVC) poses a significant threat to the vitality of apple trees, jeopardizing the progress of the apple industry. Current strategies have proven inadequate in managing the disease effectively due to challenges such as extended duration and frequent relapses, especially low-adhesion vertical target. Herein, we introduce a pesticide-fertilizer synergistic alginate-based hydrogel (P&F-Gel) to enhance long-term pesticide retention and offer nutrient supplementation without labor-intensive practices.
