Measuring Gene Flow in the Cultivation of Transgenic Barley.

Crop science

Ritala A, Nuutila AM, Aikasalo R, Kauppinen V, Tammisola J.
PMID: 11756286
Crop Sci. 2002 Jan;42(1):278-285. doi: 10.2135/cropsci2002.2780.

Genetic engineering is becoming a useful tool in the improvement of plants and plant-based raw materials. Varieties with value-added traits are developed for nonfood use in industrial and medical production, and different production lines must be kept separate. For...

Etiology and Outcome of Patients with HIV Infection and Respiratory Failure Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

Interdisciplinary perspectives on infectious diseases

Orsini J, Ahmad N, Butala A, Flores R, Tran T, Llosa A, Fishkin E.
PMID: 24065988
Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis. 2013;2013:732421. doi: 10.1155/2013/732421. Epub 2013 Aug 28.

Background. Although access to HAART has prolonged survival and improved quality of life, HIV-infected patients with severe immunosuppression or comorbidities may develop complications that require critical care support. Our objective is to evaluate the etiology of respiratory failure in...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) present with heterogeneous clinical features, including asymmetric parkinsonism, dyspraxia, aphasia, and cognitive impairment; to better understand the genetic etiology of this rare disease, we undertook a genetic analysis of microtubule-associated protein tau (METHODS:...

Microbial Assessment of Health Care-Associated Pathogens on Various Environmental Sites in Patient Rooms After Terminal Room Disinfection.

Open forum infectious diseases

Kanamori H, Rutala WA, Gergen MF, Sickbert-Bennett EE, Knelson LP, Anderson DJ, Sexton DJ, Weber DJ.
PMID: 33575427
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2021 Jan 04;8(2):ofab008. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofab008. eCollection 2021 Feb.

We examined the microbial burden on hospital room environmental sites after standard (quaternary ammonium [Quat]) or enhanced disinfection (quat/ultraviolet light [UV-C], bleach, or bleach/UV-C). An enhanced terminal room disinfection reduced the microbial burden of epidemiologically important pathogens on high-touch...

Disinfection and Sterilization in Health Care Facilities: An Overview and Current Issues.

Infectious disease clinics of North America

Rutala WA, Weber DJ.
PMID: 34362535
Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2021 Sep;35(3):575-607. doi: 10.1016/j.idc.2021.04.004.

All invasive procedures involve contact by a medical device or surgical instrument with a patient's sterile tissue or mucous membranes. The level of disinfection is dependent on the intended use of the object: critical, semicritical, or noncritical. New issues...

Impact of Oral Metronidazole, Vancomycin, and Fidaxomicin on Host Shedding and Environmental Contamination with Clostridioides difficile.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America

Turner NA, Warren BG, Gergen-Teague MF, Addison RM, Addison B, Rutala WA, Weber DJ, Sexton DJ, Anderson DJ.
PMID: 34017999
Clin Infect Dis. 2021 May 21; doi: 10.1093/cid/ciab473. Epub 2021 May 21.

OBJECTIVES: Shedding of Clostridioides difficile spores from infected individuals contaminates the hospital environment and contributes to infection transmission. We assessed whether antibiotic selection impacts C. difficile shedding and contamination of the hospital environment.METHODS: In this prospective, unblinded, randomized controlled...

Global Variability in Deep Brain Stimulation Practices for Parkinson's Disease.

Frontiers in human neuroscience

Mahajan A, Butala A, Okun MS, Mari Z, Mills KA.
PMID: 33867961
Front Hum Neurosci. 2021 Mar 31;15:667035. doi: 10.3389/fnhum.2021.667035. eCollection 2021.

INTRODUCTION: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a standard treatment option for select patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The selection process and surgical procedures employed have, to date, not been standardized.METHODS: A comprehensive 58-question web-based survey was developed with...

Transfer efficiency of an enveloped virus, human coronavirus 229E, from various hard surface fomites to finger pads of the hands.

Infection control and hospital epidemiology

Gerba CP, Leija BM, Ikner LA, Gundy P, Rutala WA.
PMID: 34612187
Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2021 Oct 06;1-3. doi: 10.1017/ice.2021.428. Epub 2021 Oct 06.

Respiratory viruses can be transmitted by fomite contact, but no data currently exist on the transfer of enveloped viruses. The transfer efficiency of human coronavirus from various hard surfaces ranged from 0.46% to 49.0%. This information can be used...
