Patient engagement with surgical site infection prevention: an expert panel perspective.

Antimicrobial resistance and infection control

Tartari E, Weterings V, Gastmeier P, Rodríguez Baño J, Widmer A, Kluytmans J, Voss A.
PMID: 28507731
Antimicrob Resist Infect Control. 2017 May 12;6:45. doi: 10.1186/s13756-017-0202-3. eCollection 2017.

Despite remarkable developments in the use of surgical techniques, ergonomic advancements in the operating room, and implementation of bundles, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a substantial burden, associated with increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs. National and international recommendations...

Of means and ends: The financialization and regulation of health care.

The Linacre quarterly

Widmer A.
PMID: 28392588
Linacre Q. 2016 Nov;83(4):382-386. doi: 10.1080/00243639.2016.1248168.

Health care is at a critical stage: doctors and patients, the central protagonists in this field, are less and less satisfied with the outcomes. Much of the debate about health care has focused on the choice between large public...

An Academic Healthcare Twitter Account: The Mayo Clinic Experience.

Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking

Widmer RJ, Engler NB, Geske JB, Klarich KW, Timimi FK.
PMID: 27327062
Cyberpsychol Behav Soc Netw. 2016 Jun;19(6):360-6. doi: 10.1089/cyber.2015.0607.

With more than 300 million monthly active users, Twitter is a powerful social media tool in healthcare, yet the characterization of an academic healthcare Twitter account remains poor to date. We assessed basic gender and geographic data on the...

Early brain injury linearly correlates with reduction in cerebral perfusion pressure during the hyperacute phase of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Intensive care medicine experimental

Marbacher S, Neuschmelting V, Andereggen L, Widmer HR, von Gunten M, Takala J, Jakob SM, Fandino J.
PMID: 26266927
Intensive Care Med Exp. 2014 Dec;2(1):30. doi: 10.1186/s40635-014-0030-1. Epub 2014 Nov 30.

BACKGROUND: It is unclear how complex pathophysiological mechanisms that result in early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are triggered. We investigate how peak intracranial pressure (ICP), amount of subarachnoid blood, and hyperacute depletion of cerebral perfusion pressure...

Use of enzymes in peptide synthesis.

Applied biochemistry and biotechnology

Chaiken IM, Komoriya A, Ohno M, Widmer F.
PMID: 24234364
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 1982 Sep;7(5):385-99. doi: 10.1007/BF02798320.

Recent experiments in several laboratories have emphasized the benefits of proteolytic enzymes as effective catalysts for the formation of peptide bonds for synthesis and semisynthesis. This review summarizes successful applications in both stepwise synthesis for small peptides and fragment...

International collaboration: promises and challenges.

Rambam Maimonides medical journal

Widmer RJ, Widmer JM, Lerman A.
PMID: 25973264
Rambam Maimonides Med J. 2015 Apr 29;6(2):e0012. doi: 10.5041/RMMJ.10196. eCollection 2015 Apr.

We currently face a myriad of grand global challenges in fields such as poverty, the environment, education, science, and medicine. However, our current means of dealing with such challenges has fallen short, and ingenious solutions are required to overcome...

Histological Comparison of Fibrous Root Infection of Disease-Tolerant and Susceptible Citrus Hosts by Phytophthora nicotianae and P. palmivora.

Phytopathology

Widmer TL, Graham JH, Mitchell DJ.
PMID: 18944916
Phytopathology. 1998 May;88(5):389-95. doi: 10.1094/PHYTO.1998.88.5.389.

ABSTRACT Phytophthora nicotianae and P. palmivora infect and cause rot of fibrous roots of susceptible and tolerant citrus rootstocks in Florida orchards. The infection and colonization by the two Phytophthora spp. of a susceptible citrus host, sour orange (Citrus...

Interactions between animal cells and gas bubbles: The influence of serum and pluronic F68 on the physical properties of the bubble surface.

Biotechnology and bioengineering

Jordan M, Eppenberger HM, Sucker H, Widmer F, Einsele A.

Biotechnol Bioeng. 1994 Mar 15;43(6):446-54. doi: 10.1002/bit.260430603.

We describe a method by which the degree of bubble saturation can be determined by measuring the velocity of single bubbles at different heights from the bubble source in pure water containing increasing concentrations of surfactants. The highest rising...

We have analysed by micrococcus nuclease digestion the chromatin structure of genes in the Balbiani ring (BR) regions of a Chironomus cell line. Gel electrophoresis of the DNA fragments reveals a repeating structure which consists of two repeat sizes,...

Nonlinear spectroscopic theory of displaced harmonic oscillators with differing curvatures: a correlation function approach.
