Hand decontamination.

Abstract

Hand decontamination is the most effective, and certainly the most cost-effective, method of preventing health-related infection (HRI). However, research has shown that health professionals, including nurses, do not decontaminate hands as often as they should. It has become apparent that hand decontamination does not always follow those activities which will probably result in the most heavy soiling, and the technique used to decontaminate hands is often poor.

Ethanol treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: high potentials of low concentrations.

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, which is associated with a very poor prognosis. A curative treatment is difficult to achieve and is only possible in a low number of patients. Therefore, many different therapeutic strategies have been developed as alternative treatment. Among these, percutaneous injection of high concentrations of ethanol (>50 mM) has been proven to be effective for the treatment of small HCC (less than 3 cm in diameter). However, the principal problem with using ethanol is its toxic effects on non-tumor cells adjacent to the tumor area. The objective of this review is to juxtapose the therapeutic potential of high and low concentrations of ethanol in the treatment of HCC, based on experimental studies obtained with the human hepatocellular tumor cell line (HepG2). They have shown that high concentrations of ethanol lead to necrosis, while low concentrations induce apoptosis due to activation of Fas-receptors. Triggering of apoptosis through Fas-receptors represents a mechanism of action different from that observed with high concentrations of ethanol, thus, reducing the complications that follow the inflammatory process due to necrosis. Therefore, the use of low concentrations of ethanol could be an effective treatment for HCC.

Whither triclosan?

Triclosan has activity against many, but not all, types of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is bacteriostatic at low concentrations, but higher concentrations are bactericidal. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is highly resistant, whereas methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains are inhibited over a range of approximately 0.1-2 mg/L. Triclosan shows significant activity against some mycobacteria, but is not sporicidal. Its growth-inhibitory properties result from an inhibition of enoyl reductase, FabI. Membrane-destabilizing effects are likely to be responsible for bacterial inactivation by higher concentrations. Resistance can arise from mutations in, and/or overproduction of, FabI, impermeability or efflux. Whilst triclosan resistance in laboratory experiments may be associated with changes in antibiotic susceptibility, comprehensive environmental surveys have not demonstrated any association between triclosan usage and antibiotic resistance. Triclosan has several important uses, and the future aim must be to retain these applications whilst eliminating the more frivolous and unnecessary ones.

Prevention of intravascular catheter-related infection with newer chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine-coated catheters: a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: The indication of antiseptic-coated catheters remains debated. OBJECTIVE: To test the ability of the new generation of chlorhexidine-silver and sulfadiazine-coated catheters, with enhanced antiseptic coating, to reduce the risk of central venous catheter (CVC)-related infection in ICU patients. DESIGN: Multicentre randomized double-blind trial. PATIENTS AND SETTING: A total of 397 patients from 14 ICUs of university hospitals in France. INTERVENTION: Patients were randomized to receive an antiseptic-coated catheter (ACC) or a standard non-coated catheter (NCC). MEASUREMENTS: Incidence of CVC-related infection. RESULTS: Of 367 patients having a successful catheter insertion, 363 were analysed (175 NCC and 188 ACC). Patients had one (NCC=162, ACC=180) or more (NCC=13, ACC=11) CVC inserted. The two groups were similar for insertion site [subclavian (64 vs 69)] or jugular (36 vs 31%)], and type of catheters (single-lumen 18 vs 18%; double-lumen 82 vs 82%), and mean (median) duration of catheterisation [12.0+/-11.7 (9) vs 10.5+/-8.8 (8) days in the NCC and ACC groups, respectively]. Significant colonisation of the catheter occurred in 23 (13.1%) and 7 (3.7%) patients, respectively, in the NCC and ACC groups (11 vs 3.6 per 1000 catheter-days; p=0.01); CVC-related infection (bloodstream infection) occurred in 10 (5) and 4 (3) patients in the NCC and CC groups, respectively (5.2 vs 2 per 1000 catheter days; p=0.10). CONCLUSIONS: In the context of a low baseline infection rate, ACC were associated with a significant reduction of catheter colonisation and a trend to reduction of infection episodes, but not of bloodstream infection.
