"This study is a testament to the unexpected connections between plant biology and microbiology." Scientists make astonishing ...

Catheter coating plays vital role in catheterization. It offers a reduction in friction and decreases incidences of urinary tract infections & prevents biofilm formation. The report provides a ...

Approximately 80% of urinary tract infections in LTCFs are due to the short- or long-term insertion of a urinary catheter. Biofilm development on the inner and outer catheter surfaces can take ...

However, successful clot aspiration is not guaranteed in every ADAPT procedure. We have observed that when the catheter effectively ingested the clot, the catheter tip displayed a distinct fluttering ...

The antibacterial effects of Str/MOLe@ZnONPs, Str/ZnONPs, and MOLe@ZnONPs were evaluated against E. faecalis isolates with high antimicrobial resistance profiles (PDR[isolate code 21], and XDR ...

"A ship covered with a thin biofilm may experience up to an 80% ... "In smaller geometries, such as in medical devices like stents or catheters, the streamers can lead to rapid clogging." ...

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). This ...

Bacteria detect when nearby cells are dying and proactively form a protective biofilm. Understanding how bacteria communicate and respond to threats is crucial for combating infections.
