Gloves were examined by standardized visual and hydro-insufflation techniques to check for perforations. Glove quality was also noted. The type of procedure carried out, the number of perforations, the location of perforations, and the roles of the surgical team were all recorded along with other relevant information. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.Results: A total of 120 gloves were tested perforated, 69/100 for elective and 51/80 for emergency procedures. Perforations in emergency procedures were 57.5% ±0.44, while 42.5% ±0.52 in elective surgeries. Glove perforations were extremely common among first assistants (26.67%) and second assistants (9.17%) during emergency surgeries as well as among first surgeons (30%) and scrub nurses (11.67%) during elective procedures. Only 1.2% of inner glove perforations were recorded. The most commonly perforated parts of the glove were the left hand, the left index finger and the thumb. Residents had a lower rate of glove perforation than consultant surgeons.Conclusion: Calculated perforation rate is high, posing a clear threat to the surgical workforce. Preventive measures such as double gloving should be routinely adopted for all surgical procedures. Glove quality is also an important contributing element.","PeriodicalId":15254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Life Science","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83546263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NMs are categorized according to their composition, size, shape, and origin with sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nm.1 NMs are being widely investigated for their potential use in Nanomedicine, a multifaceted field where biological sciences intersect with nanoscience, nanoengineering and nanotechnology. \u0000Due to its adaptable platform and design, nanomedicine can be useful in many fields, either by employing a multimodal therapeutic strategy or by developing highly specialized multifunctional nanodevices for the clinical purpose at hand. Nanomedicine research covers a wide range of areas, including the development of vaccines, antibacterial agents, drugs, wearable devices, diagnostic and imaging tools, high-throughput screening platforms, implants, etc., using biological, hybrid, biomimetic, or non-biological materials. \u0000Nanomedicine has enabled many significant developments in both basic and translational research, particularly in cellular, preclinical, and clinical research. However, most of these developments have been in the area of cancer treatment and detection. Many of these developments are beginning to be translated into viable, commercially available clinical products. For example, in August 2020, a rapid optical sensor-based test for the detection of COVID-19 was developed by a group of researchers at the University of Georgia. \u0000Their test kit was based on an optical nanosensor based on silver nanotriangle arrays functionalized with the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein.2 Studies on functionalized (ligand) nanoparticles that interact with the epitopes of the virus, were shown to rendering it inactive and preventing it from entering cells.3 The lipid nanoparticle-based vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech using COVID -19 mRNA was approved by the UK authorities for emergency use in 2020, followed by Moderna's vaccines. Later, both Pfizer and Moderna were fully approved by the FDA. In addition, researchers involved in nanodevice manufacturing have turned their research interests to other ideas such as artificial organs and antibiotic resistance. \u0000Given its enormous potential, we believe that nanomedicine will eventually play a central role in all areas of medicine and enter clinics to become part of conventional clinical practice, provided that all aspects of implementation, including safety, regulatory, and ethical criteria, are met. Once this is the case, Nanomedicine should pave the way for the development of improved drugs and tools that can be used for the early detection and treatment of a wide range of diseases with high efficacy and specificity. This will ultimately improve the quality of life of patients. \u0000Although Nanomedicine offers exciting potential and opportunities to solve many medical problems, there are also cert","PeriodicalId":15254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Life Science","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84762795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ants can associate visual cues, numbers of elements, and odors with the time periods of their occurrence, and do so taking into account the characteristics of the elements. Humans should do so for ameliorating their daily life. For adding two numbers, the ants must see them with a time gap not exceeding 8 minutes. The ants discriminate recent and previously perceived events, locating the recent but not the old ones on a ‘time line’. Humans must learn to evaluate the passing time, to have a ‘time line’. The ants’ time perception is underestimated when they are more active. This is true for humans, and must be considered while working, playing or doing nothing (e.g., elderly persons). The ants can navigate using a learned (memorized) sequence of odors. Humans must learn sequences of cues for finding their way. The ants discriminate even and odd numbers until the number 7. Humans are sensitive to numbers’ parity, and this should freely impact their choice.
