Introduction Surgical site infections (SSIs) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are serious complications that can arise following arthroplasty. Infection remains the leading cause of revision surgeries, and with the increasing number of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures year over year, effective infection control has never been more critical.1,2 One solution to reducing the risk ...
What is Water Treatment? Water treatment is the process of making contaminated and impure water suitable for drinking, industrial use, irrigation, or other purposes. It involves eliminating harmful impurities like bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and pollutants and improving the quality of water. Based on the source of water and purpose of treatment, it involves filtration, disinfection, and ...
Every time you turn on your tap, you expect clean, safe water, but you can’t see how it affects you. With 2 billion people worldwide lacking access to safely managed drinking water, understanding the various types of water contaminants has never been more critical for protecting public health. The Safe Drinking Water Act defines the term “contaminant” as meaning any physical, ...
Water quality is needed for agriculture, livestock, food-processes, and municipal activities. Otherwise, contaminated waters can cause severe crises to health, significant losses in economics, and even, to some extent, closure from regulations. Rapid microbial testing, thus, was brought into being, offering water safety protocols with fast, reliable, and accurate microbial ...
