A new study in the journal PLOS ONE entitled A quasi-experimental study on stethoscopes contamination with multidrug-resistant bacteria: Its role as a vehicle of transmission found low levels of stethoscope hygiene education and practice among clinicians and no significant reduction in levels of stethoscope contamination, including nosocomial pathogens and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, despite educational intervention (consisting of flyers and 2 separate one-hour slide presentations). In this study involving 98 clinicians in a university-affiliated teaching hospital in Seoul, South Korea, self-reported stethoscope cleaning with alcohol swabs/gel or soap and water, increased after educational interventions for every patient from 10% to 20% and from 21% to 34% for at least once per week, while those reporting cleaning on occasion fell from 51% to 40.8% and not at all from 18% to 4.1%. Despite the overall self-reported increase in hygiene practices, con ....

Forest Devices publishes positive results from study of its AlphaStroke technology Feb 25 2021 Medical technology pioneer Forest Devices, Inc. (FDI) today announced the publication of positive results from the EDGAR study of its AlphaStroke™ technology in identifying patients with large vessel occlusive (LVO) strokes in emergency departments in the American Heart Association Journal, STROKE. LVOs are the type of ischemic stroke that require an interventional thrombectomy, only available at highly specialized hospitals, and every minute of treatment delay increases the risk of death and permanent disability. The study showed that, compared to the clinical exams currently used by medics in the field to make triage decisions, AlphaStroke was 28% - 40% superior at correctly identifying patients with LVO, and equally good as the clinical exams, at correctly ruling out patients with non-LVO diagnoses. ....
