INFECTION PREVENTION PRACTICES AND ITS ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG HOSPITAL WORKERS IN A NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER DESIGNATED FOR COVID-19 IN TOKYO, JAPAN.

Infection prevention practices and its associated factors among hospital workers in a national medical center designated for COVID-19 in Tokyo, Japan.

BackgroundWhile healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus transmission involving them might be exceeding in the non-occupational settings.This study examined the extent of adherence to infection prevention practices (IPPs) against COVID-19 in their daily life and its associated factors among s

A comparison of individual-level vs. hypothetically pooled mercury biomonitoring data from the Maternal Organics Monitoring Study (MOMS), Alaska, 1999-2012

Biomonitoring for heavy metals is important to assess health risks, especially laguna 3hp dust collector in Arctic communities where rural residents rely on locally harvested foods.However, laboratory testing for blood contaminants is expensive and might not be sustainable for long-term monitoring.We assessed whether pooled specimen biomonitoring c

The supersymmetric Georgi-Machacek model

Abstract We show that the well known whole wheat phyllo dough Georgi-Machacek (GM) model can be realized as a limit of the recently constructed Supersymmetric Custodial Higgs Triplet Model (SCTM) which in general contains a significantly more complex scalar spectrum.We dub this limit of the SCTM, which gives a weakly coupled origin for the GM model
