Abstract:
Freelance healthcare journalist, Al Beah, considers the successful development, evolution, and expanding use in NHS hospitals, of the KwickScreen portable room divider, one of the products designed as part of the Department of Health's HCAI (Healthcare-Associated Infection) Technology Innovation programme, which was established in 2008 to speed up the development and adoption of technologies to help combat HCAIs such as MRSA and C. difficile. As he reports, the system is now not only being deployed to combat infection in hospitals and healthcare facilities both in the UK and overseas, but also for a wide variety of other uses.

02:46Genetic Screens
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...

01:07Multiple Bar Graph
As the name suggests, a multiple bar graph is the same as a bar graph but has multiple bars to depict relationships between different data values. One can include as many parameters as possible. However, each parameter must have the same unit of measurement.
Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...
