Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Cohesion

Cohesion

Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.
On a...

Lipid Digestion

Lipid Digestion

Lipids are large molecules that are generally not water-soluble. Since most of the digestive enzymes in the human body are water-based, there are specific steps the body must take to break down lipids and make them available for use.

Background:

Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) is a powerful technique for probing nanoscale structures.
Droplet microfluidics offers precise control over sample manipulation and reaction conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate the synergistic coupling of droplet microfluidics and SANS.
To evaluate carrier fluids and operational parameters for combined SANS and microfluidics.
To establish guidelines for selecting optimal SANS methodologies for various systems.

Main Methods:

Utilized droplet microfluidics with various model systems (solvents, surfactants, colloids).
Evaluated fluorinated oil as a carrier phase for minimal neutron background.
Performed systematic SANS dilution and contrast variation measurements.

Main Results:

Fluorinated oil demonstrated suitable properties for droplet SANS.
Established an operational window for combined flow and compositional averaging effects.
Achieved unprecedented quantification of colloidal silica structure factors and osmotic compressibility.
Demonstrated rapid contrast variation measurements (10-20 min).

Conclusions:

Droplet microfluidics is a viable platform for SANS analysis.
Continuous flow may be preferable for low scattering systems due to beam footprint averaging.
Provided guidelines for choosing between droplet and continuous flow SANS.
