Soaps play an important role in our hygiene and health, as they not only have a bactericidal effect but also remove dirt from the human body. To evaluate the effectiveness of soaps with antimicrobial ...
Currently, there is renewed interest in using fatty acid soaps as surfactants. Hydroxylated fatty acids are specific fatty acids with a hydroxyl group in the alkyl chain, giving rise to chirality and ...
To investigate the predictive value of the "soap bubble" sign on molecular subtypes (Group A [PFA] and Group B [PFB]) of posterior fossa ependymomas (PF-EPNs)....
MRI scans of 227 PF-EPNs (internal retrospective discovery set) were evaluated by two independent neuroradiologists to assess the "soap bubble" sign, which was defined as clusters of cysts of various ...
Across three datasets, the "soap bubble" sign was observed in 21 PFB cases (7.4% [21/285] of PF-EPNs and 12.9% [21/163] of PFB); none in PFA. Analysis of the internal retrospective discovery set demon...
The "soap bubble" sign represents a highly specific imaging marker for the PFB molecular subtype of PF-EPNs....
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common and serious complications of surgery. Guidelines on preventing SSIs have been developed, but the role of preoperative bathing with plain soap among paediatri...
An open-label, randomised trial was conducted at Muhimbili National Hospital in Tanzania. Preoperatively, patients in the intervention group washed their body using plain soap, while those in the cont...
Of the 252 patients recruited,114 were randomised to the intervention arm. In the control arm, 40.6% (56/138) of participants developed SSIs compared to 11.4% (13/114) in the intervention arm (p < 0.0...
This study has shown that preoperative bathing with soap significantly reduces SSIs in paediatric surgical patients. It is a simple, cost effective and sustainable intervention....

Handwashing with soap is a widely advocated public health measure, but seldom practiced, partly because it is often difficult (especially outside of rich Western country contexts) to make both soap an...
This retrospective case series introduces a tissue-preserving approach to treat complicated wounds with undermined edges or wounds with pockets. Wounds with undermining or pockets are commonly encount...
The use of synthetic surfactants reflects the high demand in the hygiene and cleaning sector for products with low-cost and good-effectiveness. These ingredients are the main components of intimate so...
The opioid abuse crisis is rampant in the United States. Children and adolescents are unique risk groups in this crisis; age-specific concerns include accidental ingestion and association with high-ri...
A prospective survey study of pediatric plastic surgery patients at the St. Louis Children's Hospital was performed from January to December 2020. Patients were assigned into two groups: those who rec...
Surveys of 326 patients were analyzed (188 preoperative, 120 pre/postoperative, and 18 postoperative). Prescribed opioids were all consumed in 19% of patients. Receiving the educational brochure signi...
Postoperative opioids are overprescribed for most pediatric plastic surgery patients. A simple brochure significantly increases proper postoperative opioid disposal, representing a cost-effective, con...
Different strategies for hand skin hygiene have been used to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2. However, frequent hand sanitization has been associated with skin damage. The present study aimed to eval...
We conducted a survey regards hand hygiene habits acquired during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, we performed cutometry in a cohort of individuals who cleansed their volar forearms every 30 min, during ...
We received 138 responses from people with medium-high educational level who reported a 2.5-time increase in the frequency of hand cleansing (p < 0.0001) that resulted in skin damage. An in vivo analy...
It is known that the excessive use of soap or alcohol-based products causes dermatological issues. The present study demonstrates that non-medicated soap significantly affects skin moisture and elasti...
The transmission of microorganisms via hands is a critical factor in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), underscoring the importance of rigorous hand hygiene. The rise of antimicrobial-resistant ...
