Antimicrobial activity of copper against organisms in aqueous solution: a case for copper-based water pipelines in hospitals?
Copper containers show microbiocidal action on organisms in aqueous solution. Copper may contribute to the quality of water for human use, particularly in hospitals.
Granulocyte apheresis at an IO setting of 35 rather than 15 resulted in a significant increase in the GCE. The use of an IO setting of 35 during apheresis was an independent factor associated with granulocyte yield in the multivariate model. Donor safety was not compromised by collecting granulocytes at the higher IO setting.
