In 2020 a group of U.S. healthcare leaders formed the National Organization to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (NOHAP) to issue a call to action to address non–ventilator-associated hospital-acquired pneumonia (NVHAP). NVHAP is one of the most common and morbid healthcare-associated infections, but it is not tracked, reported, or actively prevented by most hospitals. This national call to action includes (1) launching a national healthcare conversation about NVHAP prevention; (2) adding NVHAP prevention measures to education for patients, healthcare professionals, and students; (3) challenging healthcare systems and insurers to implement and support NVHAP prevention; and (4) encouraging researchers to develop new strategies for NVHAP surveillance and prevention. The purpose of this document is to outline research needs to support the NVHAP call to action. Primary needs include the development of better models to estimate the economic cost of NVHAP, to elucidate the pathophysiology of NVHAP and identify the most promising pathways for prevention, to develop objective and efficient surveillance methods to track NVHAP, to rigorously test the impact of prevention strategies proposed to prevent NVHAP, and to identify the policy levers that will best engage hospitals in NVHAP surveillance and prevention. A joint task force developed this document including stakeholders from the Veterans’ Health Administration (VHA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The Joint Commission, the American Dental Association, the Patient Safety Movement Foundation, Oral Health Nursing Education and Practice (OHNEP), Teaching Oral-Systemic Health (TOSH), industry partners and academia.

Propanil is an acylanilide herbicide introduced in the early 1960s to control dicotyledonous weeds and grasses, including Echinochloa species in cultivated rice. Since then, propanil has been used extensively in rice production in the United States and in several other countries. Propanil is an inhibitor of photosystem II, but rice is tolerant to propanil because of the presence of a high level of aryl acylamidase that catalytically degrades the compound to nonphytotoxic products, i.e., 3,4-dichloroaniline and propionic acid. About 10 yr ago, biotypes of barnyardgrass and junglerice were discovered to be resistant to propanil. The resistance mechanism of these two biotypes has been shown to be elevated levels of aryl acylamidase activity. Various strategies to combat propanil resistance and to more fully understand the biochemistry involved in this resistance have been investigated. These include studies on the interactions of herbicides and other chemicals with propanil, rotation of rice with other crops (consequently the use of other herbicide modes of action), and use of alternative herbicides in rice. Certain compounds, including some organophosphate insecticides, are potent inhibitors of aryl acylamidase, which can act as synergists with propanil to increase phytotoxicity. Another compound that lacks insecticidal or herbicidal activity, PPG-124, has been commercialized as a herbicide synergist for propanil. These chemical and biochemical interactions and other factors involved in propanil-resistant Echinochloa weeds are presented and discussed.

Objective:
The aetiology and outcomes for patients with acquired subglottic stenosis are highly variable. This study aimed to identify risk factors for subglottic stenosis and patient characteristics that predict long-term clinical outcomes.
Methods:A retrospective review was performed on 63 patients with subglottic stenosis and 63 age-matched controls. Patient demographics and clinical characteristics were compared. Subglottic stenosis patients were further grouped according to tracheostomy status (i.e. tracheostomy never required, tracheostomy initially required but patient eventually decannulated, and tracheostomy-dependent). Patient factors from these three groups were then compared to evaluate risk factors for long-term tracheostomy dependence.
Results:Compared to controls, patients with subglottic stenosis had a significantly higher body mass index (30.8 vs 26.0 kg/m2; p < 0.001) and were more likely to have diabetes (23.8 per cent vs 7.94 per cent; p = 0.01). Comparing tracheostomy outcomes within the subglottic stenosis group, body mass index trended towards significance (p = 0.08). Age, gender, socio-economic status, subglottic stenosis aetiology and other co-morbidities did not correlate with outcome.
Conclusion:Obesity and diabetes are significant risk factors for acquiring subglottic stenosis. Further investigations are required to determine if obesity is also a predictor for failed tracheostomy decannulation in subglottic stenosis.

OBJECTIVE
We aimed to determine the frequency of qacA/B chlorhexidine tolerance genes and high-level mupirocin resistance among MRSA isolates before and after the introduction of a chlorhexidine (CHG) daily bathing intervention in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU).
DESIGNRetrospective cohort study (2005–2012)
SETTINGA large tertiary-care center
PATIENTSPatients admitted to SICU who had MRSA surveillance cultures of the anterior nares
METHODSA random sample of banked MRSA anterior nares isolates recovered during (2005) and after (2006–2012) implementation of a daily CHG bathing protocol was examined for qacA/B genes and high-level mupirocin resistance. Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing was also performed.
RESULTSOf the 504 randomly selected isolates (63 per year), 36 (7.1%) were qacA/B positive (+) and 35 (6.9%) were mupirocin resistant. Of these, 184 (36.5%) isolates were SCCmec type IV. There was a significant trend for increasing qacA/B (P=.02; highest prevalence, 16.9% in 2009 and 2010) and SCCmec type IV (P<.001; highest prevalence, 52.4% in 2012) during the study period. qacA/B(+) MRSA isolates were more likely to be mupirocin resistant (9 of 36 [25%] qacA/B(+) vs 26 of 468 [5.6%] qacA/B(−); P=.003).
CONCLUSIONSA long-term, daily CHG bathing protocol was associated with a change in the frequency of qacA/B genes in MRSA isolates recovered from the anterior nares over an 8-year period. This change in the frequency of qacA/B genes is most likely due to patients in those years being exposed in prior admissions. Future studies need to further evaluate the implications of universal CHG daily bathing on MRSA qacA/B genes among hospitalized patients.

Segregation of the prophage of bacteriophage 90 has been observed in reciprocal crosses between lysogenic and non-lysogenic parents of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO. Linkage of the prophage was shown to three genes determining histidine biosynthesis in that region of the chromosome 7–13 min from the site on the chromosome at which the sex factor FP2 promotes chromosome mobilization.

Prophage H90 has been found to undergo a phenomenon similar to zygotic induction, during conjugal transfer from a lysogenic donor to a non-lysogenic recipient.
It has not been possible to demonstrate that the level of infectious centres increases concomitantly with transfer of the prophage. However, the genetic consequence of zygotic induction was observed with regard to decreased recombinant yield of markers distal to the prophage. This latter fact has been exploited in interrupted mating experiments, to locate the prophage at between 5 and 7 min on the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO map. It was further shown by transduction experiments that the prophage does not appear to be linked to clusters of co-transductional markers at the 5 and 7 min locations.

The UV-inducible prophage J51 has been mapped late on the chromosome of P. aeruginosa strain PAO, relative to the entry point of the sex factor FP2. This was determined following the analysis of the segregation of unselected markers in conjugational crosses between appropriately marked donor and recipient strains. A more precise location of about 50 min was obtained from the kinetics of increase in infectious centres due to zygotic induction during interrupted mating experiments.

The Spitzer Space Telescope has delivered impressive infrared images of numerous low-mass star forming regions at unprecedented sensitivity. In this paper we focus on their high-mass counterparts, the most massive HII regions in the Local Group: NGC3603 (MW), W49A (MW), 30 Doradus (LMC), NGC346 (SMC), and NGC604 (M33). The deep mid-IR images, taken with IRAC show the complex structure of the ISM, the interplay between ISM and stellar clusters, and reveal new sites of star formation. We compare the IRAC data with observations from Chandra and find good anti-correlations between the mid-IR and soft X-ray emission regions. We also investigate the commonalities and differences between the giant HII regions NGC604 and 30 Doradus.

Thermal curing of the (4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionato)silver(I)-containing poly(amic acid) formed from 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4′-oxydianiline (4,4′-ODA) in dimethylacetamide gives both polyimide films via cyclodehydration and reduction of silver(I) to the native metal. Silver(0) migrates to the surface resulting in surface metallized composite films, which can have excellent reflectivity, but do not exhibit surface electrical conductivity. The films retain mechanical and thermal properties similar to those of the parent polyimide. X-ray diffraction shows crystalline face-centered-cubic silver in the films after thermal curing. Microscopy data show that the surface particle sizes are in the range of approximately 50–100 nm. Significant silver remains in the bulk of the polyimide film with varying particles sizes generally less than approximately 15 nm. The interior of the metallized films is not electrically conducting. Films were characterized by x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and mechanical measurements.

At the Savannah River Site (SRS) we are currently finalizing the design for a multi-system vitrification process that will be installed in the F-Canyon Multi-Purpose Process Facility (MPPF), an existing highly shielded, remotely operated facility. Authorization to proceed beyond the preliminary design based on the recommendation of a Formal Design Review Board was requested in May of 1999.
The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) Process Development Group has been conducting research and developing a process to identify equipment design bases and process operating parameters since 1996. The goal of the project is to stabilize a tank of ∼11,000 liters of nitric acid solution containing valuable isotopes of americium (Am) and curium (Cm). Vitrification has been selected as the most attractive alternative for stabilization and provides the opportunity for recovery and eventual reuse of the actinides. The final glass form will be placed in interim storage awaiting a disposition by the Department of Energy. This paper presents a brief history of the stabilization program and an overview of the entire Am/Cm stabilization process. This paper also provides details of a specific processing issue related to drain tube pluggage (devitrification) that was encountered during the development of the baseline batch vitrification process, and the remedy employed to reduce the potential for further drain tube pluggage.

The refolding of four disulfide lysozyme (at pH 5.2, 20 °C) involves parallel pathways, which have been proposed to merge at a near-native state. This species contains stable structure in the α- and β-domains but lacks a functional active site. Although previous experiments have demonstrated that the near-native state is populated on the fast refolding pathway, its relevance to slow refolding molecules could not be directly determined from previous experiments. In this paper, we describe experiments that investigate the effect of added salts on the refolding pathway of lysozyme at pH 5.2, 20 °C. We show, using stopped flow tryptophan fluorescence, inhibitor binding, and circular dichroism (CD), that the rate of formation of native lysozyme on the slow refolding track is significantly reduced in solutions of high ionic strength in a manner dependent on the position of the anion in the Hofmeister series. By contrast, the rate of evolution of hydrogen exchange (HX) protection monitored by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) is unchanged under the refolding conditions studied. The data show, therefore, that at high ionic strengths β-domain stabilization and native state formation on the slow refolding pathway become kinetically decoupled such that the near-native state becomes significantly populated. Thus, by changing the energy landscape with the addition of salts new insights into the relevance of intermediate states in lysozyme refolding are revealed.

Fast-pulse laser crystallization of amorphous silicon thin films on non-crystalline substrates provides a low-temperature process for generating polycrystalline silicon. This process can be augmented by including laser doping to reduce the number of process steps in the fabrication of thin-film polysilicon devices. We have studied the simultaneous laser crystallization and laser doping process, starting with amorphous silicon on fused silica substrates and using the gas immersion technique for the doping. n-type and p-type doping employed PF5 and BF3 gases, respectively. Films were characterized both structurally and electrically. The grain size increases with increasing laser energy density as the film becomes fully melted and reaches a peak value, similar to laser crystallization without doping. The dopant concentration increases with the number of laser shots and, with 100 shots, achieves a high dose with a low sheet resistance below 1000 ohms/square, appropriate for devices. The dopant profile extends to a depth comparable to the melt depth, beyond which it falls off to the background level. Therefore, the doping depth and concentration can be controlled with the laser parameters.

Pulsed Laser-Induced Epitaxy / Gas Immersion Laser Doping is used to create borondoped heteroepitaxial p+/N Si1−xGex/Si layers and diodes. Borontriflouride is used as the gaseous dopant source. The mechanisms of heteroepitaxial layer growth of Si1−xGex using PLIE are described and impurity incorporation from the gas phase into the molten layer is investigated. Compared to other heteroepitaxial techniques, very different process parameters determine the growth. The energy fluence of the pulsed laser beam determines the melt depth and thus the layer thickness; Si and Ge intermix in the liquid phase, the diffusion of B dopant also depends on its diffusivity in the liquid phase. Boron incorporation is investigated as a function of laser energy fluence and number of laser pulses using SIMS and Hall-effect measurements. The dose of incorporated dopant is on the order of 1013cm−2 per pulse. The obtained boron profiles are flat except for a pile-up at the interface which is due to segregation. Boron and Germanium distribution are compared to turn-on voltage shifts obtained from p+/N Si1-xGex/Si heterojunction diodes fabricated with the technique. A two-step Laser process to independently control metallurgical and electrical junction depth of the diodes has been implemented. The selective nature of the epitaxial process is emphasized.

The viability of Gas Immersion Laser Doping (GILD) for VLSI processing of ultra shallow junctions is assessed using chemical, electrical and structural characterization of boron doped diodes. Diodes with good ideality factors (1.1) overarange of junction depths (50nm Xj 200 nm) have been fabricated by GILD. This process uses a pulsed XeCI excimer laserincident on a silicon surface saturated with B2H6.
Dopant profiles as a function of laser energy and number of pulses aredetermined using Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry(SIMS). For low energy or a large number of pulses, comparison with computer modelling suggests the junction is determined by melt depth. For higher laser energy and few pulses, liquid phase diffusion limits the depth of dopant incorporation.
Leakage current measurements as a function of diode perimeter to area (P/A) ratio and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) suggest that leakage occurs along the diode perimeter, and is dueto point defects generated from thermal stresses during melt regrowth. Diodes show good I-V characteristics after GILD alone, yet subsequent rapid thermal annealingisfound to further reduce leakage currents, probably due to relief of thermal stresses. Sheet carrier densities from Halleffect measurements show that 5 - 10% of the boron is activated, with doping levels exceeding 1020 cm−3 in some samples. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) demonstrates that reasonable crystalline quality is maintained for moderate GILD conditions with a defect density at the surface of approximately 108 cm−2 .For higher laser energy with boron incorporation exceeding solid solubility, TEM shows stacking faults along <110>directions. Electron diffraction on highly doped samples shows extra spots indicating a high degree of strain in the doped layer.
