Journal ArticleDOI
How far droplets can move in indoor environments--revisiting the Wells evaporation-falling curve.
TL;DR: The results indicate that a droplet's size predominately dictates its evaporation and movement after being expelled, and there is a need to examine the air distribution systems in hospital wards for controlling both airborne and droplet-borne transmitted diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presenting Vancomycin on Nanoparticles to Enhance Antimicrobial Activities
TL;DR: The synthesis of vancomycin (Van)-capped Au nanoparticles (Au@Van) and their enhanced in vitro antibacterial activities suggest that gold nanoparticles may serve as a useful model system to explore multi/polyvalent interactions of ligand−receptor pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of community-wide wearing of face mask for control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic due to SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: Community-wide mask wearing may contribute to the control of CO VID-19 by reducing virus shedding in saliva and respiratory droplets from individuals with subclinical or mild COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using biofunctional magnetic nanoparticles to capture vancomycin-resistant enterococci and other gram-positive bacteria at ultralow concentration.
TL;DR: Compared to the conventional use of magnetic particles in biological separation or drug delivery, magnetic nanoparticles, combined with specific receptor-ligand interactions, promise a sensitive and rapid protocol to detect pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escalating infection control response to the rapidly evolving epidemiology of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to SARS-CoV-2 in Hong Kong.

TL;DR: appropriate hospital infection control measures was able to prevent nosocomial transmission of SARS-CoV-2, and early airborne infection isolation, rapid molecular diagnostic testing, and contact tracing for healthcare workers with unprotected exposure in the hospitals was implemented.
