Reducing Intraoperative Infection Transmission in the Pediatric Operating Room
Patients becoming infected during hospitalization occurs frequently and causes harm. It is important for healthcare facilities to take action to prevent these infections and their spread between patients. Despite the presumption of a "sterile" environment, one place where spread of infection is known to happen is in the operating room. …

Detection and Delineation of Necrotizing Fasciitis Via a Vascular Perfusion Fluorophore
The primary objective of this work is to determine if fluorescence signal intensity changes from a vascular perfusion fluorophore (indocyanine green) can be associated with the presence of necrotizing fasciitis. Hypothesis - Tissue regions affected with necrotizing fasciitis will demonstrate reduced fluorescence intensity compared to an unaffected region without clinical …

Muscle Assessment Through Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Acute Sarcopenia
Traditionally, muscle mass - a part of the concept of sarcopenia - is measured by computed tomography (CT) or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. These devices are not always easily available in clinical practice and cannot be used bedside. An innovation in sarcopenia is the assessment of muscle mass and …
