![]() Hand scrubbing procedure for surgeryĪsepsis is the state of being free from disease-causing micro-organisms (such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, pathogenic fungi, and parasites). For the process of achieving this state, see Sterilization (microbiology). This can be done with chemicals such as bleach or alcohol, or with physical means such as heat or filtration.This article is about the state of being free from pathogens. Disinfection is the removal of most microorganisms from an object or surface. This can be achieved through physical means such as boiling or autoclaving, or through chemical means such as using bleach or alcohol. Sterilisation is the destruction of all microorganisms. ![]() Asepsis can be accomplished through sterilisation, disinfection, and antisepsis. It is the practice of keeping an area free of pathogenic microorganisms. ConclusionĪsepsis is the absence of contamination or infection. This includes washing your hands regularly and avoiding touching your face or mouth. This helps to reduce the number of the microorganisms present and makes it less likely that they will grow.įinally, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene. This means using clean techniques when handling instruments and dressings, and being careful not to touch anything that could be contaminated.Īnother important principle is to cleanse contaminated surfaces with a disinfectant. The most important principle in asepsis is to avoid contact with anything that could be contaminated. For example, during surgery, physical removal (scrubbing) and heat destruction (sterilisation) are both used. One or more of these methods may be used depending on the situation.

Their Advanced System Care is very, very thorough. Except maybe (and I say maybe, because I don’t have proof): Well, lemme just say that I’ve been using IOBit Uninstaller, as well as a number of their other programs, for a number of years now, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them. They are a very shady company and they made a very conscious business decision to install junk on your computer. It will completely gunk up your system with malware. In conclusion, this company is worthless, and you should not do business with them or even install their free trials. I had to force quit the process before I could delete the helper, and this was after Wondershare had already supposedly been removed from my system (and did not appear anywhere in Add/Remove Program). When I tried to delete the application it gave me an access denied error, because the process was still running in memory. The helper program was installed into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Wondershare, which is different than the main application folder that was previously under Program Files. I did a google search and found that other people have been similarly pissed off about this, and their response was to basically go and delete the Helper program. That's when I found a malware program called "Wondershare Helper" running in my processes and that it somehow added itself to my startup processes without my permission. ![]() I verified that I uninstalled all Wondershare products, but the popup ads were still occurring, about once a day in the morning. I wonder if anyone has actually fallen for that crap. Obviously it's an underhanded tactic to grab peoples' money before they forget about the product. It was a familiar ad, because when I previously uninstalled Wondershare, it had immediately launched my browser and took me to a "special deal" page that claimed I would get a % discount if I ordered right now. It was a pop up that basically said "Get a deal X% off of Wondershare" plus a link to the site. Luckily they were advertising Wondershare products, otherwise I probably wouldn't know what the source was. A few days later, I start to see these SUPER ANNOYING pop up ads on my desktop. So then I uninstalled again and I thought that was that. I started to have a sour taste in my mouth. I have no problem with a company using the registry to prevent re-using a trial (though most good programs don't do this), but I do have a problem with Wondershare completely gunking up my registry. ![]() If you use a program like process monitor, you can see TONS of registry accesses when the program boots up, more than I've seen in any other 3rd party program on Windows. What I realized is that they spew their garbage all over the registry. They use sophisticated registry tweaks to prevent you from re-using the trial after it's over. I then needed it again later that day so I tried installing it again and of course it wouldn't let me. Then I uninstalled it because the trial was over. It actually worked fairly well and I was considering purchasing it. I installed their streaming audio recorder program and used the trial. ![]() Uninstall any prior release, then switch the I-device off, on again, reinstall, log in. Make sure the app is installed well with ver. 30 notebooks downloaded, iPad Pro 10.5/512): I have had a paid Evernote account for many years - I have to be able to rely on the service as my extended knowledge base. The – for me – very important function of offline notebooks in the new Evernote iPhone iOS app does not seem to work reliably at the moment: I have been waiting for days for the notebooks with about 7.000 notes in 40 notebooks to be loaded offline on the iPhone – they seem to stuck loading at 20-30 % – on all of my iPhones. I have only 1800 notes across 82 notebooks, and 3 devices to sync. Hint: You CAN force download, by visiting note by note. There's a huge YOU HAD ONE JOB meme being played out here. but the menu still does not show notebook as "available offline".

So clearly support is not being kept in the loop. ![]() I contacted tech support today, they told me 10.x is beta and gave me instructions for backtracking to production 8.x. I had seen them the night before!!!Ĭan you believe they made a revision like this that doesn't utilize the notes already downloaded? Update happened, I got to the trailhead, and all the notes I made were unavailable. I had a note with extensive notes for a backpacking trip, checked the note before I went to bed. ![]() I uploaded them to the remote server and the site seems to work with no metadata corruption. So all the wordpress files and the tar archive are all created and live on the FAT32 USB drive so none can contain the metadata. My Bloggzapper php utility also works in this folder via the symbolic link. This all worked perfectly and Wordpress installed into the folder on the USB drive. Then I put the Wordpress install files in the folder on the usb drive and then ran an install using MAMP via a url that pointed at the symbolic link. I created a symbolic link to a folder on this drive (using a utility called SymbolicLinker) and placed the symbolic link in my htdocs folder in my MAMP folder (which is where MAMP expects site folders to be). I found another solution (I think - still testing) which is based on using a USB drive formatted to MS-DOS FAT (which is actually FAT32) which does not support extended attributes metadata. What I need is either:Ī) a way to stop this date being writen during the process of Bloggzapper creating the tar archive on my macī) a way to strip the extended attributes metadata from the files inside the tar archive (without decompressing it.Īs it is this problem completely breaks my work flow So cannot open the archive on my mac as it breaks the bloggzapper work flow. Suddenly after I installed 10.6.8 on my Mac I started to get corrupt installed caused by the attribute being added to all my files inside the tar archive created by Bloggzapper - I assume it is caused by some aspect of a security upgrade in the 10.6.8 update. Blogzapper builds a very specific tar archive and if you mess with it then Bloggzapper cannot work its magic on the remote server and install my wordpress site, it cannot deal with a tar archive that has been tampered with. Bloggzapper builds a tar archive of my local site and then I upload it to the remote server where it is decompressed and installed by Blogzapper at the other end. The problem is this: I use the utility Bloggzaaper to clone Wordpress sites developed in a MAMP setup on my Mac. 6.I undertsand what this metadata problem is but I don't think your advice helps me. To ensure the complete removal, it would be better to unhide the Library folder permanently. In the upper-left corner of the screen, hold the “Option” key on your keyboard, click “Go” on the Finder, and select “Library” to open the Library folder. Otherwise, just do the following to clean them out. Usually they are very small, so if you attempt to reinstall the application, you can keep them. So this is teaching you how to delete the Support and Preference Files from it, which are those left behind after you remove MAMP application. In the entire removal process, the Library folder could be a blind spot to many users. This will permanently remove MAMP and everything inside, freeing up the hard drive space on your Mac. It will ask for your confirmation, also click “Empty Trash” on the message. Right-click on the Trash icon, select “Empty Trash”.

Marvel could do anything right now, but it seems frustratingly locked into its formula, stifling its most powerful assets. The only consistently great thing in the current MCU is the series of fantastic villains like Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher, most of whom are only around for a movie. The new crop of supes like Shang Chi and the Eternals aren’t household names yet. Returning heroes like Thor and Doctor Strange are just making their way back. The Avengers are all scattered to the wind at this point: many of Marvel’s established heroes are gone (dead, or retired). The current slate of movies, known as Phase Four and following the events of 2019’s Endgame, aren’t yet bound to an overarching story. This misuse is especially glaring now because for the first time in a while, it feels like the MCU is starting over. When the villains are pretty forgettable (quick: name the villain in the first Ant-Man movie without Googling it) and are a part of heroes’ origin stories, it’s usually not a problem.īut it feels a little wasteful when you have a performance like Bale’s. They’re just temporary obstacles that stand in until our heroes can unite to fight the biggest, baddest evil. Unless it’s the ultimate guy (see: Thanos), bad guys don’t stick around in the MCU. Marvel has created an acclaimed and highly profitable web of interconnected superhero movies, but their villains are largely treated as disposable. Jordan’s Killmonger from Black Panther and Cate Blanchett’s Hela from Thor: Ragnarock, Bale’s Gorr probably won’t be back for another round. Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll be around for a grand flashback, but he dies at the end of the movie, and history shows that’s usually the end of the road for Marvel villains. He does this by butchering those gods, one by one.īut - spoiler alert - even though Gorr the God Butcher is the best thing about Thor: Love and Thunder, it’s likely to be the last fans ever see of him. Now, he tries to make everyone feel the same hopelessness he does. With no faith to lose, Gorr killed Rapu with the magical Necrosword. High on haughtiness, Rapu told Gorr he didn’t care about him. But then on his judgment day, he came face to face with the god he worshiped, Rapu (Jonny Brugh). Gorr, born in an unnamed world far away, was eternally devout - even in his own suffering, even after the death of his daughter. The name brings to mind flesh and metal and thwacks against a divine cutting board. He repurposes and reconfigures his victims, hacking at hunks of their meat with a cleaver. A butcher isn’t just a killer, he doesn’t just end a life and move on. Looking for more Marvel movies and shows to stream?

Recently, scientists synced a monkey’s brain to a computer for the first time. Whether we want to examine our vision, check blood pressure, or scan lungs - we do all of that with the help of technology. Whenever we visit a hospital, we see machines beeping and blinking all of them aiding in health management. It includes one of the most critical spheres of our lives - healthcare. Indeed, technologies are a game-changer as our lives have become much easier with the advancement of technology. Look at what we got today - we do shopping without leaving home, travel across the globe, and even manage businesses via gadgets. To read more of this series, please visit technologies have made a significant impact on our everyday life. Ultimately, however, the further advances of artificial intelligence are fascinating, and it will be interesting to see how large language models such as ChatGPT are implemented into all aspects of life, including the healthcare industry, in the near future. Accredited physicians must remain the primary decision-makers in a patient’s medical journey. ![]() There will be a temptation to allow chatbox systems a greater workload than they have proved they deserve. Thirdly, while the chatbox systems have the potential to create efficient healthcare workplaces, we must be vigilant to ensure that credentialed people remain employed at these workplaces to maintain a human connection with patients. The remaining inaccuracies could be detrimental to the patient's health, receiving false information about their potential condition. While a median accuracy score of 5.5 is impressive, it still falls short of a perfect score across the board. Secondly, there will be cases of misinformation and misdiagnosis. Any healthcare entity using a chatbox system must ensure protective measures are in place for its patients. There are ethical considerations to giving a computer program detailed medical information that could be hacked and stolen. However, we must note the drawbacks of relying on such technologies before we proceed with their incorporation.įirst is the question of privacy. With hundreds of millions of users, people could easily find out how to treat their symptoms, how to contact a physician, and so on. These include OneRemission, which helps cancer patients manage symptoms and side effects, and Ada Health, which assesses symptoms and creates personalized health information, among others.ĬhatGPT and similar large language models would be the next big step for artificial intelligence incorporating into the healthcare industry. Many healthcare chatbots using artificial intelligence already exist in the healthcare industry. The mean scores were 5.7 and 2.8.Īmong all 284 questions asked across the two chatbox platforms, the median accuracy score was 5.5, and the median completeness score was 3.0, suggesting the chatbox format is a potentially powerful tool given its prowess. Again, the resulting median accuracy was 6.0, and median completeness was 3.0. To further cement their findings, the researchers asked the GPT-4 another 60 questions related to ten common medical conditions. These results suggest an improved answer generation for GPT-4, as expected. The mean score for accuracy improved from 5.2 to 5.7, while the mean score for completeness improved from 2.6 to 2.8, as medians for both systems were 6.0 and 3.0, respectively. To test and evaluate the accuracy and completeness of GPT-4 as compared to GPT-3.5, researchers asked both systems 44 questions regarding melanoma and immunotherapy guidelines. Notably, 26 of the 26 answers improved in accuracy, with the median score for the group improving from 2.0 to 4.0. The 36 inaccurate answers receiving a score of 2.0 or lower on the accuracy scale were reevaluated 11 days later, using GPT-3.5 to evaluate improvement over time. The researchers note that accuracy and completeness correlated across difficulty and question type. Most responses (53.3%) were comprehensive to the question, whereas only 12.2% were incomplete. Roughly 8% of questions were completely incorrect, and most answers given an accuracy score of 2.0 or less were given to the most challenging questions. Of the 180 questions asked for GPT-3.5, 71 (39.4%) were completely accurate, and another 33 (18.3%) were nearly accurate. We currently work mainly with cats. Where are we?

These animals with no proper vet care can easily overpopulate an area and spread preventable diseases to family pets as well as people. Why do we do what we do? We started A+ Animal Rescue because we noticed a steadily increasing number of stray and abandoned pets reproducing as a result of irresponsible ownership and old-fashioned attitudes toward animal care. We also assist local communities with feral cat populations by trapping, neutering and releasing male cats in order to stop the colony from growing. We do our best to educate the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership, such as regular vet visits, spaying and neutering. ![]() Our rescue is not a shelter, we are built on a foster home system, so the animals are exposed to a home environment and can learn how to behave when they go home with their new family.What do we do?
