The threat of emerging infectious diseases has highlighted the need for effective gowns to protect health care workers and patients. Although studies identified end user issues with the physical performance of gowns, the literature that evaluates the

Veterans Health Administration had mandated ongoing preparation for emerging pathogens after the last Ebola epidemic in South Africa, which dangled the possibility of a pandemic on the world. Ebola Virus Disease-specific preparedness (continued

Several studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of antimicrobial peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs), and the results are conflicting. Therefore, in this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to summarize and identify
