Abstract To understand the current situation of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens in a women's and children's hospital and analyze the causes to provide a scientific basis for improving occupational exposure prevention and control measures. We analyzed occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens in a third-class women's and children's hospital from 2015 to 2018, considering the workers' occupational categories and length of service; the sites, types, and causes of exposure; and the pathogens of the source patients. From 2015 to 2018, there were 146 cases of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, mainly from sharp-instrument injuries (81.5%; 119/146). Trainees represented the highest proportion of occupational exposure (30.1%; 44/146), followed by nurses (29.5%; 43/146). Occupational exposure among staff with less than one year of service accounted for 43.2% (63/146) of cases. Fisher's exact test showed that different occupational groups ...

Credit: NASA Still cruising toward its operating orbit nearly a million miles from Earth, the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope completed a transformation into its final dimension Saturday with the last of some 50 post-launch deployments, the unfolding of the observatory's 21.3-foot (6.5-meter) primary mirror. Mission controllers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, confirmed the starboard, or right-side wing of Webb's primary mirror had folded into place at 10:28 a.m. EST (1528 GMT) Saturday. The milestone occurred 14 days, 3 hours, and 8 minutes after the mission's launch Dec. 25 from French Guiana aboard a European Ariane 5 rocket. A few hours later, ground teams announced the mirror wing had fully latched into place, prompting high-fives, applause, and cheers among the control team in Baltimore, all wearing face masks amid a wave of worldwide coronavirus ...

There was a lot of confusion after Below Deck: Sailing Yacht 's Season 2 reunion concerning the baby that castmate Dani Soares was soon going to give birth to. Well, Soares wasn't confused – she knew her co-star Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux was the father, but she stated he wanted nothing to do with the child. Conversely, he claimed that he just wanted a paternity test to make sure. Cerza-Lanaux's paternity of baby girl Lilly was finally confirmed just recently but, not long after, Soares seemingly shaded him on social media. After the bombshell reunion in June, Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux went silent on his own social media accounts. But he broke the hiatus on Instagram to reveal that an "international DNA test" was completed and that he was "happy and proud" to say that the baby was indeed his. The Below Deck: Sailing Yacht deckhand also would indicate that co-parenting efforts were still in-progress because of how they both work in different countries, with Cerza...

A new store is giving pre-loved clothes a second chance. Carole Young and Sydney McIntyre are the mother-daughter team behind A Second Time Around. The shop selling pre-loved children's clothes opened this week at 260 Third Ave., between Altered Reality and Lemongrass. "On social media, the feedback has been phenomenal. It has far, far surpassed my expectations. We're under restrictions, we've undergone some pretty bitter cold weather and we've still succeeded in our first couple days much better than I had anticipated. It's really positive and if that's the sign of the future I think that we're really going to succeed and stay in the community for a long time," said Young.  The store features aisles wide enough for strollers to fit through and a friendly atmosphere.  The racks of clothes range in size from newborn to adult small. They hope to grow the inventory, especially the larger sizes that there ...

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- You may have seen Heather Nischke's work before. She took photos of Giannis Antetokounmpo and his partner, Mariah Riddlesprigger, when they hosted a diaper drive recently celebrating their son, Maverick. She photographs families in all kinds of settings, but the focus of her work is documenting births. She captures those precious moments when families welcome a new member. "You don't like this idea," Nischke said, holding a camera over a new baby. Nischke is used to handling fussy clients. "Oh, that's perfect! You cooperated, thank you," she said with a laugh. A lot of them, after all, are babies. She got the idea to start her own business seven years ago. "A lot...

When a person contracts a virus, there can be a period of time before it will show up on a test or before signs and symptoms appear. Experts call this the incubation period. Hepatitis B symptoms can take 60–150 days to develop, and a test can detect the virus after 1–9 weeks following exposure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the average time it takes for symptoms to appear is 90 days, and tests can detect the virus after an average of 4 weeks. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes inflammation in the liver. It can be acute or chronic. HBV transmission occurs through bodily fluids. When someone who has not gotten the vaccination for hepatitis B comes into contact with HBV, it will take a while before they experience symptoms or signs of the infection. This article discusses the incubation period for hepatitis B and how transmission of the virus occurs. Not everyone who develops hepatitis B will have symptoms. However, according to the CDC, if symptoms d...

Washington Post illustration/stock images Seven weeks after Jessica Scalia gave birth to her son James, the situation was both extremely common and completely dire. Her son was not sleeping, which meant she and her husband weren't, either. "I was desperate," she says. "I was willing to try anything." So, at an ungodly hour on one particularly bad night, she made an impulse decision to rent a Snoo — a nearly $1,500 robotic bassinet that automatically soothes fussy babies with motion and white noise. She had heard about the Snoo, which uses artificial intelligence and sensors to listen for a baby's cries and rock them back to sleep, but had written off the device as overhyped. The company behind the Snoo, Happiest Baby, claimed that it could give parents an extra two hours of sleep each night, which sounded like a fantasy to Scalia. And friends who used it evangelized — and bragged — about their sleep-gifted infants. "Before I had a baby, I [was] j...
