Infusion line contamination in preterm neonates: impact of infusion line design, length, and use duration: the multicenter ChronoBIOline study by Sandra Dos Santos, Anne-Sophie Valentin, Mathilde Farizon, Manon Charbonneau, Mohamed Riadh Boukhris, Roselyne Brat, Fabiana Cazzorla, Jennifer Chauvel, Fabrice Cneude, Pauline Coutable, Maryvonne Demasure, Emeline Duminil, Vénonique Faraut-Derouin, Maud Gits Muselli, Valérie Gorin, Rosemary Goujon, Melinda Guillouche-Puissant, Nadine Hacinlioglu, Caroline Landelle, Annick Lefebvre, Elise Leroy-Terquem, Aurore Martinet, Camille Massebeuf, Nadia Mazille Orfanos, Guillaume Menard, Laure Menvielle, Vanessa Monin, Virginie Morange, Juliana Patkai, Nathalie Perrault, Emilie Prat, Nathalie van der Mee-Marquet

“…Additionally, our findings raise concerns regarding the use of multi-line infusion systems. These devices, which combine extended infusion line length, manufacturer-authorized use of up to 21 days, and intermittent use of certain infusion lines, are easily contaminated during use, creating a high-risk situation for central line contamination.…”

CONCEPTS OF IMPROVING CURRENT PROTECTION OF POWER-GRID LINES by F. A. Romaniuk, M. A. Shevaldin

“…The authors offer a variant for solving the problem with computation of the second-stage time delays in those instances where several feeders diverge from the bus bars of the substation located in the end of the protected line.Improving current protections for the 6–35 kV transmission lines with one-end power supply against interphase short-circuits can be based on the collective application of the following principles: accounting for the type and location of the short-circuit which provides for the high-performance cutoff zone instantaneous expansion and its independence on the mode of failure and the grid operation mode. …”
