Prospective observational study to assess hand skin condition after application of alcohol-based hand rub solutions

Characterization of cleaning and disinfecting tasks and product use among hospital occupations

“…Their use raises the question of whether frequent contact with alcohol results in deterioration of the skin barrier (dryness, cracking, etc.). Results from a study of nurses and housekeepers suggest that, at least in one hospital, limited use of alcohol‐based hand sanitizers did not dry skin [Ahmed‐Lecheheb et al, ]. During observations, we noticed most workers in cleaning and disinfecting occupations wore gloves during their cleaning tasks, while a lower proportion of workers in the non‐cleaning and disinfecting occupations wore gloves during their cleaning tasks.…”

The Relationship between Solubility and Transdermal Absorption of Tadalafil

“…Results also indicated that the solubility of Tadalafil was increased significantly via increasing the ratio of NMP in the binary solvent mixtures with PG. Although the studied solvents are routinely used in the formulation of TDDSs, few disadvantages are reported such as skin dryness using ethanol 35 as well as sticky and greasy characteristics for glycerin 36 which cause patient incompliance and even stop the treatment procedure. PG have shown some merits among these solvents for application in TDDSs such as lack of above mentioned drawbacks and skin permeation enhancement ability.…”

Making change easy: A peer-to-peer guide on transitioning to new hand hygiene products

“…5 It plays an important role in staff satisfaction with HHPs and, ultimately, hand hygiene compliance. 1,[5][6][7][8] Mental disorders and substance use disorders (alcohol abuse) co-occur in adults. Hence the criterion of safety of HHPs is of particular importance in mental health settings.…”
