STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION IN A DENTAL CLINIC pptVineetha K
One of the basic things you need to know before starting a dental clinic. This presentation covers the basics of sterilization and disinfection in a dental setting.
STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION BY DR RAHUL ACHARYA.pptrahulacharya52
sterilization using chemical methods, sterilization using physical methods, sterilization using sun light, heat, autoclave, hot air oven . tindalisation, inspisation .
Killing or removing all forms of microbial life (including endospores) in a material or an object.
Mainly due to: oxidation of cell component, denature proteins, nucleic acids, RNA and loss of membrane permeability.
Procedures performed in a way to prevent contamination with infectious microorganisms
Used to prevent contamination of surgical instruments, medical personnel, and the patient during surgery
Sanitization: Lowering of microbial counts to prevent transmission in public setting (e.g., restaurants & public rest rooms)
Degerming: Mechanical removal of microbes from limited area. e.g., Alcohol swab on skin, washing of hands with soap
Sepsis: Bacterial contamination
Antisepsis: Reduction or Inhibition of microbes found on LIVING TISSUE

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

4. Sterilization
The process of destroying all microbial
forms both pathogenic and non
pathogenic. A sterile object is one free of all
microbial forms, including bacterial spores.
5. Disinfection
The reduction or elimination of pathogenic
microorganisms in or on materials, so they
are no longer a health hazard.
6. Antisepsis
Use of chemical agents on skin or other
living tissue to inhibit or eliminate
microbes; no sporicidal action is implied.
9. Risk Groups (WHO)
Risk Groups Organisms
Group I Low risk Food spoilage bacteria moulds and yeasts
Group II
Moderate risk
Staph, Strep, vibrios, Enterobacteriaceae,
adeno, polio, coxsackie V
Toxoplasma, Leishmania
Group III
High Risk
Brucella, MTB, S typhii, Plague bacteria
HIV, Rickettsiae,
Group IV
Viruses
Smallpox, Hemmorhagic fevers, Encephalitis,

16. MOIST HEAT
Boiling at 100C for 5mins (water bath)
>Advantage HBV, all vegetative
bacteria, some spores
Useful in emergency
conditions
>Disadvantage Not for heat labile
/porous articles
17. MOIST HEAT cont…
Steaming at 100C (for 5 mins)
>Advantage: prevents cracking of
glassware
Heat labile culture media
Destroys most vegetative
bacteria
>Disadvantage: Spores, thermophiles not
destroyed
18. fractional sterilization or Tyndallization:
1) Steam heating to 100 °C for 30 min——
Vegetative cells are destroyed but endospores survive
2) Incubate at 30 °C -37 °C overnight
Most bacterial endospores germinate
3) Second heat treatment, 100 °C, 30 min
Germinated endospores are killed.
4) Second incubation at 30°C-37 °C overnight
Remaining endospores germinate
5) Third heat treatment, 100 °C, 60 min
Last remaining germinated endospores are killed
