Molecular site assessment and process monitoring in bioremediation and natural attenuation. off.
A variety of modern biotechnical approaches are available to assist in optimizing and controlling bioremediation processes. These approaches are broad-ranging, and may include genetic engineering to improve biodegradative performance, maintenance of the environment, and process monitoring and control. In addition to direct genetic engineering strategies, molecular diagnostic and monitoring technology using DNA gene probing methods and new quantitative mRNA analytical procedures allows direct analysis of degradative capacity, activity, and response under in situ conditions. Applications of these molecular approaches in process developments for trichloroethylene (TCE), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) bio-oxidation in soils, aquifer sediments, and ground-water treatment reactors have been demonstrated. Molecular genetic technologies permit not only the development of new processes for bioremediation, but also new process monitoring, control strategies, and molecular optimization paradigms that take full advantage of vast and diverse abilities of microorganisms to destroy problem chemicals.

Planning individual care with protocols.
The introduction of patient focused care at the Central Middlesex Hospital NHS Trust is well under way. This second article discusses the implementation of one of the key elements of the change, care protocols. From the documentation changes already adopted, the team are now able to show a 30 per cent overall reduction in time spent documenting care.

Know how treatment for childhood eczema.
Eczema cannot be cured, but much can be done both to prevent and alleviate its symptoms in children. Emollients--available as bath oils, soap substitutes and moisturisers--have a vital role in treating dry, scaly skin and tackling the scratch/itch cycle. They should be used daily, and can be administered alongside topical steroids and other treatments.
