Showcasing a discussion of the experimental process and a review of basic statistics, this volume provides methodologies to identify general data distribution, skewness, and outliers. It features a unique classification of the nonparametric analogs of their parametric counterparts according to the strength of the collected data. Applied Statistical Designs for the Researcher discusses three varieties of the Student t test, including a comparison of two different groups with different variances; two groups with the same variance; and a matched, paired group. It introduces the analysis of variance and Latin Square designs and presents screening approaches to comparing two factors and their interactions.

A range of factors must be considered when developing a topical antimicrobial for use in a healthcare personnel handwash, surgical scrub, or preoperative skin preparation. Antimicrobial effectiveness, low skin irritation, ease of use, and pleasing aesthetics are all essential if the product is to succeed. In addition, all facets of the product must comply with stringent regulatory requirements. With updated protocols and research, Topical Antimicrobials Testing and Evaluation, Second Edition comprehensively presents and reviews the latest techniques for testing antimicrobial compounds for effectiveness and regulatory compliance.Topics include:The anatomical structure of the skin and skin microbiology relevant to product testingUse of antimicrobial products against specific microorganisms such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus speciesMeasurement of antimicrobial action of topical antimicrobials from experimental design, microbiological, biostatistical, and marketplace perspectivesVarious aspects of the topical antimicrobial products currently in common use in medical, food service, and consumer marketsStatistical analysis and specific statistical designs for clinical trialsEpistemological requirements in evaluating the effects of specific treatmentsEvaluation strategies and sample working protocols for hand and body soaps, food-handler antimicrobial products, and medical/healthcare industry antimicrobial productsThe book is designed to inform industry and academia on the requirements to get products approved by the FDA and to market while also providing critical insight on ways to best service expanding markets.

Using firsthand accounts, the authors Daryl S. Paulson and Stanley Krippner offer insights into the realities of PTSD and combat trauma, and how symptoms may pervade even the most mundane of daily activities and cause sufferers to experience withdrawal, depression, violence, rage, and even suicide.

Highlighting techniques for testing antibacterial compounds, this new edition of a bestseller handbook provides tips and tools for navigating the ins and outs of FDA approval procedures. It offers strategies for the servicing of expanding markets, outlines testing protocols, presents a range of testing techniques, and reviews their efficacy and appropriate use, It also demonstrates specific methods for testing the effectiveness and safety of preinjection and preoperative washes, healthcare and food workers hand washes and sanitizers, and other surgical scrubs.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is increasingly common as service men and women return from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat zones. This work takes us into the minds of PTSD-affected veterans, as they struggle against the traumatic events lingering in their minds, sometimes exploding into violent behaviour.

This "nuts and bolts" book provides a condensation of biostatistical methods that applied microbiology researchers need to perform data analyses. The overriding goal of this book is to ground one's microbiological expertise and experience in one's research pursuits, using biostatistics not as a black box, but as a tool.

Examines laboratory techniques and FDA and industry perspectives on medical, food service, and consumer product applications of antimicrobials. This book offers methods to conduct investigations of effectiveness that simulate use of consumer, food, and medical antimicrobials in real-world conditions and environments, and more.
