Are public library books contaminated by bacteria?

Abstract：

:The microbial flora on the surfaces of 15 books obtained from a public library and from 15 books obtained from a family household were studied. Staphylococcus epidermidis was recovered from 4 of the library books and 3 of the family household books. The number of organisms per page was between one to four. This data illustrates the safety of using library books, as they do not serve as a potential source of transmission of virulent bacteria.

  • Procedures that assess inconsistency in meta-analyses can assess the likelihood of response bias in multiwave surveys.

    abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Response bias may affect the result of surveys with <100% response rate. We applied methods commonly used in meta-analysis to ascertain the extent to which response bias affects multiwave survey results. METHODS:To test hypotheses of between-wave similarity, we used the Cochran-Armitage test f...
