Avoidance of cross infection is important between CF siblings living in the same household. In this study, we examined the ability of domestic steam disinfection to eradicate 16 species of CF bacterial and foodborne pathogens from the surface of contaminated crockery and cutlery. Domestic steam disinfection employing baby bottle disinfector devices, when performed properly under manufacturer's instructions, eradicated all organisms tested and offers a relatively inexpensive, simple, versatile and widely available technology for the elimination of common CF bacterial and foodborne pathogens from contaminated crockery and cutlery utensils. Most CF households may already have a baby bottle disinfector device, in order to disinfect nebulizers, respiratory equipment and toothbrushes and therefore employment of this device to disinfect crockery and cutlery would be easily achieved. We therefore advocate the employment of such devices to disinfect such common household utensils, as a critical control in the elimination of these organisms from these sources, thereby enhancing CF sibling safety.

In this paper we analyze new aspects of the territories of design, ceramics and teaching in art education. We review the concept of the crockery elements and boarded the table hierarchies, combining historical, aesthetic and educational issues, covering the tradition which relates the uses of food and design between the Medieval Era and modern times. We claim the role of the artisan-craftsman as a concept which relates the production of objects with school work from perception of pragmatist sociologist Richard Sennett.

Most of the take away materials used today is made of plastic. This presents a huge challenge in terms of waste management and pollution. It is widely known that plastic takes several hundred to thousand years to decompose, releasing toxic substances in the process. Therefore, the aim of this work was to analyze alternatives to plastic takeaway cutlery, crockery from areca palm and coconut tree by products. This focuses on reviving the methods and knowledge that existed in the southern and central parts of the Indian subcontinent for making sustainable cutlery and crockery products used in everyday life. A market analysis, design, life cycle analysis and deeper research on the fabrication will be briefly presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An outbreak of gastroenteritis affected 453 attendees (attack rate 28·5%) of six separate events held at a hotel in Singapore. Active case detection, case-control studies, hygiene inspections and microbial analysis of food, environmental and stool samples were conducted to determine the aetiology of the outbreak and the modes of transmission. The only commonality was the food, crockery and cutlery provided and/or handled by the hotel's Chinese banquet kitchen. Stool specimens from 34 cases and 15 food handlers were positive for norovirus genogroup II. The putative index case was one of eight norovirus-positive food handlers who had worked while they were symptomatic. Several food samples and remnants tested positive for Escherichia coli or high faecal coliforms, aerobic plate counts and/or total coliforms, indicating poor food hygiene. This large common-source outbreak of norovirus gastroenteritis was caused by the consumption of contaminated food and/or contact with contaminated crockery or cutlery provided or handled by the hotel's Chinese banquet kitchen.

Head injuries are very common in children. All over the world, the most common mechanism is fall. These injuries are more prevalent in developing countries due to lack of education, poverty, lack of standard and scientific ways to child upbringing. Penetrating injuries in pediatric patients is extremely uncommon and usually occur due to sharp objects like knife, screw driver, drills, nails. We are reporting a rare case of a child with penetrating head injury due to tea cup, very commonly used crockery in every house hold. To the best of our knowledge, no similar case has ever been reported in world literature. Our case also emphasized the need for educating people about child care.
