Real-world testing of the durability claims of a commercially available spray-on surface biocide

Shilpa Saseendran Nair, Alana Cavadino, Simon Swift, Siouxsie Wiles

This study tests the 30-day durability claim of a spray-on biocide in a real-world lab setting and finds it ineffective at preventing microbial contamination under routine cleaning conditions.

Genome-wide association study of offspring birth weight in 86,577 women highlights maternal genetic effects that are independent of fetal genetics

Robin N. Beaumont, Nicole M. Warrington, Alana Cavadino, Jessica Tyrrell, Michael Nodzenski, Momoko Horikoshi, Frank Geller, Ronny Myhre, Rebecca Claire Richmond, Lavinia Paternoster, Jonathan P. Bradfield, Eskil Kreiner‐Møller, Ville Huikari, Sarah Metrustry, Kathryn L. Lunetta, , Rachel M. Freathy
