...Despite the reduction in infections generally, the proportion of all hospital-based bacterial infections caused by MRSA increased, by 26% over the same time period. Approximately 64% of ICU staph infections can now be traced to MRSA, according to an earlier survey conducted by the CDC. That means that the risk of bacterial infection for an ICU patient who has been given a catheter or central line is smaller than it was a decade ago, but if he or she does get an infection, it's more likely to involve an antibiotic-resistant strain of MRSA.

...current study does not detail why bacterial infections are occurring less frequently than before, but Burton speculates that it may be a result of greater vigilance on the part of both hospitals and state health departments in detecting and controlling the spread of MRSA. During the 10-year study period, improved methods of inserting catheters, shorter leave-in times for catheters, as well as improved hygiene and isolation practices have all become more routine. The goal now is to further reduce the risk of MRSA in vulnerable populations by identifying them early on: according to the Association for Professionals...

The shot differential transpired entirely in the second and third periods, ironically the same time as when Harvard leapt ahead on the scoreboard. The somewhat oppositional statistics may be justified by the Crimson’s superb defense, which killed all seven of Cornell’s power play opportunities of the game. Anchoring Harvard’s defensive efforts was sophomore goaltender Ryan...
