When you check into any hospital, you trust your room is clean. But at Trinity Health, it is now cleaner than ever before. Perry Olson shows us why in this week's Eye on Health. Could this new microfiber mop really make a big difference at Trinity Hospital? Well...yes... (Amy Moen - Trinity Foundation Director) "One of the things we have found is that the majority of our injuries are employee lifts." And with old mops lifting heavy buckets was a problem for some housekeeping employees...but they are now a tool of the past microfiber is in...it is easier to use has a longer life and most important...cleaner. Water goes on the floor...and back to the new mop not a bucket. (Leona Lochthowe - Trinity Housekeeping Supervisor) "This way we are using what we are using. We are not dumping back into the sewer system and then the mop picks it up and carries it away." It is better for the patient because the rooms are cleaner. More time can be spent actually cleaning because prep time has decreased... (Leona Lochthowe - Trinity Housekeeping Supervisor) "We were changing the water out every three rooms. So that mop stayed with us all day long. With the microfiber we are changing each room so we have a clean mop everytime we come into a room." It is certainly a simple change...but one that was needed....and appreciated... (Amy Moen - Trinity Foundation Director) "Our housekeeping staff are working behind the scenes and don't get many pats on the back. Finally they got a piece of equipment that is making a difference and we think they are happier and aren't working as hard as they have been." The Trinity Foundation helped secure funding to help pay for the 34 thousand dollar switch this year. With your Eye on Health, Perry Olson, KX News. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KXMC CBS Bismarck North ]

North Dakota has recorded its lowest summer count of human West Nile cases since the virus was found in the state seven years ago. Only one human case was confirmed by the state Health Department, and the West Nile threat is over because freezing temperatures this fall have killed the mosquitoes that transmit the disease. Michelle Feist (FYST) is the Health Department's West Nile virus surveillance coordinator. She says having only one human case of West Nile is unusual. She says there likely were several reasons, including the weather and people taking more precautions. The highest human case total in North Dakota was 617 in 2003.

South African President Jacob Zuma has vowed to strengthen the fight against AIDS in the world's worst affected country, a marked departure from the policies of his predecessor Thabo Mbeki who led a much-criticised policy of denial of the AIDS and HIV epidemic. Some critics have even called for Mbeki to be tried for genocide for his lack of action. The fight against the disease has now been stepped up with two new trials showing positive results.
