In my experiences living and studying abroad in Germany, those that got the most of their time were those students who used their time outside the classroom to learn more about Germany as well. In order to understand a location and really feel immersed into the culture, it's crucial to get outside of the classroom.
Antisepsis Antisepsis is the prevention or inhibition of an infection by either killing the organism responsible for the infection, or weakening the organism so that it is unable to cause the infection or survive.
By the 1940s, advances in surgical antisepsis (now called aseptic technique) and the science of wound infection led to the adoption of antiseptic drapes and gowns for operating room use. Instruments, supplies and dressings were routinely sterilized by exposure to either high-pressure steam or ethylene oxide.
