<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> Infections play a key role in the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have been associated with specific clinical features disease severity. The variation GBS across geographical regions has suggested to be related differences distribution preceding infections, but this not studied on large scale. <h3>Methods</h3> We analyzed first 1,000 patients included International Outcome Study available biosamples (n = 768) for presence recent infection...
In a highly publicized joint report, the National Academy of Engineering and Institute Medicine recently recommended systematic application systems engineering approaches for reforming our health care delivery system. For this to happen, medical professionals managers need understand appreciate power that concepts tools can bring redesigning improving environments practices. To present discuss fundamental important parallels between engineering, services, implementation research as it...
'Negligence of Physicians' and 'Wrong Treatment' have become commonly-used phrases in print electronic media Bangladesh, while violence against healthcare workers has always been under-reported. Unfortunately, there is little evidence regarding physical workers, no data on the magnitude psychological violence. The objective this study was to quantify explore workplace health sector Bangladesh guide future research adopt preventive policies. Majority (96%, n = 54) cases were nature 91% (n 51)...
The efficient utilization and management of a scarce resource such as the intensive care unit (ICU) is critical to smooth functioning hospital. This study investigates impact set operational policies on ICU behavior performance. Specifically, implemented are (a) wait time thresholds how long patients can for an bed, (b) windows during which patient discharges transfers take place, (c) different mix combinations. average waiting beds admission ratio, ratio admitted total bed requests,...
Abstract Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute polyradiculoneuropathy in which preceding infections often elicit the production of antibodies that target peripheral nerve antigens, principally gangliosides. Anti-ganglioside are thought to play a key role clinical diversity disease and can be helpful practice. Extensive research into associations individual anti-ganglioside antibody specificities has been performed. Recent highlighted glycolipid complexes, combinations may alter binding, as...
The increasing demand for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds requires efficient admission, discharge, and care processes. These efforts require predictions of Length Stay (LOS) values; however, it is unclear how accurate these need to be. This study investigates the relationship between accuracy level LOS operational performance indicators. A discrete event simulation model developed ICU patient flows. linear function actual simulated values used measure predictions. Multiple configurations mix...
A 50-years old male presented with quadriplegia and paresthesia was diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). He found positive for severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) six weeks prior to the onset of weakness. GBS disability score 4. Electrophysiology showed inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG positive. Immunological tests Campylobacter jejuni, Zika virus, Hepatitis E Herpes Simplex Haemophilus influanzae Mycoplasma pneumoniae were negative....
Emergency department overcrowding has become a major issue over the past decade. This research investigates emergency resulting ambulance divert. Patient flow models of were developed using Petri Nets. The objective these is two-fold, to analyze patient in and assist determining minimum sequence events leading hospital from desirable operating state divert states. A two-phase mixed-integer programming formulation was used generate set events. an on-going research, results this paper shall be...
Abstract Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in children. The objective this study was to investigate preceding infections, clinical, serological and electrophysiological characteristics outcome childhood GBS Bangladesh. We included 174 patients with aged <18 years from a prospective cohort Bangladesh between 2010 2018. performed multivariate logistic regression determine risk factors for poor outcome. Among children GBS, 74% (n = 129) were...
<b>Introduction:</b> Predicting disease progression and mortality in COPD is difficult, however some prediction tools exist (e.g. Gold Standard Framework [GSF]). There evidence that patients with would prefer not to die hospital, the proportion of dying at home our locality lower than national/regional average. This project sought identify inpatients last 12 months life allow more out hospital. <b>Methods:</b> A 'GSF Multi-disciplinary Team' consisting community secondary care staff was...
Background Pain is a serious manifestation in both the acute and chronic stages of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). We evaluated frequency, characteristics associated factors pain its impact on quality life (QoL) among patients with GBS. Methods enrolled 644 GBS from prospective cohort studies Bangladesh conducted between 2010 2024. Data were collected at enrolment standard follow-up time points up to 26 weeks. intensity was measured by numeric rating scale. Group differences tested using χ²...
Background: Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of deaths in children under 5 for last few decades. Development seizure those common and associated with increased risk deaths. We therefore investigated prevalence, factors outcome hospitalized pneumonia. Methods: conducted a retrospective chart analysis intensive care unit Dhaka Hospital icddr,b. Children World Health Organization (WHO) classified clinical (excluding as 1 diagnostics) radiologic pneumonia, admitted to at icddr,b between...
Nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD) proteins are cytoplasmic receptors that play important roles in host innate immune responses to pathogens by recognizing self or non-self-molecules and have been implicated many autoimmune diseases including Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The current study investigated whether NOD polymorphisms (NOD1-Glu266Lys, rs2075820, NOD2- [Arg702Trp, rs2066844 Gly908Arg, rs2066845]) contribute ligand sensing thus affect the susceptibility and/or severity of...
INTRODUCTION: Collagenous colitis is a disorder of chronic watery diarrhea. It has 2 main histologic forms. characterized by normal appearance the colon on colonoscopy but abnormal histology. more likely to occur in elderly women and smokers been associated with certain medications such as NSAIDs, PPIs, Antipsychotics. Our case report demonstrates importance medication reconciliation when working patients up for diarrhea, supports fact that medications, those mentioned above can cause...
