The hands of healthcare workers often transmit pathogens causing nosocomial infections. This study examined compliance with handwashing and glove use.A university-affiliated hospital.Compliance was observed covertly. Healthcare workers' demographics, hand hygiene facilities, indications for hygiene, use in each procedure, duration were recorded.Nine nurses 33 assistant physicians monitored during the study. One researcher recorded 1400 potential opportunities 15-minute observation periods....
Context: The term “asthma–chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap syndrome” (ACOS) has been applied to the condition, in which a person clinical features of both asthma and COPD.Methods: patients (N = 10) were presented our clinic with low lung function, limited reversibility airway obstruction, hyperinflation, abnormal body composition, dyspnea episodic wheezing. Based on laboratory findings, diagnosed ACOS. Patients’ serum IL-2 (sIL-2), sIL-4 sIL-6, sIL-10, sIL-17, sTNF-α...
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) which is an important part of all nosocomial infections in intensive care unit (ICU) a serious illness with substantial morbidity and mortality, increases costs hospital care. We aimed to evaluate risk factors for VAP adult ICU. This a-three year retrospective case-control study. The data were collected between 01 January 2000 31 December 2002. During the study period, 132 patients diagnosed as 731 medical-surgical ICU patients. Of these only 37...
To evaluate the impact of International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium (INICC) multidimensional approach on reduction ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in adult patients hospitalized 11 intensive care units (ICUs), from 10 hospitals, members INICC, cities Turkey.A prospective active before-after surveillance study was conducted to determine effect INICC VAP rate. The divided into two phases. In phase 1, using definitions Centers for Disease and Prevention National Health Safety...
ObjectivesDoripenem is a new carbapenem recently introduced into Europe. The COMParative Activity of Carbapenem Testing (COMPACT) study compared the susceptibility common Gram-negative bacilli causing serious infections in hospitalized patients with doripenem, imipenem and meropenem.
Device-associated healthcare-acquired infections (DA-HAI) pose a threat to patient safety, particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). We report results of International Infection Control Consortium (INICC) study conducted Turkey from August 2003 through October 2012. A DA-HAI surveillance 63 adult, paediatric ICUs and neonatal (NICUs) 29 hospitals, 19 cities using methods definitions U.S. NHSN INICC methods. collected prospective data 94,498 ICU patients for 647,316 bed days. Pooled...
Many studies associated nosocomial infections with increased hospital costs due to extra days in hospital, staff time, investigations and drug treatment. The cost of antibiotic treatment for these represents a significant part expenditure. This prospective observational study was designed determine the daily per infected adult patient Akdeniz University Hospital.All patients admitted ICUs between January 1, 2000, June 30, 2003 who had only one infection during their stay were included study....
Objective. To describe the incidence of device-associated nosocomial infections in medical-surgical intensive care units (MS ICUs) a university hospital Turkey and compare it with National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) system rates. Design. Prospective surveillance study during period 27 months. Device utilization ratios infection rates were calculated using US Centers for Disease Control Prevention NNIS definitions. Setting. Two separate MS ICUs at Akdeniz University Hospital,...
To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae isolated in Turkey as part Survey Of Antibiotic Resistance, a surveillance programme Africa Middle East region examining susceptibility key bacterial pathogens involved community-acquired respiratory tract infections (CARTIs). Susceptibility was evaluated against range agents using disc diffusion Etest methods. Six centres five cities collected 301 S. 379 H. isolates between...
With increasing numbers of HIV/AIDS patients, physicians, dentists, and nurses taking care these patients should have sufficient knowledge the disease, their attitude behaviour be proper. In our study, we aimed to examine level about among students from a medicine faculty, dentistry medical technology vocational training school, investigate attitudes behaviour, differences between first- last-year (if any) determine students' perception importance this disease for country world.This...
The aim of this study was to determine the distribution vancomycin and daptomycin MICs among methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) blood isolates, prevalence heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate S. (hVISA) relationship between hVISA MIC values.A total 175 MRSA isolates were collected from seven university hospitals in Turkey. All tested for susceptibility by reference broth microdilution (BMD) standard Etest method. BMD test performed according CLSI guidelines instructions...
Abstract The effect of “Kangal Hot Spring with Fish” in the treatment psoriasis is investigated. study was carried out on 87 patients vulgaris and were evaluated by a dermatologist for 21 days. evaluation disease performed using PASI (Psoriasis Area Severity Index) scores. Recurrences investigated patient population, who had been previously treated same hot spring. first examination scores significantly higher than 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 days after (p<0.01). Longer remission periods, when...
