Although about 80% of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases are reported to be mild, the remaining 20% often result in severe disease with potential crushing already overstrained health care services. There has been sustainable growth COVID-19 worldwide since mid-May 2020. To keep tabs on community transmission infection screening samples from a large population is needed which includes asymptomatic/symptomatic individuals along migrant population. This requires extra resources, man...
The ongoing spread of pandemic coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is growing concern. Rapid diagnosis and management SARS-CoV-2 are crucial for controlling the outbreak in community. Here, we report development a first rapid-colorimetric assay capable detecting human nasopharyngeal RNA sample less than 30 min.We utilized nanomaterial-based optical sensing platform to detect RNA-dependent polymerase gene SARS-CoV-2, where formation...
Knowledge of local antibiotic susceptibility rates is essential to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programs. DASH Protect Antibiotics (https://dashuti.com/), promotes the dissemination focused antibiograms in community urinary tract infection (UTI). This study mapped profile Klebsiella pneumoniae from 18 Indian centers. The centers spanned nine States and three Union Territories. Urinary K. outpatient clinic were collated analyzed. Standardization was achieved through online training....
Objective To evaluate the performance of a novel immunochromatographic card test (TRURAPID® O.K.N.V.I. RESIST-5) for rapid detection five carbapenemase enzymes in metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) producing organisms, compared to real-time PCR and an advanced expert system. Methods Isolated clinically 100 non-duplicates multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) expressing MBL production were tested using IC card, PCR, Vitek-2 Advanced Expert System (AES). Sensitivity, specificity,...
Objectives Elevated levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid have been observed patients diagnosed with cysticercus granuloma. These elevated significantly contribute to the onset symptoms, such as active seizures, neurocysticercosis (NCC). This study aimed compare correlate MMP-9 between NCC cases control subjects. Materials Methods In this prospective case-control study, 45 symptomatic 30 controls were enrolled. Serum measured using a commercially...
Background: An advancement in the field of menstrual management products is cup that act by collecting blood which needs to be emptied every 6 12 hours and can last for up 5 10 years, thereby decreasing environmental impact caused one-time use products. Thus, this research was conducted assess knowledge among young adult females about further spread awareness its as an environment friendly cost-effective device. Methods: The present study a cross-sectional descriptive Doon Hospital, Dehradun...
The choice of irrigating solution used in root canals primary teeth is complicated by their complex morphology and paucity associated literature. Propolis a natural product that has gained interest this context due to its antibacterial effectiveness against several endodontic pathogens.The present study was undertaken assess the potential water-soluble 25% propolis extract microorganisms during procedures.The child patients age group 4-7 years with radiographic evidence carious pulp exposure...
Background: Presently, many laboratories are equipped with automated system for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) minimum inhibitory concentration-based reporting which enables the clinician to choose right timely treatment of sepsis.The study aimed assess performance direct AST from blood culture positive broth using accuracy and time taken release report. Materials methods:The present conducted in a 25-bedded ICU North India 12 months.Single morphotype bacteria on gram stain...
Evidence-based prescribing is essential to optimise patient outcomes in cystitis. This requires knowledge of local antibiotic resistance rates. DASH Protect Antibiotics (https://dashuti.com/) a multicentric mentorship programme guiding centres preparing, analysing and disseminating antibiograms promote antimicrobial stewardship community UTI. Here we map the susceptibility profile Escherichia coli from 22 Indian centres. These spanned 10 States three Union Territories. Antibiograms for...
Current clinical guidelines for the management of symptoms suggesting urinary tract infection recommend empiric antibiotic therapy.To determine diagnostic accuracy early identification (UTI) in sexually active women when culture results are not available.This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted tertiary care hospital between July 2009 and May 2011. Subjects comprised 312 ≥ 18 year age who reported to physician with suggestive UTI. A predesigned questionnaire filled urine...
Enterococci, a family of important opportunistic pathogens, exhibits intrinsic resistance to number antimicrobial agents in addition acquired multidrug resistance. The present study was conducted determine whether enterococci at tertiary care hospital India exhibit high-level aminoglycoside and β-lactamase production. Enterococci were isolated from various clinical specimens identified phenotypically. High-level (HLR) gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin determined by disc diffusion tests....
Landmark-guided internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation is a basic procedure, which every anesthetist expected to acquire. A successful first attempt desirable as each increases the risk of complications. The present study an analysis 976 IJV cannulations performed in adults undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.The was cannulated with triple lumen catheter using anatomical landmarks. following data were recorded: Patient demographics, age, sex, body mass index, diagnosis, operative operator...
Owing to its accurate diagnosis, rapid turnaround time, cost effectivity, and less rates of error, Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time Flight (MALDI-TOF) has replaced most the phenotypic methods identification. Thus, objective this study was compare evaluate MALDI-TOF MS conventional biochemical-to identify bacterial microorganisms.Different species isolated from 2010 2018 (pre-MALDI-TOF era), using routine bio-chemicals were compared 2019 August 2021 (post MALDI-TOF),...
ABSTRACT Elizabethkingia spp . is a rare catalase and oxidase positive nonfermenting, Gram-negative Bacillus that has traditionally been linked to an array of illnesses in immunocompromised individuals. This case series reports seven cases meningoseptica infections from tertiary care teaching hospital. The subjects ranged age 23 75 years. Associated risk factors included recent history surgery, diabetes mellitus, renal failure, use mechanical ventilation, presence indwelling central line....
Background: Fast track approach is being followed by UNAIDS in order to achieve the aim of ending AIDS epidemic 2030. It important keep a check on new infections and gather information about HIV trends cases. This study was planned analyze socio-demographic details, associated high risk behaviours common routes transmission Methods: Data positive patients coming ICTC centre during period collected. The were counselled counsellor after taking informed consent. socio demographic details shared...
The risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTIs) from developed countries are not applicable to women developing world.To analyze the behavioral practices and psychosocial aspects pertinent in our region assess their association with acute first time or recurrent UTI.Sexually active premenopausal (145) (77) cystitis Escherichia coli as cases no prior history of UTI healthy controls (257) were enrolled at a tertiary care hospital India, between June 2011 February 2013.
