Background/Aims: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major complication after radical neck dissection (RND) in patients with head and cancer (HNC). We investigated the incidence, risk factors, etiology of SSI among who underwent RND. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed on HNC patients, excluding those thyroid cancer, first RND at teaching hospital between January 2006 June 2010. Medical records were collected analyzed to evaluate factors microbiological etiologies. Results:...
Unexpected diagnosis of synchronous second primary cancers (SPC) complicates physicians' decision-making because clinical details squamous esophageal cancer (EC) patients with SPC have been limited. We evaluated features and treatment outcomes detected during the initial staging EC.We identified a total 317 consecutive diagnosed EC. Relevant cancer-specific information were reviewed retrospectively.EC in 21 (6.6%). There significant differences median age (70 years vs. 63 years, p = 0.01),...
Background:The objective of this study was to examine the usefulness blood cultures and radiologic imaging studies for developing therapeutic strategies in community-acquired acute pyelonephritis (CA-APN) patients. Materials Methods:We prospectively collected clinical data CA-APN patients who visited 11 hospitals from March 2010 February 2011.Results: Positive urine were obtained 69.3% (568/820) 42.7% (277/648), respectively, a total 827 patients.Blood culture identified urinary pathogen 60...
The objectives of this study were to investigate antibiotic resistance in urinary pathogens from Korean patients with uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis (UAPN), and determine the effect fluoroquinolone (FQ) on clinical outcome those UAPN initially treated FQ. Clinical microbiologic data for all APN attending 14 hospitals South Korea 2008 collected retrospectively. Urinary identified 719 cases, Escherichia coli was most common pathogen (661/719, 91.9%). Antibiotic susceptibilities several E....
Colistin alone may not be sufficient for treating carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB); thus, efforts are needed to increase treatment success rates. We compared the effects of colistin plus carbapenem therapy versus monotherapy in pneumonia caused by CRAB and attempted identify specific populations or factors that could benefit from combination therapy.We retrospectively collected data on cases pneumonia. The patients were divided into groups. primary outcome was 14-day...
In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness and adverse reactions of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir molnupiravir in high-risk outpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).This multicenter prospective observational study evaluated rate hospitalization, death, events within 28 days oral antiviral agent prescription (molnupiravir, n = 240; nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, 240) 480 nonhospitalized adult patients COVID-19 from August 2, 2022 March 31, 2023.Patients receiving had a higher...
With increase of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli in community-acquired urinary tract infections (CA-UTI), other treatment option with a therapeutic efficacy and low antibiotic selective pressure is necessary. In this study, we evaluated vitro susceptibility E. isolates from CA-UTI to fosfomycin (FM), nitrofurantoin (NI), temocillin (TMO) as well trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (SMX), ciprofloxacin (CIP) cefepime (FEP). The minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined by E-test or...
Immunogenicity and Safety of Diphtheria-tetanus Vaccine in AdultsThis study was conducted to evaluate the immunogenicity safety diphtheriatetanus (Td) vaccine adults over 40 yr old who had never received a diphtheria-tetanuspertussis (DTP) vaccination.A total 242 subject completed three-doses Td vaccination subsequent assays for immunogenicity.Before vaccination, 33.9% 96.7% participants showed antibody levels diphtheria tetanus, respectively, which were below protective level (<0.1...
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter Trial The efficacy and safety of ertapenem, 1 g once daily, were compared with that ceftriaxone, 2 for the treatment adults acute pyelonephritis (APN) complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) in a prospective, multicenter, doubleblinded, randomized study.After ≥ 3 days parenteral study therapy, patients could be switched to an oral agent.Of 271 who initially stratified by APN (n = 210) or other cUTIs 61), 66 (48.9%) ertapenem group 71 (52.2%)...
Objective The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) bacteremia treated colistin monotherapy and those plus meropenem. Methods We retrospectively evaluated data from 71 CRAB November 2006 February 2018. Predictors 14-day mortality were determined through logistic regression analysis. Results Our cohort included 40 (44.6 %) 31 (55.4 Overall tended be higher rather than combination therapy (47.5% vs 25.8%)....
Escherichia coli is the predominant causative pathogen for community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTIs), and increase in fluoroquinolone-resistant E. of great concern Korea. The objectives this study were to investigate genotypic characteristics molecular epidemiology ciprofloxacin-resistant (CIP-R) isolated from UTIs Korea.E. samples blood or urine collected patients with acute pyelonephritis aged 15 years more who admitted 12 Korean hospitals 1st April 2010 29th February 2012....
Differentiation of postoperative neck abscess from non-infected fluid is important because the treatment different.To determine specific CT findings that might help to differentiate abscesses collections in neck.We retrospectively reviewed scans 50 patients (43 men and 7 women; mean age, 62.5 ± 8.9 years) who had (26 24 collections). Diagnosis an was determined by a positive bacteria culture collection. Diagnoses were correlated with following findings: anatomic spaces involved, maximum...
We developed a new endoscopic biopsy training simulator and determined its efficacy for improving the skills of beginners.This simulator, which presents seven sites, was constructed using readily available materials. enrolled 40 participants: 14 residents, 11 first-year clinical fellows, 10 second-year five staff members. recorded simulation completion time all participants, then performance assessed via questionnaire 7-point Likert scale.The mean times completing trials were 417.7±138.8,...
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is known to be one of the causes viral hepatitis, but its association with cholecystitis rare. Cholestasis by EBV-induced hepatitis might a cause acute in all recently reported cases. In contrast, we experienced case 20-year-old woman who was infected EBV and presented without cholestasis.
서 론 효과적인 수술의 예방적 항생제 사용에 대한 필요성은 크게 두 가지 요인으로 집약된다.첫 번째는 내성 문 제가 전 세계적으로 증가한다는 점이다.이 문제는 여러 가 지 양상으로 나타나고 원인도 매우 복잡하지만 과 다이용을 선택적으로 조절하는 것이 중요한 역할을 한다.두 번째 요인은 경제적 비용 절감과 수술부위 감염 예방을 통한 질 보장이 동시에 요구된다는 점이다 [1,2].우리나라 전체 입원서비스 사용량 중 반 이상을 외과와 산부 인과가 차지한다는 점을 감안하면, 적정 수준의 수술 예방 적 사용을 통해 예방과 절감을 기 대할 수 있다 [3].예방적
