Methods: present was descriptive-analytical conducted 360 patients from different areas Khuzestan Province, Iran, with...
Complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing in the early phase of outbreak Iran showed two independent viral entries. Subsequently, as part a surveillance project, we aimed to characterize genetic diversity over one year after emerging.We provided 319 whole-genome sequences used monitor circulating lineages March 2020-May 2021 time interval.The temporal dynamics major clades/lineages is comparable global perspective and represent 19A clade (B.4) dominating first disease wave, followed by 20A...
The present study surveyed demographic and infection data which were obtained after open heart surgery (OHS) through patient's admission in Golestan teaching hospital, Ahvaz metropolitan city of Iran, taking into account the confirmed location infection, microorganism antibiotic susceptibility. occurrence among patients during 48 to 72 h hospital is definition Nosocomial infections (NIs) (Salmanzadeh et al., 2015) [1]. All them OHS chosen for this study. In paper, type catheter, fever,...
Pseudomonas luteola is an uncommon opportunistic pathogen. It recognized as cause of infections in underlying medical disorders. Infections caused by this microorganism are health care associated.The current study isolated P. from empyema a patient with tuberculous pleurisy, whose susceptibility to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole differed previous reports.P. resistant TMP-SMX, but the present case was susceptible TMP-SMX.
IntroductionOne of the most important threated for patient health in medical centers is medication errors.ObjectiveThe purpose this study was evaluation effects healthcare reform on refusing errors report by nurses educational hospital affiliated to Ahvaz Jundishapur University sciences during 2014–2015.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional conducted at Razi, Golestan Emam teaching (a tertiary-care hospital) southwest Iran. The present a study. Data about demographic characteristics...
