The impact of hospital acquired infections with multidrug-resistant bacterial…

To describe overall site-specific Hospital acquired infections (HAI) rates, and to describe the microbiological and antibiotic resistance profiles of infecting pathogens, together with their impact on multidrug-resistant bacteria-associated mortality.

Rumah sakit sebagai tempat perawatan dan penyembuhan pasien, ternyata rentan terjadinya infeksi penyakit, begitu pula yang terjadi di RSPI Prof. Dr. Sulianti Saroso. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya penelitian jumlah dan jenis kuman di lingkungan RSPI-SS. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan pendekatan cross selection. Jenis kuman yang akan diteliti adalah kuman yang terdapat p…

Bacterial contamination of inanimate surfaces and equipment in the intensive …

Intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infections are a challenging health problem worldwide, especially when caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. In ICUs, inanimate surfaces and equipment (e.g., bedrails, stethoscopes, medical charts, ultrasound machine) may be co taminated by bacteria, including MDR isolates. Cross-transmission of microorganisms from inanimate surfaces may have a sign…

Hospital hygiene and infection control

Management of health-care waste is an integral part of hospital hygiene and infection control. Health-care waste should be considered as a reservoir of pathogenic microorganisms, which can cause contamination and give rise to infection. If waste is inadequately managed, these microorganisms can be transmitted by direct contact, in the air, or by a variety of vectors.

Classification of Infections in Intensive Care Units: A Comparison of Current…

The rate of nosocomial infection appears to depend on whether it is calculated using the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or carrier state criteria. The objective of this study was to differentiate between primary endogenous (PE), secondary endogenous (SE) and exogenous (EX) infections, and to compare this classification with CDC criteria for nosocomial infections.

Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions — increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels — that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes

Facts About Metabolic Diseases of Muscle

Metabolic diseases of muscle were first recognized in the second half of the 20th century. Each of these disorders is caused by a different genetic defect that impairs the body’s metabolism, the collection of chemical changes that occur within cells during normal functioning.

Primary sarcoma of the lung: A very rare diagnosis and poor prognosis

Primary lung sarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor, accounting for less than 0.5% of all lung tumors. We describe the case of a 50-year-old man who presented with primary pulmonary sarcoma. X-ray chest and thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed a 40 mm Χ 60 mm mass in the right upper lobe. Biopsy was reported as fusiform sarcoma. Extensive clinical examination, followed by full body CT sc…

Pneumothorax in active pulmonary tuberculosis: resurgence of an old complicat…

With the recent resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) in western countries, the incidence of complicating secondary pneumothorax has also increased. The work-up and management of this complication differs from that in other types of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP).
