Abstract

Contains fulltext : 177987.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs) have been promoted to optimize antimicrobial usage and patient outcomes, and to reduce the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant organisms. However, the best strategies for an ASP are not definitively established and are likely to vary based on local culture, policy, and routine clinical practice, and probably limited resources in middle-income countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate structures and resources of antimicrobial stewardship teams (ASTs) in surgical departments from different regions of the world. METHODS: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted in 2016 on 173 physicians who participated in the AGORA (Antimicrobials: A Global Alliance for Optimizing their Rational Use in Intra-Abdominal Infections) project and on 658 international experts in the fields of ASPs, infection control, and infections in surgery. RESULTS: The response rate was 19.4%. One hundred fifty-six (98.7%) participants stated their hospital had a multidisciplinary AST. The median number of physicians working inside the team was five [interquartile range 4-6]. An infectious disease specialist, a microbiologist and an infection control specialist were, respectively, present in 80.1, 76.3, and 67.9% of the ASTs. A surgeon was a component in 59.0% of cases and was significantly more likely to be present in university hospitals (89.5%, p < 0.05) compared to community teaching (83.3%) and community hospitals (66.7%). Protocols for pre-operative prophylaxis and for antimicrobial treatment of surgical infections were respectively implemented in 96.2 and 82.3% of the hospitals. The majority of the surgical departments implemented both persuasive and restrictive interventions (72.8%). The most common types of interventions in surgical departments were dissemination of educational materials (62.5%), expert approval (61.0%), audit and feedback (55.1%), educational outreach (53.7%), and compulsory order forms (51.5%).

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 154431.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access), In the last two decades there have been dramatic changes in the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), with increases in incidence and severity of disease in many countries worldwide. The incidence of CDI has also increased in surgical patients. Optimization of management of C difficile, has therefore become increasingly urgent. An international multidisciplinary panel of experts prepared evidenced-based World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines for management of CDI in surgical patients.

Abstract

Objective: Metabolic diseases have a profound effect on the structure and function of the retinal circulation. The aim of the study was to find out the influence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its individual components on retinal microvascular complications and its association with serum uric acid level. Method: An observational cross sectional study was performed. 150 subjects were selected in the study.50 cases were of MS based on modified national cholesterol program adult treatment panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria (the cut off for the waist circumference was taken as per international diabetes federation for southeast asians), 50 cases were having less than three components of MS and 50 were age and sex matched healthy controls. Serum uric acid level was measured by uricase method. Hyperuricemia was defined as ≥7 mg/dl for males and ≥6 mg/dl for females. Indirect ophthalmoscopy was performed to find out retinal microvascular complications. Result: Cases with MS had more prevalence of retinal microvascular complications and retinopathy than hypertension and diabetes alone (p < 0.000). Cotton wool spots, flame shaped hemorrhages, dot and blot hemorrhages, microaneurysms and av nicking were common findings. Retinopathy was present in 42% cases in MS group and 8% cases in less than three components group. 65.62% of cases with hyperuricemia had retinopathy. Cases with retinopathy had significantly higher uric acid levels than controls (7.0647 ± 0.4675 vs. 2.7966 ± 0.5843). 76.19% of cases with retinopathy had hyperuricemia in MS group. Prevalence of retinopathy was higher in males (68.42%) as compared to females (25.80%). Conclusion: It is concluded that there is a direct association of MS components with retinal microvascular complications. There was synergistic effect of MS on retinal microvascular changes beyond its individual components. Incidence of retinopathy was higher in patients with hyperuricemia than normouricemic patients.
