Common Region

The ankle is the most common region of the body to be injured in sport. However, injuries sustained at this site are commonly neglected, resulting in potentially significant long-term functional and structural sequelae.Effective prophylactic strategies to minimize ankle injuries in specific sports should be developed. Addressing modifiable risk factors should be an important aspect of conditioning regimes for most sports, and early recognition and management of injuries is vital for preventing the development of chronic pathology limiting the attainment of an athlete’s full potential....

Stroke is a major cerebrovascular disease causes high mortality and morbidity in people around the world. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability. The largest country in the middle East, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), has been occupying approximately four-fifths of the Arabian Peninsula supporting a population of more than 28 million. Stroke is getting to be a quickly expanding issue and is the leading cause of illness and deaths in Saudi Arabia. It is clear that researches and studies regarding the incidence, prevalence and their sociodemographic properties of stroke is still incomplete due to lack of present studies being conducted in these specified areas. This article aims to discuss the aspect of stroke in Saudi Arabia beside the effects of modifiable and the non-modifiable risk factors from the literature published.

OBJECTIVETo identify modifiable risk factors for acquisition ofKlebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (KPC) colonization among long-term acute-care hospital (LTACH) patients.DESIGNMulticenter, matched case-control study.SETTINGFour LTACHs in Chicago, Illinois.PARTICIPANTSEach case patient included in this study had a KPC-negative rectal surveillance culture on admission followed by a KPC-positive surveillance culture later in the hospital stay. Each matched control patient had a KPC-negative rectal surveillance culture on admission and no KPC isolated during the hospital stay.RESULTSFrom June 2012 to June 2013, 2,575 patients were admitted to 4 LTACHs; 217 of 2,144 KPC-negative patients (10.1%) acquired KPC. In total, 100 of these patients were selected at random and matched to 100 controls by LTACH facility, admission date, and censored length of stay. Acquisitions occurred a median of 16.5 days after admission. On multivariate analysis, we found that exposure to higher colonization pressure (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01–1.04;P=.002), exposure to a carbapenem (OR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.06–4.77;P=.04), and higher Charlson comorbidity index (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.01–1.29;P=.04) were independent risk factors for KPC acquisition; the odds of KPC acquisition increased by 2% for each 1% increase in colonization pressure.CONCLUSIONSHigher colonization pressure, exposure to carbapenems, and a higher Charlson comorbidity index independently increased the odds of KPC acquisition among LTACH patients. Reducing colonization pressure (through separation of KPC-positive patients from KPC-negative patients using strict cohorts or private rooms) and reducing carbapenem exposure may prevent KPC cross transmission in this high-risk patient population.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol2017;38:670–677

Background: Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) has been reported to occur in 25–60% of patients following surgeries for breast cancer, the highest occurring cancer in women worldwide. There has been much research interest due to this high prevalence. However, there is still a lack of incorporation of PMPS prevention strategies in standard perioperative plans, and our understanding of this condition is still incomplete. Objectives: This narrative review discusses recent literature on modifiable risk factors, current approaches to prevention and treatment and potential directions for future treatment and research. Methods: A PubMed search with the relevant keywords was done for articles published in the last 10 years. Results: The incidence of PMPS can be reduced by early recognition and management of modifiable risk factors as well as the perioperative use of analgesics and regional nerve blocks. These also have a significant role in the management of established PMPS together with surgical interventions and physical therapy. Conclusions: PMPS is still poorly defined and hence underdiagnosed and undertreated at this point. Perioperative peripheral nerve blocks have a very promising role as preventive analgesia to reduce the risk of developing PMPS, but large-scale randomised controlled studies will need to be done to evaluate their comparative efficacy. There is a need to prioritise PMPS prevention as a standard inclusion into the perioperative plans of mastectomy patients.

Abstract Background Risk factors control and secondary prevention measures are often reported to be suboptimal in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and may lead to worse clinical outcomes. We aimed to examine potentially modifiable risk factors in patients undergoing CABG and investigate their association with long-term coronary events. Methods Cardiovascular risk factors were recorded preoperatively in the setting of a cardiac catheterization laboratory and were analyzed in relation to long-term coronary events, defined as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or revascularization after CABG. Results Study population included 1,125 patients undergoing CABG without previous revascularization. Modifiable risk factors included hypertension (71%), hyperlipidemia (67%), diabetes (42%), obesity (28%), and smoking (21%). Only 8% did not have any of the five risk factors. During the mean follow-up of 93 ± 52 months after CABG, 179 patients (16%) experienced a coronary event. Incidence rates were higher in patients with than without the presence of each of the modifiable risk factors, except obesity. Active smoking (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: (1.07–2.13); p = 0.020), presence of diabetes (HR: 1.61; 95% CI: 1.18–2.18; p = 0.002), and hyperlipidemia (HR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.45–3.14; p < 0.001) were independent predictors of future coronary events after CABG; they also displayed a progressive stepwise increment in the risk of long-term coronary events when cumulatively present. Conclusions In patients undergoing CABG, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smoking, as documented preoperatively, were potentially modifiable risk factors that were independently and cumulatively associated with long-term risk of ACS or coronary revascularization, highlighting the importance of early identification and risk factors control for improving cardiovascular health after CABG.

ABSTRACT Sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction resulting from the host’s deleterious response to infection. One of the most common organs affected is the kidneys, resulting in sepsis associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) that contributes to the morbidity and mortality of sepsis. A growing body of knowledge has illuminated the clinical risk factors, pathobiology, response to treatment, and elements of renal recovery that have advanced our ability to prevent, detect, and treat SA-AKI. Despite these advances, SA-AKI remains an important concern and clinical burden, and further study is needed to reduce the acute and chronic consequences. This review summarizes the relevant evidence, with a focus on the risk factors, early recognition and diagnosis, treatment, and long term consequences of SA-AKI. In addition to literature pertaining to SA-AKI specifically, pertinent sepsis and acute kidney injury literature relevant to SA-AKI was included.

 Background: Stroke is the major public health burden and the second major cause of death worldwide. This disease is common in old age persons, however the disease can also be seen in young persons. Identifying the modifiable risk factors of stroke may have contribution in prevention.Objective: The retrospective study was done to study risk factors of stroke in adult patients.Method and Material: This is a hospital based retrospective study conducted in Department of Medicine, Nepalgunj Medical College and st th Teaching Hospital, Kohalpur from the period of 1 January 2015 to 30 October 2016. A total of 119 patients were involved in this study. The diagnosis was confirmed using CT scan after taking history and performing clinical examination. Patients were then evaluated for the presence of both non-modifiable as well as modifiable risk factors. The data analysis was done using SPSS 13.0.Results: The mean age of the patient was 59.76±11.22. Among the collected patients, the higher percentage were male in comparison to female. Ischemic Stroke was more common than hemorrhagic stroke in our study. Other conventional risk factors were as follows: Alcohol use75(63%),cigarette smoking 70(58.8%), hypertension 60 (50.4%),diabetes 11(9.2%),previous vascular event 9(7.6%), heart disease 4(3.4%).Conclusions: Ischemic stroke was more common than hemorrhagic stroke; with alcohol use followed by smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus being the most common modifiable risk factors. Incidence of stroke increases with the age and the early recognition and management of the risk factors might reduce this major public burden. JNGMC,  Vol. 14 No. 2 December 2016, Page: 53-55
