Diabetic foot is a known public health problem and a devastating complication of diabetes that is known to lead to amputation. Past decade has seen various new developments in field of diabetic foot. Amit Jain’s system of practice for diabetic foot is one new such development that was developed for improvising and standardization of diabetic foot. Various new concepts were laid down under this system, thereby creating a separate system that can be equated or considered to be a new religion in diabetic foot field.

Introduction: Diabetic mellitus is a chronic disorder which is rapidly raising, major public health problem. Having DM are more prone to multifarious complication like diabetic foot ulcer, which is highly susceptible to infection. Prevalence of bacterial flora in foot ulcer of this study population indicate current medical scenario of increased multidrug resistant diabetic foot infection, appropriate selection of antibiotic plays important role in DFU management increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance is a major factor for morbidity or mortality in DFU. The main objective of this study was to asses microbial sensitive resistance to antibiotic and also to know the drug utilisation of antibiotics in DFU. Method: A prospective observational study was carried out in 123 inpatients, after taking written informed consent from those met the study criteria. The study was done from October 2017 to march 2018 in surgery department. Patient case sheet were reviewed and assessed on daily basis. Culture report form and all other relevant data were collected to assess the utilisation of antibiotic, it’s sensitivity and resistant interaction, drug interactions and ADR were assessed by using Micromedex and other resources available in the department Result: In this study population, about 87(70.3%) patients were male and 36(29.27%) female. Mainly patients of age range 41-50 is 47(38.21%)followed by 51-60 is 33(26.83%)then 61-70 is 23(18.70%).Hospital Conclusion: Diabetic foot infections are real public health problem and early diagnosis along with appropriate treatments are essential. Different bacterial profiles and antibiotic sensitivity were found in different DFU. Clinician should try to stay updated in antibiotic sensitivity and resistant pattern of common pathogen in their area for better therapeutic outcome and to minimize medication errors. Keywords: Diabetic foot ulcer, sensitivity, resistant, utilization of antibiotics, therapeutic outcome.

Zusammenfassung. Kindesmisshandlung stellt einen bedeutenden Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung dar. Einzelne Formen von Kindesmisshandlung treten häufig nicht isoliert auf, sondern das gemeinsame Auftreten verschiedener Formen von Kindesmisshandlung stellt eher die Regel als die Ausnahme dar. Neben den langfristigen und vielfältigen individuellen Folgen führt Kindesmisshandlung jährlich zu einer hohen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Belastung. Die WHO hat Kindesmisshandlung als großes Public Health Problem identifiziert und die Vereinten Nationen haben den Kampf gegen Kindesmisshandlung zum Ziel in ihrer Agenda für nachhaltige Entwicklung gemacht. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Häufigkeit sowie das gemeinsame Auftreten unterschiedlicher Formen von Kindesmisshandlung sowie deren Assoziation mit psychischen und somatischen Folgen auf Basis einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe untersucht und dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen den Zusammenhang zwischen der Kumulation verschiedener Formen von Misshandlung und negativen Folgen für die Betroffenen. So ist das Risiko für negative Konsequenzen beim Erleben von vier oder mehr Formen von Misshandlung um das bis zu 10-fache erhöht. Viel zu selten werden die kumulativen Effekte von mehreren Belastungen berücksichtigt. Gerade weil die Wirkweisen über die Misshandlung, die Gesundheit beeinflusst, zunehmend gut untersucht sind, muss dieses Wissen im Gesundheitswesen stärker bei der Konzeption von Präventions- und Interventionsmaßnahmen berücksichtigt werden.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a contagious disease caused by the dengue virus and is transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti (Aa.aegypti). The population is still a public health problem that increases the number of sufferers and also widespread, with population and education. This study aims to reveal the spatial pattern and distribution of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) with the spatial pattern and the spread of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) can result in different locations of these allegations. From the map that can be used for the prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DBD) in Bandar Lampung City. This study aims to reveal the spatial pattern and distribution of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) with the descriptive method and spatial pattern of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) can result in different locations of these allegations.
