An operating room is potential in causing nosocomial infection in a hospital, especially due to surgical wound infections. Nosocomialinfection raises the length of day care and disease transmission risk. According to Permenkes No. 1204/Menkes/SK/X/2004, the operatingroom is a highly infection risk area. The aim of this study is to know the determination of the amount of bacterial colonies count, andthe sensitivity identification pattern of pathogenic bacteria in the central operating rooms at the Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital.A cross sectional study was done by taking air samples using a Microbiology Air Sampler 100 in six central operating rooms in Dr.Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Counting bacterial colonies, identifying pathogenic bacteria and sensitivity test were done at the BalaiBesar Laboratorium Kesehatan Makassar (from May to June 2010). The result of the study shows that the amount of bacterial coloniesfound were approximately 148–440 CFU/m3 aerobic pathogenic bacteria consisting of Alcaligenes faecalis and Serratia liquefacienswhich were sensitive to sulbactam+ cefoperazone, gentamycin, levofloxacin but resistant to ampicillin, nitrofurantoin, clindamycin andmetronidazole. The researchers concluded that the amount of bacterial colonies found exceeded the Permenkes standard. The pathogenicbacteria were sensitive to sulbactam+ cefoperazone, gentamycin and levofloxacin however, resistant to ampicillin, nitrofurantoin,clindamycin, and metronidazole.

Nosocomial infection is an infection acquired in hospitals, which occur more frequently in poor and developing countries such as Indonesia, one percent of the related cases leads to death. The occurrence of nosocomial infection causes the lengthening of hospitalization and increased risk of disease transmission. According to Permenkes No. 1204/Menkes/SK/X/2004, the Emergency Room is one of the high-risk areas. The objectives of this research were to quantify the number of aerobic bacteria, to know the identification method of the pathogenic bacteria and to determine the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern in the emergency installation. A cross sectional study was performed by collecting air samples at eleven treatment rooms of the Emergency installation in dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar by using Microbiology Air Sampler 100 (MAS 100). The bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tests (AST) were conducted at the Balai Besar Laboratorium Kesehatan Makassar (July to September 2009). The number of bacterial colonies were 288–6570 CFU/m3. Pathogenic bacteria identified in the study were Stomatococcus mucilaginous, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, which were still sensitive to tetracycline and resistant to ceftazidim and kanamycin.The number of bacterial colonies exceeded the standard number established by the Decree of Indonesian Health Minister

Pathogenic bacteria are the major causes of airborne infection at the hospital ward. Nosocomial infection can occur at the opened as well as at the closed room. Nosocomial infection influences the morbidity and mortality in the hospital and need an extra attention, because of the increased number of hospital patients, micro organism mutation and increased of bacteria resistance to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to quantify the number of aerobic bacteria, and to know the pathogenic bacteria identification and its determination on the susceptibility of the antimicrobial problems at the internal medicine ward. This research was carried by a cross sectional study, which performed by collecting air samples in eight internal medicine ward of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital using Microbiology Air Sampler 100 (MAS 100). The bacterial identification and the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) were conducted at the Balai Besar Laboratorium Kesehatan (July to August 2009). In this study were found the numbers of bacteria colonies about 580–6040 CFU/m3. The pathogenic bacteria that identified were Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Staphylococcus saprohpyticus, Enterobacter hafniae and Stomatococcus mucilaginosus that were sensitive to Amikasin, Gentamicyn, Azitromycin and Norfloxacyn but resistant to Ampicillin. The number of bacterial colonies exceeded the established number standard by Decree of the Indonesian Health Minister. The pathogenic bacteria showed the most sensitive result of AST were Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Enterobacter hafniae, Stomatococcus mucilaginosus and Staphylococcus saprohpyticus.

Inappropriate Use

Inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in ambient air. There is no published information about the presence and resistance profiles of bacteria in ambient air in Ghana. We evaluated the presence and antibiotic resistance profiles of selected bacterial, environmental and meteorological characteristics and airborne bacterial counts in 12 active air quality monitoring sites (seven roadside, two industrial and three residential) in Accra in February 2020. Roadside sites had the highest median temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and PM10 concentrations, and median airborne bacterial counts in roadside sites (115,000 CFU/m3) were higher compared with industrial (35,150 CFU/m3) and residential sites (1210 CFU/m3). Bacillus species were isolated in all samples and none were antibiotic resistant. There were, however, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas species, non-hemolytic Streptococci, Coliforms and Staphylococci species, of which six (50%) showed mono-resistance or multidrug resistance to four antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone). There was a positive correlation between PM10 concentrations and airborne bacterial counts (rs = 0.72), but no correlations were found between PM10 concentrations and the pathogenic bacteria nor their antibiotic resistance. We call for the expansion of surveillance of ambient air to other cities of Ghana to obtain nationally representative information.

AbstractIntroductionMedical students are mainly exposed to needle stick and sharp object injuries in the course of their clinical activities during studying. They are at high risk due to their undeveloped skills, restricted clinical experience, lack of knowledge and risk perception. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of needle stick injuries of the fourth and final year medical students, and to estimate their knowledge about blood-borne pathogens disease transmission and standard precautions.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Medicine, in February 2014. The students were invited to self-administer a questionnaire of 26 closed questions prepared for this study.ResultsThe questionnaire was filled in and returned by 637 students. The prevalence of needle sticks and sharp object injuries was 29.5%. Needle stick injuries were the most common type of accidents, more frequent among the fourth compared to the sixth year students (p=0.002). The majority of accidents occurred in patient rooms (53%) and the emergency department (15%). 54% of participants reported an accident to the responsible person. Students without accidents had a significantly better perception of risk (3.79 vs. 3.35; p<0.05). Out of the total participating students, only 16.6% (106/637) received all three doses of Hepatitis B vaccination, while 16.2% were partially vaccinated.ConclusionsThere is a need for additional theoretical and practical education of our students on blood exposure via accidents, raising the awareness of the necessity of hepatitis B vaccination, and introducing the unique/comprehensive procedure for accident reporting for students and healthcare workers in the entire country.

Background: The fast and outpatient setting for a determination of the hemoglobin (Hb) level is a well-recognized prerequisite to detect anemia in blood donors. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the HemoCue methods (HemoCue B-Hb and HemoCue-301) against Coulter LH-750 as a reference method for Hb determination.Methods: This study was an experimental cross-sectional study. It includes 455 blood samples that were collected from volunteer blood donors between January 15, 2010 and February 15, 2011. The performance of the three methods and their comparisons were assessed using the analysis of coefficients of variation (CV), linear regression, and mean difference. Correlation coefficient and Bland–Altman plots were drawn to compare the two HemoCue measurements and the automated cell analyzer against each other and to evaluate their results. The Hb concentrations were compared using the concordance correlation coefficient.Results: The findings exhibited that the CV for the three methods Coulter LH-750, HemoCue B-Hb, and HemoCue-301 were 0.60%, 0.72%, and 0.92%, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed between the means of the Hb measurements for the three methods (p<0.001). The HemoCue B-Hb and HemoCue-301 methods showed the best agreement, and the Coulter LH-750 method gave a lower Hb value compared with the two HemoCue methods. The results showed a positive correlation of HemoCue Hb results compared with the reference method.Conclusion: All three methods provide a good agreement for Hb determination. The new device HemoCue-301 was found to be more accurate compared with HemoCue B-Hb and Coulter LH-750.

***Determination of glycemic index and glycemic load of hospital diets served for diabetics***   AIMS: To determine the glycemic index and the glycemic load of diets usually offered by hospitals to patients with diabetes mellitus.   METHODS: A cross-sectional study evaluated menus served to diabetic inpatients of hospitals in the city of Curitiba, Parana, Brazil. Analyzing the menus, we determined the energy content, macronutrients, glycemic index and glycemic load of the meals offered to the patients.    RESULTS: Five general hospitals of the city participated in the study and 10 menus for diabetes were evaluated. The structure of the menus was different mainly in the quantitative supply of fruits and milk. Diets ranged from 1317.6 to 2013.2 kcal, with 18.9 to 27.6% of proteins, 21.9 to 29.4% of lipids, 48.2 to 53.3% of carbohydrates and 24.7 to 33.6 g of fibers. Daily glycemic index ranged from 47 to 57% and daily glycemic load from 81 to 109%.   CONCLUSIONS: All offered diets were hyperproteic, normolipid and normoglicidic. However, inadequate levels of glycemic load were observed in all the evaluated menus, although with adequate levels of glycemic index. It is necessary to review the diet plans elaborated for diabetics, aiming at the best dietary treatment for this population.

Benign Thyroid

This descriptive, cross-sectional study investigated problems experienced by patients after undergoing a thyroidectomy. The study included 60 first-time, post-thyroidectomy patients diagnosed with benign thyroid disease from a university hospital’s general surgery clinic in Ankara, Turkey. The data were collected in two stages: interviews with patients on the first day following surgery and postoperative follow-up telephone interviews in each of the first 4 weeks following surgery. The follow-ups revealed that patients principally experienced varying degrees of pain and difficulties in connection with work and recreation, communication, body image, and movement, for up to 4 weeks after surgery. These results showed that patients were particularly prone to problems on the first day and during the first week of the postoperative period; therefore, patients should be provided with follow-up telephone interviews to facilitate easier recovery and to help them overcome any problems experienced during the postoperative period.
