Background: Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is defined as pain associated with erythema, induration, local tenderness, pus discharge or any culturepositive or negative discharge from a surgically created wound. Methods: Hospital based Descriptive type of Observational study conducted on Patients in the department of Orthopaedics. Results: Total 5.00% patients have wound infection. Gram positive 80.00% patients have found with Staph. Aureus and Gram negative 20.00%patients have found with Pseudomonas. Conclusion: Infection in closed fractures with implants was quite high. The adverse outcome of SSIs related to a clean orthopedic surgical procedure can be associated with significant morbidity, cost, and even mortality. Keywords: Infection, SSI, Fracture

Pemphigus vulgaris are autoimmune blistering diseases that may result in significant morbidity and death. Immunosuppressive therapy of pemphigus vulgaris would predispose the patients to infections. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence ofS. aureusinfection andPVLgene in patients with pemphigus admitted to dermatology clinic.Materials and Methods. This descriptive study was conducted on 196 pemphigus vulgaris patients (119 males, 77 females) admitted to dermatology clinic between 2014 and 2015. In this study, the diagnosis of pemphigus vulgaris was made by histology, immunofluorescence pattern of perilesional skin, and indirect immunofluorescence testing of serum. Data were collected through a questionnaire.Results. 59.1% of pemphigus vulgaris patients hadS. aureusinfection. 49 out of 116 were methicillin-resistant.PVLgene was detected in 25 out of 116S. aureuspositive patients.Conclusion. This is the first report ofS. aureusinfection in pemphigus patients in Iran. More than forty percent of isolates were methicillin-resistantS. aureus.PVLgene carried by methicillin-resistantS. aureuswas high in this study.

Objective: The objective of the present study, A Descriptive study on Hypertensive Crisis inVisakhapatnam, India was to evaluate the modes of presentations, clinical profile, and spectrum oftarget organ damage in patients with hypertensive emergencies. Material and Methods: The studypopulation included patients admitted in this hospital with severely elevated blood pressure withclinical or laboratory evidence of acute target organ damage. Result: The clinical and laboratoryprofile of 50 of these patients were evaluated. Males had higher chances of developing ahypertensive emergency compared to females. The commonest presenting symptoms were chestpain, dyspnoea, and neurological deficit. The majority of the patients have known hypertensives.Higher levels of blood pressure at presentation were associated with an adverse outcome. Acute LVFwas the commonest target organ damage observed. In-hospital mortality of 14% was observed inthe present study. Conclusion: Known hypertensives are at a higher risk of presenting with acutetarget organ damage associated with chest pain. Acute LVF is the commonest form of target organdamage encountered in the present study.

Orthopedic implant failure is the most common complication of orthopedic surgery, causing serious trauma and resulting in a tremendous economic burden for patients. There are many reasons for implant failure, among which peri-implant infection (or implant-related infection) and aseptic loosening are the most important. At present, orthopedic doctors have many methods to treat these complications, such as revision surgery, which have shown good results. However, if peri-implant infection can be prevented, this will bring about significant social benefits. Many studies have focused on adding antibacterial substances to the implant coating, and with a deeper understanding of the mechanism of implant failure, adding such substances by different modification methods has become a research hot spot. This review aims to summarize the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory substances that can be used as coating materials in orthopedic implants and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of implant failure caused by implant-related infection and excessive inflammation.

BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative bacteria and has been known for its role in causing gastric infection aused diseases such as gastric ulcer. H. pylori also implied to play a role in chronic tonsillitis, but this theory remains controversial. Many researches have different and contradictory results due to difficulty to accurately detect H. pylori in tonsillar tissue. There is still no appropriate method that able to detect H. pylori in tonsil tissue. AIM: The aim of the study was to detect H. pylori colonization in chronic tonsillitis and understand some of the methods of examination that can be done to detect H. pylori in tonsillar tissue. METHODS: This study is a descriptive study conducted on 25 respondents. Each sample was taken from patients with chronic tonsillitis who underwent tonsillectomy. Then, the rapid urease test (RUT) and the Giemsa modification staining were carried out to determine the presence of H. pylori. RESULTS: There were 19 people (76%) positive and 6 people (24%) negative for H. pylori using RUT. On examination with Giemsa modification staining obtained 19 people (76%) positive and 6 people (24%) negative for H. pylori. CONCLUSION: H. pylori can be found in most of chronic tonsillitis. Combination RUT and Giemsa modification staining examination can be a good option in detecting H. pylori in chronic tonsillitis.

Background: In this study, we studied the pattern of bacterial isolates in all cases of open fractures of extremities that came to our hospital. Methods: This descriptive study was to be conducted on open orthopaedic injuries being admitted to the orthopaedic department, from June 2019 to June 2020 after obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance. Results: Culture analysis showed an increase in growth of Gram-negative bacteria, namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.3%) and Escherichia coli (10.5%) while Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus (52.6%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.5%). Conclusion: Unlike surgery in other orthopedic areas, the predicting factors for infection in fracture patients were found to be significantly influenced by open fracture rather than the underlying disease or anatomical features of the patient. However, only the correlation with simple open fracture has been confirmed. Therefore, further studies on the cause of open fracture and the mechanism of open fracture are necessary to determine the risk of infection. Keywords: Infection, Orthopaedics, Open surgery
