Cardiac Abnormalities in HIV Infected Children Presenting to a Tertiary Level Teaching Hospital at New Delhi

We describe the results of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) screening as part of an outbreak investigation of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase–producing CRE at a tertiary care university teaching hospital. The manual method for CRE screening was useful for detecting patients with asymptomatic CRE carriage but was time-consuming and costly.

Limb Fractures

Background: There are many other reasons besides fracture for which a patient could potentially be admitted to orthopaedic inpatient care. The goal of this retrospective review was to analyze the spectrum of orthopaedic admissions to a tertiary level teaching hospital of Nepal.Material & Methods: This retrospective descriptive epidemiological study was based on patients admitted for orthopaedic inpatient care at a tertiary level health care center of eastern Nepal. Registry data of 1 year was used to analyze the spectrum of orthopaedic admissions.Results: Male admission outnumbered females with a ratio of 1.82:1. Trauma accounted to majority of Orthopaedic admissions (67.9%) and Infection lied second in order (12.4%). Upper and Lower limb fractures (with right sided dominance) contributed to highest numbers of trauma respectively. Incidence of closed to open fracture was 5.45:1. More than half of trauma and fractures involved the 10 – 39 years age group with predominance in 10-19 years. Fracture incidence was higher among men than women until 59 years of age after which the gender ratio reversed.Conclusions: Leading cause for orthopaedic admission was Trauma accounting more than 2/3 of the total. Biasness in gender admission reflects true picture of male dominated society. Upper limb injury, right side and closed fractures were dominating. Sexual dimorphism was apparent in fractures which may be due to higher rates of Osteoporotic fractures in elderly females.Journal of Nobel Medical CollegeVolume 6, Number 1, Issue 10 (January-June, 2017), Page: 56-62

Data Documentation

Carbapenem resistance mediated by NDM is particularly gruesome as this carbapenemase can hydrolyze a wide range of β-lactam antibiotics. Aim: This study aims to detect NDM mediated carbapenem resistance in clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: 50 multi-drug resistant clinical urinary isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa from three major hospitals in Khartoum state Sudan; Khartoum Teaching Hospital, Medical Army Hospital and Omdurman teaching hospital, in period from July 2016 to September 2017, were investigated for carbapenem resistance using standard disc diffusion method and underwent real-time PCR to detect carbapenem resistance gene blaNDM. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS. Results: 60% were positive for the blaNDM, 82% were resistant to Imipenem and 75% of the samples were resistant to Meropenem. Conclusion: The emergence of carbapenem resistance is a global problem that requires earnest attention. To make the suitable preventive measures, the emergence of these genes must be monitored closely. Our findings revealed that carbapenem-resistant due to the gene blaNDM is accounted for 60% of the cases, and due to lack of proper data documentation about the emergence of this gene in Sudan, these cases to the best of our knowledge are the first to be reported in Sudan.
