Overview of Pathogens causing Nosocomial Infections in Various Wards of a Tertiary Health Care Hospital and their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern - A Prospective Surveillance Study

The major problem encountered in recent days due to the advent of emerging antimicrobial resistance strains is Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The spread of HAI is mainly through the hospital staff and the hospital settings’ inanimate surfaces. The study includes the surveillance of hospital surfaces, including wards and ICUs, by taking swabs dipped in normal saline. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (53.8%) was found to be the most common pathogen isolated, followed by Klebsiella species (18%), Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (16%), Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (6%), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (3%). The widespread presence of bacterial sensitivity to antimicrobials and the modifications insensitivity forms the basis for designing antibacterial therapy’s practical recommendations and rational use of antimicrobials. Proper display of all Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials at appropriate places play a significant role in preventing nosocomial infections. Audiovisual aids and training to the staff play utmost importance in preventing the spread of HAIs. All these can reduce the occurrence and outbreak of nosocomial conditions. Overall, these minimize health care costs.

Students teaching students: Can medical students play a part in undergraduate physiology teaching?

Over the past decade active and self-directed learning has been given precedence in medical curricula. At the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka, a novel approach was trialed to teach applied physiology using a student-seminar, where the teaching content was developed by the medical students. Clinically relevant physiology topics were randomly allocated to ten studentgroups. Each group had to deliver their findings to peers and academic tutors during a seminar, using audiovisual aids. This study aimed to explore student perceptions regarding this novel learning experiment. Student perceptions of the seminar were explored using self-administered surveys and were rated. Analysis of subject-related knowledge showed that marks of the participants (n=125) had increased significantly, on average by 13% (t110= -8.878 p<0.001). Majority of students didn’t perceive the student seminar as satisfactory for teaching Applied Physiology. However, student seminars seem to be a useful way to enhance group learning and active self-directed learning. J Bngladesh Soc Physiol 2021;16(1): 57-60

Methodological aspects of the application of audio-visual tools for learning a foreign language and translation at the university

The paper discusses the methodological aspects of audio-visual materials use in teaching students a foreign language and translation. The advantages of using video materials in the university educational process are described. A brief overview of teaching technologies is presented, including the technology of writing subtitles, audiovisual technology for shooting video by students, as well as technologies for viewing video in a silent and freeze-frame mode. A new audiovisual technology for teaching a foreign language to undergraduate students of a technical profile with the use of VideoAnt and MindMeister electronic resources to create a mental map is considered in detail. This three-stage technology, which is based on the use of advertising video material from the American company CISCO, has been tested at the St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications named after Professor M.A. Bonch-Bruevich (SPbSUT) for students majoring in Service. There are also four formats of assignments for oral and written summary translation of video clips for master students of the translation profile of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU). According to the survey of the students majoring in linguistics, the most interesting and useful task for future translators was the task of interpreting video fragments in the classroom mode. A brief analysis of the questionnaire survey results of two students samples, technical and linguistic training profiles, is given, most of whom preferred to perform audiovisual tasks in the mode of psychologically more comfortable extracurricular independent work. The mode of independent out-of-class work with video materials, well tested during the period of self-isolation, is preferred by 60% of the students from two samples. The proposed application of audiovisual aids for teaching foreign languages and translation to university students is shown to be efficient.
