Minimal intervention for controlling nosocomial transmission of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in resource limited setting with high endemicity

Objective: To control nosocomial transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in resource-limited healthcare setting with high endemicity. Methods: Three phases of infection control interventions were implemented in a University-affiliated hospital between 1- January-2004 and 31-December-2012. The first phase of baseline period, defined as the first 48-months of the study period, when all MRSA patients were managed with standard precautions, followed by a second phase of 24-months, when a hospital-wide hand hygiene campaign was launched. In the third phase of 36-months, contact precautions in open cubicle, use of dedicated medical items, and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate daily bathing for MRSA-positive patients were implemented while hand hygiene campaign was continued. The changes in the incidence rates of hospital-acquired MRSA-per- 1000-patient admissions, per-1000-patient-days, and per-1000-MRSA-positive-days were analyzed using segmented Poisson regression (an interrupted time series model). Usage density of broad-spectrum antibiotics was monitored. Results: During the study period, 4256 MRSA-positive patients were newly diagnosed, of which 1589 (37.3%) were hospitalacquired. The reduction of hospital-acquired MRSA per 1000-patient admissions, per 1000-patient-days, and per 1000- MRSA-positive-days from phase 1 to 2 was 36.3% (p<0.001), 30.4% (p<0.001), and 19.6% (p = 0.040), while the reduction of hospital-acquired MRSA per 1000-patient admissions, per 1000-patient-days, and per 1000-MRSA-positive-days from phase 2 to 3 was 27.4% (p<0.001), 24.1% (p<0.001), and 21.9% (p = 0.041) respectively. This reduction is sustained despite that the usage density of broad-spectrum antibiotics has increased from 132.02 (phase 1) to 168.99 per 1000 patient-days (phase 3). Conclusions: Nosocomial transmission of MRSA can be reduced with hand hygiene campaign, contact precautions in open cubicle, and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate daily bathing for MRSA-positive despite an increasing consumption of broadspectrum antibiotics. © 2014 Cheng et al.published_or_final_versio

NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DALAM AL-QUR’AN SURAT ALI IMRAN AYAT 37

Abstract: Islamic education is an important part in the world of education. Because humans not only need knowledge, but also need spiritual power of religion to form a whole human being (insan kamil) in accordance with Islamic norms. This study discusses "Islamic Education Values ??Contained in the Qur'an, Surat Ali Imran Verse 37". Research method in this study used literature review research. In this study, researchers found that the concepts of Islamic educational values ??are a collection of life principles, teachings about how humans should carry out their lives in the world, one principle with each other related to forming a unified whole that is inseparable inherent in Islamic education which is used as a basis for humans to achieve the goals of human life that is to be a human being and serve God Almighty. There are two types of Islamic educational values, namely Ilahiyah values ??and Insaniyah values. The results of this study the researchers concluded that the values ??of Islamic education contained in al-Qur'an Surah Ali Imran verse 37: 1). Ilahiyah Values, such as, Faith, Islam, piety, sincerity, trust, gratitude and patience. 2). Insaniyah values ??include al-ukhuwah, tawadhu ', al-wafa, husnudzan., Al-amanah, and al-munfiqun

Digital analysis of the volume of the human foetal suprarenal arteries

Vascularisation of an organ is an index of its metabolic activity. The suprarenal glands are of crucial importance in the development of pregnancy. No data were found by the authors to describe the volume of the human foetal suprarenal arteries throughout pregnancy. The study was designed to form a database of human foetal suprarenal arterial volume in relation to foetal age and sex. Digital images were obtained at 4-week intervals of the suprarenal arteries of 30 foetuses aged between 12&#8211;40 Hbd. The arteries were primarily filled with LBS latex. A unique form of software was designed to assist in incorporating vector graphics, spliced functions of Bezier, into the analysis. The arteries contoured by the geometric curves were calculated for their initial, average and terminal diameter, length and volume. The measurements were compared in relation to foetal age and sex at 4-week intervals. Foetal age was assessed by means of calculation from the last menstrual period, manual measurement of foot length and ultrasonagraphic measurement of femoral length. The suprarenal arteries in human foetuses are of strongly individual variation both in their origin and quantity. The volume of the arteries appears constant in the group analysed
