Sepsis

ROP is a multifactorial disease. Low gestational age, low birth weight, sepsis, oxygen therapy, respiratory distress syndrome, and blood transfusion have been suspected to influence the incidence of ROP. The most significant risk factors for development of ROP were low gestational age and low birth weight, as shown in many studies. In our study, low gestational age, sepsis, oxygen therapy, and frequency of blood transfusions were found to be risk factors for development of ROP independently.…

or antagonists. The company consisted of 14 employees and the company has a chemistry laboratory, and 35 pending patents in the purine field. During 2004, the company promised two drug treatment: the first one for diabetes and the second one for sepsis. The pharmaceutical industry was known one of the most effective economic sector and have more than 530$ billion in sales. The company grew faster than most other divisions of the economic, but they forecasted the…

Can a part of normal flora be a killer of the newborns? Grampositive bacterium colonized in 25% of women is THE leading cause of blood infection, pneumonia and meningitis in newborns. GBS can cause babies to be miscarried, stillborn, or become very sick and sometimes even die after birth. Some GBS survivors have permanent handicaps such as blindness, deafness, mental challenges, and/or cerebral palsy. Because of the severity of a GBS infection in the newborn, treatment guidelines have been…

The most intriguing patient during my time at Decatur General Hospital was a man who was admitted with rhabdomyolysis. The patient is a 68-year-old male with a significant past medical history of hip fractures, decubitus ulcers along with sepsis, alcohol abuse, acute blood loss anemia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and nicotine abuse. The patient was transferred to Decatur General Hospital Emergency Room from his previous rehabilitation center due to progressively getting weaker and…

patient history is diabetes, gastric bypass in 4/2015, hypertension, asthma and neuropathy. Patient had chest x-ray and showed lower lobe pneumonia. This with combination of tachycardia, elevated WBC meets criteria for sepsis. Pathophysiology Lugs are usually the casualty of sepsis the endothelium of the lung is large and lungs…

Introduction: Sparse evidence outline whose infections are responsible for hospital admission in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Their location, severity and prognosis are unknown. Our aim was to characterize infections requiring hospitalization in MS patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of MS patients admitted to our hospital between 2006 and 2014. We collected information about MS characteristics, location and severity of infection, need for Intermediate/Intensive Care Units (ICU)…

(2) urinary tract infections (UTIs) and (3) sepsis/meningitis (Kaper et al., 2004). However, this bacteria uses different virulence factors to cause the above-mentioned clinical syndromes (Croxen and Finlay, 2010; Kaper et al., 2004). The E. coli producing pore forming toxin α-hemolysin causing bacteraemia/sepsis causes degradation of Bcl-XL protein among platelets via activating calpains (Kraemer et al., 2012). Thus, thrombocytopenia observed during sepsis caused by E. coli or related bacteria…

symptoms of Sepsis. Change of behavior is another symptom of this infection. It is very hard to diagnose in young children, because the typical symptoms may not be present or may be hard to determine if it is a part of the infection. People with medical issues have a high risk of getting Sepsis. Patients that are hospitalized are at risk of obtaining this disease, due to intravenous lines, catheters, surgical wounds, and bedsores. In the past 20 years more people are dying from Sepsis because…

the rates in the El Paso Region and the United States are not as nearly as high of the country of Pakistan. The majority of maternal deaths result due to complications during childbirth similar to that of the United States, such as hemorrhages and sepsis. The maternal mortality rate is 229 deaths per 100,000 live births. In order to decrease the Maternal Mortality Rate several issues must be addressed such as providing access to specialist, training traditional birth attendants, and decreasing…

identify ways to improve clinical documentation and the amount of queries sent to physicians for conflicting, incomplete, or nonspecific documentation. The specific data that we were analyzing over a three month period was the documentation for meeting Sepsis criteria. The information in the report was obtained from the collected data and benchmarked within the facility. First, our mission statement is to evaluate physician documentation by identifying opportunities for improvement to help…
