Abstract

General Background: Antibiotic resistance is a significant and growing public health concern, especially in hospital settings, where intensive care units (ICUs) often harbor multidrug-resistant organisms. Specific Background: Antimicrobial resistance in ICUs is a significant issue, necessitating a thorough assessment of bacterial susceptibility patterns to develop effective treatment protocols. Knowledge Gap: Despite the increasing concern, comprehensive studies focusing on bacterial resistance patterns in ICUs, particularly in diverse hospital settings, remain limited. Aims: The study aimed to assess the resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from blood, urine, and ICU surfaces to various antibiotics and identify the most resistant species. Results: Thirty blood, twenty urine, and fifty-six environmental samples were collected and cultured. Staphylococcus spp. exhibited 75% resistance to erythromycin, while Klebsiella spp., Pantoea spp., and E. coli showed 100% resistance to multiple antibiotics, including Ticarcillin, Piperacillin, and Cefixime. Confirmatory bacterial identification was performed using the Vitek 2 compact system, and resistance was measured across 25 antibiotics from various classes. Novelty: The study highlights the alarming 100% antibiotic resistance in various ICU-associated bacterial species, emphasizing the urgent need for revised antibiotic stewardship programs. Implications: The study underscores the importance of monitoring AMR patterns in hospitals and adjusting antibiotic therapies to combat rising resistance, particularly in ICUs, highlighting the need for robust surveillance. Highlights: 100% resistance: Klebsiella, Pantoea, E. coli resist multiple antibiotics in ICU. ICU risk: Multidrug-resistant bacteria prevalent in intensive care units. Urgent need: Update antibiotic protocols, enhance AMR surveillance in hospitals. Keywords: Antibiotic resistance, ICU, bacterial susceptibility, multidrug-resistant organisms, hospital infections

Abstract

Background: Blood transfusion, a crucial part of modern medical treatment, is believed to be the first successful organ transplant and plays a vital role in modern healthcare interventions. Knowledge gap: Despite its importance, awareness and knowledge about blood transfusion and donation are insufficient, particularly among university students. Aims: This study aims to assess student knowledge regarding blood transfusion and to raise awareness about blood donation. Methods: A cross-sectional study at Bab Al-Zubair University involved 200 students, assessing blood transfusion knowledge using a questionnaire and SPSS version 16, with statistical analysis. Results: The study revealed that 46% of students had no knowledge of blood transfusion, while only 31% had information on transfusion and donation. Social media was the primary information source for 32% of students, with only 9% undergoing regular blood tests. Moreover, 82.5% of students had never attended a seminar on blood donation. Novelty: This study highlights a significant gap in knowledge and awareness among students regarding blood transfusion and donation, emphasizing the role of social media as a key information source. Implications: The study emphasizes the need for targeted educational interventions in university curricula to enhance student awareness and knowledge about blood donation and transfusion. Highlights: Knowledge Gap: 46% of students lack information on blood transfusion. Seminar Absence: 82.5% never attended blood donation seminars. Educational Need: More training and seminars required to increase awareness. Keywords: Blood transfusion, Student knowledge, Blood donation, Awareness, Cross-sectional study

Abstract

Viral infections, which typically have a high rate of morbidity and mortality, are more challenging to identify. In particular, studies on rotavirus, hepatitis B virus, bacteriophages, enteric viruses, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus were evaluated for IBD. These results suggest that IBD patients are more likely to get viral infections. Therefore, medical practitioners should be more aware of the increased risk of viral infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The incidence and prevalence of childhood-onset inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease subtypes, have significantly increased in recent years, making them important pediatric chronic diseases on a global scale. Childhood-onset IBD is more widespread and dangerous than adult-onset IBD. The biological treatment for juvenile IBD is anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy, and more treatment options are urgently needed. Currently, this patient population is prescribed off-label other biologic medicines such as Steinman, and vedolizumab. Understanding the viral infection's causes, diagnosing and tracking the illness, treating patients, and managing the psychological and physical effects of having IBD are all crucial. Globally, the frequency of IBD varies greatly; estimates place the number of affected individuals at 2.2 million in Europe and 1.6 million in the United States. Highlights: Viral infections increase risk in IBD patients; awareness is crucial. Childhood-onset IBD is rising; better treatments are urgently needed. Global IBD cases exceed 3.8 million; management and diagnosis are vital. Keywords: Viral Infection, Enhanced, Inflammatory Bowel Disease
