The Effect of Antibiotic Ointment on Nasal Packings: Is it Effective in Reducing Postoperative Nasal Bacterial Loads?
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 3 Author(s): Po-Yueh Chen , Kuei Chen , Pin-Zhi Chao , Hsin-Te Hsu , Shih-Han Hung Nasal packing is a widely used procedure in various types of nasal surgery and the management of nasal bleeding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a simple procedure of applying antibiotic ointment to the surface of the packing during the packing procedure. Six patients who were undergoing septomeatoplasty were enrolled in this study. All patients received postoperative antibiotics by mouth (cephalexin 500 mg 4 times dail...

Hospital-acquired Urinary Tract Infections in Patients with Diabetes and Urinary Catheterization
Conclusion Unlike having diabetes, having a urinary catheter was a significant risk factor for hospital-acquired UTI (p < 0.001). However, diabetic patients with a urinary catheter had a longer length of hospital stay than those without a urinary catheter. The resistance rate of E. coli to first-generation cephalosporins was higher in diabetic patients with a urinary catheter. Fungal infections, renal insufficiency, and cerebral vascular accident were significantly (p < 0.01) related risk factors for mortality. Candida deaths outnumbered other bacterial infections, and fungal UTI was the most prominent i...

Epigenomics of Alzheimer's Disease
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Journal of Experimental & Clinical Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 3 Author(s): Ramón Cacabelos , Clara Torrellas , Francisco López-Muñoz Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a polygenic/complex disorder in which genomic, epigenomic, and environmental factors are involved. Epigenetic factors have emerged as important mediators of aging, neurodegeneration, and brain disorders. Epigenomic changes underlying the phenotypic expression of AD, represented by deposits of extracellular Aβ aggregates in senile plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal loss, dendritic desarboriza...

Risk Factors of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Infection among Hospitalized Patients
Conclusion This study confirms that prior use of antimicrobials such as piperacillin/tazobactam and amikacin can significantly increase CRAB and CSAB infections in hospitalized patients. The prior use of meropenem increased CRAB infections, but not CSAB infections, in patients who were hospitalized 3 months after the drug exposure. Diabetes and ventilator use were also associated with a high rate of CRAB and CSAB infections. (Source: Journal of Experimental and Clinical Medicine)

The Outcome of Clinical Pharmacists' Interventions in a Taiwanese Hospital on Pharmacoeconomics and Cost Saving
Conclusion Interventions provided by hospital clinical pharmacists significantly prevented potential ADEs by monitor actively drug therapy and patient safety at the intensive care unit, cardiology, neurology, and nephrology care units. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to document the potential cost saving and obtained a benefit:cost ratio of 8.4:1 based on the implementation of a proper medication management and use provided by five clinical pharmacists for 6 months in a Taiwan hospital.

Protective Effect of Diindolylmethane against N-Butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) Nitrosamine-induced Bladder Carcinogenesis
Conclusion The results of this study show that DIM inhibited hyperplasia, a condition that reflects the development of initiation of carcinogenesis in an experimental model of nitrosamine-induced bladder carcinogenesis, and this effect of DIM can be attributed to its antioxidant activity and its ability to modulate xenobiotic enzymes.
