BACKGROUND Knowledge of specific risk factors for incisional Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is essential to create a specific SSI risk stratification index for colorectal surgery patients. OBJECTIVE Identify factors increasing the risk of incisional SSI that lead to the development of a more efficient tool for predicting and comparing surgical site infection rates among surgeons and institutio...

STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. PURPOSE To identify the characteristics of candidate indexes for early detection of surgical site infection (SSI). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE SSI is a serious complication of spinal instrumentation surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for the welfare of the patient postoperation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed laboratory data of patients who...

Salinity tolerance is highly desirable to sustain alfalfa production in marginal lands that have been rendered saline. In this study, we used a diverse panel of 198 alfalfa accessions for mapping loci associated with plant growth and forage production under salt stress using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The plants were genotyped using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS). A greenhouse proc...

OBJECTIVE The incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) after hysterectomy ranges widely from 2% to 21%. A specific risk stratification index could help to predict more accurately the risk of incisional SSI following abdominal hysterectomy and would help determine the reasons for the wide range of reported SSI rates in individual studies. To increase our understanding of the risk factors neede...

To investigate the influence of the neurological level of injury in bone mineral content (BMC) and mechanical properties, lean mass (LM), and fat mass (FM) among paraplegics with a similar duration of paralysis (DOP), we separated 30 paraplegics into group A (15 men, high-level paraplegia) and group B (15 men, low-level paraplegia) and compared them with group C (33 men, nondisabled). In all su...

Wheat is sown mostly in Peru, areas above 3000 m altitude, under rainfed conditions and frequent drought problems during the crop cycle. It a cereal used as staple food by families of small-scale farmers who are dedicated to their cultivation, which why it necessary develop varieties with tolerance. This investigation had objectives (1) determine yield potential wheat genotypes stress condition...

Drought hasunfavorable impacts on the success of agriculture in many parts world.Providing future populations with enough food would obviously require evaluation crop yield, higher potentials, and provision yield stability drought-affected regions. In this research, drought-tolerance wheat genotypes was studied a randomized complete block design three-replication experiment under normal drought...

abstract water deficit is a major problem for the successful production of agricultural products in iran. this research was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance indices and identifying drought tolerant cultivars of canola. twenty eight canola cultivars were sassed implementing complete block designs experiments in normal and drought stress conditions at isfahan university of technology resea...

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSI) are the leading type infection among hospitalized patients in the low-middle income countries. SSI constitutes a major public health problem and second most frequently reported nosocomial infections. They responsible for increasing treatment cost, length of hospital stay significant morbidity mortality. Aims & Objectives: To determine incidence of un...

We evaluated all surgical site infections (SSI) and postoperative bacteremias secondary to SSI as part of an ongoing active surgical surveillance program at a community hospital. Among 40,191 surgical procedures, we identified 515 patients with SSI and 47 with postoperative bacteremia secondary to SSI. Four variables were examined as potential predictors for developing postoperative bacteremia ...
