BACKGROUND Surgical site infection (SSI) is most common complication following surgical procedures. The objective of the study was to collect information on SSI regarding the most frequent pathogen in cases operated in casualty of Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) Peshawar, and sensitivity of the isolated pathogens to different antibiotics used. METHODS The study was carried out at surgical 'B' uni...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

inheritance of several yield-based drought resistance indices was studied by a halfdiallel method using seven winter wheat varieties. the parental lines were such chosen as to represent a broad range of drought stress resistance. the experiment was conducted in a split-plot design at the research farm, faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, iran, in 1998. irrigated vs. rainfed regimes w...

BACKGROUND Monitoring of analgesia remains a challenge during general anaesthesia. The surgical stress index (SSI) is derived from the photoplethysmographic waveform amplitude and the heart beat-to-beat interval. We evaluated the ability of SSI to measure surgical stress in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy. Our hypothesis was that while keeping State Entropy (SE) at a predetermine...

1 Wheat Research Center, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh ABSTRACT. Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using rand...

fusarium head blight (fhb) is an important disease in wheat worldwide that reduces grain yield, quality as well as contaminates grains to the mycotoxins. thirty spring wheat genotypes including 28 bread wheat and two durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for fhb under a randomized complete block design with three replications. grain yield and its components were evaluated by using two environmen...

BACKGROUND The surgical stress index (SSI) is a new monitoring tool for the assessment of nociception during general anaesthesia. It is calculated based on the heart beat interval and the pulse wave amplitude. Correlation of SSI with nociceptive stimuli and opioid effect-site concentrations has been demonstrated, but the influence of isolated modulation of heart rate (HR) on SSI is still unclea...

UNLABELLED Surveillance of surgical site infections (SSI) is a priority. One of the fundamental principles for the surveillance of SSI is based on receiving effective field feedback (retro-information). The aim of this study was to report the results of a program of SSI surveillance and validate the hypothesis that there is a correlation between creating a SSI surveillance program and a reducti...
