Background: Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in neonatal. Diagnosing neonatal sepsis challenge, as its clinical symptoms are not specific. Various studies have been conducted to identify infection markers for early identification sepsis, but none shown satisfactory results. Therefore, we aimed determine the validity eosinophil count and monocyte lymphocyte ratio (MLR) detection sepsis. Obje...

conclusions due to the increasing resistance of pathogens to usual empirical antibiotics, it is reasonable to stress upon preventive measures, so that a minimum number of neonates develop sepsis. results coagulase-negative staphylococci (cons) were the most prevalent pathogens isolated from blood specimens in early and late-onset disease. escherichia coli and klebsiella were the most causative ...

This study investigates why postpartum women cannot or will not receive consultations at the maternity ward in Sokoura, Côte d’Ivoire. It aims to present sociocultural, economic, infrastructural and organisational factors limiting new mothers’ access care suggest ways encourage them seek out such care. A qualitative approach was adopted data collected from individual interview...

Control of helicopter noise is currently a key driver in the design of facade systems and external building elements within major Australasian hospital developments. However, the issue lacks specific and objective guidance on acceptability within hospital environments from the local scientific and engineering community. This paper explores appropriate criteria for hospital developments, and com...

BACKGROUND Falls screening tools are routinely used in hospital settings and the psychometric properties of tools should be examined in the setting in which they are used. The aim of this study was to explore the concurrent and predictive validity of the Austin Health Falls Risk Screening Tool (AHFRST), compared with The Northern Hospital Modified St Thomas's Risk Assessment Tool (TNH-STRATIFY)...

This paper presents outcomes from a cognitive engineering project addressing the design problems of computerised monitoring in neonatal intensive care. Cognitive engineering is viewed, in this project, as a symbiosis between cognitive science and design practice. A range of methodologies has been used: interviews with neonatal staff, ward observations, and experimental techniques. The results o...

Background: This study aimed to measure the sound level and assess the association between noise annoyance and general health in Iranian nurses at Tabriz Pediatric Hospital in neonatal, infectious, internal, NICU, and emergency care wards. Materials and Methods: The noise level was measured continuously according to ISO9612. The general health questionnaire-28, the noise annoyance scale based ...
