vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is a relatively common and important entity in children. vur can expose patient to risk of pyelonephritis, permanent renal damage or scar. vur itself has no deleterious effect on kidney parenchyma until the development of infection or increased intravesical pressure.   the diagnosis of vur could lead to appropriate therapy and prevention of long term complications. t...

with using antibiotic in societies which usage of this kind of the drug without any limitation cause appear resistance against antibiotics.this survey consider to use the extract and essence of the cinnamon (which have a so many rate of planting in iran) and also survey on extract on bacteria whose cause urinary tract infections, and compare this with common antibiotics. this study was experime...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most frequent infecting organism in acute infection. so, knowledge about the frequency and distribution of urinary tract infection (uti) is important to improve infection control measures. the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of bacteria isolated from urinary tract infection (uti) in patients and determination of the antibiotic s...

background :  emerging antibacterial resistance rates and beta-lactamase producing bacteria recovered from uti is an increasing problem in different regions, limiting therapeutic options. therefore, this survey consider to use the extract and essence of the citrus aurantium (which have a so many rate of planting in iran) and also survey on extract on bacteria whose cause urinary tract infection...

background: once it comes to infections, children are the weakest members of society and they gather together in nurseries and kindergartens as their first communities. in recent years, parents were more eager to send their children to nurseries. this research investigated self-care to prevent urinary tract infections in children. methods: this was a qualitative research using a contextual them...

objective: aminoglycosides are highly potent, broad-spectrum antibiotics with many desirable properties for the treatment of life-threatening infections. escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection (uti). antibiotic resistance has recently become prevalent. enzymatic inactivation of aminoglycosides by aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes is the main mechanism of r...

background and objective: vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is one of the most common urinary tract abnormalities in patients with urinary tract infection. nowadays noninvasive diagnostic methods are suggested to recognize vur and its severity. methods: we measured urinary and serum fibronectin in 51 children with vur. results: the mean serum fibronectin was 318.3±112.1 in children with low grade vur...

background: pseudomonas aeruginosa is considered an opportunistic pathogen; several reports indicate that the organism can also cause infections in healthy hosts. four effector proteins have been described in p. aeruginosa: exou, exos, exot, and exoy. these genes that are translated into protein products related to type iii secretion systems. materials and methods: a total of 134 samples were i...
