Abstract

AbstractObjective:To identify risk factors for mortality in intensive care units (ICUs) in Asia.Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:The study included 317 ICUs of 96 hospitals in 44 cities in 9 countries of Asia: China, India, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.Participants:Patients aged >18 years admitted to ICUs.Results:In total, 157,667 patients were followed during 957,517 patient days, and 8,157 HAIs occurred. In multiple logistic regression, the following variables were associated with an increased mortality risk: central-line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI; aOR, 2.36; P< .0001), ventilator-associated event (VAE; aOR, 1.51; P< .0001), catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI; aOR, 1.04; P< .0001), and female sex (aOR, 1.06; P< .0001). Older age increased mortality risk by 1% per year (aOR, 1.01; P< .0001). Length of stay (LOS) increased mortality risk by 1% per bed day (aOR, 1.01; P< .0001). Central-line days increased mortality risk by 2% per central-line day (aOR, 1.02; P< .0001). Urinary catheter days increased mortality risk by 4% per urinary catheter day (aOR, 1.04; P< .0001). The highest mortality risks were associated with mechanical ventilation utilization ratio (aOR, 12.48; P< .0001), upper middle-income country (aOR, 1.09; P= .033), surgical hospitalization (aOR, 2.17; P< .0001), pediatric oncology ICU (aOR, 9.90; P< .0001), and adult oncology ICU (aOR, 4.52; P< .0001). Patients at university hospitals had the lowest mortality risk (aOR, 0.61; P< .0001).Conclusions:Some variables associated with an increased mortality risk are unlikely to change, such as age, sex, national economy, hospitalization type, and ICU type. Some other variables can be modified, such as LOS, central-line use, urinary catheter use, and mechanical ventilation as well as and acquisition of CLABSI, VAE, or CAUTI. To reduce mortality risk, we shall focus on strategies to reduce LOS; strategies to reduce central-line, urinary catheter, and mechanical ventilation use; and HAI prevention recommendations.

Abstract

Objectives: Although commonly practiced, the accuracy, effectiveness, and safety of screening patients for COVID-19 at hospital entrances is not well documented. Material and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of single institution data involving screening patients for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection at hospital entrances by trained health personnel, with thermal scanning and administration of a standard questionnaire eliciting risk factors and symptoms of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 positivity among patients screened positive and negative and among personnel involved in screening were estimated. Results: Between May 22, 2020, and July 4, 2020, a total of 20152 patients involving 54955 hospital visits were screened at hospital entrances of whom 668 (3.31%, 95% CI 3.07-3.57) were screened positive for suspected COVID-19 and 19484 (96.69%, 95% CI 96.44-96.93) were screened negative. Among patients screened positive, of the 638 patients with available records, 109 (17.08%, 95% CI 14.24-20.23) were confirmed to be SARS-CoV-2 positive by polymerase chain reaction test, 288 (45.14%, 95% CI 41.23-49.10) were negative, 71 (11.13%, 95% CI 8.79-13.83) were not tested after secondary assessment, and 170 (26.65%, 95% CI 23.25-30.26) patients declined the test. Among screen negative patients, 162 (0.83%, 95% CI 0.71-0.97) were SARS-CoV-2 positive. Of the 104 personnel involved in screening, 03 (2.88%, 95% CI 0.60-8.20) were confirmed to be SARS-CoV-2 positive during study period. Conclusion: Screening patients with a combination of thermal scanning and a standard questionnaire for COVID-19 has a high positive predictive value for detecting this infection with low risk of SARS-COV-2 transmission to the involved health personnel.

Abstract

Abstract: Tribology of a well known solid lubricant molybdenum disulphide is studied here in water and oil medium, over a large range of contact dimensions. Lateral force microscopy is used to identify the deformation modes; intra-crystalline slip, plastic grooving, fragmentation and fracture, of single particles. The medium and agglomeration were found to dictate the deformation mode. Steel on steel tribology lubricated by suspensions of these particles in liquid media was conducted over a range of contact pressure and sliding velocity. A scrutiny of the frictional data with the aid of Raman spectroscopy to identify the transfer film, suggested that the particle size, as it is at contact, is an important tribological parameter. Ultrasonication of the suspension and dispersion of the particle by surfactants were used to control the apriori particle size fed into the suspension. Correspondence of friction data of the gently sonicated suspension with that of the ultrasonicated suspension with dispersants indicated the importance of liquid ingestion by these particles as it controls their mode of deformation and consequent tribology.

Abstract

India records one fifth of global cervical cancer burden. Unlike human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling, other screening methods may cause discomfort and embarrassment. This study aimed to investigate attitudes, acceptability, barriers, predictors, effective modality of instructions, and validity of HPV self-sampling among Indian women residing in varied settings and different literacy levels. This is community-based interventional study among Indian women 30-55 years, residing in urban slums (500), urban non-slums (500), and rural (600) settings with varied washroom facilities and privacy, to collect self-samples. Each group was subdivided into two arms; in one women received education with pamphlets and other with health education program (HEP). Study involved enlisting eligibles, obtaining informed consents and conducting personal interviews to collect baseline data. Self-samplers were distributed with instructions (pictorial pamphlets in one group and HEP in other) regarding usage, storage and return. Willingness to use self-samplers, refusals, experiences, and so forth were captured. Post-intervention knowledge, attitudes, practices was recorded. HPV reports were distributed. Women with positive result on either test were offered further management. Acceptance rate of self-sampling was 99.2%, 97%, and 98.8% and HPV positivity was 7%, 7.8%, and 8.5%, respectively among urban non-slum, urban slum and rural women. Agreement rate between health personnel collected and self-collected samples was 96.5% in pamphlet and 93.2% in HEP arm. Major barriers of self-sampling were lack of confidence about performing self-test correctly, fear that test would be painful and anxiety about test results. HPV self-sampling has good acceptability among Indian women and good agreement with health personnel collected samples., (© 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract

Introduction: Cervical cancer, mostly caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), has disproportionately high incidence in developing countries. HPV infection being essentially a sexually transmitted infection, high-risk behaviour women with multiple sexual contacts like female sex workers (FSWs) are at higher risk of co-infection with HPV and of developing cervical precancer and cancer., Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of HPV infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) among FSWs in Mumbai, India., Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 448 FSWs, between the ages of 18-50 years, by collaborating with local non-government organizations working for the health and welfare of FSW communities at sexually transmitted diseases clinics. All FSWs were screened for HPV DNA by hybrid capture II followed by reference diagnosis of colposcopy and/or cervical biopsy., Results: The prevalence of HPV DNA positivity was 35.5% and CIN was 2.2%. Factors significantly associated with HPV DNA positivity were age group younger than 30 years odds ratio (OR = 2.098, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.408-3.127), Illiteracy (OR = 2.015, 95% CI 1.305-3.112), being single (OR = 2.409, 95% CI 1.558-3.724), less than 18 years of age at time of initiating work as FSW (OR = 3.718, 95% CI 3.718-2.392), having more than five clients per day (OR = 2.078, 95% CI 1.301-3.318), been working as a FSW for more than 5 years (OR = 2.321, 95% CI 1.455-3.701), not using barrier contraception methods (OR = 5.155, 95% CI 3.395-7.827) and having no exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) education program (OR = 29.153, 95% CI 15.385-55.240). FSWs with a positive HPV DNA test are substantially more likely to have CIN compared to those with a negative test (OR = 7.6, 95% CI 1.59-36.25)., Conclusion: The prevalence of HPV infection and CIN was high among FSWs. FSWs with a positive HPV DNA test had a seven times higher risk of developing CIN. The persistence of HPV infection is expected to significantly raise the risk of cervical cancer in the future. It is suggested to have an integrated approach towards cervical cancer screening and HIV/AIDS control activities., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflicts of interest in this work., (© the authors; licensee ecancermedicalscience.)
