Abstract:
Infection prevention, control, and treatment are vital elements of all healthcare environments. The nurse should have a good working knowledge of policies and procedures to ensure patients are cared for in a clean and appropriate environment. The surgical patient is at risk of developing infections, particularly surgical site infections. Most infections are preventable, and measures should be taken at every stage of a patient’s care to reduce the risk of infection.This chapter discusses infection prevention, control, and treatment, including key policies and procedures in the United Kingdom. It provides an overview of microbiology, aseptic technique, antibiotic therapy, and cleanliness standards.

Abstract:
Nosocomial infection or ‘healthcare-associated infection’ (HAI), is one of the most common medical complications affecting patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The prevalence of HAI generally exceeds 25% in ICUs worldwide and ICU-acquired HAI accounts for more than 20% of all HAI in general. HAI depends on the patient’s underlying disease, the presence of invasive devices, use of antimicrobial therapy, type of ICU, and workload and training of healthcare workers. Surveillance has a major impact on the incidence of infections. HAI rates are used to assess patient safety and healthcare systems’ effectiveness, but adjustment for case-mix and standardization of surveillance method are needed. Prevention must be guided by the measurement of indicators, such as HAI rates, structure indicators, process indicators, and audits using checklists to assess if correct procedures and equipment are in place. Routine hand hygiene is the most important feature of infection control. Although the optimal approach to reducing HAI in critically-ill patients remains unclear, recent studies and large quality improvement initiatives have shown that education-based strategies with multimodal interventions, including some bundle approaches, can decrease HAI rates in ICUs.

Abstract:
Health care organizations and their staff have a responsibility to prevent occupationally-acquired infections and avoid transmitting disease to patients. As well as being a known source of nosocomial infections, health care workers (HCWs) are at risk themselves of becoming infected in the workplace. Regulatory authorities in many countries advise or mandate screening for key blood-borne pathogens (BBPs) in settings where transmission between patients and staff is possible. Staff infected with a BBP are restricted from performing certain procedures. In addition to screening for BBP, health care organizations require a tuberculosis infection control programme. Routine screening of health care workers for other organisms such as MRSA is usually not indicated. Health care organizations should have robust policies to immunize health care workers against Hepatitis B and respiratory diseases. Many organizations now make immunization against key respiratory diseases a pre-requisite for employment as a key infection control patient safety strategy.

Abstract:
The genus Corynebacterium contains the species Corynebacterium diphtheriae and the non-diphtherial corynebacteria. C. diphtheriae is the major human pathogen in this genus, but several species of nondiphtheria corynebacteria appear to be emerging as important pathogens.Zoonotic corynebacteria rarely cause disease in humans, but recent reports have indicated that the frequency and severity of infection associated with Corynebacterium ulcerans has increased in many countries. In the past most human C.ulcerans infections have occurred through close contact with farm animals or by consumption of unpasteurised dairy products. However, recently, there have been cases of human infection following close contact with household pets. Rhodococcus equi appears to be emerging as an important pathogen in immunocompromised patients, especially those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Human infections caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is still a very rare occurrence.Antibiotics in combination with surgery and vaccination are the treatment of choice for human infection. Control of human infection is best achieved by raising awareness in those at risk (e.g. domestic pet owners, sheep shearers, the immunocompromised), clinicians involved in treating these groups and by vaccination. Reducing prevalence in the animal population could be achieved by improving hygiene in farms and husbandry practices, reducing minor injuries (e.g. cuts and abrasions) during routine procedures, and by vaccination.

Abstract:
This book is designed to be both a quick guide and a reference text for radiographers and other staff who perform imaging during surgical procedures. Over 40 of the most common procedures are covered in detail, from initial setup to sending final images, with sections on patient positioning, C-arm approach, anatomy, surgical hardware, and alternative techniques. These include cases related to orthopaedics, urology, paediatrics, neurology, and other branches of medicine. Each chapter covers both surgical and imaging techniques, to give the radiographer a better idea of what is required in terms of imaging and technique, along with comprehensive positioning graphics and accompanying high-quality radiograph images. The techniques and methods demonstrated are fully explained, and will allow staff to confidently perform imaging for procedures not covered in the text. Also included are sections on the practical skills required for working in theatres (such as team work and safe practice), infection control, radiation protection, exposures, and image quality, as well as discussions about the function, systems, and usage of intraoperative imaging equipment. This includes both image intensifier (II) systems and the newer flat-panel detector systems. Image artefacts and the effects of under- and overexposure are also covered, with examples of radiograph images and details on how to remedy them. Each chapter is separated by specialty and body region for quick reference and ease of navigation, while key points and imaging considerations are highlighted in each procedure for emphasis.

Abstract:
Verocytotoxin (VT)-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC), also known as Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC), are zoonotic agents, which cause a potentially fatal illness whose clinical spectrum includes diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis, and the haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). VTEC are of serious public health concern because of their association with large outbreaks and with HUS, which is the leading cause of acute renal failure in children. Although over 200 different OH serotypes of VTEC have been associated with human illness, the vast majority of reported outbreaks and sporadic cases of VTEC-infection in humans have been associated with serotype O157:H7.VTs constitute a family of related protein subunit exotoxins, the major ones implicated in human disease being VT1, VT2, and VT2c. Following their translocation into the circulation, VTs bind to endothelial cells of the renal glomeruli, and of other organs and tissues via a specific receptor globotriosylceramide (Gb 3), are internalized by a process of receptor-mediated endocytosis, and cause subcellular damage that results in the characteristic microangiopathic disease observed in HUS.The incubation period of VTEC-associated illness is about 3–5 days. After ingestion VTEC (especially of serotype O157:H7) multiply in the bowel and colonize the mucosa of probably the large bowel with a characteristic attaching and effacing (AE) cytopathology. Colonization is followed by the translocation of VTs into the circulation and the subsequent manifestation of disease.The majority of patients with uncomplicated VTEC infection recover fully with general supportive measures. Historically, the case-fatality rate was high for HUS. However, improvement in the treatment of renal failure and the attendant biochemical disturbances has substantially improved the outlook, although long-term sequelae may develop.Ruminants, especially cattle, are the main reservoirs of VTEC. Infection is acquired through the ingestion of contaminated food, especially under-cooked hamburger, through direct contact with animals, via contaminated water or environments, or via personto-person transmission.The occurrence of large outbreaks of food-borne VTEC-associated illness has promoted close scrutiny of this zoonoses at all levels in the chain of transmission, including the farm, abattoir, food processing, packaging and distribution plants, the wholesaler, the retailer and the consumer. While eradication of VTEC O157 at the farm may not be an option, interventions to increase animal resistance or to decrease animal exposure are being developed and validated. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Programmes are being implemented in the processing sector and appear to be associated with temporal decreases in VTEC serotype O157 illness in humans. Education programmes targeting food handling procedures and hygiene practices are being advocated at the retail and consumer level. Continued efforts at all stages from the farm to the consumer will be necessary to reduce the risk of VTEC-associated illness in humans.

Abstract:
It is important for rheumatologists to have an understanding of biochemical tests including an awareness of their limitations. The biological variability of an analyte both within and between individuals, the limitations of the measurement technology, the sensitivity of laboratory internal quality control and external quality assurance procedures, as well as interlaboratory variations in practices including sample collection procedures, may all impact on the interpretation of a result. Biochemical tests are often requested to monitor organ-specific dysfunction arising as an adverse consequence of pharmacotherapy or as a component of a systemic rheumatic disease, although dysfunction may also reflect infection or coincidental pathology. Patients with rheumatic diseases are at high risk of renal and hepatic disease. Serum creatinine and its derivative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are the most readily available surrogate markers of GFR and are used to assess renal impairment and monitor its course. However, the use of creatinine alone lacks sensitivity and a substantial loss of function must occur before creatinine levels are increased. Additional biochemical screening for kidney damage can be performed by assessment of glomerular integrity, including proteinuria or albuminuria and haematuria. A wide spectrum of rheumatic diseases can affect the liver with various degrees of involvement and hepatic pathology. These often present with cholestatic or hepatitic biochemical profiles. The medical management of rheumatic diseases also involves medications that are hepatotoxic, and routine monitoring of liver function is recommended. This approach is not problem-free and may be improved by quantitative determinations of non-invasive markers of liver fibrosis in the future. Together with imaging techniques, biochemical tests play an important role in the assessment and differential diagnosis of metabolic bone disease.

Full text
Abstract:
Abdominal injuries are common following blunt and penetrating trauma. They can result in a spectrum of severity from benign to potentially life-threatening conditions. Soon after injury, haemorrhage is the predominant concern, and leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Active haemorrhage resulting in shock requires emergent operative intervention and aggressive haemostatic resuscitation. However haemodynamically-stable patients benefit from non-operative management of solid organ injuries with or without angiographic embolization. Sepsis usually occurs as a result of intra-abdominal infections from missed bowel perforations or anastomotic leaks. Sterile systemic hyperinflammatory conditions can result from major hepatic necrosis or pancreatic injuries, and closely mimic infectious conditions. Damage control surgery is a valuable adjunct to the operative management of major abdominal trauma. This concept recognizes that the time and procedures required to perform definitive operative repair may be detrimental when physiological derangements are excessive. By limiting operations to controlling haemorrhage and enteric contamination, further deterioration, and the ‘vicious bloody cycle of trauma’ can be avoided. The operative and critical care management of patients with abdominal trauma should be closely integrated to correct physiological derangements with rapid stabilization and reversal of hypoperfusion. Abdominal compartment syndrome, characterized by intra-abdominal hypertension and resultant remote organ dysfunction, is a risk in patients undergoing high-volume fluid resuscitation. Emergent decompressive laparotomy is indicated in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome and results in rapid reversal of physiological compromise. Paramount to optimal management of abdominal injuries is the close integration of operative and critical care approaches.
