Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAntibiotic Usage in Intensive Care Units of Tabriz Imam Reza Hospital, 2011Sepehr Taghizadeh, Mehdi Haghdoost, Omid Mashrabi, Zahra ZeynalikhasraghiDrug therapy is one of the most important factors in providing community health. In a proper selection of an antibiotic for curing an infection, the kind of infective agent and its sensitivity to the utilized drugs must be regarded. The patients whom are admitted in ICUs are 5 to 7 folds more vulnerable to infection. The studies has been done … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2013 · 7,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDistribution and Risk Factors of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales in General Hospitals in South KoreaMijin Kang, Bokyeung Jung, Jaekyung KimThe emergence of Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) presents a significant global health challenge due to its high resistance to broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. CRE infections are increasingly common in hospital settings and are associated with high mortality rates. In South Korea, the increase in CRE infections necessitates a detailed investigation into their distribution and risk factors to inform effective management and prevention … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2025 · 5,759 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDiversity and Resistance of Bacteria Isolated from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Surfaces and the Hands of Nurses in Jeddah-Saudi ArabiaRoqaiah M. Al-Jabri, Ahmed M. Al-Hejin, Rukaia Gashgari et al.Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a serious problem for neonates when admitted to NICUs. The healthcare environment and healthcare workers' hands may be a source of transmission. Therefore, there is a need to find microbial sources and identify the contaminants to improve disinfection protocols to reduce HAIs. Out of the 169 samples collected on nutrient agar media from NICUs of a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 5 Aug 2022 · 5,828 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMODELING AND SIMULATION OF FUZZY BASED AUTOMATIC INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEMSunithaKarnam Anantha, Senthil Kumar Natarajan, Subransu Sekar DashThe aim is to design a complete online, automatic, intelligent and independent insulin delivery system. The proposed system calculates the amount of insulin by formulation based upon two linguistic factors i.e. weight and blood glucose levels. These factors have been used to develop a rule based fuzzy system in LabVIEW. The fuzziness brings a better regulation into the regime than … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 6 Aug 2013 · 6,623 accessesView PDFCite
