Knowledge of staff nurses regarding triage system

Introduction: Triage is the process of rapidly screening sick patients when they first arrive in the hospital and of placing them in one of the groups like those with emergency signs (who require immediate treatment), those with priority signs (who should be given priority while waiting in the queue, so that they can be assessed and treated without delay) and those with non-urgent signs (who have neither emergency nor priority signs).

Radical vaginal trachelectomy with fertility preservation in early stages ofuterine cervical cancer

Background: Radical vaginal Trachelectomy (RVT) plays an important role asthe definitive treatment of uterine cervical cancer. 
Objective: To determine the conservative fertility in females in early pregnancy with invasive uterine cervical cancer stage IB1.
Patients and Methods: A prospective case-controls study was performed in cervical cancer IB1 stage who wished to preserve fertility. The patients underwenttoRVT and laparoscopic lymphadenectomy.

Surgical antisepsis as a quality indicator for patient safety

Objective: to analyze surgical skin antisepsis in clean surgeries as a process indicator for surgical site infection prevention in a university hospital in the central-western region of Brazil. Method: retrospective analytical cross-sectional study that analyzed the records of 700 medical records of patients older than 18 years submitted to clean surgery. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results: 50.9% (n = 356) records were considered adequate, in which there was degermation followed by antisepsis.

Undescended testis – Current concepts

Undescended Testis (UDT) is a common congenital anomaly especially in preterm boys. Serial examination is essential to diagnose cases of acquired cryptorchidism. The treatment of UDT has undergone a dramatic change in recent times with emphasis on early surgical intervention between 6 months to 1 year of age. Hormonal therapy to induce descent of testes has been used for over 70 years based on the premise that androgens promote testicular descent, but efficacy is questionable. The traditional approach to surgical treatment of palpable testes is inguinal orchidopexy.

Effect of bioclimate factors on olive (olea europaea l.) yield: to increase the economy and maintaining food security in Palestine

Olive (oleae europaea L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops production and plays a role in the Palestinian economy, we analyzed the mean monthly temperature and precipitation using data from nine weather stations from the Palestine Meteorological Department, recorded in the period from 1993-2008, with the same years plant production (rain-fed) from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

Magnesium based surgical implants: a new modality for osseointegration- A review of current research

Over the past few years there has been a considerable increase in interest in the potential of magnesium alloys to be used as surgical implants. This is due to the fact that magnesium implants can be used both, as a scaffolding to allow new bone formation and also as fixative devices, to hold the reduced fractured segments till bone healing takes place. Magnesium is biocompatible and has a modulus of elasticity closer to bone, thus desired over other materials presently being used.

Ag-nanoparticles based on polysaccharide isolated from the leaves of mentho piperita and their study on microbes and comparison with ciprofloxacin

In modern research, the field of science is the most interesting areas for its wide application in chemistry, electronics, ecology, and medicine  as well chemists, biologists / microbiologists for their commercial demand as in biological fields. Economically preparation of silver nano particles using green synthesis path having biological entities are gradually increases. Now a day’s Ag-nano particles based on synthetic polysaccharide or plant or animal polysaccharide is unique.

Antibacterial efficacy of zinc oxide paste with various essential oils against enterococcuc faecalis and its comparison with zinc oxide eugenol paste

Aim: To evaluate the susceptibility of E.faecalis to zinc oxide paste with various essential oils like tea tree oil, thyme oil, peppermint oil and to compare it with commonly used zinc oxide eugenol paste.
