The Cost of a Day Bed and Patient Day in the Ear, Nose, and Throat Wards of a Teaching Hospital and a Private Hospital in Yazd City
Background: Cost analysis is a management tool that helps the researchers to identify and manage high costs. The purpose of the present study was to calculate the cost of day bed and patient bed in the ear, nose, and throat departments of a teaching hospital and a private hospital in Yazd City, Iran. Methods: The present descriptive, analytical, and retrospective study was conducted in the ear...
متن کاملThe Antibiotic Resistance of Pseudomonas spp. Isolated from Different Wards of Shahid Rajai Hospital in Tonekabon, 2010-2011
Abstract: Background and Objective: A wide variety of opportunistic pathogens has been detected in hospital surfaces. Among these , Pseudomonas species are one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections, frequently found in hospital environments. The purpose of this study was identification of antimicrobial susceptibility of Pseudomonas spp. isolated from different Section of ShahidRajaeii ...
متن کاملMetapopulation Ecology
A metapopulation is a spatially structured population that persists over time as a set of local populations in balance between local extinction and colonization. Starting in 1969, and accelerating since the early 1990s, mathematical models of metapopulations have shown the importance of landscape connectivity and dispersal for persistence of a species or of interacting species. Some metapopulat...
متن کاملDissemination of an antibiotic resistance plasmid in hospital patient flora.
The 2'' aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase, AAD (2''), which adenylates gentamicin, tobramycin, and kanamycin, became prevalent over several months in multiple strains and species of Enterobacteriaceae isolated at one hospital. Eight plasmids with the gene for this enzyme purified from different strains and species isolated at different times had similar EcoRI digestion fragments, indicating...
متن کاملInformed Switching Strongly Decreases the Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Hospital Wards
Antibiotic resistant nosocomial infections are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in hospitals. Antibiotic cycling has been proposed to contain this spread by a coordinated use of different antibiotics. Theoretical work, however, suggests that often the random deployment of drugs ("mixing") might be the better strategy. We use an epidemiological model for a single hospital ward in or...
