Abstract Aim Surgical site infection (SSI) occurs in 2–10% of the patients after abdominal surgery and has an impact on morbidity, mortality medical costs. The aim this systematic review meta-analysis was to evaluate whether use triclosan-coated sutures for fascial closure adominal decrease rate SSI compared uncoated sutures. Methods A conducted using PRISMA guidelines. literature search perfor...

BACKGROUND Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) among organ transplant recipients. The relationship between the levels of antibody for CMV with IHD in immunocompetent individuals is uncertain. METHODS We measured baseline CMV immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in 12,574 participants without IHD from the population-based EPIC-Norfolk cohort, aged 40-70 years old at ...

AIM In recent decades, considerable progress has been made in diagnosis and management of cranial trauma patients. Computed Tomography has resulted in a revolution in head injury diagnosis, making it possible to detect cases suitable for surgical treatment in a rapid, non-invasive manner. We present our experience in treating patients with head injuries at Emergency Department b...

INTRODUCTION Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram negative enterobacteriaciae commonly associated with nosocomial infections. Multidrug resistant strains are increasingly being reported with corresponding increase in morbidity and mortality. The study outlines the epidemiology and antibiotic resistance pattern of K. pneumonia over a 10 year period in Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, Keny...

Disodium hydrogen orthophosphate is a water soluble white powder widely used as pH regulator and saline laxative. The sodium nitrate is a highly water soluble white solid, used in high blood pressure, dentinal hypersensitivity, and production of fertilizers. The present study was aimed to investigate the impact of biofield treatment on spectral properties of disodium hydrogen orthophosphate and...

A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the detection and quantitation of karlotoxins in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. This novel method was based upon the analysis of purified karlotoxins (KcTx-1, KmTx-2, 44-oxo-KmTx-2, KmTx-5), one amphidinol (AM-18), and unpurified extracts of bulk cultures of the marine dinoflagellate Karlodinium v...

Patients given unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis sometimes suffer serious bleeding. We showed previously that peptides containing 3 or more tandem repeats of heparin-binding consensus sequences have high affinity for LMWH and neutralize LMWH (enoxaparin) in vivo in rats and in vitro in citrate. We have now modified the...
