Epidemiological Characteristics of Intestinal Protozoal Infections and Their Risk Factors in Malaysia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

Epidemiological Characteristics of Intestinal Protozoal Infections and Their Risk Factors in Malaysia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol

The typical intestinal protozoal infection cases are reported from Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium parvum. The transmission of these protozoa occurs via the oral-fecal route, which involves either indirect or direct contact with the infection. This includes various modes of transmission such as human-to-human, zoonotic, waterborne, and foodborne transmission [2,3].

Infoveillance of COVID-19 Infections in Dentistry Using Platform X: Descriptive Study

Infoveillance of COVID-19 Infections in Dentistry Using Platform X: Descriptive Study

Dental professionals were at an increased risk of infection, prompting extensive revisions in practice protocols to ensure safety. Practices adopted rigorous infection control measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, enhanced disinfection procedures, and the introduction of tele-dentistry services to reduce physical visits [3]. Statistically, health care workers, including those in dental settings, experienced considerable infection rates and mortality.

An AI-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Antibiotic Therapy in Sepsis (KINBIOTICS): Use Case Analysis

An AI-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Antibiotic Therapy in Sepsis (KINBIOTICS): Use Case Analysis

Recent data from Germany show heterogeneous trends in AMR proportions of infected patients underscoring the urgent need for enhanced infection prevention measures to limit AMR spread [7]. Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing represents a significant contributing factor [8]. In particular, the prolonged or improper use of nonspecific, broad-spectrum antibiotics is highly problematic, as these antibiotics provide symptomatic relief but also facilitate the development of resistance in other bacteria [9,10].

Evaluating the Efficacy of a Serious Game to Deliver Health Education About Invasive Meningococcal Disease: Clustered Randomized Controlled Equivalence Trial

Evaluating the Efficacy of a Serious Game to Deliver Health Education About Invasive Meningococcal Disease: Clustered Randomized Controlled Equivalence Trial

The resulting narrative emerged as an overworld that brings to life the reality of meningococcal infection through interactive gameplay where the players are tasked with solving the source of IMD infection. Through MIApp, the students are introduced to the content including communicable disease, IMD, the concept of “healthy carriers,” signs and symptoms of infection, and preventive health care strategies (“ways” to be safe and remain safe).

Occupational Infections Among Workers in Europe: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Occupational Infections Among Workers in Europe: Protocol for a Scoping Review

From this perspective, infection prevention and control measures implemented in the workplace against biological hazards can reduce the risk of infection among workers. Indeed, employees in different professional sectors may be exposed to a variety of infectious agents, putting them at risk of disease.

Assessing the Impact of Frailty on Infection Risk in Older Adults: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Assessing the Impact of Frailty on Infection Risk in Older Adults: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

In addition, disorders of the immune system can lead to vulnerability to infection, cancer, autoimmune illness, and vaccine failure [5]. In comparison to young adults, older adults are more susceptible to infectious diseases due to immunosenescence and poor nutritional status [4,6-10]. The COVID-19 pandemic highlights this issue even further. As the global population is aging rapidly, frailty in older people is going to be more and more of a concern.

Automated Identification of Postoperative Infections to Allow Prediction and Surveillance Based on Electronic Health Record Data: Scoping Review

Automated Identification of Postoperative Infections to Allow Prediction and Surveillance Based on Electronic Health Record Data: Scoping Review

Finally, the performance of the automated infection surveillance systems compared with that of the reference standard manual review was visualized per subtype of infection. The results were grouped according to the type of infection, such as HAI (type not further specified), SSI, pneumonia, anastomotic leakage and abdominal infections, bloodstream infections (including central venous catheter-related infections and sepsis), and UTIs.

Prevention of Recurrent Spontaneous Preterm Delivery Using Probiotics (Clostridium butyricum, Enterococcus faecium, and Bacillus subtilis; PPP Trial): Protocol for a Prospective, Single-Arm, Nonblinded, Multicenter Trial

Prevention of Recurrent Spontaneous Preterm Delivery Using Probiotics (Clostridium butyricum, Enterococcus faecium, and Bacillus subtilis; PPP Trial): Protocol for a Prospective, Single-Arm, Nonblinded, Multicenter Trial

According to a systemic analysis, 13.4 million (12.3-15.2 million) live neonates were estimated to be delivered as preterm births ( s PTD is caused by multiple pathological processes [4,5,7], with intra-amniotic inflammation or infection being the main cause [7-9]. As the clinical characteristics of s PTD, severe intra-amniotic inflammation and infection were more frequent in the earlier weeks of gestation [8-10].
