Therefore, current study aimed to evaluate the patient safety viewpoint among trainees in internship and residency programs in Kerman University of Medical Sciences (KUMS). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out on 275 trainees in internship and residency in KUMS, 2018. The data collection tool was the Persian version of World Health Organization, Patient Safety questionnaire which evaluates medical students’ knowledge (7 items) and attitude (35 items) toward patient safety. The minimum and maximum score was 7 and 35 for knowledge and 30 and 150 for attitude section. Data analyzed by SPSS 19 using T-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regressions. Results: The mean score of participants' knowledge was 19.63 which were significantly lower than the considered average. The mean score of participants' attitude was 97.33 which was considered higher than the average. Residents had higher knowledge and attitude scores compared to interns. A significant relationship was found between the knowledge score and age and the time spent in the current educational level. Conclusion: Our study showed that knowledge and attitude of interns and residents was almost moderate toward patient safety. The residents had a higher attitude and knowledge than interns. This is probably due to more work experience and training courses provided at the beginning of the residency program. Therefore, it is imperative that patient safety topics be considered in medical curriculum planning.","PeriodicalId":16681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of patient safety and quality improvement","volume":"44 1","pages":"105-109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87996506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overexpression of Her2-neu gene affects the growth and prognosis of some tumors. HER2 gene amplification is seen in about one-third of prostatic adenocarcinoma cases.it also seems to correlate with androgen independence of the prostate tumors. We evaluated the HER2-neu expression in prostate cancer and its relation with known prognostic factors, in this study. Material and Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of Her2-neu in 60 cases of prostate carcinoma. The relation between HER2-neu expression and prognostic factors of prostatic carcinoma was evaluated,which included serum PSA values , number of core involvement, high percentage of core involvement,Gleason score,Gleason grade,extra prostatic extension of the tumoral cells and tumor volume.Results: Among 60 patients included in our study ,Her2-neu was negative in 49 (81.7%) cases (zero score in 35 cases and score 1+ in 14 cases) , and a weakly positive expression (score 2+) was seen in 11 (%18/3) cases.Among evaluated factors, tumor volume was the only factor which significantly correlated with Her2-neu expression.Conclusion:The rate of Her2-neu expression was not high in our patients. Among various variables evaluated in our study,only tumor volume had significant statistical correlation with the expression of Her2-neu. According to low expression of Her2-neu in evaluated specimens in this study, it is necessary to conduct more studies to confirm the relationship of her2-neu and the known prognostic factors of prostate carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":16681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of patient safety and quality improvement","volume":"10 1","pages":"69-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82179527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective study with a qualitative approach based on the professional experience of Brazilian physicians who work in a private hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Materials and methods: The participants were twenty Brazilian physicians, including ten without medical errors and ten with medical errors. In-depth interviews were conducted with the physicians, and content analysis was conducted based on the phenomenological method. Results: No significant difference between the two groups was found. Both groups indicated that there is no error-free practice and that educational and health institutions offer no specific training for what to do when an error occurs. Physicians believe that they should not let themselves be influenced by society’s judgment of a physician who commits an error or by the medical error concept. The Brazilian media and society tend to blame physicians for their errors. The availability of a service or an institution that supports physicians who have committed a medical error is important because these professionals do not feel supported when an error occurs and feel that they require mental health support to face the ethical and civil proceedings. Well-established doctor-patient relationships can promote the well-being of medical practitioners. Conclusion: It is necessary to implement training and institutional practices that specify conduct conducive to improving Brazilian medical practice.","PeriodicalId":16681,"journal":{"name":"Journal of patient safety and quality improvement","volume":"280 1","pages":"41-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79691163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide instant contact between healthcare staff, while allowing doctors to perform tasks across the hospital. However the paging system causes interruptions and can interfere with patient care. We aim to develop and implement strategies to improve paging patterns and ultimately reduce unnecessary calls. Material and Methods: we conducted a retrospective analysis of electronic hospital bleep records over a 7-months period (March-September-2015) in which bleep logs were retrieved from the hospital paging system at University Hospital of Wales. The first cycle was followed by a set of interventions followed by a second data-collection cycle 12 months later.Results: The first cycle showed that on average the neurosurgical registrar received 57 bleeps per 24hrs. Almost a third of on-call bleeps were new referrals received from the local accident & emergency department or from other district hospitals. Other calls were received from our own hospital’s wards and Intensive Therapeutic Unit (10%), the paediatric ward (5%), neurosurgical theatres (5%) and emergency theatre (5%). The second cycle showed a 23% drop in the total number of bleeps compared to first cycle. The difference in bleep numbers was evident during the day shift, and no difference was noted during the night shift. No difference in the number of new referrals was noted.

Nurses have the highest employment rates in the healthcare occupations; therefore, they are a key to improving patient safety. Most reports of errors have focused on medicine errors by nurses or patient falls; however, the effects of different types of error and nurses’ experience have not been examined. The present study aimed to elucidate the factors that influence differences in reported near-miss incidents across clinical experience levels and department assignments. Material and Methods: A quantitative study was conducted using published data from the Japan Council for Quality Health Care. We analysed clinical experience level by near miss types. Results: A total of 17,105 cases were analysed (14,896 drug near misses, 1,857 medical device near misses, and 162 nursing near misses). Participants had a mean of 7.4 years of experience and a mean of 2.3 years within the department. Statistically significant differences between clinical experience level, events, drug administration, and medical devices used were observed. However, no differences were found in terms of nursing care near misses. Length of department assignment was related to the “human factors” in participants at Novice/Advanced beginner levels, as well as “environment/facilities and devices” in those at Competent and Proficient/Expert levels. The percentage of “environment/facilities and devices” that caused near misses with drugs and medical devices increased as clinical experience increased.

A dual head gamma camera (e-cam, Siemens) equipped with high energy parallel hole collimator was used for imaging. The images were acquired with 7cm/min and stored in a 1024 ×256 matrix. Results: 3 Patients had negative WBIS in all three sets of imaging and 17 patients had postsurgical thyroid remnants on all 3 scans. On days 4 and 7 we detected 11 patients with cervical lymph node metastases while on day 9 only 9 patients showed cervical lymph node metastases.(P=0.135)On all 3 sets of images, we encountered 4 patients with mediastinal lymph node metastases and 1 patient with bone metastasis. In addition, all 3 sets of images detected lung metastases in three patients. The total number of affected foci did not have any statistical differences in whole body scan of day 4, 7 and 9.
