Methodology: From January 2013 to October 2019, 99 adult patients of both gender with cirrhosis and ascites were admitted to Baghdad Medical city complex with decompensated cirrhosis as encephalopathy, new gastrointestinal bleeding, increasing ascites, abdominal pain, and/or fever and were labelled SBP after ascetic fluid analysis. Causative agent, its antibiotic sensitivity and resistance were recorded. Results: Mean age of patients was 52±11 years, 72.7% were men and 27.3% women, 53.5% are middle-aged adults, and 31.3% are geriatrics (over 60). E-coli (36.36%) was the most common bacterium recovered, followed by enterobacter (15.15%) and staphylococcus (13.13%). There was a correlation between age and bacteria. E-coli infected 46.7% of young adults, 32.1% of middle-aged, and 38.7% of geriatrics. S. aureus infected 26.7% of young people and Enterobacter 20.8% of middle-aged individuals. Ampicillin and cefepime were very effective to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Amikacin and ciprofloxacin had good Pseudomonas and Proteus sensitivity. Cefotaxime, ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cotrimoxazole, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam, and vancomycin were effective against their pathogens. Conclusion: E-coli and Enterobacter caused SBP, which affected middle-aged men. These findings highlight the need of choosing antibiotics based on pathogen susceptibility to optimise SBP therapy.","PeriodicalId":20844,"journal":{"name":"Rawal Medical Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135357388","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}

Constructed tool which contained 48 items was used for data collection and was divided in six parts. We used a questionnaire-based interview technique. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistical and inferential statistical analysis. Results: Out of 267 patients, 51.7% were male, 81.28% were aged 40 years and more and 50.5% had primary school education. 53.9% were unemployed, and 82.8% ware married. Regarding patient’s quality of life, the grand mean of score for all domains, as well as the overall mean of score for quality-of-life aspects were moderate.

Methodology: This comparative interventional single-center study was conducted from May 2020 to November 2021 at Basra Teaching Hospital, Iraq. Fifty patients in group A underwent the single-step dilatation and 70 patients in group B were subjected to the stepwise dilatation technique in percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We recorded number of punctures, operation time, complications and success. Results: There were no significant statistical differences in both groups regarding success rate, hospital stay, intra and postoperative complications, and bleeding that required blood transfusion. The stepwise dilatation technique had a considerably longer mean dilatation time than the single-step method did. The single-step dilatation technique had a much shorter mean radiation exposure a shorter mean total operating time than the stepwise strategy. Conclusion: The construction and dilatation of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostomy tract can be successfully carried out using a single-step dilatation procedure, which requires less radiation exposure, less time during surgery, and shorter dilatation time.","PeriodicalId":20844,"journal":{"name":"Rawal Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70840096","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}
