It is one of the leading causes of death in HIV/AIDS positive patients. Tuberculosis can be seen in two ways, mainly lung tuberculosis and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Tuberculosis forms other than lung and laryngeal tuberculosis are not contagious. Today, the HIV epidemic and international migration are the main causes of the increase in the number of tuberculosis cases. In this collected work, lung and non-pulmonary forms of tuberculosis, clinical diagnosis, and current developments in diagnosis are summarized.","PeriodicalId":409345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pulmonology and Intensive Care","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134184656","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}

Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare the variables according to gender. Non-parametric Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationships between variables.\u0000Results: The difference between the mean ranks of the total number of prevalences, the total number of incidences, and the total number of deaths by gender were statistically significant. A strong and linear association was found between the risk factors and deaths due to COPD.\u0000Conclusion: Policies are needed to decrease the risk factors that lead to the development of COPD. The more risk factors can be controlled, the more lives can be saved.\u0000","PeriodicalId":409345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pulmonology and Intensive Care","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122988609","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}

About half of the participants (52.2%) held a secondaryschool diploma. While 31.3% worked as trainee nurses, 24.4% were employed as nurses. Similarly, approximately half of the participants (48.9%) were deployed in clinics, and 16.0% engaged in care in intensive care units. Given the way the participants experienced the occupational accident, 53.3% were injured with a needle-stick (syringe/branule) and 21.9% with a lancet. \u0000Conclusion: It is well-known that sharp object injuries constitute a significant portion of occupational accidents occurring to healthcare professionals. Accordingly, the measures to be adopted to prevent such undesirable situations may be led by uncovering the frequency of and underlying factors for sharp object injuries, causing worries among healthcare professionals and loss of workforce and even death.\u0000","PeriodicalId":409345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pulmonology and Intensive Care","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127587288","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}

In this study, it was aimed to retrospectively determine the distribution of bacterial factors isolated from intra-catheter blood culture and antibiotic susceptibility rates of patients diagnosed with catheter infection in the intensive care unit of XXXXXXX Training and Research Hospital, Cardiovascular Surgery and Neurosurgery.\u0000Methods: In the intensive care unit of XXXXXXX Training and Research Hospital, Cardiovascular Surgery, and Neurosurgery, 79 bacteria isolated from intra-catheter blood cultures of patients diagnosed with catheter infection between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022, were included in the study.Antibiotic susceptibility of the factors reproducing in catheter blood culture was obtained from the hospital information system. Antibiotic susceptibilities of bacteria isolated from intra-catheter culture were determined by the disc diffusion method or VITEK-2 automated system.\u0000Results: The frequency of factors reproducing from intra-catheter blood culture of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery were Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia. coli retrospectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from intra-catheter blood cultures were resistant to ceftriaxone 75%, piperacillin-tazobactam 25%, amikacin 6.25%, but not to imipenem and meropenem. Antibiotic resistance rates of Staphylococcus aureus isolates isolated from intra-catheter blood cultures were as follows: 100% with penicillin, no resistance to vancomycin. In Escherichia coliisolate isolated from intra-catheter blood cultures, resistance to ceftriaxone was 6.3%, to piperacillin-tazobactam, 12.5%, to imipenem and meropenem, 16.6%, but not to amikacin. Acinetobacter baumanniiisolates isolated from intra-catheter blood culture showed 100% resistance to ceftriaxone, 100% to piperacillin-tazobactam, 85.7% to imipenem, 83.3% to meropenem, and no resistance to amikacin. In the Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolatesisolated from intra-catheter blood culture, resistance to ceftriaxone, piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem and meropenem was 100% and levofloxacin was 25%, while no resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole was detected.\u0000Conclusion: Determining the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from catheter culture will contribute to the determination of the appropriate treatment option in the empirical treatment of catheter infections in our hospital and contribute to decreasing in mortality and morbidity rates due to catheter infections.","PeriodicalId":409345,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pulmonology and Intensive Care","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134537120","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}
