In the case of patients with neurological diseases, the incidence and the risk factors of nosocomial sinusitis have not been well studied. Methods We conducted a retrospective study including patients with nasogastric tube in the neurology department. The demographic information, the clinical data and the severity evaluation including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were collected. Results: A total of 118 patients were enrolled, and 50 of them were treated in neuro-intensive care unit (NCU). Up to 56.78% of all the patients and 54% of NCU patients have developed nosocomial sinusitis. The length of stay in NCU was significantly correlated with nosocomial sinusitis with the P-value of 0.048. Compared with patients without nosocomial sinusitis, patients with nosocomial sinusitis revealed higher percentage of tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation and longer ventilation duration, though not significantly. The high incidence time of nosocomial sinusitis after indwelling gastric tube was 1.74-9.88 days. Conclusion: Nosocomial sinusitis was highly prevalent in neurological patients with nasogastric tubes. The length of stay in NCU was significantly correlated with nosocomial sinusitis. More research is warranted to elucidate the risk factors for nosocomial sinusitis.","PeriodicalId":431682,"journal":{"name":"Current trends in Internal Medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123008485","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}

At this time, records described using specific botanical formulations, the “Four Thieves” recipe and Nostradamus’ “Rose Petal Lozenges”, as successful therapies for preventing plague-associated bacterial infections. Purpose: This study describes the characterization of the antibacterial activity associated with botanical extractions prepared from these medieval formulations against Yersinia pseudotuberculosis , a related species of Y. pestis , the causative agent of the Plague. Methods: Ethanol and acetic acid extracts were prepared from16 botanicals that may have been used in masks or formulated into tinctures to protect medieval populations from contracting the Plague. These extracts were tested in a dose-dependent manner related to inhibition of the growth of Y. pseudotuberculosis . Results and Conclusions: The results suggest which botanicals may have been useful in reducing infection during the historically detrimental pandemic of Y. pestis . With a renewed and emerging threat of Yersinia -related infections, the results provide insight into the history of botanical medicine and indicate which botanicals may act as another defensive measure against future Yersinia -related infections.","PeriodicalId":431682,"journal":{"name":"Current trends in Internal Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129512401","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}
