Vesicant medications are found to be one of the causes of phlebitis, especially in pediatric patients.Objective: To investigate the correlation between the use of vesicant medications and phlebitis incidence.Material and methods: The study was descriptive observational conducted over the period of June-July 2022 in a pediatric ward. The inclusion criteria were male or female pediatric inpatients, aged 1 month-18 years, and receiving medication via intravenous infusion for >24 hours. The data obtained were then analyzed for correlations by using bivariate and multivariate analysis.Results and conclusion: A total of 174 patients met the inclusion criteria; 27.6% experienced phlebitis, and 37.9% received vesicant medications. The most frequently used vesicant medications in the pediatric ward was gentamicin (74.24%). The use of vesicants and administration of >3 intravenous drugs showed statistically significant results associated with the incidence of phlebitis, with RR: 4.17 (P < 0.001; CI = 2.1-8.3) and RR = 2.6 (P = 0.012; CI = 1.2-5.5), respectively. The multivariate test results showed that the use of vesicants was a risk factor for phlebitis, with OR = 4.41 (P < 0.001; CI = 2.0-9.7). The use of vesicants is associated with the incidence of phlebitis in a pediatric inpatient ward.","PeriodicalId":94339,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences","volume":"16 Suppl 4","pages":"S4103-S4106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11805223/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143384869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and cytotoxicity (MTT assay) were also evaluated.Results: The extract contained several major phytochemicals with significant activity against ESKAPE pathogens. The MIC values were 50 mg/mL for Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 100 mg/mL for Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus, and 25 mg/mL for Escherichia coli. The MBC values were 25 mg/mL for Escherichia coli and 100 mg/mL for the other ESKAPE pathogens.Conclusion: The methanolic extract of Valeriana officinalis L. demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity, with relatively low MIC and MBC values against ESKAPE pathogens responsible for HAIs.","PeriodicalId":94339,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences","volume":"16 Suppl 5","pages":"S4649-S4654"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11888659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143588683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study evaluated the effectiveness of a microsurgical approach in reducing complication rates and achieving good tumor control in parasagittal and falcine meningiomas. A study involving 20 patients with parasagittal and falcine meningiomas underwent surgery at Madurai Medical College between January 2023 and December 2023. Preoperative imaging and meticulous planning were used to preserve critical venous structures and maximize safe tumor resection. Outcomes were assessed on complete resection rates, postoperative complications, and overall survival. Complete resection was achieved in 75% of cases, with a postoperative morbidity rate of 25%. Patients with tumors involving the middle third of the superior sagittal sinus faced higher risks of postoperative complications, emphasizing the importance of precise surgical navigation. The study found that a microsurgical approach, coupled with comprehensive preoperative assessment, significantly improved patient outcomes, reducing complications and enhancing survival rates. The study emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing parasagittal and falcine meningiomas, emphasizing the need for advanced imaging techniques and microsurgical planning.","PeriodicalId":94339,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences","volume":"16 Suppl 5","pages":"S4940-S4943"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11888675/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143588897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
