Infection

13.9K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

6.4K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.5K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

14.5K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Economics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Physician Compensation

Background:

  • Physician compensation is influenced by numerous factors, making negotiations complex.
  • Existing national compensation surveys for infectious diseases (ID) specialists often use small samples and may not align with physician perceptions.
  • ID specialists offer diverse services, including patient care and administrative leadership.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current compensation of diverse infectious diseases (ID) specialists.
  • To analyze findings from the 2015 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Physician Compensation survey.
  • To focus on respondents whose primary responsibility is patient care and compare results with existing data.

Main Methods:

  • The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) conducted a compensation survey in July 2015.
  • Data were collected from IDSA members.
  • Results were reported by members of the IDSA's Clinical Affairs Committee.

Main Results:

  • The survey captured compensation data from a diverse range of ID specialists.
  • Specific focus was placed on respondents identifying patient care as their primary role.
  • Findings were compared and contrasted with other available survey data.

Conclusions:

  • The 2015 IDSA survey provides a more comprehensive view of ID physician compensation.
  • Understanding compensation nuances is crucial for ID specialists, especially those in direct patient care.
  • This data can inform future compensation negotiations and surveys within the field.
