Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.3K
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...

pre-mRNA Processing02:01

pre-mRNA Processing

57.7K
In eukaryotic cells, transcripts made by RNA polymerase are modified and processed before exiting the nucleus. Unprocessed RNA is called precursor mRNA or pre-mRNA to distinguish it from mature mRNA.
Once about 20-40 ribonucleotides have been joined together by RNA polymerase, a group of enzymes adds a “cap” to the 5’ end of the growing transcript. In this process, a 5’ phosphate is replaced by modified guanosine that has a methyl group attached to it (7-Methyl...

Cancer Prevention

8.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison01:14

Prevention of Further Absorption of Poison

1.3K
In cases of acute poisoning, the primary objective is to prevent further absorption of the toxic substance into the body. Immediate interventions using various decontamination techniques targeting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract can achieve this. Decontamination is crucial to prevent poison from entering the systemic circulation, which involves washing affected areas with water and mild soap and removing contaminated clothing. Once external decontamination is done, attention must be turned to...

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.2K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • New-onset HIV diagnoses in adolescents present rare but significant challenges for primary care pediatricians.
    • Standard safe sex counseling and STD screening may not be sufficient to prevent HIV acquisition in at-risk adolescents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce primary care pediatricians to the concept and clinical application of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).
    • To provide guidance on patient eligibility, prescribing practices, and essential monitoring for adolescent PrEP use.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current guidelines and clinical considerations for initiating PrEP in adolescents.
    • Discussion of practical aspects of PrEP management, including drug selection, adherence support, and follow-up protocols.

    Main Results:

    • The article aims to equip pediatricians with the knowledge to integrate PrEP into routine adolescent care.
    • Successful implementation of PrEP can significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission in this vulnerable population.

    Conclusions:

    • HIV PrEP is a crucial tool for preventing new HIV infections in adolescents.
    • Pediatricians play a vital role in identifying eligible patients and initiating PrEP to improve adolescent health outcomes.
