The overall self-reported compliance score was 87% and was significantly higher among nurses. There was weak positive correlation between knowledge and practice (correlation coefficient 0.266, p=0.001).

Knowledge and compliance of central line bundle were generally high in our HCWs. Training is important in improving knowledge of central line bundle. Future educational activities should focus on specific compliance deficiencies such as using the subclavian site and dressing change.

Due to the higher transmissibility and infectiousness, asymptomatic infection, and lack of effective treatment options and vaccine, fatalities and morbidities are increasing day by day globally. Despite physical health consequences, COVID-19 pandemic has created stress and anxiety, as result there is an increased risk of mental illnesses both in the infected and normal individuals. To eradicate these risks, it is necessary to determine the COVID-19 zoonotic source of transmission to humans and clinical manifestations in infected individuals. Although, identification or development of the highly effective therapeutic agents is necessary, however, development of protective strategies against the COVID-19 by enhancing immune responses will be an asset in the current scenarios of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we discuss the transmission, health consequences, and potential management (therapeutic and preventive) options for COVID-19 disease.Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) is a neoplasm of B cells from the extranodal marginal zone and a non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype. We report a case of MALT lymphoma in the hard palate in a 74-year-old woman with the previous diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia. The intetion about this letter is to show the appropriate clinical conduct and the diagnostic challenge about this pathlogy in oral cavity, stressing the importance to incisional biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis to guide the right diagnostic of this rare lesion.

Opioids have long been used as an effective form of analgesia for pain in the postoperative setting; however, their addictive potential and associated complications have become a detriment. There has been an increasing movement to decrease opioid prescribing.

The aim of this study was to look at common bariatric surgery procedures at a single institution and compare opioid usage before and after the implementation of a multimodal pain regimen.

Community program, hospital-employed, and private practice, United States.

Six hundred twelve laparoscopic gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy patients were included in this single-institution retrospective cohort study. Data were obtained from chart review. Comparison was made between patients from 2016 and patients from a 3-month period in 2017 when the new pain management protocol had been instituted.

The postoperative opioid usage of 516 patients from 2016 was compared with that of 96 patients from a 3-month period in 2017 after initiating the new pain management protocol. The mean intravenous hydromorphone usage of the control group, 16.0 ± 14.6 morphine milligram equivalent (or 4.0 mg ± .2), over the postoperative inpatient stay decreased to 7.3 ± 6.7 morphine milligram equivalent (or 1.8 mg ± .2) in the study group. This represents a 55% decrease. The study group did show less 30-day postoperative complications compared with the control, 1.04% and 2.13%, respectively, although this was not statistically significant.

A multimodal pain regimen is an effective way to cut opioid usage with no statisticaldifference in overall 30-day complications.

Telomere length (TL) is one biomarker of cell aging used to explore the effects of the environment on age-related pathologies. Obesity and high body mass index have been identified as a risk factors for shortened TL.

To evaluate TL in different subtypes of obese patients, and to examine changes in TL in relation to weight loss after bariatric surgery.

University Hospital in Spain.

A cohort of 94 patients submitted to bariatric surgery were followed-up during 24 months (t

lost to follow-up = 0%). All patients were evaluated before surgery (t

) and during the postoperative period (t

, t

, and t

) for body mass index and metabolic variables. We assessed TL at each timepoint using quantitative polymerase chain reactions and the telomere sequence to single-copy gene sequence ratio method.

Patients with class III obesity showed significantly shorter TL at baseline than those patients with class II obesity (P = .027). No differences in TL were found between patients with or without type 2 diabetes ormonths.Nowadays, several developing countries have started to breed double-muscled cattle to their autochthonous cattle to improve meat production. However, the developmental competence of the resultant crossbreeding embryos is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of crossbreeding double-muscled (Belgian Blue; BB) semen with beef (Limousin; LIM) and dairy (Holstein-Friesian; HF) derived oocytes on embryo development and quality, using purebred BB as a control (BB oocytes fertilized by BB sperm). A single ejaculate of a BB bull was evaluated by Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis before using for in vitro fertilization. Actinomycin D concentration Ovaries from each breed were collected at the local slaughterhouse (n = 1,720 oocytes). All statistical analyses were performed using R-core (P less then 0.05). Embryo quality was evaluated via differential-apoptotic staining of day 8 blastocysts. Cleavage (48 h post insemination) and day 8 blastocyst rates were greater (P less then 0.05) for LIM (82.9 ± 6 and 27 ± 4.3%, respectively) than for BB (69.
