Prevalence of Antibiotics Resistant Salmonella in the Abidjan North Wastewater in 2012 and Potential Health Risks to the Population | Chapter 05 | Recent Advances in Biological Research Vol. 1

Salmonella cause salmonellosis, a disease which most common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to highlight the health risks linked to Salmonella for the population through the study of wastewater in the Indénié wastewater discharge adjacent to major effluents in the Gourou Basin.

Materials and Methods: From June to August 2012, wastewater samples were collected from two selected reservoir adjacent to the Gourou Basin collectors at the crossroads of Indénié in Abidjan. About 500 mL of collected wastewater was used to search for the bacteria of the genus Salmonella according to the standard NF EN ISO 6579. The identification was made using the API 20E gallery and confirmed by MADITOFF-MS. Bacteria strains serotyping was performed and the Kirby Baeur disc diffusion method was used for the antibiotic and susceptibility study.

Results and Discussion: A total of 112 samples were collected and were used to isolate 18 strains of Salmonella. Serotyping showed 8 different serotypes with a predominance of Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Poeseldorf. The prevalence of Salmonella resistant to antibiotics in this study was 4.46%. About 27.80% of antibiotic resistant Salmonella, were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Salmonella strains were all sensitive (100%) to 3rd generation cephalosporins (C3G), 16.67% of resistant strains showed cross-resistance to quinolones. In this study, it was demonstrated the biological risks involved by the presence of Salmonella in the wastewater. The prevalence rate and the serotype highlighted were different from that of similar study conducted in Africa.

Conclusion: The wastewater contamination by Salmonella may constitute a risk of diffusion of antibiotic resistant Salmonella in the population. The Gourou Basin that had been studied conveys wastewater contaminated with Salmonella resistant to antibiotics. The outcome of our findings highlighted a significant risk of morbidity for people linked to the risk of Salmonella infections but also the possibility of therapeutic failure.

A Prospective Study about Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Lidocaine Infusion | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 Opioids cause clinically significant side effects such as respiratory depression, immunosuppression, muscle rigidity, negative inotropism, nausea, vomiting, hyperalgesia, urine retention, postoperative ileus, and drowsiness. Perioperative opioids are a major contributor to the United States' and other countries' opioid epidemics. Non-opioid analgesics, particularly lidocaine, are becoming more common for perioperative use as a result of this. A total of 185 adult patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group I (105 patients) [fentanyl group] or group ii (80 patients) [opioid-free anaesthesia group]. Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion intraoperatively, and 1.5-2 mg/kg/h infusion for 2-8 hours postoperatively were given to patients in both groups at anaesthetic induction. Intraoperatively, both groups received analgesic adjuvants such as diclofenac 75 mg, paracetamol 1 gm, and mgso4 30-50 mg/kg. If the mean arterial pressure (map)

A Brief Study of Middleware Technologies: Programming Applications and Management Systems | Chapter 15 | Novel Research Aspects in Mathematical and Computer Science Vol. 1

  Many platforms, services, applications, hardware, and operating systems are connected through the middleware layer. Because the middleware layer abstracts much low-level complexity and makes applications and software systems portable, it allows disparate systems to interface and function together in harmony. Middleware technologies enable software engineers to swiftly construct software systems and applications, allowing developers to focus on more important tasks. This chapter examines several types of middleware systems and discusses middleware capabilities, middleware operation, middleware's function in cloud-based systems, and the best middleware platforms to use. Middleware systems are widely utilised and can be found in practically any software system or application. Middleware programmes provide as a link between many sorts of systems and protocols. They serve as a mechanism for various systems. To successfully exchange information, it runs on a variety of operating system

Patients’ Perspective of Acute Post-operative Pain Management: A Multicentre Survey of Tertiary Hospitals in Maharashtra, India | Chapter 08 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

 When postoperative pain is adequately controlled, patients' satisfaction and patient-related outcomes (PROs) increase. Understanding the patients' perspective is crucial since it supports in the formulation of improvement strategies. Because wrong attitudes and assumptions might block pain alleviation, patients' attitudes and beliefs are critical. As a result, a multicenter study of patients' attitudes, beliefs, experiences, and satisfaction levels with acute postoperative pain management was done in Maharashtra's tertiary hospitals. In addition, the responses were examined to evaluate if the Acute Pain Service (APS) resulted in improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. A 13-item questionnaire adapted from previous studies was used to capture patients' experiences with postoperative pain treatment. The responses of 179 patients are included in the study. The findings revealed that 91.6 percent of patients experienced postoperative pain, with 75.5 percent
