Hospital infections are infections contracted by a patient during a hospital stay or within 30 days of discharge. They can spread via contact with contaminated equipment, air/water, other patients, or staff. Preventing hospital infections requires isolating infected patients, frequent handwashing and gloving by staff, sanitizing surfaces, using protective aprons, and mitigating the spread of infection between patients and the environment.

Hospital infections
Hospital infections are infections that patients acquire during their treatment in a healthcare setting. They can occur up to 30 days after discharge from a hospital. Hospital infections spread through various modes of transmission including contact, droplets, common vehicles, and indirect contact with contaminated equipment or surfaces. Preventing the spread requires proper isolation protocols, diligent hand hygiene, regular sanitization of surfaces, use of protective barriers like aprons, and mitigation of risks.
Nosocomial infection (HAIs)
Any clinical infection that was neither present nor was in its incubation period when the patient is admitted in a hospital. The term "nosocomial" comes from two Greek words: "nosus" meaning "disease" + "komeion" meaning "to take care of." It is now synonymous with hospital-acquired. Other voice called as health-care-associated infections. In the HAIs infection majorly three types of the can are affected, people Immunocompromised patients, Presence of microorganisms in hospital Environment, Transmission of pathogens between staff and patients and among patients. By the pathogens for bacteria, fungi, virus, and several protozoa. Ex. Bacteria is Superbugs (MRSA), Fungi is Aspergillus spp., Protozoa is Sarcoptes scabiei, and the virus is Enteroviruses. Byways of transmission Contact Airborne, Droplet, Vehicle, Vector, and some Surgical instruments disease can spread. In this pathogens and pathogenicity are caused by Average Incidence - 5% to 10%, but maybe up to 28% in ICU, Bacteraemia, Respiratory tract infection, Skin, and soft tissue infection, Surgical infection, Urinary tract infection, Eye infection. Risk factor for the usage of antibiotics and malnutrition of child and old men, immunosuppression. Diagnostic on the microorganisms is an evaluation of symptoms and signs of infection and Direct smear examination Culture Sensitivity testing (Gram staining, H&E staining and etc.). Treatment for the particular infection’s antibiotic, antifungal, and antiviral drugs or therapy.

Nosocomial infection
Nosocomial infections, also known as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), develop in patients during or after a hospital stay. Common types include central line-associated bloodstream infections, catheter-associated urinary tract infections, surgical site infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Nosocomial infections can arise from a patient's own microbes or microbes transmitted from other patients, staff, or the hospital environment. Globally, nosocomial infections affect a huge number of patients annually, increasing mortality and costs significantly. According to WHO estimates, approximately 15% of hospitalized patients suffer from these infections.

ABSTRACT
Nosocomial infections are infections acquired in hospital or healthcare service unit that first appear 48 hours or more after hospital admission or within 30 days after discharge following in-patient care. The main routes of transmission of nosocomial infections are contact, airborne, common vehicle and vector borne. Common infections are urinary tract infections (UTI), surgical and soft tissue infections, gastroenteritis, meningitis and respiratory infections. The agents that are usually involved in hospital acquired infections are Streptococcus sp., Acinetobacter sp., Enterococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Coagulase negative Staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Legionella and Enterobacteriaceae family members including Proteus mirablis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens. Out of these Enterococci, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and E. coli have a major role. Various infection control programmes and organizations help to lower the risk of an infection during and after the period of hospitalization.

It describes the risk of infections in ICUs, types of infections by origin and site, epidemiological interactions, disease burden, and consequences. It also discusses agents, transmission modes, and risk factors for nosocomial infections.
Nosocomial infection
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, develop due to factors in a hospital environment that weaken patient immunity. They affect millions of patients annually in the US and Europe, causing tens of thousands of deaths. Common types include urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and surgical site infections. Contaminated surfaces and equipment facilitate the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria between vulnerable patients.
Nosocomial infections epidemiology and key concepts
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving medical treatment for other conditions within healthcare facilities. They are an important public health problem due to their frequency, associated increased morbidity and mortality, and costs. Nosocomial infections can increase patient's length of hospital stay by 5-10 days on average and double their risk of death. Strict infection control practices and standard precautions like proper hand hygiene are essential to breaking the chain of transmission between patients and healthcare workers within hospitals.
Infection control in healthcare facilities
Infection control in healthcare facilities requires strict adherence to practices like aseptic technique, standard precautions, and proper hand hygiene. Key factors in preventing transmission of pathogens include proper handwashing, use of personal protective equipment, cleaning and disinfection/sterilization of medical equipment, vaccination of healthcare workers, isolation protocols for infectious patients, and surveillance and investigation of potential disease outbreaks. Training and certification in infection control help ensure healthcare workers have the knowledge and skills needed to implement best practices.

Infection control
The document discusses infection control and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. It defines infections as diseases caused by pathogens or microorganisms growing in the body. Infections can be generalized, affecting the entire body, or localized to a specific area. The main goals of infection control are to prevent infectious disease transmission by decreasing microbial sources, blocking transmission routes, and strengthening host resistance. Standard precautions like hand hygiene and personal protective equipment are key to breaking the chain of infection.
Nosocomial infection
Hospital acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections, are infections that patients acquire during the course of receiving treatment for other conditions within a healthcare setting. These infections can spread through direct contact or indirectly through hands, equipment, and the environment. Standard precautions like proper hand hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment are important for preventing the transmission of infections between patients and staff. Additional precautions tailored to specific infection types may also be implemented, such as isolating patients, wearing protective masks, and limiting movement. Regular surveillance and adherence to infection control guidelines and manuals are necessary to effectively reduce hospital acquired infections.
Hospital acquired infection
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections acquired during medical care. The document discusses the etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of HAIs. The three main types are bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. Risk factors include underlying illness, invasive devices like ventilators or catheters, and prolonged hospital stays. Diagnosis involves cultures of infected sites and imaging when needed. Treatment involves removing unnecessary devices, giving empiric antibiotics, and later streamlining based on culture results. Management also requires addressing any complications.

An infection may cause no symptoms and be subclinical, or it may cause symptoms and be clinically apparent.
An infection may remain localized, or it may spread through the blood or lymphatic vessels to become systemic (body wide).
Microorganisms that live naturally in the body are not considered infections.
For example, bacteria that normally live within the mouth and intestine are not infections.
Infection prevention policies and practices are used in hospitals and other health care facilities to reduce the spread of infections.
Hospital acquired infections
Infection occurring in a patient in a hospital or other health care facility in whom the infection was not present or incubating at the time of admission.

Hospital Acquired infections, also called nosocomial infections can be defined as the infections acquired by the patients in the hospital by a patient -
1. who was admitted for a reason other than that infection.
2. In whom infection was not present or incubated at the time of admission.
3. Symptoms should appear at least after 48 hours of admission.
In these slides, microbes responsible for hospital acquired infections and preventive strategies are shared.
Nosocomial infection 1.pptx
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, develop in patients after admission to the hospital for treatment of other illnesses. Sources can be exogenous from other patients, staff, or contaminated equipment, or endogenous from the patient's own microflora. Factors that increase risk include older or younger age, underlying illnesses, prior infections, and invasive medical procedures. Common types of nosocomial infections include urinary tract, respiratory, surgical site, bloodstream, and gastrointestinal infections. Prevention strategies involve proper sterilization, cleaning, hand hygiene, aseptic techniques, protective clothing, equipment disinfection, hospital design, and surveillance.
Hospitalacquiredinfections 121216105351-phpapp02
Hospital acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections, can be acquired during or after a hospital stay. They are caused by a variety of microorganisms transmitted through contact with other patients, staff, medical equipment, or the hospital environment. Effective control measures include strict hand hygiene, isolation precautions, environmental cleaning, antimicrobial stewardship, and surveillance programs to monitor infection rates and identify outbreaks. The infection control team plays a key role in developing policies, educating staff, and conducting audits to prevent the spread of nosocomial infections.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.vonoprazan A novel drug for GERD presentation

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Hospital infections
- 1. Presented By: Deeksha Verma B.Pharm 2nd year M.E.T Faculty Of Pharmacy Moradabad
- 2. What Are Hospital infections? Hospital infections are infections that are results of treatment in the hospitals/healthcare units. Infections are considered as hospital infections if they- •1st appear in 48 hours or more after hospital admission. •Within 30 days after discharge.
- 3. “Nosokomeio” meaning HOSPITAL. Where, NOSOCOMIAL comes from the greek word ‘NOSOS’ means Disease ‘KOMEO’ means To Take care Of
- 4. Prerequisites for infections A susceptible host A microbe capable of producing an infection An envt. Favorable for the growth of microbes
- 5. Nosocomial infection From another patient/staff/envt. From the patient’s own flora Exo- genous Endo- genous Important sources are:- •Contaminated air,water,food and medicines •Used equipments •Soiled linen •Hospital waste(Bio-medical waste)
- 6. Mode Of Transmission Contact Transmission Droplet Transmission Airborne Transmission Common vehicle Transmission Vector Borne Transmission Direct Transmission Indirect Transmission
- 8. Preventions 1. Isolation 2. Handwashing And Gloving 3. Surface Senitisation 4. Aprons 5. Mitigation
- 9. Isolation Isolation precautions are designed to prevent transmission of microorganisms by common routes in hospitals, Because agents and host factors are more difficult to control.
- 10. Handwashing And Gloving Handwashing frequently is called the Single most importantmeasure to Reduce therisk of transmitting skin Microorganisms fromone person to Another or fromone site to another On the same patient. In addition to handwashing, Gloves play an important role in reducing the risk of transmission of microorganism. They are worn to provide a protective barrier, alsoprevents fromcontamination of the hands when touchingblood, body fluids, excretions, mucuos membranes etc.
- 11. Surface senitisation Sanitising surfaces is an often overlooked yet critical component of breaking the cycle of infection in health care environments. Modern sanitizing methods such as NAV-CO2 have been effective against gastroenteritis, MRSA, and influenza. Use of hydrogen peroxide vapour has been clinically proven to reduce infection rates and risk of acquisition.
- 12. Aprons Wearing an apron during patient care reduces the risk of infection. The apron should either be disposable or be used only when caring for a specific patient.
- 13. Mitigation
