2. hospital acquired infections
Hospital acquired infections, also known as nosocomial infections, can be contracted by patients or staff while receiving care in a hospital setting. They are usually caused by failure to follow aseptic techniques during procedures like surgery, IV insertion, or wound care. Patients, staff, and the hospital environment can all be sources of infection. Common routes of transmission include direct contact, droplets, contaminated equipment, and aerosols. Prevention strategies include isolating infectious patients, practicing good hand hygiene, wearing proper PPE, and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting or sterilizing equipment between uses.
Nosocomial infections
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, can develop in patients admitted to hospitals and transmitted through various routes. The magnitude of nosocomial infections in Tanzania is unknown but believed to occur in 5-10% of admitted patients. Risk factors include impaired immunity, pre-existing diseases, immunosuppressive therapies, and medical devices that bypass body defenses. Prevention strategies include establishing infection control programs, practicing sterilization, aseptic techniques, environmental cleaning and disinfection, protective clothing, isolation, surveillance, and rational antibiotic use.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
