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, 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.
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, can develop within hospitals or after discharge. They affect 5-10% of admitted patients globally and are a significant cause of mortality, morbidity, and increased healthcare costs. Common sources of transmission include other patients, contaminated equipment, and patients' own skin or respiratory flora. Prevention strategies include establishing infection control programs, proper sterilization and aseptic techniques, environmental cleaning and disinfection, protective clothing, isolation protocols, surveillance, and judicious antibiotic use.

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system. Neurons are the basic structural and functional units that conduct nerve impulses. There are different types of neurons including sensory neurons that transmit impulses to the CNS, motor neurons that control muscles and glands, and interneurons within the CNS. The peripheral nervous system branches throughout the body and includes cranial and spinal nerves. The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions and has sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
