Filter by:Colistin is an antibiotic active against several classes of multi-resistant gram-negative bacteria; the drug should be used in high doses in patients on continuous renal replacement therapy, since the drug is eliminated through the dialysis filter. This is an Open-label, Phase 4, interventional, prospective, single-center pilot study aimed to analyze the concentrations of colistin in plasma and ultrafiltrate by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, in 20 critically ill patients admitted to intensive care and suffering from severe infections by multi-resistant bacteria, who receive continuous renal replacement therapy.
The scientific, feasible and effective mode of standardized cleaning and disinfection of ICU high-frequency contact surfaces is discussed and verified.
Urology departments from all over the world are invited to join the Global Prevalence Study on Infections in Urology (GPIU-study) and the GPIU Prostate Biopsy Side Study. The GPIU study is taking part annually in November since 2003. European urologists were the first group of specialist to register hospital acquired infections on an international level. More than 20.000 patients have been screened and more than 2000 patients are currently listed in this database. Why? Infectious complications after urological procedures, such as prostate biopsy and increasing antimicrobial resistance are posing significant threats to modern urology The GPIU-study is a combined quality improvement initiative and a scientific study. Once the participating departments have filled in the report forms they will get access to statistics showing the accumulated results for all participating hospitals. The participants can anonymously compare their own results with hospitals from all over the World. The GPIU-study application has been designed as an instrument to ongoing follow-up of the development of important factors related to infection on international, national and local levels.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Polymyxin B for treatment Gram negative bacterial infection. The hypothesis of study is Polymyxin B would be the new antibacterial agents for Thai Gram negative infected patients in case of desirable outcomes and minimal side effects.
