RESUMO
Introduction: Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective treatment for morbid obesity with proven benefits in terms of improvement of the quality of life, obesity related morbidity and obesity related mortality. Safety of bariatric surgery is widely documented in the literature. In this review, we discuss types of bariatric surgeries and their safety and complications
Methods: A review of the current literature concerning bariatric surgery and its complications and safety was undertaken
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is very safe with safety profile comparable to commonly performed abdominal surgeries
RESUMO
The correct registration, reporting and analysis of the resistance situation within a hospital is the first step in halting the emergence of antibiotic resistance, we therefore decided o analyze prevalence of bacteria and current trends of antibiotic resistance within our hospital. Orthopaedic ward of Mayo Hospital Lahore. Nov 2003 to Apr 2004. Isolates were taken from 157 patients admitted in Orthopaedic ward of Mayo Hospital Lahore during 6 months period randomly. The samples were collected from patient's wounds, the patients were not given any antibiotics 48 hours prior to collection of the specimen. Isolates were also taken from the environment [Rooms, AC ducts, corridors of the wards, operation theatre] and OT instruments. Isolates were inoculated on standard media in optimum environment and standard internationally accepted methods were applied for identification of bacteria. We found out that the most prevalent bacterium to be staphylococcus aureus 33 [1 8.75%] and seven were MRSA susceptible to Amikacin only. Where as the other bacteria pseudomonas auregenosa 38 [21.59%], E. Coli 19 [10.79%]. Proteus 14 [7.95%]. Streptococcus pyogenes 10 [5.68%], enterobacter 8 [4.55%], Klebsiella 5 [2.84%] more or less showed sensitivity to Amikacin. No growth was seen in 36 cases From among the 50 evironmental isolates, Bacillus 18 [36%] Staphylococcus in combination with bacillus 23 [46%] and No growth in 9 [18%]
