BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the frequency and types of hand hygiene practices among healthcare workers directed by the WHO multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy, and investigated the effect of hand hygiene practice on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) isolation and MRSA acquisition rate and colonization pressure. METHODS: A quasi-experimental study was performed at a tertiary care university hospital with 850 beds from January to September 2012. We assessed the hospital hand hygiene program using the WHO hand hygiene self-assessment framework. The WHO multimodal strategy was used for healthcare workers with low indexes, and the subjects were reassessed. RESULTS: Hand hygiene compliance increased significantly from a pre-intervention rate of 58.7% to 72.6% post-intervention. MRSA and VRE isolation rates decreased from 1.69 per 1000 patient days to 1.41 and from 0.17 to 0.11, respectively. In intensive care units (ICUs), hand hygiene compliance rate rose to 77.9%, with a total score of 4.16 points out of 5 being awarded for the hand hygiene method, which was higher than that for the other care units. The pre-intervention MRSA acquisition rate in the ICU decreased from 7.47% to 4.30% post-intervention. This was associated with a decrease in the MRSA colonization pressure over the intervention period (26.2% to 16.9%). CONCLUSION: The utilization of the WHO multimodal strategy for improvement of hand hygiene increased the hand hygiene compliance rate and was effective in predicting a decreased rate of cross-infection, MRSA acquisition, and colonization pressure. We conclude that the implementation of such improvement strategies is crucial to maintaining hygiene standards and reducing infection within healthcare facilities.

With simple abdomen, double contrast colon study, and ultrasongraphy, authors retrospectively analyzedradilogic findings of 46 cases which were proved periappendiceal abscess, due to perforation of appendix, byhistology or follow-up ultrasnongraphy from May in 1983 to July in 1985 at Yeung-Nam University Hospital. Theresuls obtained were as follows: 1. Of 46 cases, 24 cases were males and 22 cases females, with the results ofabove statistics, periappendiceal abscess was not influenced by sex. 2. Periappendiceal abscess was mostfrequently demonstrated in forties. 3. Comparison of ultrasonography and B.E. Pseudorenal pattern(Ultrasonography)- well defined defect (B.E.) Cystic pattern(Ultrasonography)- serrated defect (B.E.) 4. Missed 2 cases inultrasonography were detected in B.E., i.e. sensitivity of B.E. is higher than that of ultrasonography. 5.Differences of ultrasonography and B.E.

6.Factors Associated with Work-Related Injuries of Nurses in Small and Medium Sized Hospitals.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to examine the factors associated with work related injuries of nurses in small and medium sized hospitals. Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with nurses in eight hospitals from October 2007 to January 2008. A questionnaire was designed to collect information on nurses' work related injuries, and individual and job related characteristics. The response rate was 65.1%. Data from 294 nurses were analyzed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with work related injuries. Result: Of the 294 nurses, 19.1% (n=56) responded as having at least one injury during their job performance. The logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant factors influencing work related injuries were job satisfaction, stress recognition, and hospital's location. Nurses with a higher job satisfaction were less likely to experience work related injuries (OR=0.58). Nurses with a higher stress recognition (OR=2.57) and those working at hospitals in metropolitan cities (OR=3.28) were more likely to experience work related injuries. CONCLUSIONS: The result of this study indicated that a substantial proportion of nurses in small and medium sized hospitals had experienced injuries related to nursing job. Interventions to prevent work related injuries among nurses should take into account the job satisfaction, stress recognition, and hospital characteristics.

OBJECTIVE: In adhesive capsulitis, assessment of the mobility of the shoulder are likely to have intrinsic error because of the altering scapulohumeral rhythm and extrinsic error. For more objective and the precise assessment of shoulder mobility in adhesive capsulitis, we observed proper glenohumeral movement, the change of scapulohumeral angle, the scapulohumeral rhythm were evaluated with radiography and compared with clinical measurement of shoulder range of motion (ROM). METHOD: The subjects were 19 patients (21 shoulder) with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder and undertook combination treatment of distention arthrography, per os medication of non-steroid anti- inflammatory drug, stellate ganglion block, physical therapy including exercise. We assessed change in visual analogue scale (VAS), joint space capacity, shoulder mobility by measurement of ROM, and scapulohumeral angle in active shoulder abduction under the fluroscopy. RESULTS: All the subjects experienced pain relief, increased shoulder mobility and restoration of scapulohumeral rhythm. The improvement of the shoulder extension and scapulohumeral angle is well correlated with the change of VAS and joint capacity. However, the improvement of the shoulder flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation were poor correlated with them. CONCLUSION: We propose the measurement of scapulohumeral angle with active shoulder abduction in shoulder AP view as an assessment method for shoulder mobility in adhesive capsulitis.
