INTRODUCTION. Clostridium difficile associated colitis became over last years a worldwide medical issue. It involves patients of the Polish hospitals too. The aim of the study was the analysis of CDAD incidence and the course of infection in Gastroenterology Ward of Regional Specialist Hospital of Zgierz, 2012-2015. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Retrospective analysis of the medical documentation of 79 patients with CDAD was performed. Demographic and epidemiological data and the clinical course of infection were analyzed. RESULTS. The study group comprised of women in 59,5% and men in 40,5%. The patients’ average age was 70,5 years. The average hospitalization period was 10,3 days. CDAD infection seasonality was proved, with statistically significant peak in springtime. 73% of patients were previously hospitalized and 85% - had co-morbidities. 76% of patients underwent antibiotherapy, whilst 29% - used PPI prior to CDAD diagnosis. 50,6% of patients had severe CDAD diagnosed. The recurrence reached 14%. In 19% of patients CDAD resulted in death. DISCUSSION. The results of the study confirm increase of the incidence of the patients with CDAD in Gastroenterology Ward over 4-years’ observation. The prevalence was higher among 65+ patients, after prior hospitalization and antibiotherapy. The co-morbidities was a significant risk factor, especially common in severe cases. CONCLUSION. The results we obtained confirm substantial importance of Clostridium difficile infection leading to antibiotherapy- associated diarrhea among adults, causing prolonged hospitalization, increased prevalence and mortality of patients. Getting to know and minimizing the risk factors will prevent the future outbreak of the disease.

Aim of this paper was to determine the frequency of congenital anomalies in a sample of newborns of Tuzla Canton and as well as their distribution according to gender, mother’s age and marital distance category. Research was undertaken using the retrospective analysis on the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics of University Clinical Center in Tuzla. By analyzing medical documentation of 17223 newborns, we determined the frequency of congenital anomalies of 5.24%. Highest frequency of congenital anomalies was found in the newborns whose mothers are older than 35. It was found that the frequency of congenital anomalies in the observed population is within the range of variation of this parameter with data from the literature.

Subject. One of the urgent problems of modern health care is to provide quality and effective dental care. The percentage of complications as a result of deficiencies in the provision of dental care, leading to the development of serious pathologies and deteriorating the quality of life of patients is growing every year. High rates of emergence of new technologies in dentistry, new dental materials and equipment do not always allow each practicing dentist to achieve a high professional level of assistance when working with new methods and means of treatment of caries and its complications. In this regard, endodontic care is not provided at the proper level. Goal. A retrospective analysis of medical documentation (comprehensive examinations) was conducted to identify the incidence of medical care deficiencies and adverse outcomes in endodontic dentistry. Methodology. A retrospective analysis of 19 complex forensic examinations was carried out to identify the frequency of deficiencies in medical care and adverse outcomes in endodontic treatment of teeth. Results. It was found that the most common shortcomings in the endodontic treatment of teeth are the lack of x-rays before and after endodontic treatment, removal of filling material for the apex of the tooth, non-compliance with the rules of asepsis and antiseptics in the treatment of patients, unjustified removal of dental pulp. Findings. A retrospective analysis of adverse outcomes in endodontic dentistry according to comprehensive examinations revealed significant deficiencies at the stages of diagnosis and treatment, which led to medical errors and further legal proceedings.

City Clinical Hospital №21, Ufa The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of proximal hip fracture in minimal trauma during the period from 2000 to 2005 in persons aged 50 years or more living in Ufa. The information was obtained from the medical documentation of City Clinical Hospital № 13 of Ufa and Republican administration of statistics of Rosstat. There're 7 districts in Ufa the population of Kalinin district is 195 722, the population of the city is 1036026. People living in one of the Ufa's biggest districts - Kalinin district who had proximal hip fracture (medial and lateral fractures of neck of femur, ICD-820) from 2000 to 2005 were chosen as the objects of the study. The results were expressed as incidence per 100 000 persons. The overall incidence of the fractures was 129,8, 123,1 in men and 133,9 in women, the overall incidence of the fractures in minimal trauma - 124,4, 110,5 in men and 133,6 in women (in regards to the general number of fractures it was 89% and 99% correspondingly). The F:M ratio was 1,2. The study showed that the incidence of all types of hip fracture in men was significantly increasing, including in minimal trauma. We also found the increase of hip fracture incidence with age. The results of the retrospective analysis of the hip fracture incidence during the period from 2000 to 2005 showed that Ufa was the city with moderate incidence of the fractures.

The Impact

Purpose This study was designed to examine the association of dosage and effects of Sound Production Treatment (SPT) for acquired apraxia of speech. Method Treatment logs and probe data from 20 speakers with apraxia of speech and aphasia were submitted to a retrospective analysis. The number of treatment sessions and teaching episodes was examined relative to (a) change in articulation accuracy above baseline performance, (b) mastery of production, and (c) maintenance. The impact of practice schedule (SPT-Blocked vs. SPT-Random) was also examined. Results The average number of treatment sessions conducted prior to change was 5.4 for SPT-Blocked and 3.9 for SPT-Random. The mean number of teaching episodes preceding change was 334 for SPT-Blocked and 179 for SPT-Random. Mastery occurred within an average of 13.7 sessions (1,252 teaching episodes) and 12.4 sessions (1,082 teaching episodes) for SPT-Blocked and SPT-Random, respectively. Comparisons of dosage metric values across practice schedules did not reveal substantial differences. Significant negative correlations were found between follow-up probe performance and the dosage metrics. Conclusions Only a few treatment sessions were needed to achieve initial positive changes in articulation, with mastery occurring within 12–14 sessions for the majority of participants. Earlier occurrence of change or mastery was associated with better follow-up performance. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12592190
