Disease relevance of Medical Staff

• Antibody to hepatitis B virus surface antigen was measured in 48 paired sera from healthy medical staff who had been vaccinated against hepatitis B [1].
• The consultation-liaison psychiatrist can play an important role in the education of the medical staff regarding metoclopramide-induced tardive dyskinesia [2].
• We report the case of a 32-year-old female patient with primary pulmonary hypertension who received a lung transplant from a donor who, unbeknownst to the medical staff, had pulmonary sarcoidosis diagnosed by lung biopsy 16 months earlier [3].
• The extensive use of CS gas merits recognition of the signs and symptoms of its exposure in order to reduce anxiety in both patients and medical staff and to facilitate fast and efficient management [4].
• A clinical model of glucose-insulin interaction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus has been developed for patient and medical staff education [5].

High impact information on Medical Staff

• Epinephrine as rescue medication was never necessary, and the regimen proved to be safe and convenient for both the patients and the medical staff [6].
• (VRSA Hershey), and its vancomycin-susceptible and high-level-resistant derivatives were studied and compared to 32 methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains (MRSA) isolated from patients and medical staff in contact with the VRSA patient [7].
• In the sterile urine of control volunteers (medical staff attending the paraplegic patients and in-patients from other wards of the hospital), no urinary excretion of volatile N-nitrosamines and nitrite was found [8].
• CONCLUSION: ABO discrepancies can result from errors made not only by the medical staff during phlebotomy but also to by the clerical staff during registration and identification [9].
• Furthermore, BreathID has the potential advantages of ease of use with minimal medical staff requirement, and real time rapid results (20 min maximum) which may make the BreathID preferable to other urea breath test assays [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Medical Staff

• Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus which can colonize in the newborn baby just after birth, is passed on to the newborn by carrier medical staff [11].

Biological context of Medical Staff

• These predictors may be useful in alerting medical staff to the possibility of gastro-intestinal ischaemic complications after cardiac surgery particularly that early surgical intervention reduces mortality [12].
• Seralyzer determination of plasma creatinine can be rapidly, simply and reliably performed by medical staff on a urology ward, thereby facilitating assessment of renal function governed by clinical requirement rather than by laboratory convenience [13].
• Occupational exposure to cisplatin derivatives was also investigated among medical staff [14].
• The efficacy and safety of a quick drying rubbing type disinfectant (HAD Hand Wash) composed of a povidone-iodine (PVP-I) and ethanol were evaluated in the disinfection of transient skin flora on fingers of 30 medical staff of our department [15].

Anatomical context of Medical Staff

• Sera from normal individuals, patients with viral hepatitis and medical staffs were depleted of antiliver-specific membrane lipoprotein antibody by absorbing with liver-specific membrane lipoprotein-bearing cell line SK-Hep-1 [16].

Associations of Medical Staff with chemical compounds

• Mean fasting blood glucose was considered by the medical staff to be too low in 42% of cases [17].
• An educational effort directed to the medical staff was implemented via the pharmacy and therapeutics committee on the proper prescribing of ceftriaxone [18].
• The children were placed in isolation, and the nursing and medical staff were given topical nasal mupirocin [19].
• However, the medical staff failed to change their patterns of prescribing hypnotics: oxazepam remained the preferred hypnotic [20].
• These data demonstrate that BAC-free Vigamox can be treated no differently than BAC-preserved solutions by patients and medical staff, without concern for solution contamination [21].

Gene context of Medical Staff

• Clearance of aggregated human secretory immunoglobulin A (AHS-IgA) was studied in nine patients affected by primary IgA nephropathy (IgAGN) and six normal volunteers from the medical staff [22].
• The ICU medical staff were unaware of the TOF ratios until sedation was stopped [23].
• METHODS: TJA was performed in 40 nonambulatory patients with RA who satisfied the following criteria: (1) strong motivation; (2) good relationship with our medical staff; (3) no marked cervical cord lesion: (4) absence of severe systemic complications [24].
• The prediction of the outcome from coma is of considerable importance to the patients, their relatives and attendant medical staff, and yet current clinical methods lack sensitivity and specificity [25].
• INTRODUCTION: The effects of an intensive training programme involving screening of children for disorders of growth and puberty for community based nursing and medical staff employed by Cardiff Community Healthcare NHS Trust were audited to assess the impact of this training on referrals to the local hospital based growth clinic [26].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Medical Staff

• A total of 18 fecal specimens collected from 17 residents and one member of the medical staff during this outbreak were tested for the presence of viral enteropathogens by RT-PCR and latex agglutination [27].
• However, with regard to relative cost, ease of preparation and storage, as well as patient and medical staff convenience, Prostaglandin E2 in pessary form is a superior form of administration [28].
• BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: A prototype magnetic imaging system (Scope Guide, Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.) provides a new facility for continuous viewing on a monitor of the position of the colonoscope during examination, without exposing patients or medical staff to radiation [29].
• These results demonstrate that ICT lowered blood glucose levels permanently, that patients were highly compliant, and that ICT was practicable and safe for long-term treatment under routine conditions without initial hospitalization and with an acceptable expenditure of time for patients and medical staff [30].
• The aim of the study was to estimate the type, incidence and causes of donor adverse reactions during and after blood donation in a Greek Blood Bank, where medical staff is responsible for donor selection [31].
