Authors: Zhang Deng-Xiang , Luo Chao-Bao , Lee Chien-Hui 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective:
Endovascular coiling is a minimally invasive method to manage intracranial aneurysms. However, patients who undergo stent-assisted coiling (SAC) for acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms need dual antiplatelet treatment. We reported our experience and outcomes of SAC for ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Materials and Methods:
We retrospectively collected data on procedure-related complications, rates of aneurysm rebleeding and recurrence, and clinical outcomes of patients with ruptured aneurysms managed by SAC over 2 years.

Results:
Among the 17 patients included in this study, there were 14 (82.4%) women and 3 (17.6%) men, with a mean age of 58.59 years (standard deviation = 13.57; range: 40–82 years). There were no periprocedural hemorrhagic complications and no aneurysm rebleeding before discharge. However, two patients developed acute brain infarction because of symptomatic vasospasm. Linear regression revealed significant associations of posterior circulation involvement with the Glasgow Outcome Score and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge and 6 months after. Besides, Hunt and Hess grade ≥3 has a significant association with mRS at discharge, 6 months, and 1 year after.

Conclusion:
SAC for ruptured aneurysm was technically feasible and did not carry an additional risk of postoperative aneurysm rebleeding secondary to antiplatelet treatment. Moreover, it had relatively low rates of aneurysm regrowth and coil compaction. Therefore, it can be a safe and effective endovascular treatment for acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysm.

Study’s Novelty/Excerpt

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MRS) from wounds and nasal swabs in Northwestern Nigeria, focusing on the phenotypic characteristics, antibiotic susceptibility, and socio-demographic profiles of the isolates.
The novelty lies in its extensive sampling across nine facilities in four states and its detailed examination of the correlation between educational and economic status and MRS occurrence, which has not been previously reported.
These findings offer critical insights for healthcare policy-making in antibiotic usage and infection control in a region-specific context, highlighting socio-demographic factors influencing MRS prevalence.

Full Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MRS) remain important opportunistic pathogens most frequently identified worldwide. The study aimed to determine the phenotypic characteristics of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, their antibiotic susceptibility patterns, and the socio-demographic characteristics of the isolates from wounds and nasal swabs in selected hospitals across some states in Northwestern Nigeria. A total of 806 wounds and nasal swabs were collected from patients admitted at nine facilities in 4 states of Northwestern Nigeria. All samples underwent analysis using standard bacteriological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) was conducted using the Kirby-Bauer technique. Out of 806 samples, 652 (80.3%) were culture positive, while 154 (19.1%) were culture negative. A total of 704 (87.3%) isolates were obtained, out of which 418 (59.4%) were identified as Staphylococci isolates, comprising 144 (17.7%) Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), 124 (15.4%) Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), 89 (11%) Methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCoNS), and 61 (7.6%) Methicillin susceptible coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MSCoNS). The Staphylococci isolates showed the highest susceptibility to Vancomycin 408 (97.6%), while the lowest was penicillin 24 (5.7%). The isolation rate of MRS was highest among patients aged 11-30, while the 71-90 age group had the lowest rate. The occurrence was higher (37%) in male patients than in female patients (18.6%). Moreover, there was no statistically significant association found between the distribution of MRS among different age groups, gender, and occupational affiliations, but it exists in the educational levels, and economic statuses of the research participants. The occurrence of MRS was lower among patients with a high level of formal education but higher among those without or with a low level of education. These findings will aid healthcare workers in establishing policies for antibiotic usage, surveillance, and infection prevention and control measures.

The research identifies the presence of various bacteria, including Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., and Klebsiella sp., with notable resistance to commonly used antibiotics, underscoring the potential public health risks associated with hospital water sources.
This study's findings emphasize the need for rigorous water treatment protocols to ensure safe consumption and reduce the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections in hospital settings.

Full Abstract
Water is vital for life, and water void of bacterial contamination is vital for hospital consumption and use. This study aimed to determine the bacteriological quality and antibiogram of different water samples in some hospitals within Port Harcourt Metropolis. Water samples were collected in different hospitals in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. Based on water dispensers, outdoor taps, washing hand faucets, and faucets in the toilet and theatre. The bacteriological quality of the water samples, coagulase, haemolysis, biofilm, starch, and antibiogram were determined using standard microbiological procedures. The mean range of the total heterotrophic bacterial, staphylococcal, faecal coliform, and total coliform counts of the water samples were 8.5±0.7×105 to 3.8±2.1×107, 1.2±0.2 to 2.8±0.3×105, 0.0±0.0 to 8.0±4.2×103 and 0.0±0.0 to 1.1±0.1×105 CFU/mL, respectively. The prevalence of the isolated bacteria is Staphylococcus sp (17.5%), Bacillus sp (12.5%), Enterobacter sp. (12.5%), Klebsiella sp. (10%), Citrobacter sp. (5%), Escherichia coli (2.5%) and Siccibacter sp. (2.5%). Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Escherichia coli, and Siccibacter sp. were positive for haemolysis and α-amylase production, 80% of Staphylococcus sp were coagulase positive while 46, 40, 57 and 25% of Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella sp produced biofilm. The antibiogram showed multi-drug resistance (0.2-1.0). Levofloxacin was 60% effective against Staphylococcus sp, while susceptibility of Klebsiella and Citrobacter sp to ofloxacin, gentamycin, nalidixic acid, and levofloxacin 66.7%. The water samples from these hospitals might not be good for drinking. Thus, treatment of water before use is recommended. The high antibiotic resistance could imply the emergence of resistant isolates in hospital water.

Theory Is Essential in Promoting the Distinct Value of Occupational Therapy in Rehabilitation of Adults With Low Vision: A Systematic Review
Authors: Weisser-Pike Orli , Woods Lauren , Lewis-Kipkulei Pamela , Avrit Raegan 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Importance: Evidence for occupational therapy interventions should be grounded in theory to support practitioners’ role in the rehabilitation of adults with low vision.
Objective: To analyze the content of publications on interventions for adults with low vision to determine theories proposed or used to guide interventions and to categorize their level of evidence.
Data Sources: CINAHL, Scopus, PubMed, and Embase.
Method: A quantitative summative content analysis of articles published from 1984 through 2021.
Results: Fourteen articles provided a theoretical rationale for occupational therapy interventions for adults with low vision. Nine provided evidence for interventions supported by theory, and 3 suggested theories to support interventions. Eleven were found in peer-reviewed publications; 10 were in occupational therapy publications. Of the 14, 50% were categorized at the lowest level of evidence.
Conclusions and Relevance: Few high-level studies on occupational therapy interventions for adults with low vision exist that provide a rationale for treatment based on theory. Application of theories provides clinical reasoning that distinguishes occupational therapy interventions from those of other professions serving adults with low vision. If interventions are not grounded in theory, the occupational therapy profession risks losing its distinction from other similar professions in low vision rehabilitation.
Plain-Language Summary: This is the first content analysis of theories recommended and used to guide occupational therapy interventions for adults with low vision. This systematic review highlights occupational therapy’s distinct value over other professions but also points to a dangerous gap in the literature that threatens practitioners’ role in the rehabilitation of adults with low vision.
