N.I. Bakr, E. El‐Sawy, A.F. Hamdy, M.A. Bakr. Skin infections in Egyptian renal transplant recipients. Transpl Infect Dis 2011: 13: 131–135. All rights reservedBackground. The risk of skin infections in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) has been described previously; however, it differs markedly by ethnic groups, skin type, and geographical location. We investigated the prevalence and nature of skin infections in a large series of RTRs in our locality in Egypt.Patients and methods. A total 302 RTRs (216 males and 86 females) were included in this study. They were screened for the presence of bacterial, fungal, and viral skin infections depending on clinical signs, Woods lamp examinations, culture, and biopsy if indicated. The patients were compared with 300 healthy controls matched for age and sex (200 males and 100 females)Results. We found 191 (63.25%) RTRs had some kind of skin infection. Folliculitis (10.3%), tinea versicolor (30.1%), dermatophytosis (19.5%), and onychomycosis (7.6%) were statistically significantly more common in RTRs compared with control subjects.Conclusion. Our RTRs have higher prevalence rates of folliculitis and superficial fungal infections than the healthy population and they should be searched for in every patient with renal transplantation to ensure early treatment and avoid complications. Low‐dose ketoconazole should be considered in renal transplant populations with high rates of superficial fungal infections, as it may reduce risk of such infections.

Objective  To evaluate neonatal outcome in Kell haemolytic disease compared to Rh D haemolytic disease.Study design  Retrospective study of all (near)‐term neonates with Kell (n = 34) and Rh D haemolytic disease (n = 157) admitted to our centre between January 2000 and December 2008. We recorded the need for exchange transfusion and top‐up transfusions up to 3 months of age.Results  Neonates in the Kell group required less days of phototherapy than neonates in the Rh D group [2·4 vs. 4·1 days, respectively (P < 0·01)]. The percentage of neonates requiring an exchange transfusion was lower in the Kell group than in the Rh D group [6% (2/34) and 62% (98/157), respectively (P < 0·01)]. The percentage of neonates in the Kell group and Rh D group requiring a top‐up transfusion was 62% (21/34) and 72% (113/157), respectively (P = 0·20). The median number of top‐up transfusions per neonate in the Kell group and Rh D group was 1 [interquartile range (IQR) 0–2] and 2(IQR 0–2), respectively (P = 0·07).Conclusion  Neonates with Kell haemolytic disease require less phototherapy and less exchange transfusions compared to neonates with Rh D haemolytic disease, but an equal number of top‐up transfusions.

Published: September 2010

AbstractBackground:  Microvascular free flap transplantation is the current most common choice for reconstruction of difficult through‐and‐through buccal defect after cancer extirpation. The chimeric anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is an ideal flap to cover this full thickness defect, but variation in the location of perforators is a major concern. Herein, we introduce computed tomographic angiography (CTA)‐guided mathematical perforators mapping for chimeric ALT flap design and harvest.Methods:  Between September 2008 and March 2009, nine patients with head and neck tumour underwent preoperative CTA perforator mapping before free ALT flap reconstruction of full thickness buccal defects. The perforators were marked on a 64‐section multi‐detector CT image for each patient, and the actual perforator locations were correlated with the intra‐operative dissection. The donor limb of choice, either right or left, was also selected based on the dominant vascularity. Flap success rates, any associated morbidity and complications were recorded.Results:  A total of 23 perforators were identified on CTA image preoperatively. Twenty‐two of these perforators were chosen for chimeric flap design, and all were located as the CTA predicted, with the rate of utilization being 95.7% (22/23). There were two post‐operative complications, including one partial flap necrosis and one microstomia. All of the ALT flaps survived, and there was no donor site morbidity.Conclusions:  Preoperative CTA allows accurate perforator mapping and evaluation of the dominant vascularity. It helps the surgeon to get an ideal designing of the chimeric ALT flap with two skin paddles based on individual perforators, but only one vascular anastomosis in reconstruction of full thickness buccal defects.
The attitudes of mental health professionals towards patients with mental illness in an inpatient setting in Palestine
Authors: Ahmead Muna K. , Rahhal Ahmad A. , Baker John A. 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTCulture plays a vital role in shaping public and professional attitudes towards mental illness. In Arab cultures negative attitudes toward patients experiencing mental illnesses are common. There is a lack of studies that investigate the attitudes of professionals towards patients in inpatient mental health settings. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of professionals towards patients with mental illnesses in the only psychiatric hospital in Palestine. A survey was undertaken using the Attitudes Toward Acute Mental Health Scale (ATAMHS 33). The scale was distributed to a variety of professionals at the only psychiatric hospital in Bethlehem. Data was managed and analysed by using SPSS 15 (a statistical package for social sciences). The participants (mostly nurses) expressed both negative and positive attitudes toward patients, however, results revealed more negative than positive attitudes, particularly in relation to alcohol misuse, medication, patients' ability to control their emotions, and genetic predisposition to mental illness. This paper provides baseline data about the attitude of mental health professionals towards patients experiencing mental illnesses. Education and direct contact with patients with mental illness may not be enough to foster positive attitudes towards them. This may indicate the need to revise educational curriculum at the Palestinian universities and offer more training for mental health professionals in order to change their attitudes.
Improving addictions treatment outcomes by empowering self and others

Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTThe present research tested the effectiveness of adding an interpersonal, interactive, experiential training programme to addictions treatment that enhances motivation, cognitive‐behavioural coping skills, social support, and group cohesiveness. The research was conducted in a co‐educational, long‐term residential treatment facility for addictive disorders (alcohol and other substances, sexual addiction, eating disorders, compulsive shopping, and gambling) and concomitant psychiatric diagnoses. The added training is co‐created by participants. They choose challenging situations important in their lives that are played out as ‘movies’ in which they play and experience all the parts. Motivation for change, skills to implement positive changes, self‐efficacy, empathy, positive support, and group cohesiveness are rooted in their own experiences and the feedback they receive from others, as they behave in empowering and disempowering ways. The training resulted in significant increases in empowering communication, self‐esteem and quality of group life in the treatment group and in the family. Many of these results have large effect sizes and are consistent with the findings from prior studies. The results obtained in this study suggest that Say It Straight training can be an effective addition to the treatment of addictions in residential treatment. Future research is needed to determine the long‐term effects of this training on relapse.
Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program: Contributing to positive client outcomes
Authors: Happell Brenda , Palmer Christine , Tennent Rebeka 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTMental health conditions are likely to affect almost half of the population at some stage in their lives. Despite the magnitude and potentially serious consequences of mental illness and disorders, access to services is a significant problem. In 2007, the Mental Health Nurse Incentive Program (MHNIP) was implemented to improve access to mental health care in Australia. Mental health nurses are engaged under the MHNIP to work with general practitioners, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals to treat clients experiencing a mental health condition. This paper presents findings from a qualitative exploration of nurses working under the MHNIP in Australia. In‐depth interviews were conducted with 10 nurses currently working under the MHNIP to gain an understanding of their roles and their perceptions of the effectiveness of this new programme. Data were analysed using NVivo. Four major themes emerged: developing the role, a holistic approach, working collaboratively, and benefits to clients. The findings suggest that mental health nurses have the potential to make a significant contribution to enhancing access to, and the quality of, mental health care through flexible and innovative approaches.
Ordinary people, extraordinary voices: The emotional labour of lay people caring for and about people with a mental health problem
Authors: Hogg Christine , Warne Tony 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTMany attempts to reduce the stigmatization of people with mental illness have often been predicated, based on the desire to persuade the public that people with mental illness are ‘ill’ in the same way as people with medical conditions. This paper presents one aspect from the findings of a study that examined the ways in which lay people perceived mental health and illness. Data are drawn from the discussion of the roles and experiences of different non‐mental health professionals who cared for and about people they met in their everyday employment. In this paper, we argue that central to these roles is the importance of listening to people in an arena which is non‐statutory and without judgment. We demonstrate that people use popular sectors when they are unsure of the problem they have, or they are reluctant to refer themselves to the professional sector. The paper presents narrative extracts illustrating the emotional labour operating in each participant's role and the extent to which they provide support for their client's emotional and psychological well‐being. The implications for mental health nursing are discussed in relation to working with and alongside people experiencing mental distress, in relation to ‘ordinary human qualities’.
Adapting the severe mental illness physical Health Improvement Profile for use in primary care
Authors: Hardy Sheila , Gray Richard 
Published: September 2010

ABSTRACTPeople with severe mental illness (SMI) have a higher incidence of long‐term physical conditions, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This can dramatically reduce their life expectancy. In the UK, it is the duty of health‐care professionals in primary care to monitor the physical health of this group of people. However, these professionals have been given no specific training in order to do this effectively. The Northampton Physical Health and Well‐Being Project has been developed in order to reduce the mortality of people with SMI, improve their physical and emotional health, and increase their support network. We have adapted the Health Improvement Profile (a tool to help mental health nurses profile the physical health of people with SMI) for use in primary care by creating a manual and website and will provide bespoke training in its use to the health‐care professionals.
