Contact precautions, including gloves, gowns, and isolated rooms, have helped stem the transmission of hospital pathogens but have also had some negative consequences, according to findings from a new study. Healthcare worker (HCWs) visited patients on contact precautions less frequently than other patients and spent less time with those patients when they did visit, report Daniel J. Morgan, MD, from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs (VA) Maryland Health Care System, Baltimore, and colleagues. Moreover, patients on contact precautions also received fewer outside visitors. "Less contact with HCWs suggests that other unintended consequences of contact precautions still exist," Dr. Morgan and coauthors write. "The resulting decrease in HCW contact may lead to increased adverse events and a lower quality of patient care due to less consistent patient monitoring and poorer adherence to standard adverse event prevention methods (such...

ReplyDeleteInlyta is used to treat kidney cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, called metastatic renal cell carcinoma, after other treatments have been tried. Inlyta's common name is Axitinib. Axitinib belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics and more specifically to a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These medications disrupt cell communication to slow the growth of blood vessels that feed nutrients to cancer cells. By slowing the growth of these blood vessels, axitinib can help reduce the size of tumours, which are collections of cancer cells. Now these medications are available online.
