    Notes: Abstract As part of an epidemiologic teaching exercise, we studied coronary risk factors in two consecutive classes of Jerusalem medical students (n=124) and calculated a summary coronary risk score for each student. Men were at higher risk than women because of greater body mass, higher blood pressure and more cigarette smoking. Married males were at lower risk than single males because they had lower cholesterol levels and smoked less. Married and single females were at equal risk. Jerusalem students smoked more than most groups of American medical students and less than their European counterparts. There is reason to believe that an exercise of this kind may result in risk-reducing behavior on the part of high-risk students.

    Prospective Surveillance of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (2000)

    Notes: Abstract  A point-prevalence study of vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonization of the gastrointestinal tract in an Israeli hospital revealed that 14.7% of the 320 inpatients were colonized. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonization was detected in most departments except the neonatal intensive care unit. Hence, a prospective longitudinal study of the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci colonization in the neonatal intensive care unit was conducted. A rectal swab was obtained from every newborn on admission to the neonatal intensive care unit and once weekly thereafter until the patient was discharged. Enterococci were isolated and tested for susceptibility to vancomycin. A total of 84 neonates were enrolled and monitored on average for 3 weeks (SD±3.9, range 1–20 weeks). Mean gestational age was 35.7 weeks (SD±3.9, range 25–42 weeks), and mean birth weight was 2.4 kg (SD±0.9, range 0.45–4.1 kg). Most patients had one or more of the known risk factors associated with colonization with vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Eighty percent of the patients received antibiotics during the study, and 14.3% received vancomycin. The median duration of vancomycin treatment was 12.5 days (SD±16.8, range 5–55 days). Fifty-one of 84 (61%) patients acquired enterococci sensitive to vancomycin during the study period, but no newborn had vancomycin-resistant enterococci. Possible explanations for this finding may be physical isolation of the neonatal intensive care unit from the rest of the hospital, intrinsic differences in the bowel milieu of this age group and the lack of exposure to food and other environmental sources of vancomycin-resistant enterococci from the community.

    Comparison of four laboratory tests for diagnosis ofClostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (1996)

    Notes: Abstract Four different laboratory tests for diagnosis ofClostridium difficile-associated diarrhea were compared to determine the optimal one for management of patients with hospital-acquired diarrhea. Stool samples from 231 patients with diarrhea were tested by the following methods: culture forClostridium difficile with subsequent determination of exotoxin production, with a toxigenicClostridium difficile positive (TCP) result considered truly positive; enzyme immunoassay (EIA); latex agglutination test; and an immunobinding blot assay. The rates of positive results were as follows: EIA 5.5%, TCP 7.3%, latex agglutination 16.7%, and immunobinding blot assay 26.1%. Compared to the TCP results, the sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 61 and 98% for EIA, 47 and 85% for latex agglutination, and 60 and 76% for the immunobinding blot assay. Samples from patients with ≥ 6 stools/day were TCP and EIA positive in 27 and 17% of cases, respectively, whereas in patients with 〈 6 stools/day, these percentages decreased to 2 and 3%, respectively (p 〈 0.001). In hospitalized patients with ≥ 6 stools/day, EIA appears to be the optimal test for diagnosis ofClostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, with a 73% positive predictive value and a 97% negative predictive value. However, in patients with 〈 6 stools/day, the prevalence ofClostridium difficile is low, and laboratory detection of this organism remains problematic.

    Omiderm, a new synthetic wound covering: Physical properties and drug permeability studies (1986)

    Notes: Omiderm (Omikron Scientific Ltd., Rehovot, Israel), a new synthetic wound covering based on hydrophilized polyurethane, was found to be highly permeable to water. Values in the region of 5000 g/m2 24 h were found for the water permeability of Omiderm in comparison to 1400 and 500 g/m2 24 h for Biobrane (Hall, Woodroof Inc., Santa Ana, CA) and Op site (Smith and Nephew Ltd.), respectively. Permeabilities of antibacterial agents through Omiderm were found to be two to three orders of magnitude greater than those through Biobrane. The in vitro effectiveness of various antibacterial agents in lowering bacterial growth of different bacterial strains when applied to seeded agar plates through Omiderm membrane was investigated. NBH ointment (1% Neomycin, 1% Bacitracin, and 0.5% Hydrocortisone) was found to be the most effective material in inhibiting bacterial growth, except for Pseudomonas aeruginosa where silver sulfadiazine was superior. In in vivo experiments bacterial counts of infected wounds covered with Omiderm and topically treated with NBH were lowered to less than 103 organism/g tissue after one day of treatment.
