Background:Acne vulgaris is one of the commonest adolescent dermatoses with almost every patient having the risk of developing acne scars as a sequelae. Atrophic scar is the most common type and management of which causes a therapeutic challenge. Presently fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is regarded as one of the most effective available treatment. In a hospital based pros Methodology: pective observational study, 42 patients presenting with atrophic facial acne scarring were included in this study. Patients were most commonly in the age group 21-25 Results: years with Male: Female ratio of 1:1.63. The most common subtype (48%) was combination scars (Box scar+ rolling+ ice pick) followed by isolated rolling scar and box scar (19%) each. Majority presented with moderate severity (81%) with cheeks being the most common site of involvement (100%) followed by temples (57%). A positive response with either good or excellent results was reported in 36 patients corresponding to 85.7% of the study group. The study emphasizes on the role of fractional CO2 las Conclusion: er resurfacing in the treatment of atrophic acne scars
is a major cause of health care associated infections. It has natural resistance as well as acquired multidrug resistance to various antibiotics leading to increased morbidity and mortality, which lead to problematic condition and increased medical expenses. The main aim of this study was to study the resistance pattern of isolated from samples received from surgical site infections and wound infections.This study was conducted at Microbiology laboratory of Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre. Pus and wound swab samples were collected from surgical site infections (SSIs) and wound infections. Samples were cultured on MacConkey and Nutrient agar and incubated at 37°C aerobically. Identification of was done by using conventional method and antibiotic sensitivity was determined with automated Vitek2 compact system.From January 2021 to November 2021 during this study period, out of 117 positive samples 32 (27.35%) were isolated. The susceptibility pattern showed the organism to be most commonly susceptible to Colistin, Doripenem, followed by Piperacillin/Tazobactam, Imipenem, Amikacin, and was less susceptible to Ciprofloxacin, Ceftazidime.Presences of multidrug resistance strains have raised significant concern and judicious use of antibiotics is the only option to reduce drug resistance and preventing resistance against reserve antibiotics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
