TL;DR: Results of this study showed the dangerously high nosocomial infection rates, which necessitates considering surveillance of antibiotic usage and restriction of using broad spectrum antibiotics in infections.
Abstract: Background: Rapid increase in nosocomial infections (NIs) due to antibiotic resistant organisms is a global issue, which causes significant morbidity in both patients and healthcare professionals ultimately leading to an extra cost on health care systems. Thus, studying NIs is a public health priority. Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional investigation between 2015 - 2017. Inpatient cases of selected hospitals with nosocomial infections were included. Demographics, source of infections, causative agents, and their antibiotic susceptibility through E-test method were collected. All data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software (version 19). Results: A total of 168 patients with NIs were identified. Of the patients, 100 (59.5%) cases were male. The intensive care unit had the highest infection rate (N = 100 (59.5%)) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (N = 58 (34.5%)) and Acinetobacter (N = 76 (47.5%)) were the most common source and organism of NI. Conclusions: Results of this study showed the dangerously high nosocomial infection rates, which necessitates considering surveillance of antibiotic usage and restriction of using broad spectrum antibiotics in infections.

TL;DR: Dental caries experience among participating children was rather high, despite most parents were educated, and children of parents with higher level of education, experienced less dental caries although this difference was not significant.
Abstract: Objectives Oral health is a major component of overall health improvement and well-being. A large number of children are suffering from Early Childhood Caries (ECC). Parental knowledge and level of education can improve their child’s oral health care leading to reduction of ECC incidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of education and knowledge in a group of parents, having three year old children, on ECC occurrence.
Methods A total of eight hundred and fifteen, three-year-old children were recalled using pregnancy records available in healthcare centers of Varamin city, Iran. Dental examinations were performed by two calibrated senior dental students using decayed missed filled teeth (dmft) index using WHO standard method available. Parents’ knowledge, level of education and their opinion on their child/children‘s oral health care were recorded using WHO questionnaire. An independent T-test, Chi-square test and zero inflated Poisson regression was applied for statistical analysis.
Results The mean dmft was 2.69 (±3.492, range 0-19) while 43.4% were caries free. In total, 85% of parents had high levels of education (above high school diploma) and 15% had low levels of education (bellow high school diploma) including illiterates. Children of parents with higher level of education, experienced less dental caries although this difference was not significant (p>0.05).
Conclusion More than half of the three-year-old children living in Varamin city had some degrees of dental caries. Dental caries experience among participating children was rather high, despite most parents were educated.
