Clin Infect Dis
April 2020
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas.
Background: We provide evidence to revise the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) diabetic foot infection classification by adding a separate tier for osteomyelitis and evaluating if moderate and severe infection criteria improve the classification's ability to direct therapy and determine outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 294 patients with moderate and severe infections. Osteomyelitis was confirmed by bone culture or histopathology.
Sex Health
July 2018
The Department of Clinical Microbiology, Sheba Medical Center, Emek Haela 1, Ramat-Gan 5265601, Israel.
Unlabelled: Background Data regarding sexually transmissible infections (STI) often originate from STI clinics, screening programs or laboratory-based studies, thus are biased for specific risk groups or lack clinical details. This real-life observational study presents sample data of most young adult Israeli population by exploiting the centralised diagnostic and documentation platforms resulting from a mandatory military service at the age of 18 years for both genders.
Methods: All STI diagnoses of Israeli Defence Forces soldiers during a 6-month period were reviewed.
Public Health Nurs
March 2006
School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, 451 Smyth Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1H 8M5.
Objective: Due to a recent increase in the rates of reportable sexually transmitted infections (STI) across Canada, and the movement of public health nursing initiatives to a health promotion/illness prevention model, this paper proposes alternative strategies to current public health initiatives to encourage individuals who are labelled as at-risk by public health discourses, such as teens and males who have sex with males (MSM), to undertake preventative screening.
Theoretical Design: To undertake this task, we approached Health Canada's (2002) determinants of health utilizing Lupton's (1995) post-structuralist work on public health to suggest that for some members of these groups, health is not an imperative.
Conclusions: As such, we propose that increasing anonymous testing and its advertisement would provide one means of providing population-sensitive care and could thus increase the screening rates of individuals within groups who reject the public health "healthy" disquisition.
