Article Synopsis
- - Fluorescence spectroscopy is effectively used to assess microbial load in water, showing a strong correlation with traditional methods like colony forming unit (CFU) and optical density (OD) techniques.
- - The study demonstrates that a UV dose of 58.9 mJ/cm is needed for 99.99% disinfection at a flow rate of 0.8 l/min, with fluorescence at 360 nm indicating bacterial degradation as UVC exposure increases.
- - This method is faster and more sensitive than CFU and OD methods, providing real-time monitoring of pathogen levels in drinking water without the need for a 24-hour incubation period.
Objective: To evaluate Mannheim Peritonitis Index (MPI) in predicting outcome in patients with secondary peritonitis and to assess each risk factor independently regarding its contribution towards final outcome.
Design: Prospective analytical study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Surgical Unit-II of Rawalpindi General Hospital, from December 1999 to January 2001.
