Introduction: To evaluate tuberculosis screening and efficacy of prophylaxis in contacts of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
Patients And Methods: A total of 7453 contacts of 1909 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis treated at four tuberculosis dispensaries located in Istanbul, between 2005 and 2009 were included in this retrospective screening-based study. Data on demographics, smear positivity, PPD positivity, rate and onset of secondary tuberculosis and prophylaxis were recorded in contacts.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how well two different ways of stitching up intestines worked in rats, to see which was stronger and healed better.
- They used two types of materials: one was a special kind of thread (Vicryl) and the other was a super glue (Pattex).
- The results showed that the super glue helped the intestines heal faster and required less time to apply, while both methods were equally strong.
