Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude, Practice and Associated Factors Towards Post-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV/AIDS among Health Professionals in Health Centers Found in Harari Region, Eastern Ethiopia.

Background: Healthcare workers are at risk of acquiring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, because of occupational exposure to blood and other body fluids. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a short-term antiretroviral treatment used to reduce the likelihood of viral infection after exposure to the blood or body fluids of an infected person. Timely PEP after exposure to high-risk body fluids in the working area can reduce the rate of transmission of HIV significantly.

Polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity and its predictors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies conducted using RIFLE criteria of acute kidney injury.

Polymyxins are last-resort antibiotics re-emerged to treat infections caused by multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, polymyxin-associated nephrotoxicity has become the main safety concern. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis on polymyxin-induced nephrotoxicity and its predictors using studies conducted based on the validated RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of Function and End-stage renal disease) criteria of acute kidney damage.
