Article Synopsis
- Hand hygiene is crucial in preventing the spread of harmful germs in healthcare settings, and a study was conducted to assess nurses' knowledge and practices at the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH).
- The study involved 395 nurses, finding that 58.2% had moderately good knowledge of hand hygiene, but only 29.2% practiced effective hand washing.
- Key mistakes in the hand washing technique included not using a towel to turn off the faucet and inadequate cleaning of areas like fingernails and palms, with no significant differences in hand hygiene knowledge based on age.

MD, PhD, Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, National Institute for Infectious Diseases "Prof. Dr. Matei Balş", No. 1 Dr. Calistrat Grozovici street, Bucharest, 021105, Romania.
Introduction: To better understand the factors which influence the spread of monkeypox (mpox) infection, the patients that tested positive for mpox virus by real-time PCR in one of the main infectious diseases centers in Bucharest were analyzed in this study, amounting to one third of the confirmed cases in Romania.
Methods: Clinical data and laboratory tests were used to build the patient profiles. In the case of positive mpox results, next-generation sequencing of the viral genome was also performed to better comprehend the epidemiology of the infections and the evolutionary path of this virus.

Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) as well as with pancreatic head carcinoma (CA) undergo the surgical intervention named "pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy according to Traverso-Longmire (PPPD)", which allowed a comparative analysis of the postoperative courses. The hypothesis was that patients with CA would have worse general as well as immune status than patients with CP due to the severity of the tumor disease and that this would be reflected in the more disadvantageous early postoperative outcome after PPPD. : With the aim of eliciting the influence of the different diagnoses, the surgical outcome of all consecutive patients who underwent surgery at the Dept.
