Objective: To analysis the relevant infections and risk factors of patients undergoing hemodialysis semi-permanent catheter (tunneled cuffed) placement during for maintenance hemodialysis.
Methods: A total of 158 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) End stage renal failure (ESRF) treated in our hospital from September 2018 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients underwent semi-permanent catheter placement during maintenance hemodialysis. The occurrence of catheter-related infections in the patients were recorded. The patients with catheter-related infections were included in the infection group, and the others without infection in the non-infection group. The differences in hypertension, gender, diabetes, age, catheter indwelling time and dialysis time between the two groups were analyzed, and the distribution of pathogens in the patients with infections was analyzed.
Results: The patients were followed up for 13 to 36 months, with an average of (22.18 ± 6.09) months. Among the 158 patients who underwent going semi-permanent catheter placement, 42 (26.58%) presented semi-permanent catheter-related infections, including four cases of catheter-related bacteremia, 16 cases of tunnel infection and 22 cases of catheter exit-site infection. Among total of 42 strains of pathogens were isolated from the 42 patients with catheter-related infections, including 243 strains of Gram-positive cocci were identified in 24/42(57.14%), and 163 strains of Gram-negative bacilli were identified 16/42(38.10%) and one starin of fungus was identified in 2/42 patients. Statistically significant differences were found in dialysis duration time, hypoalbuminemia, average mean age, diabetes and catheter indwelling time between patients with and without catheter-related infections ( < 0.05). Hypoalbuminemia, catheter indwelling time and diabetes were risk factors for catheter-related infections ( < 0.05).
Conclusions: Patients with ESRF CRF are at risk and prone to catheter-related infections during hemodialysis using catheter, mainly tunnel infection and catheter exit-site infection. Gram-positive cocci are the main pathogens. Hypoalbuminemia, too long catheter indwelling time and diabetes are the risk factors for infections.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 resulted in restrictions in didactic and clinical rotations while sites denied entry or limited numbers of nursing student placements to decrease impact staff nurse workload. Pandemic incidences of hospital-acquired infections, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) increased, underscoring the importance of increasing workforce-ready nurses.
Method: To increase the number of nursing students permitted into the hospital, hospital and school administrators devised the nurse assist program (NAP), which is a collaborative approach developed to address increased staff workloads and personnel shortages and facilitate student return to clinical settings.

Background: Limited data is available to evaluate the burden of device associated healthcare infections (HAI) [central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)] in low and-middle-income countries. Our aim is to investigate the population attributable mortality fraction and the absolute mortality difference of HAI in a broad population of critically ill patients from Brazil.
Methods: Multicenter cohort study from September 2019 to December 2023 with prospective individual patient data collection.

Article Synopsis
- This study challenges the effectiveness of silver-coated catheters in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) after pelvic floor surgery (PFS).
- The aim was to compare the incidence of UTIs in women using silver-coated versus standard silicone catheters following surgery for urinary retention.
- Results showed no significant difference in UTI rates between the two groups, with similar demographics and no adverse reactions noted.

Medical catheters are susceptible to biological contamination and pathogen invasion, leading to infection and inflammatory complications. The development of antimicrobial coatings for medical devices has emerged as a promising strategy. However, limited biological functionality and the incompatibility between bactericidal properties and biosafety remain great challenges.

Background: Hepatic abscesses represent infections of the liver parenchyma from bacteria, fungi, and parasitic organisms. Trends in both abscess microbiology and management of abscesses (infective collections) have changed over the past decade. There is a paucity of published data regarding the clinicopathological features of liver abscesses in sub-Saharan Africa and other low-income and middle-income countries.
