Skin temperature and vascular attributes as early warning signs of pressure injury

ObjectivesThis study aimed to validate the skin temperature on sacral region and vascular attributes as early warning signs of pressure injury.MethodsTotally 415 patients admitted to the adult intensive care unit from August 2018 to April 2019 were prospectively screened. Daily blood pressure and blood glucose affecting vascular attributes and the relative skin temperature of sacral region were measured for 10 consecutive days. Collect the changes of these indicators during the occurrence of pressure injury. The optimal cut-off values of indicators were determined by X-tile analysis. The risk ratios of indicators associated with pressure injury were compared using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.ResultsThere were no obvious interactions among blood pressure, blood glucose and relative skin temperature (P > 0.05). The optimal cutoff value for above indicators was 63.5 mmHg, 9.9 mmol/L and −0.1 °C, respectively. The incidence of pressure injury peaked on the 4th and 5th day after hospitalization when categorizing the patients into low- and high-risk groups according to the cutoff values (P < 0.05). Based on relative skin temperature, patients in the high-risk group were more likely to develop pressure injury (hazard ratio = 6.36, 95% confidence interval = 3.91, 10.36), when compared to the other two indicators of blood pressure and blood glucose.ConclusionStringent skin temperature and vascular attributes measurements were necessary for preventing pressure injury. Nursing measures should be taken according to warning sings to reduce the incidence of pressure injury.

Perceptions of admission committee members: some aspects on individual admission to dental education at Karolinska Institutet

The aim of the study was to generate an overall impression of the admission committee's (AC) perspective on individualised admission procedures, derived from some perceived experience of the individual committee members using semi-structured interviews. Qualitative research was used and data were collected by use of interviews. The results show that the committee members are highly committed to the task and try to identify desirable, non-cognitive attributes in the applicants, such as motivation, empathy, drive, and tenacity: 'emotional intelligence'. The committee members were of the opinion that it was possible to identify these attributes in an applicant. The AC further believes that the admissions procedure influences academic achievements because students regard themselves as specially selected and therefore aspire to higher achievements.

Clinical characteristics of ambulatory and hospitalized patients with monkeypox virus infection: an observational cohort study

ObjectivesA global outbreak of monkeypox virus infections in human beings has been described since April 2022. The objectives of this study were to describe the clinical characteristics and complications of patients with a monkeypox infection.MethodsAll consecutive patients with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–confirmed monkeypox infection seen in a French referral centre were included.ResultsBetween 21 May and 5 July 2022, 264 patients had a PCR-confirmed monkeypox infection. Among them, 262 (262/264, 99%) were men, 245 (245/259, 95%) were men who have sex with men, and 90 (90/216, 42%) practiced chemsex in the last 3 months. Seventy-three (73/256, 29%) patients were living with human immunodeficiency virus infection, and 120 (120/169, 71%) patients were taking pre-exposure prophylaxis against human immunodeficiency virus infection. Overall, 112 (112/236, 47%) patients had contact with a confirmed monkeypox case; it was of sexual nature for 95% of the contacts (86/91). Monkeypox virus PCR was positive on the skin in 252 patients, on the oropharyngeal sample in 150 patients, and on blood in eight patients. The majority of patients presented with fever (171/253, 68%) and adenopathy (174/251, 69%). Skin lesions mostly affected the genital (135/252, 54%) and perianal (100/251, 40%) areas. Overall, 17 (17/264, 6%) patients were hospitalized; none of them were immunocompromised. Complications requiring hospitalization included cellulitis (n = 4), paronychia (n = 3), severe anal and digestive involvement (n = 4), non-cardia angina with dysphagia (n = 4), blepharitis (n = 1), and keratitis (n = 1). Surgical management was required in four patients.ConclusionThe current outbreak of monkeypox infections has specific characteristics: it occurs in the men who have sex with men community; known contact is mostly sexual; perineal and anal areas are frequently affected; and severe complications include superinfected skin lesions, paronychia, cellulitis, anal and digestive involvement, angina with dysphagia, and ocular involvement.

童Stevens-Johnson综合征和中毒性表皮坏死松解症：一项回顾性研究

目的 分析儿童Stevens-Johnson综合征(Stevens-Johnson syndrome，SJS)、中毒性表皮坏死松解症（toxic epidermal necrolysis，TEN）和SJS/TEN重叠患儿的致病因素、临床特征、治疗管理以及并发症和预后。 方法 回顾性分析SJS患儿32例、SJS/TEN重叠患儿28例和TEN患儿25例的临床资料。 结果 最常见的致病药物是抗生素(31.7%)、中成药制剂（30.6%）、非甾体抗炎药(17.6%)和抗惊厥药(14.1%)。肺炎支原体（21例，24.7%）是最常见的病原。32例（37.6%）患儿至少存在一种并发症，最常见的并发症是感染(26例，30.6%)，其中皮肤感染（12例，14.1%）和下呼吸道感染（8例，9.4%）。住院期间，8例患儿接受单纯免疫球蛋白治疗，35例接受单纯静脉糖皮质激素治疗，37例患儿同时接受两者，采用静脉丙球联合激素组病死率最低。死亡8例，病死率为9.4%。死亡者入院第1天中毒性表皮坏死松解症严重程度评分(severity-of-illness score for toxic epidermal necrolysis，SCORTEN）评分高于存活者(P＜0.05)。 结论 抗生素和中成药是常见的致敏药物，皮肤感染是常见的并发症，SCORTEN评分≥3分死亡风险增加，系统应用糖皮质激素并早期予以静脉注射免疫球蛋白可能是治疗 SJS 和 TEN 的有效手段。
