Incidence of Microbial Pattern Pre and Post Infection Control Training at Newly Established Teaching Centre; Experience from Pakistan

ACTA SCIENTIFIC MICROBIOLOGY (2023)

Background: One of the main downside of a hospital is healthcare related infections which impose great challenge to health systems despite many advances.These infections affect morbidity/mortality and also increase the economic burden.Our study was designed to compare the difference in infection control at our hospital before and after taking measures at our newly established centre. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted after ethical approval from February, 2018 to January2019.The study was divided into two phases.First phase comprised of initial 6 months and second phase for later 06 months of hospital establishment.Data were collected from the laboratory in form of cultures reports.Descriptive and inferential statistic was done by using SPSS version 23.0.Results: A total of 1151 cultures were sent, out of which 681 (59%) were sent in initial phase and 470 (41%) were sent in later phase.It was found out that in initial and later phase there was increased rate of fungal growth in environment cultures.In majority of the patients no bacterial growth was reported in initial and later phase.Overall, absence of any organisms was found to be statistically same in both phases.However, bacterial and fungal growth reduced in later than the initial phase and the reduction in fungal growth was statistically significant.The growth of organism from the environment, accessories inside the patient's room, nursing counter, and patients was found statistically non-significant. Conclusions:Our study revealed that the number of organisms isolated in initial phase was greater than the later phase but the reduction was not satisfactory.Implementation of policies and protocols are needed in this regard.

INVESTIGATING TEACHING SPEAKING SKILLS THROUGH A.V.AIDS FOR ESL LEARNERS

IJAEDU- International E-Journal of Advances in Education (2019)

The quality of our expression depends on our use of speaking skills. The importance and value of speaking English has been accepted worldwide. English language is most dynamic and crucial aspect of universal human interaction. In Pakistan, teaching of English was mainly focused upon reading and writing skills. But in today's world, listening and speaking skills have become much more important than in the past. Present study is an investigation in the field of teaching speaking skills through A.V. Aids. It is said that now the trends have been changed and teachers are getting acknowledged with the importance of speaking skills. Recently, AV. aids are being used frequently in the classrooms to make the teaching learning process easy, attractive and interesting. At the same time when trends are changing on daily basis, there are some Govt. institutes which are still following the traditional methods of teaching speaking skills. In Pakistani scenario, the situation is alarming. Govt. institutes are still following the traditional ways of teaching. So in the present study, the focus is on this matter whether the use of A.V. Aids can be beneficial in bringing a positive change in the teaching learning process of speaking skills for the ESL learners. So the current study investigates the use of A.V. Aids in classrooms and its drastic effects on teaching speaking skills to the teen aging ESL learners. The collective problems of teacher and the students during speaking skills was the main focus of the study. It was a pre-test post-test experimental design. Fifty students participated in this study. Sample of the study were teen aging ESL learners. Observation and questionnaire were used as a tool to collect data from respondents. There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results. It was suggested that speech practice training with the help of AV aids should encouraged at secondary level.

Hereditary hearing impairment is one of the common monogenic disorder in Pakistan.It is estimated that around 0.16% peoples have moderate to profound prelingual hearing loss while one-third of people above 60 years have some sort hearing problem.I had enrolled 150 families with prelingual hearing loss.Initial screening of these families was done by genotyping reported loci with fluorescently labelled STR markers.Families showing linkage with specific loci was confirmed by NGS based platforms like OtoSeqand Sanger sequencing.Combination of these techniques led towards the identification.Combination of these techniques led towards the identification of 34 pathogenic variants in GJB2, MYO7A, CDH23, MARVELD2 and POU3F4 in 40 families.Fifteen of these variants have not reported earlier.Families remain unlinked with reported loci were subjected for Genome wide scan, SNP analysis and exome sequencing.A novel deafness locus DFNB79 were mapped though GWS and three Novel gene GIPC3, TAPRN and NARS2 were identified by the combination of Linkage analysis and next generation exome sequencing.Using NGS based platforms like OtoSeq, GWS, SNP analysis and exome sequencing in families segregating hearing loss, will contribute to the identification of common and population specific mutations, early diagnosis, genetic counseling and molecular epidemiology.
