13. Estudo sobre hidrocefalias congenitas em um hospital universitario brasileiro
Since the early 1990 s there has been an increase in the number of children born with hydrocephalus at CAISM - UNICAMP. This observation has motivated the current study which airns to investigate this higher incidence, looking for the possible causes, as well as to analyse those cases of hydrocephalus associated with other congenital defects(CD).

14. Effects of hospital-based primary care setting on internists' treatment of primary care episodes.
The amount of primary care provided at hospitals is increasing, yet little information exists on the relative costs of this form of care. To address this issue, we compared the treatment resources used by internists practicing in hospital-based and free-standing clinics. The study site was the Kaiser-Permanente Medical Care Program, Oregon Region. To control

15. Coexistence of SHV-4- and TEM-24-Producing Enterobacter aerogenes Strains before a Large Outbreak of TEM-24-Producing Strains in a French Hospital
In 1996, a monitoring program was initiated at the teaching hospital of Amiens, France, and carried out for 3 years. All extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacter aerogenes isolates recovered from clinical specimens were collected for investigation of their epidemiological relatedness by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and enterobacterial

16. An overview of nosocomial infections, including the role of the microbiology laboratory.
An estimated 2 million patients develop nosocomial infections in the United States annually. The increasing number of antimicrobial agent-resistant pathogens and high-risk patients in hospitals are challenges to progress in preventing and controlling these infections. While Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus remain the most common pathogens isolated

17. Emergence and Rapid Spread of Carbapenem Resistance during a Large and Sustained Hospital Outbreak of Multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Beginning in 1992, a sustained outbreak of multiresistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections was noted in our 1,000-bed hospital in Barcelona, Spain, resulting in considerable overuse of imipenem, to which the organisms were uniformly susceptible. In January 1997, carbapenem-resistant (CR) A. baumannii strains emerged and rapidly disseminated in the intensiv

18. Isolation and Characterization of Glycopeptide-Resistant Enterococci from Hospitalized Patients over a 30-Month Period
In February 1996, a Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee-style screening program was commenced to isolate and subsequently characterize glycopeptide-resistant enterococci (GRE) from patients at a hospital trust in Glasgow, Scotland. Over the next 30 months, GRE were isolated from 154 patients. GRE were isolated from patients in traditional

19. The French National Program for the Prevention and Control of AIDS
The French policy concerning the fight against the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a complete and well-balanced one, using information not only for the general awareness of the general population, but also with the help of specific actions aimed at high risk groups. Screening is mandatory for blood, organ and cell donors, but it must absolutely
