Impact of hand hygiene knowledge on the hand hygiene compliance

By Martin Novák, Jozef Breznický, Jana Kompaníková, Nora Malinovská, Henrieta Hudečková

Aim
Hand hygiene practice is still burdened by inadequate compliance, whether in the professional sphere by health professionals or in the non-professional sphere by lay population. Aim of this study was to map the hand hygiene knowledge and its compliance in the monitored group of people.
Methods
The research was conducted at the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin of Comenius University in Bratislava (JFM CU) among seventy 3 rd year students of General Medicine (medical study program), and Nursing, Midwifery and Public Health (non-medical study programs). Knowledge of hygienic hand washing according to the WHO guidelines from 2009 was investigated, as well as differences in the level of microbial contamination of hands after routine hand washing between the group that had been acquainted with hand hygiene protocols and the group that had not sufficiently.
Results
The results have shown that 32.9% of the students did not perform hygienic hand washing properly. The differences between the groups of students with and without the proper hand hygiene compliance in routine hand washing were not statistically significant. Conclusion
The results of our survey have suggested that the reasons for decreased compliance with hand washing protocols may be related to forgetting to wash the hands or not being acquainted with hand washing protocols at all. The strategies focused only on one aspect of hand hygiene are, according to scientific literature, ineffective in the long term.

ChatGPT's contributions to the evolution of neurosurgical practice and education: a systematic review of benefits, concerns and limitations

By Hakija Bečulić, Emir Begagić, Rasim Skomorac, Anes Mašović, Edin Selimović, Mirza Pojskić

Aim
This study provides a comprehensive review of the current literature on the use of ChatGPT, a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool, in neurosurgery. The study examines potential benefits and limitations of ChatGPT in neurosurgical practice and education.
Methods
The study involved a systematic review of the current literature on the use of AI in neurosurgery, with a focus on
ChatGPT. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to ensure a comprehensive and transparent review process. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. The data extracted from the included studies were analysed and synthesized to provide an overview of the current state of research on the use of ChatGPT in neurosurgery.
Results
The ChatGPT showed a potential to complement and enhance neurosurgical practice. However, there are risks and limitations associated with its use, including question format limitations, validation challenges, and algorithmic bias. The study highlights the importance of validating machine-generated content for accuracy and addressing ethical concerns associated with AI technologies. The study also identifies potential benefits of ChatGPT, such as providing personalized treatment plans, supporting surgical planning and navigation, and enhancing large data processing efficiency and accuracy.
Conclusion
The integration of AI technologies into neurosurgery should be approached with caution and careful consideration of
ethical and validation issues. Continued research and development of AI tools in neurosurgery can help us further understand their potential benefits and limitations.

Urban thoracic trauma: diagnosis and initial treatment of non-cardiac injuries in adults

By Vasileios Leivaditis, Athanasios Papatriantafyllou, Ioanna Akrida, Michail Galanis, Emmanouil Dimopoulos, Anastasia Papaporfyriou, Benjamin Ehle, Efstratios Koletsis, Nikolaos Charokopos, George Pappas-Gogos, Francesk Mulita, Georgios-Ioannis Verras, Konstantinos Tasios, Vasiliki Garantzioti, Levan Tchabashvili, Manfred Dahm, Konstantinos Grapatsas

This comprehensive review aims to delineate the prevailing non-cardiac thoracic injuries occurring in urban environments following initial on-site treatment and subsequent admission to hospital emergency departments. Our study involved a rigorous search within the PubMed database, employing key phrases and their combinations, including "thoracic injury," "thoracic trauma," "haemothorax," "lung contusion," "traumatic pneumothorax," "rib fractures," and "flail chest." We focused on original research articles and reviews. Non-cardiac thoracic injuries exhibit a high prevalence, often affecting poly-trauma patients, and contributing to up to 35% of polytrauma-related fatalities. Furthermore, severe thoracic injuries can result in a substantial 5% mortality rate. This review provides insights into clinical entities such as lung contusion, traumatic haemothorax, pneumothorax, rib fractures, and sternal fractures. Thoracic injuries represent a frequent and significant clinical concern for emergency department physicians and thoracic surgeons, warranting thorough understanding and timely intervention.
