Occupational injury history and universal precautions awareness: a survey in Kabul hospital staff
No full textAbstract Background Health staff in Afghanistan may be at high risk of needle stick injury and occupational infection with blood borne pathogens, but we have not found any published or unpublished data. Methods Our aim was to measure the percentage of healthcare staff reporting sharps injuries in the preceding 12 months, and to explore what they knew about universal precautions. In five randomly selected government hospitals in Kabul a total of 950 staff participated in the study. Data were analyzed with Epi Info 3. Results Seventy three percent of staff (72.6%, 491/676) reported sharps injury in the preceding 12 months, with remarkably similar levels between hospitals and staff cadres in the 676 (71.1%) people responding. Most at risk were gynaecologist/obstetricians (96.1%) followed by surgeons (91.1%), nurses (80.2%), dentists (75.4%), midwives (62.0%), technicians (50.0%), and internist/paediatricians (47.5%). Of the injuries reported, the commonest were from hollow-bore needles (46.3%, n = 361/780), usually during recapping. Almost a quarter (27.9%) of respondents had not been vaccinated against hepatitis B. Basic knowledge about universal precautions were found insufficient across all hospitals and cadres. Conclusion Occupational health policies for universal precautions need to be implemented in Afghani hospitals. Staff vaccination against hepatitis B is recommended.</p

Micro load balancing with delayed queue lengths
No full textDRILL is a micro load balancing algorithm designed to efficiently utilize the path redundancy in modern data centers. It uses egress port queue lengths to make fast packet routing decisions to reduce upstream congestion and queueing delays. However, high performance switches with multiple forwarding engines making routing decisions in parallel, do not have direct access to these queue lengths. We explore and evaluate different ways of obtaining this information in data center settings, specifically using incoming traffic and specially generated update packets to piggyback this information. We find that staleness of this data does not have a huge impact on flow completion times compared to DRILL (6% increase) and still achieves a considerable advantage over ECMP (28% decrease).Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2021-05-01The student, Fatima Tariq, accepted the attached license on 2019-04-21 at 23:01.The student, Fatima Tariq, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2019-04-21 at 23:17.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2019-04-22 at 10:41.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13809 on 2019-08-22 at 15:07:38Made available in DSpace on 2019-08-23T20:36:05Z (GMT).

Almond, Hazelnut, and Pistachio Skin: An Opportunity for Nutraceuticals
No full textNuts are dry, single-seeded fruits, with a combination of beneficial compounds that aid in disease prevention and treatment. This review aims to summarize the antioxidant components and the nutraceutical properties and applications of hazelnut, almond, and pistachio skins, as well as discuss their ability to prevent and treat specific diseases based on in vitro and in vivo studies. The search strategy included searching PubMed database and Google Scholar for relevant articles published in English. Research articles focusing on hazelnut, pistachio, and almond were included. The nut skin extracts were considered and other by-products were excluded from this search. Pistachio and almond skin hydroalcoholic extracts have antibacterial effects and decrease the risk of liver cancer by eliminating reactive oxygen species. Moreover, hazelnut skin can lower plasma against low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of colon cancer, and its polyphenolic extract can also decrease the formation of advanced glycation end products in vitro with multidimensional effects. Overall, hazelnut, pistachio, and almond skins are a great source of antioxidants, making them suitable for nutraceuticals’ development
