Device-vigilance and environment of the medical practice

La Tunisie médicale
Mohamed MahjoubMansour Njah

Abstract

The Device-vigilance (DV) manages incidents or risk of incidents related to the use of medical devices (MD). In Tunisia, absence of a regulatory framework organizing DV is the major obstacle to caregivers' involvement in this system. 1/Compare knowledge, attitudes and practices of our UHC's physicians regarding the establishment of DV system (medical versus surgical) and 2/Detect effect of healthcare's environment on risk's perception linked to the use of MD. It is a descriptive cross-sectional and comparative study type knowledge, attitudes and practices; among all physicians of our UHC who are users of MD during their practice. A self-administered pre-established pre-tested questionnaire has been established. Data seizure and analyzing was performed using SPSS software20.0. Test adopted was the X2 (Pearson)(p<0.05) with correction using Yates or exact test Fischer. A statistically significant difference in favor of physicians exercising in medical services is reported for the knowledge of standardized reporting form's existence(p=0.04). Physicians practicing in surgical services report incidences and risk of incidences regarding MD use significantly more than their colleague of medical services. For attitudes, surgical physic...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
