Comparison of media for isolation of salmonellae and shigellae from fecal specimens.

Five transport media, eight plating media, and three enrichment broth media for the isolation of salmonellae and shigellae were evaluated. Eight laboratories in widely separated regions of the United States participated in this evaluation by submitting 490 fecal specimens in the transport media provided. The results suggest that the newer transport media may not offer any advantage over the use of buffered glycerol-saline in the isolation of these enteric pathogens. Shigellae were best isolated by direct inoculation, whereas salmonellae were isolated in greater numbers after tetrathionate (without Brilliant Green) enrichment with subsequent culturing on the plating medium. The use of a variety of plating media is recommended for the recovery of a larger number of these enteric pathogens.

Changing care staff approaches to the prevention and management of aggressive behaviour in a residential treatment unit for persons with mental retardation and challenging behaviour.

The impact of a new training procedure aimed at improving staff skills in the preventative and reactive management of severely challenging behaviours was investigated within a six-place residential treatment unit. The results showed that there was some evidence to support the notion that the training reduced the number of behavioural incidents for most residents. The rates of major reactive strategy use (restraint and emergency medication) also declined over time, as did rates of staff and resident injury. Although only a limited number of these changes showed statistically significant correlations with time, it is argued that they were clinically significant when viewed against the complexity of the client group under study.

Clinically effective leg ulcer care.

Leg ulcers are a common and debilitating problem. Despite the presence of evidence to suggest that certain treatments can provide effective management, there are widespread variations in the provision of care. The project examined here brought together staff from both acute hospital and community settings. As a result the availability of education, training and materials to ensure evidence-based practice was improved.
