What is nosocomial infection rate?
The nosocomial infection rate describes the number of health-care associated infections occurring per unit time in an at risk population. Often, nosocomial infection rates are categorized by type of infection, such as surgical-site infections, central-line associated blood stream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, or health-care associated urinary tract infections. These rates can be calculated by dividing the number of cases by the number of days at risk. For example, suppose 10 people are mechanically ventilated for 5 days each, and one person develops ventilator associated pneumonia on day 2. The 9 who do not develop pneumonia contribute 90 person-days at risk but the person who developed pneumonia on day 2 contributes only 2 person-days. Then the ventilator associated pneumonia rate is then 1 case per 92 ventilator-days. Alternatively, infection "rates" may be reported as the proportion of patients who develop a nosocomial infection. In the example above, 1 person in 10, or 10%, developed pneumonia. However, this is not a true rate because it does not contain time in the denominator. Many nosocomial infection 'rates' are actually reported as proportions and are not clearly labeled.
What is secondary containment and what does it pertain to?
It is a second containment in case the first fails. It could relate to animal fences or tanks for chemicals.

What may be the risks when amputation is not performed in case of limb infection?
When amputation is not performed in the case of limb infection there are a number of risks. The main risk is that the infection will spread further than the infected limb and that this may become life threatening.
What is a persistent infection?
Viral infections are usually self limiting. Many times they kill the host. As in case of rabies, At times avian flu or normal flu. But as in case of human immunodeficiency virus infection the patient may carry the infection for 8 to 10 years. Or in case of Hepatitis B infection, the infection may persist for years. Patient may land up into cancer of liver or cirrhosis of liver.

Which class of immunoglobulins will increase in case of chronic infection?
IgG
What are the risks of a cystectomy?
As with any major surgery, there is a risk of infection; in this case infection of the intestine is especially dangerous as it can lead to peritonitis
Why did the US follow the containment strategy during the cold war?
Nukes, ICBM's contained both. In that case, cold was much better than hot.
What is the prognosis for a case of yeast infection?
It is not life-threatening, but it can be uncomfortable and frustrating.
How long would a zombie viris take to kill every one?
It would depend on the rate of infection and how quickly it spreads. In a worst-case scenario, it could take only a matter of days or weeks for a zombie virus to infect and kill a large portion of the population. Swift action and containment measures would be crucial to prevent widespread destruction.
What is the best medicine for cockroach bite?
