How long has weight loss surgery been around?
As a concept, veganism is fairly modern. Notable vegans prior to the twentieth century include Dr. Willam Lambe in 1806 and the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1813. Before their time, many cultures practiced abstinence from meat and other animal products for a number of reasons--some having to do with scarcity and others for religion or spirituality* (though the act of abstinence from meat, culturally speaking, is a debate among anthropologists). Early humans may or may not have practiced vegansim; most archaeological evidence suggests that humans did eat meat when it was accessible. Due to a general lack of research concerning the existence of vegan ideals in prehistoric human cultures, there is not substantive evidence either way.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, many young people became disenchanted with middle-class way of life in Germany and formed communities based on alternative ways of living. One of these groups, known as the "Wandervogel," sought harmony with nature and adopted vegan principles. Groups like the Wandervogel are associated with the subculture that initiated the popularity of vegan ideals in the United States. However, the term "vegan" was not in use prior to 1944, when the vegan society was founded.
*Jainism is an example of a spiritual practice for which a strict form of ethical vegetarianism is an important component.

What are the treatments of nosocomial infection?
"Nosocomial infection" just refers to infections acquired at a health care location or facility. The treatment would be the same for "community-acquired" infections and nosocomial infections and determined by the organisms involved and the individual infected (which could be any type of infection: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, etc.). Sometimes the specific organisms involved in bacterial nosocomial infections are very hard to treat because they may be "antibiotic resistant."
