This paper considers medical care given by physicians to men and women in the United States. It asks how often significant sex differences occur, if these are attributable medically relevant factors or not. Sex diagnostic services, therapeutic dispositions for follow-up studied All Visits, 15 major groups of complaints, 5 specific complaints (fatigue, headache, vertigo/dizziness, chest pain, back pain). Data from 1975 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS). The analysis reveals that...
Abstract Coping behaviors in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) or a spinal cord injury (SCI) were compared. Data collected on 433 subjects MS and 257 SCI. illness uncertainty measured by the Ways of Checklist (revised) Mishel Uncertainty Illness Scale. Results multivariate analysis covariance indicated that there was no significant difference between groups for use emotion‐focused coping (EFC) problem‐focused (PFC). However, depending appraisal life disability. Subjects used more EFC...
The purpose of this study was to test several formats end-of-life comfort instruments for patients and closely involved caregivers. Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory the theoretical framework utilized. Different response two (EOL) questionnaires (for caregivers, respectively), horizontal vertical visual analog scales total (TC) lines were compared in phases. Evaluable data collected from both members 38 patient-caregiver dyads each phase. Suitable recruited hospice agencies northeastern Ohio....
There is a need to develop and test interventions for patients near end of life that are comforting, easy learn administer, require little effort on the part recipients. This experimental study tested efficacy bilateral hand massage enhancing hospice patients' holistic comfort as measured with Hospice Comfort Questionnaire (HCQ). We hypothesized that, over 3 time points, who received would have higher less symptom distress than comparison group. Participants were randomized into treatment...
Scaphoid fractures are often missed in children because of their rarity and difficulty with radiographic diagnosis. Children treated for clinically suspected scaphoid although there is no evidence fracture on initial evaluation. The 2-fold purpose this study (1) to determine how many pediatric later became radiographically evident (2) identify physical examination findings that suggest a when present at evaluation.We performed separate retrospective longitudinal reviews younger than 16 years...
One in three people over the age of 65 fall every year, with 1/3 sustaining at least moderate injury. Falls risk reduction requires an interprofessional health team approach. The literature is lacking effective models to teach students how work collaboratively teams for geriatric falls prevention. purpose this paper describe development, administration and outcome measures education programme principles care older adults context prevention.Students from academic institutions representing 12...
The nursing outcome of holistic comfort encompasses physical, psychospiritual, social, and environmental aspects human nature. primary purpose this study was to test four propositions about the nature comfort: (a) Comfort has equal proportions state trait characteristics; (b) is sensitive changes over time; (c) when subjects are exposed an effective intervention, they demonstrate differences in that increase a linear way compared control group; (d) whole (total comfort) greater than sum its...
Compromised urinary bladder syndrome (CUBS), a combination of frequency and incontinence, causes multiple discomforts for community-dwelling adults. A holistic intervention—audiotaped cognitive strategies—was designed to augment the effects an educational program treat CUBS. CUBS was operationalized with voiding diary, comfort related health in questionnaire. In this quasiexperimental design outcomes were measured at four time points. Repeated measures multivariate analyses variance...
This article examines how often physicians prescribe therapeutic drugs to men and women who present the same complaints or receive diagnoses. Data are from 1975 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey pertain visits made by U.S. adults office-based that year. For most common diagnoses, prescriptions more than do. The differences on small side (1 18% of women's result in men's), but they very persistent across a wide variety health problems. between patients do not explain this. Controlling...
Brain injury resulting from stroke often causes upper-extremity motor deficits that limit activities of daily living. Several therapies being developed for rehabilitation after focus on increasing time spent using the extremity to promote relearning. Providing a novel system user-worn therapy may increase amount and rate functional recovery. A comprising accelerometers, gyroscopes, electromyography amplifiers was used wirelessly transmit motion muscle activity normal subjects computer as...
Background: The effect of compression on the physis is generally defined by Hueter-Volkmann principle, in which decreased linear growth results from increased compression. This investigation examined whether mechanically induced rabbit physes causes changes gene expression, cells, and extracellular components that promote physeal resilience strength (type-II collagen aggrecan) cartilage hypertrophy (type-X matrix metalloprotease-13). Methods: Static compressive loads (10 N or 30 N) were...
Three nursing interventions to increase total comfort and reduce stress-related events in young college students experiencing stress were compared. Healing Touch, coaching, a combination of both, compared waitlist. On stress, Touch had better immediate results, while coaching carryover effects.
Background: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is usually treated with percutaneous in situ screw fixation to prevent further progression of deformity. The purpose this investigation compare computer navigation (CN) techniques traditional fluoroscopic (fluoro) for SCFE. Methods: This study was an IRB-approved prospective 39 hip pinnings 33 children. CN were used 22 cases and fluoro 17. groups statistically similar terms grade acuity the slip. Children assigned based on intraoperative...
Cancer incidence is increasing more rapidly and cancer survival worse among Ontario's First Nations, Inuit Métis (FNIM) populations than other Ontarians.Cancer Care Aboriginal Strategy II aims to reduce this health inequity improve the journey experience for FNIM people in Ontario.This comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy was developed being implemented with Peoples Ontario a way that honours Path of Well-being.
As a potential means of comparing hypothyroidism in humans, this work intended to establish defined hypothyroid state immature miniature swine and evaluate specific molecular, cellular, extracellular responses their growth plates. Two male, 11-week-old Sinclair were given 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) water two other like animals (controls) provided without PTU. Blood levels thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxin (T4) monitored weekly. At 25 weeks age, the hind limb...
Compromised urinary bladder syndrome (CUBS) is defined as frequency (UF) and/or incontinence (UI) sufficient to be a problem. This term an expansion of separate mainstream concepts referring UF and UI, because the new entails both phenomena considered at one time. Cognitive strategies (CS) offer way enhance effectiveness implementation behavioral interventions directed assist persons with CUBS. Two hypotheses predicted that receiving health information would show less improvement on outcomes...
Tailoring and testing a peer support decision making strategy with First Nations, Inuit Métis people decisions about their cancer care: A study protocol. (FNIM) face higher risks for compared to non-FNIM populations. They also cultural barriers health service use. Within populations an approach making, called shared (SDM), has been found improve the participation of in healthcare. Peer SDM further improves these benefits. The purpose this is tailor test community workers increase FNIM...
