Purpose One of the most significant limitations at-home autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) is necessity for hospital readmission. We developed an ASCT program in which prophylactic ceftriaxone and treatment febrile neutropenia with piperacillin tazobactam was introduced to minimize readmission rate. Patients Methods Between November 2000 February 2005, 178 consecutive patients underwent a hematologic malignancy. Of these, 50 fulfilled requirements ASCT. Results were compared those...
Abstract Background The purpose of this paper is to describe how end-of-life care managed when life-support limitation decided in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and analyze the influence further development Palliative Unit. Methods A 15-year retrospective study children who died after was initiated pediatric intensive unit. Patients were divided into two groups, pre- post-palliative unit development. Epidemiological clinical data, decision-making process, approach analyzed. Data obtained...

Design Retrospective, descriptive study. Setting Pediatric neonatal intensive care units in referral hospital. Patients Children under 18 years admitted unit after surgery. Interventions None. Outcome measures...
When people think counterfactually about what might have been different for a sequence of events, they are influenced by the order in which events occurred. They tend to mentally undo most recent event temporal two events. But first causal four We report results experiments that show and effects not dependent on number sequence. Our experiment, with 300 participants, shows effect occurs sequences as well second 372 discuss terms mental representations construct sequences.
Introduction and objective Children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit after cardiovascular surgery usually require treatment with antibiotics due suspicion of infection. The aim this study was assess effectiveness procalcitonin in decreasing duration antibiotic children surgery. Methods Prospective, interventional carried out a unit. Included patients under 18 years old cardiopulmonary bypass. Two groups were compared, depending on implementation PCT-guided protocol stop or...
Background Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the standard of care for young multiple myeloma (MM) patients; indeed, at-home ASCT has been positioned as an appropriate therapeutic strategy. However, despite use prophylactic antibiotics, neutropenic fever (NF) and hospital readmissions continue to pose most important limitations in outpatient setting. It is possible that febrile episodes may have a non-infectious etiology, engraftment syndrome could play more significant...
Despite the use of fluoroquinolone (FQ) prophylaxis, neutropenic fever (NF) is most frequent cause hospital readmission in ambulatory care programs for patients treated with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We analyzed impact intensifying primary prophylaxis addition piperacillin/tazobactam (PT) to FQ. Between January 2002 and August 2018, 154 lymphoma conditioned BEAM were included (40% received ceftriaxone (Ct) plus FQ 60% PT FQ). NF required 84 vs. 41% (p < .0001) 12 1% =...

This study focused on the perception of death due to intimate partner violence against women. I describe two experiments that analyzed effects controllability and perspective perceived causality these events measured by means counterfactual reasoning about past future as much attributions responsibility blame. The empathy for a victim in second experiment were also investigated. participants' replies controllable factors which classified into four categories: perpetrator, victim, formal...
Abstract (1) There is enough contradictory evidence regarding the role of base rates in category learning to confirm nonexistence biases such learning. (2) It not always possible activate statistical reasoning through frequentist representation. (3) necessary use concept systematic processing reconsidering published work on biases.
The present research evaluates people’s perception of serial murders, analysing the effects controllability in counterfactual reasoning about past and future, as well attributions responsibility blame. Besides, analyses perspective (one’s own versus other people’s) these attributions. Participants were 442 students who answered open-ended questions designed for this study. first experiment shows that people focus on controllable factors previous to events. When considering avoidance...
