Background Nursing professional values form the basis of nursing interventions and serve as a guide for practice, reflecting in all interactions with patients other healthcare professionals. As constitute powerful influencers strong commitment to these is essential students provide high-quality care. Aim To evaluate impact high-fidelity simulation training on first-year students’ acquisition. Research design Quasi-experimental study using longitudinal single group pre- post-intervention...
To estimate the increase in length of stay and cost illness pressure injuries (PIs) inpatient area a socio-health center. This was retrospective cohort study that included consecutive sampling patients admitted to programs socio-healthcare center between January 1, 2016, December 31, 2018. Data were retrospectively extracted from patients' electronic health records. During period 4,062 different hospitalization programs. The mean age 75.34 ± 13.69 years, 51.2% them men. Of these, 1,421 had...
We investigated the possible involvement of H2S in nitric oxide independent inhibitory neurotransmission to pig bladder neck.We used immunohistochemistry determine expression synthesis enzymes cystathionine γ-lyase and β-synthase. also electrical field stimulation myographs for isometric force recordings study relaxation response endogenously released or exogenously applied urothelium denuded, phenylephrine precontracted neck strips under noradrenergic, noncholinergic, nonnitrergic...
According to previous observations nitric oxide (NO), as well an unknown nature mediator are involved in the inhibitory neurotransmission intravesical ureter. This study investigates hydrogen sulfide (H2S) role neurogenic relaxation of pig We have performed western blot and immunohistochemistry expression H2S synthesis enzymes cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) β-synthase (CBS), measurement enzymatic production myographic studies for isometric force recording. Immunohistochemical assays showed a...
Background: Along history, music has been used in a variety of ways for therapeutic purposes and long recognized its physiological psychological effects. Music listening can be an effective nursing intervention, to enhance relaxation, provide distraction, reduce pain. Objectives: The aims this study were identify changes produced by different musical stimuli blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), respiratory (RR), oxygen saturations (SpO2) verify the influence on patients’ facial expressions...
This study aims to explore the experiences and mediating factors of nurses' responses electronic device alarms in critical care units (CCUs).Alarm fatigue occasionally has adverse consequences for patient safety.This qualitative was designed analysed following Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological approach. Seventeen nurses were theoretically sampled, reaching information saturation. Semistructured interviews used collect data.Three central themes explained experiences: general perceptions...
Background Communication is one of the central axes around which end-of-life care revolves in context palliative care. bad news reported as most difficult and stressful tasks by professionals. Therefore, aim this study to identify aspects related communication Spain. Methods Descriptive cross-sectional study. An ad hoc questionnaire was designed sent e-mail all teams Results Overall, 206 professionals (102 nurses, 88 physicians 16 psychologists) completed questionnaire. A total 60.2%...
Background. Pelvic lymphoceles are frequently described as a complication of pelvic lymphadenectomy performed for surgical staging gynaecologic malignancies. Case Report. A 72-year-old woman presented with severe symptomatic and refractory lymphocele associated persistent lower limb lymphedema recurrent erysipelas. After four CT fluoroscopy scan guided percutaneous catheter drainages, the complicated infection finally resolved two sessions bleomycin sclerotherapy. Conclusion. Symptomatic...
Pain is the primary limitation to performing hysteroscopy. We aimed evaluate predictive factors of low tolerance office hysteroscopic procedures. Retrospective cohort study patients who underwent hysteroscopy from January 2018 December 2020 at a tertiary care center. office-based was subjectively assessed by operator as terrible, poor, moderate, good, or excellent. Categorical variables were compared with use Chi-squared test; an independent-samples t-test conducted compare continuous...
Introducción y objetivos: las úlceras por presión (UPP) representan una carga sobreagregada a la enfermedad menor calidad de vida para el paciente los que están su cuidado.Su presencia está considerada, además, un indicador negativo asistencial.El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo general conocer situación en cuanto prevalencia UPP Fundación Instituto San José (FISJ), objetivos secundarios averiguar distribución entre distintos programas del centro; grado severidad lesiones tanto externas...
Aims Neuronal and non‐neuronal bradykinin (BK) receptors regulate the contractility of bladder urine outflow region. The current study investigates role BK in regulation smooth muscle pig intravesical ureter. Methods Western blot immunohistochemistry were used to show expression B 1 2 myographs for isometric force recordings. Results receptor was consistently detected ureter urothelium layer, not where a strong immunoreactivity observed within nerve fibers among bundles. On ureteral strips...
Aims The current study investigates the role played by bradykinin (BK) receptors in contractility to pig bladder neck smooth muscle. Methods Bladder strips were mounted myographs for isometric force recordings and BK expression was also determined immunohistochemistry. Results B2 receptor observed muscular layer urothelium whereas B1 consistent detected urothelium. A strong immunoreactivity within nerve fibers among muscle bundles. On urothelium-denuded preparations basal tone, induced...
The technological transformation and advertising utilized in the footwear industry significantly impact purchasing decisions. gait properties, barefoot with shoes, change depending on structure. aim of this work is biomechanical analysis walking different sports shoes a controlled group 12 children between 4 6 years old. Kinematic spatiotemporal variables were analyzed using BTS motion capture system Helen Hayes protocol. Previously, survey was carried out 262 families old to justify choice...
Abstract Aims There is no information about the signaling pathways involved in endothelin‐1 (ET‐1)‐induced contraction of bladder neck. The current study investigates mechanisms ET‐1‐elicited pig Methods Bladder neck strips were mounted organ baths containing physiological saline solution at 37°C and gassed with 95% O 2 5% CO , for isometric force recording to endothelin receptor agonists, noradrenaline (NA), electrical field stimulation. Endothelin ET A expression was also determined, by...
