Impact of serum sodium on heart rate variability in Dialytic chronic renal patients

Objective: to analyze the influence of serum sodium (sNa) on heart rate variability (HRV) in chronic dialytic renal patients. Methods: cross-sectional study with comparative approach with subjects undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and a control group. Resting HRV, in time (TD) and frequency domain (FD) analysis, and evaluation of biochemical markers of renal function were performed.The volunteers were allocated into three groups: normotremia dialysis group (NDG), hyponatremia dialysis group (HDG) and a control group (CG).

Os desafios enfrentados por cuidadores de idosos com alzheimer

Doença cerebral crônico-degenerativa, progressiva e irreversível, o Alzheimer, torna o paciente dependente de um cuidador, por ter sua integridade física, mental e social afetada.Considerada a mais comum e prevalente entre idosos, a mesma não tem cura, contudo a terapêutica empregada retarda a sintomatologia. Apresenta etiologia multifatorial com características neuropatológicas e neuroquímicas específicas.Com isso, o cuidador deve compreender a progressão clínica da doença e assim assistir o paciente integralmente.

Biosafety: a review about the teaching and knowledge of the theme

Introduction: Biosafety aims to promote infection control measures to protect the health team, academics and the community against exposure to potentially pathogenic biological agents. Objective: to analyze the scientific evidence available in the literature that refer to the teaching and knowledge of nursing students about biosafety. Method: integrative literature review using the LILACS, MedLine, Scielo, BDENF and PubMed databases. Publications from January 2000 to June 2018 were used.

Spectral-domain oct predictors of visual outcomes after ranibizumab treatment for macular edema resulting from retinal vein occlusion

The authors are commenting on the study entitled “Spectral-domain OCT predictors of visual outcomes after ranibizumab treatment for macular edema resulting from retinal vein occlusion” published by Yiu et al. in Ophthalmology Retina 2020;4(1):67-76. Published online August 28, 2019.The conclusion of this study was that none of the imaging biomarkers showed an independent association with visual outcomes after 7 monthly ranibizumab injections in both central and branch retinal vein occlusions.

The relation of hla-b27 typing with other biomarkersin Iraqi patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Sixty (60) patients were included in this study, were diagnosed as established AS patients who were attending the rheumatology outpatient clinic of Baghdad teaching hospital, thirty (30) patients of them were on conventional treatment (steroid and/or cytotoxic drugs), while the other thirty (30) patients were on biological treatment (infliximab infusion).The Human Leucocyte Antigen B-27 waspositive in 34 (56.7 %) patients, and in no subject (0%) from controlgroup and this difference is highly statistically significant (P- Value <0.0001) and there is a significant difference of high sensi

Estratégia de atenção integrada às doenças prevalentes na infância (aidpi): conhecimento e prática dos enfermeiros

Objetivo: Analisar o conhecimento e prática dos Enfermeiros (as) sobre a estratégia AIDPI e sua contribuição para redução dos principais agravos à saúde infantil em menores de cinco anos em Imperatriz - MA. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, caracterizada como pesquisa bibliográfica, na forma de estudo de campo realizada com 40 enfermeiros que se enquadraram segundo os critérios de avaliação da pesquisa através do preenchimento de um questionário estruturado que contemplaram os dados sociodemográficos e específicos da estratégia AIDPI.

Incidence and jeopardize factors of knee injury in the case of male volleyball players in Ethiopia

Background: Volleyball is one of the most widely played sports in addition to football and basketball. International de Volley-Ball Federation (FIVB) represents about 800 million players in approximately in the world played volleyball. While a large body of research has been conducted regarding the nature and prevalence of volleyball injuries internationally, but not conducted in Ethiopia broadly.

Design and implementation of interoperability services within the serpolet system

In this paper, we propose an innovative concept of "Application Service Provider LMS (ASP LMS)" which promotes the opening and the interoperability of the learning management systems (LMS) and the sharing of learning services and resources. The goal of this opening is to make the interaction between systems easier, to facilitate the sharing of resources and services between systems. With the introduction of this economic model this system widens the market of the Open and Distance Learning (ODL).

Analytical study on virtual touch perspective by mixing 7d holographic projections with transducers

We are using light waves formed using transducers for the projection of 7D holograms. Using this we will be literally touching the 7D virtualization of light waves. By using the concept of ultrasonic transducers the combinations so formed combined with 7D hologram with respect to the angles associated with it will give the resultant touch feel.
