Shock wave therapy for the treatment of the patellar tendinopathy: a systematic review”,

Objective: To identify the benefits of shock wave therapy in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy through a systematic review. Materials and methods: A systematic review study, carried out from October to November 2018. In this article, it was included randomized clinical trials with adults of both sexes who have patellar tendinopathy; studies in which the main treatment was based on shock wave therapy compared to no, minimal or other interventions and studies published in scientific journals between 2013 and 2018 without language restriction.

Cyanoacrylate vein glue and allergy - a real problem? our experiences over 78 month using cyanoacrylate vein glue - treatment of 2176 truncal varicose veins in 1170 cases

Vein Glue and allergy - is there a significant risk? In a few specialist comments and articles by phlebologically active colleagues is repeatedly warned against the emergence of an allergy to the cyanoacrylate used in the vein glue. Reason enough for us to compare our own experience with the use of the vein adhesive with the worldwide specialist literature.

Toxicity of levodopa in parkinson disease therapy

Parkinson's disease is a universal progressive neurological disease, being a more common neurodegenerative disease in the population between 58 and 69 years old. It is constituted as a disease by the degeneration of the black base substance, where a dopamine is synthesized, associated to the presence of cytoplasmic molecules formed by the accumulation of proteins such as Lewy corpuscles. The choice of treatment depends on the functional deficit and response to the treatment already used.

Health education: practice of hygienization of the hands to the accompanyers in the maternity service

Introduction Healthcare-related infections are considered a public health problem worldwide, as they cause suffering for the patient and his / her family and raise morbidity and mortality rates, hospital stay time and treatment costs. Materials and methods: An exploratory-descriptive study, with a qualitative approach of the type of experience report, performed at the Maternity service of a teaching hospital, in the period of March, 2018.

Spatial analysis of cervical cancer cases in elderly women in the Brazilian northeast of 2010 to 2013

Objective: To identify the spatial distribution of the number of cases of elderly women with cervical cancer in the city of. Using the variables income and schooling of the last census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Methods: The population was composed of 238 elderly women, using the Health Information System of the Hospital Registry of Cancer (SIS-RHC) of the Aldenora Bello Cancer Hospital.

Nurse's activities in the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries in hospitalized patients

Pressure Injury (LPP) is an injury caused by prolonged pressure or stress combined with friction and shear. This complication affects approximately 29.5% of hospitalized patients, with chronic, cardiac or neurological comorbidities. Objective was to synthesize the scientific production of nursing on the prevention of pressure injury to hospitalized patients. The present research is an integrative review of the literature indexed in two ScieLO databases and MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online).

Spatial characterization and interpolation of precipitation data

Being able to accurately predict point or a real precipitation data at unsampled locations or areas using measured precipitation data is important in the work of agriculturists, hydrologists, climatologists, engineers, and others. Precipitation phenomenon is a complicated process due to the spatial variability, uncertainty, and complexity of the meteorological processes underlying its formation.

Advantages of the application of hydraulic oil filtration on barbot pumps

Due to the need of companies to reduce expenses and increase productivity, the study is based on analyzing the effectiveness of the use of filter pumps to improve the useful life of parts, components and hydraulic fluids of application in industrial slip pumps. Samples of the hydraulic oil used in the process were collected, studied and analyzed in order to demonstrate the cost benefit of the application of filter pumps.

Microcosm to macrocosm calculated with one equation, (from the variable size of elementary particles to the observation of our galaxy)

It is always speculated about the expanding of the universe because of the observable red shift. On the other hand no paper deals with the missing blue shift as a consequence of the contracting Milky Way. What is explained with the law of the inverse square of the distance, that also applies to the charge radius of atomic nuclei in the microcosm. The shrinking proton has already been reported, in 2014 for the first time in Germany (1). The scientific community was at a loss, because until then elementary particles, such as the proton in size, were handled as a constant in nature.
