Abstract:

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD), a disorder marked by a severe disruption in developmental attachment, is most often diagnosed in youth who have received substandard or negligent care from their primary caregiver. Such youth have increased risk of behavioral and emotional issues as well as future relationship problems; they generally do not respond to traditional evidence-based practices of therapy. The present study examined the use of the biofield energy practice of Healing Touch (HT) as a viable therapeutic option for improved quality of life for youth diagnosed with RAD. A quantitative,

Abstract:

La peritonite batterica è la complicanza più temibile nei pazienti in dialisi peritoneale (PD). L'infezione da biofilm associata al catetere peritoneale è la principale causa di peritonite refrattaria nei pazienti in dialisi peritoneale. L' uso della lock therapy con sostanze ad attività antimicrobica è un opzione promettente per il trattamento delle infezioni dei cateteri peritoneali associati a biofilm. Il nostro progetto ha lo scopo di valutare il profilo microbiologico e gli esiti della peritonite batterica in pazienti in dialisi peritoneale di mantenimento presso l'Ospedale Universitario

Abstract:

O aparecimento de uma grande variedade de microrganismos patogênicos resistentes aos antimicrobianos tem resultado no aumento do índice de doenças e mortalidade provocadas por infecções que eram facilmente tratadas no passado. Muitas vezes essa resistência está relacionada à formação de biofilme pelos microrganismos, que produzem substâncias poliméricas extracelulares (EPS) dificultando a penetração de agentes antimicrobianos. A Terapia Fotodinâmica antimicrobiana (aPDT, do inglês antimicrobial photodynamic therapy) é uma alternativa promissora para combater infecções microbianas, principalmen
