Abstract:

Introdução. Medicamentos não licenciados e sem indicação são utilizados com grande frequência em pediatria por razões éticas e econômicas. A utilização destes medicamentos não constitui um preceito ilegal, mas pode oferecer risco aos pacientes, sendo responsabilidade do médico e do farmacêutico qualquer evento adverso ocasionado. Alguns estudos nesta população sugerem aumento do risco de reações adversas relacionadas ao uso de medicamentos fora das indicações licenciadas. Objetivo. Analisar a exposição a medicamentos não licenciados e sem indicação em neonatos admitidos em Unidade de Terapia I

Introdução: O uso de formas farmacêuticas inadequadas à pediatria, também conhecido como uso off-label, pode levar a uma terapia medicamentosa insegura. No ambiente hospitalar, em especial nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica, há alta prevalência de prescrições com medicamentos não apropriados para crianças, entre eles os antimicrobianos, devido à gravidade das infecções, o estado crítico dos pacientes internados, a maior realização de procedimentos invasivos e uma maior incidência de bactérias resistentes.

This thesis is a study into the nature of knowledge-intensive firm defined here as professional service firms providing tailored services to corporate clients and relying heavily on the problem solving capacity of their employees.

Abstract:

People often use substances to cope with intense emotions, but more research is needed in this area. The scale we used to measure affect intensity was the Affect Intensity Measure (AIM). The participants self-reported their substance use. Drawing from a sample of adults in substance use treatment (n=118), we used regression analysis to examine the relationship between affect intensity, drug use motivations, and polysubstance use. Having this information is crucial to understanding how emotional experiences can be related to substance use. By knowing this we can also alter treatment to be speci

Abstract:

Intensive Interaction (11) is an approach to communication which is frequently used in intellectual disability (ID) settings. Given its increasing use it is important to understand the current field of research that exists for the approach. Similarly, as II is a two-way approach it is vital to understand the impact on carers and their experiences as this may influence the way they support people with ID. The systematic review looked at the quantitative and qualitative research into 11. Nineteen studies into the use of II with clinical populations and 7 studies into practitioners' use of II and

Abstract:

Rapidly increasing population densities in Malawi have put a huge strain on the existing agricultural land and the surrounding woodland. Smallholder agriculture is the dominant economic activity of Malawi’s rural population and many farmers have been forced to cultivate marginal lands with less fertile soils, making conditions much more difficult to grow crops. Natural woodland is under increasing pressure from the opening of new lands for cultivation and the increased demand for firewood, timber and other woody resources, with rural households historically obtaining most of their complementar

Ongoing evaluation of current practice and incorporation of evidence based research into guidelines and protocols is a requirement for the provision of high quality, cost efficient care. Despite some literature describing observational data, midline catheters (MCs) are not an appropriate vascular access device for Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) patients due to insufficient high level evidence demonstrating safety and efficacy. In addition, national guidelines for MC use in neonatal and infant patients lacks sufficient information for safe and effective use of MCs. The results of this small

Abstract:

This research has explored in-depth how innovation and adaptation occur in a small knowledge-intensive consultancy. Scholars have not ignored these changes in consultancies but have tended to examine large consultancies. Innovation and adaptation in small consultancies is also important because these firms have a substantial economic impact and are exemplars of innovative knowledge-intensive firms. Given the differences between large and small firms it seems likely that the occurrence of innovation and adaptation will be different in small firms. Moreover, much of the scholarship concentrates

This thesis studies how individuals use digital media to manage connectivity and accomplish work across digital and physical spaces in modern organisations, ultimately conceptualising this new type of work as a new digital nomadic practice. Increased digitisation and the need for more flexible work styles have pressured organisations to adopt new digital media and to redesign their workplaces. Existing research provides some theoretical understanding of this phenomena, however it is scattered across multiple disciplines and lack a broader all-encompassing view of the concept.

Abstract:

In Brazilian livestock, and its diverse ways of production, the management of grazing animals is known as the lowest return on investment on land use opportunities. Nevertheless, among different types of milk production systems, it is noted that the use of pasture grazing is a common feature between them. Thus, to achieve profitability and maintain system sustainability, the identification of the most adequate and efficient pasture management practices, can maximize production per cow and production per unit area. The low efficiency of this method of production, also classifies the national li

A pediatric intensivist in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinic's (UIHC) Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) was concerned about antimicrobial use in the unit.

To address the intensivist's concern, the principal investigator (PI) conducted a retrospective study to determine the percentage of patients who received antimicrobial treatments, to determine the indications for antimicrobial use, and to identify antimicrobial agents used most frequently in the unit.

Critically ill patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) often require mechanical ventilation (MV).

A heat and moisture exchanger (HME) is commonly used for the humidification of MV patients in ICU. In contrast, a heated humidifier (HH) that is a more complicated device is used only for prolonged MV patients because of its higher cost and nurse workload. However, HME may increase the breathing workload of patients, thereby inflicting damage to their respiratory fun

Abstract:

Long-term outcomes for patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) are recognised to be of increasing importance. Published studies indicate that ICU survivors have significant physical impairment, impaired quality of life, and excess mortality during the post-ICU period. The period of excess mortality has been variously estimated as lasting from one to 16 years after ICU discharge. Remarkably little information about long-term mortality and healthcare resource use exists for critical care populations, and outcomes relative to a non-ICU control population are unknown. The aims of the stud

Abstract:

Introduction : Les blessures représentent la 5ème cause d’hospitalisation au Canada. En 2010, leur soins ont couté 16 milliards de dollars. Selon des études Américaines, l’utilisation des ressources en traumatologie n’est pas strictement dictée par l’état des patients. Toutefois, le manque d’outil de mesure et de surveillance de l’intensité d’utilisation des ressources a jusque là empêché le développement d’interventions visant à améliorer l’efficience des soins en traumatologie. Objectifs : Notre objectif général était de développer et valider un indicateur de l’intensité d’utilisation des re

Abstract:

Roads alter the ecological landscape and affect the function and composition of nearby soil chemistry and plant communities in an area of impact termed the “edge-effect zone”. While the 6.3 million kilometers of roads in the US cover only about 1% of the land, the edge effect zone around these roads has been estimated to occupy nearly 20% of the total land area in the US (Forman 2000). The objective of this study was to examine the spatial extent of transported materials and impacts on forest soil and vegetative communities immediately surrounding roadways based on road types classified
