Abstract:

The expectation of greater individual responsibility for health promotion practices and decision making in hospitals is dependent upon knowledgeable consumers. The heavy reliance on printed material for both gathering and disseminating information in hospitals has led to recommendations that literacy screening tests be considered to enhance the efficacy of patient teaching interventions for the significant number of adults with low literacy skills. A qualitative case study design was used to investigate the response of adults with low literacy skills to literacy screening. Data were collected

Abstract:

In this dissertation is proposed a methodology to identify patient's recovery patterns after cardiovascular surgery based on laboratory tests results. The main purpose is to enhance the understanding of the manifestations of postsurgical complications in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery. The analysis of patients' recovery process is based on the relationship between plasma calcium, ionized calcium and platelet count over time. Laboratory results from the James A.

Abstract:

The electric pulp test (EPT) has been shown to be a valuable tool in assessing pulp vitality. One of its drawbacks, however, is its high number of false positives. The purpose of this study was to determine if qualifying the type of sensation elicited by the test could lower the percentage of false positive responses. A retrospective chart review of an eleven-month period was conducted, examining all patients with necrotic teeth tested with the EPT. Of 189 teeth, when the patient responded to EPT at first sensation 23.3% of teeth were incorrectly identified as vital. When the patient was asked

Abstract:

Antibiotic resistance is an increasing global public health problem. Resistance is increasing sharply in gram-negative organisms, including Escherichia coli (E. coli), the main causative organism for community-acquired urinary tract infection (UTI). Antimicrobial stewardship strategies in primary care to help contain antibiotic resistance include supporting general practitioners (GPs) in deciding whether to prescribe an antibiotic for UTI and selecting the most appropriate antibiotic. In this thesis, I aim to describe the management of uncomplicated UTI in primary care and evaluate potential p

Seventy to eighty percent of the population of the Western world experiences low-back pain at one time or another. Pain can be produced as a worn disc becomes thin, narrowing the space between the vertebrae. Pieces of the damaged disc may also break off and cause irritation to the nerves signalling back pain.

Abstract:

Since the Institute of Medicine highlighted the devastating impact of medical errors in their seminal report, “To Err is Human” (2000), efforts have been underway to improve patient safety. A portion of medical errors are due to medication errors, and a large portion of these can be attributed to inadequate laboratory monitoring. In this thesis, I attempt to address this small but important corner of this patient safety endeavor. Why are patients not getting their laboratory monitoring tests? Do they fail to complete them or do doctors not order the tests in the first place? Which prescribers

Performance on the SPPT was measured simultaneously by the patient and the practitioner. The procedure was repeated one week later.

The issue of effortful patient performance has been an area of clinical interest in individuals with minor traumatic brain injury (mTBI).

As patients are presented with the opportunity for secondary gain, the issue of optimum performance on neuropsychological measures becomes salient.

Abstract:

Background: Platelets provide the initial haemostatic plug at sites of vascular injury. They also participate in pathological thrombosis that leads to myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. The outcome of an acute myocardial infarction depends not only on the formation and stability of an occlusive thrombus, but also on the efficacy of the endogenous thrombolytic process, which allows reperfusion of the infarct related artery and prevents recurrent ischaemic episodes. Various platelet function tests are available to measure the thrombogenic potential of an individual, b

Abstract:

Os transtornos alimentares (TA) são doenças psiquiátricas graves que apresentam quadro complexo e de mau prognóstico. Acometem principalmente adultos jovens que não raramente abandonam o tratamento. O objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar o perfil da não adesão do tratamento de pacientes com TA de um serviço especializado e investigar os fatores associados. Trata-se de estudo transversal de caráter descritivo exploratório com delineamento do tipo caso-controle e quali-quantitativo, cuja coleta de dados se deu em duas etapas. Na primeira, os prontuários de todos os pacientes atendidos pelo s

Abstract:

Cette étude a évalué les propriétés psychométriques d’un outil de dépistage du conflit décisionnel cliniquement significatif, le test SURE, auprès de patients présentant une infection aigüe des voies respiratoires et devant prendre une décision quant à la prise ou non d’antibiotiques. Au moyen d’un questionnaire auto-administré qui leur était fourni immédiatement après la consultation médicale, les 712 patients recrutés dans neuf unités de médecine familiale rattachées à l’Université Laval devaient répondre aux questions du test SURE et par la suite à celles de l’Échelle de Conflit Décisionnel

Full text

Abstract:

A balance testing methodology was developed, based on a posture control model which defines relative stability by the degree to which a transient postural perturbation would cause the centre-of-pressure on the feet to approach the limits of the base-of-support. To minimize anticipatory adaptations and to ensure subject safety, the balance test used a small-amplitude continuous random or pseudorandom perturbation. The data were used to identify an input-output model, which was then used to predict large-amplitude transient response. The test perturbation was an anterior-posterior acceleration o

Abstract:

Background: Globally, tuberculosis (TB) affects 9.4 million people every year, with an estimated 2 million deaths. Effective treatment of latent TB infection with isoniazid (INH) as a TB control strategy has been hampered by poor adherence to therapy. Research has shown that smoking is a risk factor for TB and that adherence to TB therapy may be lower among smoking individuals. Rapid tests are now available to detect smoking status as well as isoniazid treatment adherence in a clinic setting. Objective: The objective was to validate IsoScreen and SmokeScreen, two new point-of-care urine-based

Abstract:

It has been well-documented in the literature that there are many physical and psychological benefits to be derived from regular aerobic exercise. It has also been noted that adherence/compliance to aerobic exercise regimens tends to be quite low. Investigators have found that a number of factors tend to correlate with adherence, but it has been difficult thus far to determine a mechanism which underlies a tendency to adhere versus a tendency to drop-out. This study examined the problem of non-adherence from the perspective of Self-Efficacy Theory (Bandura, 1977). Subjects for this investigati

Full text

Abstract:

This study utilized the Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT) and a set of standard neuropsychological instruments to determine the underlying construct of the MSVT that accounts for effort in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients by comparing/contrasting mTBI with dementia and an analog simulation. The results indicate that a common underlying neurocognitive construct (memory) exists between mTBI and dementia patients, which may account for poor effort as measured by the MSVT. Other underlying factors emerged for both groups, though they did not point to a common construct. This finding
