Abstract:

The infusion of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in the home setting requires a critical nursing assessment and interventions aimed at managing and preventing the escalation of adverse events. Some patients experience side effects that necessitate a rapid response by field nurses, requiring standing orders for nursing administration and the availability of essential medications to alleviate symptoms in the patient's home. The clinical practice issue was that the home health agency did not have a uniform clinical practice nursing guideline to assist field nurses in providing rapid responses f

To optimize care, the understanding of common clinical variables such as haematological responses to inflammation could be much improved.

Abstract:

Immobility is one of the factors associated with the accumulation of respiratory secretion in mechanically ventilated patients. Placing patients in a semi-recumbent position between 30° and 45° and frequent manual turning in every two hours are the standard ventilator nursing care practice adopted worldwide. However, the prevalence of pulmonary complications remains high. The use of continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT) to improve drainage of secretion within the lung and the lower airways was proposed and has been investigated in numerous studies.

Abstract:

Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint and health problem in Hong Kong, particularly among middle-aged individuals. LBP is the main cause of chronic disability which significantly affects the daily life activities of patients. Pain might result in repeated hospital admissions and subsequently increase the burden on health care providers in Hong Kong. LBP has an enormous effect on quality of life and therefore deserves research attention. Growing evidence shows that yoga may help reduce the level of chronic LBP in adult patients. However, no systematic review has been conducted to support

Abstract:

The retention of persons on an HIV programme has been a global challenge. The success of any strategy to optimize adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) depends on the intensive and effective adherence counselling and strategies. It is important to research whether persons receiving anti-retroviral therapy in public hospitals in Ghana are receiving the needed service that would optimize their adherence to the anti-retroviral therapy. Therefore, this study explored and described the experiences of healthcare professionals providing care, support and guidance to persons on ART at public hosp

Abstract:

Background: We aimed to update the 2010 evidence- and consensus-based national clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult patients. Results are published in 2 parts. Part 1 covers methods, the definition of patient groups, and diagnostics. This second publication focuses on treatment of acute episodes of cystitis and pyelonephritis as well as on prophylaxis of recurrent UTIs. Materials and Methods: An interdisciplinary group consisting of 17 representatives of 12 medical societies and a patient representative was formed. Systema

Abstract:

Objective: To explore currently accepted return-to-play tests and a jumps protocol in a single subject design following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Background: The subject sustained 2 ruptures of the ACL in the left knee in a 12-month period. Both events were noncontact injuries occurring on the landing phase of a jump. A physical exam and magnetic resonance imaging were performed for both injuries by multiple orthopedic surgeons in the United States (1st rupture) and in Brazil (1st & 2nd rupture) to diagnose the injury. Treatment: Following the initial injury the subject attend

Abstract:

This research was undertaken to study the impact of single and multicomponent knowledge translation interventions (KTIs) on barriers to the integration of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) into Clinical Decision Making (CDM) in the context of physical therapists (PTs) and find out which of the two KTIs was more effective. A literature review showed that research knowledge (e.g. CPG) in the field of PT (Physical Therapy) is not being integrated in to clinical practice (e.g. CDM), thus leading to a research-practice (R-P) gap in other words CPG-CDM gap. It is suggested in the literature that th

En 2010, l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) a publié de nouvelles recommandations pour le traitement contre le Vih/Sida dans le but d'améliorer la qualité des thérapies antirétrovirales (TARV) distribuées dans les pays en voie de développement (PED). Cependant, les coûts de plus en plus importants liés à l'incorporation des antirétroviraux (ARV) de nouvelle génération, associés à l'intensification de la protection des droits de la propriété intellectuelle (DPI), accentuent le déséquilibre entre les priorités d'expansion de la couverture des patients et les objectifs d'amélioration des t
