Vad är känt om Zikavirusets spridning, dess kliniska bild, patogenes, morfologi, diagnostik samt behandling?Frejd, Rebecka January 2017 (has links)
Zikaviruset är ett virus som fått stor uppmärksamhet i framför allt Sydamerika från 2015 och framåt då allt fler fall uppmärksammats. Detta arbete har utförts som en litteraturstudie med mål att sammanfatta kunskapsläget kring Zikavirusets morfologi, spridning, historia, komplikationer, diagnostik samt rådande behandlingsmöjligheter. Som källor används information från Folkhälsomyndigheten, CDC, PAHO och WHO samt MeSH-sökningar via PubMed. Viruset tillhör familjen Flaviviridae. Liknande andra virus i samma grupp kan infektionen ge feber, makulopapulösa hudutslag, konjunktivit, ledvärk, huvudvärk och myalgi. Det beskrevs först redan på slutet av 1940-talet i Afrika och har sedan rapporterats ha spridit sig till Asien, Oceanien, Stilla havsöarna och nu senast med utbrott i Sydamerika. Virusinfektionen har blivit mycket omdiskuterad då allt mer bevis kunnat läggas fram för att den kan leda till Guillain-Barrés syndrom samt även utöva teratogena effekter med mikrocefali som följd. Man har kartlagt spridning framför allt via myggarten Aedes men bevis finns även för att sexuell spridning kan ske samt att sjukdomen förefaller även kunna spridas från mor till foster. Diagnostiken baseras på RT-PCR och serologiska tester. I nuläget finns ingen aktiv behandling. Sammanfattningsvis har Zikavirus spridit sig snabbt genom Syd- och latinamerika sista åren och visat sig utgöra ett hot mot folkhälsan i dessa områden varför ett framtagande av ett fungerande vaccin är önskvärt.

Previous issue date: 2007-07-27 / Motivated by urgent necessity to support the studies of strategies, controlling and combat to big fires, mainly in forest reserves, we develop a computational tool for assistance in this task. Our main goal in this work was to elaborate software, and to develop a first case study, that is fire simulation in the REBIO of the Lake Piratuba AP. We reached this goal in three stages: first, we created a logical and mathematical model about tree combustion dynamics of reactions and the thermodynamics; second, we implement a computational program in a professional language for becomes it accessible or portable; third, we carry through a test with actual images of satellite of the REBIO of the Piratuba Lake. We got fire images simulated in virtual forests that demonstrated a high degree of realism or similarity that it is observed in real images. We also applied this software in satellite images of REBIO. The results of the dynamic images demonstrate the expected qualitative effect, but the geometric delimitation of the reached areas is more evident with the precise fire extension visualization, in the map scale, and its consequences, allowing that space and time, useful parameters to the fireman service, are measured in the simulation. / Motivados pela urgente necessidade de apoiar os estudos de estratégias, controle e combate a incêndios, principalmente em reservas florestais, desenvolvemos uma ferramenta computacional para auxiliar nessa tarefa. O nosso principal objetivo nesse trabalho foi elaborar um software, e realizar um primeiro estudo de caso, de simulação de incêndios na REBIO do Lago Piratuba AP. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em três etapas: primeiro, criamos um modelo lógico e matemático baseado na dinâmica de reações e na termodinâmica da combustão de uma árvore; segundo, implementamos um programa computacional em linguagem utilizada pelos profissionais da área de computação para torná-lo mais acessível ou portável; terceiro, realizamos um teste com imagens reais de satélite obtidas da REBIO do Lago Piratuba. Obtivemos imagens de incêndios simulados em florestas virtuais que demonstraram um alto grau de realismo ou semelhança com o que é observado em imagens reais. Também aplicamos o software em imagens reais da REBIO obtidas de satélite. Realizamos testes de propagação de incêndios nessas imagens sob a introdução de obstáculos naturais e artificiais para o fogo. Os resultados das imagens dinâmicas demonstram o efeito qualitativo esperado, mas a delimitação geométrica das áreas atingidas fica mais evidente com a observação precisa em escala no mapa, da extensão do fogo, e suas conseqüências, permitindo que parâmetros espaciais e temporais, úteis ao serviço de combate a incêndios, sejam medidos na simulação.

Estudo prospectivo e randomizado de profilaxia antimicrobiana para procedimentos cirúrgicos em estimulação cardíaca artificial / Prospective and randomized trial of antibiotic prophylaxis for cardiac stimulation surgical proceduresJúlio César de Oliveira 11 September 2007 (has links)
O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da administração prévia de antibiótico na incidência de complicações infecciosas em procedimentos de estimulação cardíaca artificial. Os pacientes foram selecionados em um estudo duplo-cego e randomizado (1:1). Grupo I Cefazolina (1,0g dose única) versus grupo II placebo. O comitê de segurança interrompeu o estudo após a inclusão de 649 pacientes devido à diferença entre os grupos (group I 314; grupo II 335 pacientes) em favor do uso de antibiótico: 2 infectados (0,63%) versus 11 infectados no grupo placebo (3,28%); p=0,016. Marcadores identificados por análise univariada: não uso de antibiótico; procedimentos de implantes (versus trocas); hematoma pós-operatório e duração do procedimento. O não uso de antibiótico e hematoma pós-operatório foram significantes em análise multivariada / The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the previous venous antibiotic administration in the incidence of infectious complications in cardiac stimulation surgical procedures. Patients were selected in a double blind, randomized (1:1) trial. Group I Cefazolin (1,0g one dose) versus group II placebo. The security committee interrupted the trial after inclusion of 649 patients due to differences between groups (group I 314; group II 335 patients) in favor of the antibiotic arm: 2 infected patients (0,63%) versus 11 infected patients in the placebo arm (3,28%); p=0,016. Markers identified by univariate analysis: non-use of preventive antibiotic; implant procedures (versus replacement); post-operative haematoma and procedure duration. The non-use of antibiotic and the post-operative haematoma were independent predictors of infection in multivariate analysis

"Cardiomiopatia hipertrófica: importância dos eventos arrítmicos em pacientes com risco de morte súbita" / Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: sudden cardiac death in high risk patients and the role of arrhythmiasPaulo de Tarso Jorge Medeiros 10 December 2004 (has links)
Vinte e seis pacientes com cardiomiopatia hipertrófica e fatores de risco de morte súbita, foram submetidos a implante de cardioversor-desfibrilador implantável de dupla-câmara, com seguimento médio de 19 meses. Observou-se quatro choques em arritmias letais, 4 pacientes apresentaram TVNS e 5 taquiarritmias supraventriculares. Ocorreu um óbito.Conclusões: Observamos: TPSV em 19,2%; TVNS em 15,4% e TVS/FV em 15,4%. Nenhuma variável clínica ou demográfica, discriminou o comportamento clínico ou funcional pós-implante de CDI; a recorrência de síncope pós implante de CDI, não se associou à presença de eventos arrítmicos e a hipertrofia maior que 30 mm se associou à choque precoce do CDI (p=0,003). / During 19 months of average follow-up period, we followed 26 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and high risk for sudden death, all treated by dual chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. 4 patients had received appropriate ICD discharge, 4 patients with NSVT and 5 supraventricular arrhythmias. One death had occurred. Conclusions: we observed: supraventricular arrhythmias in 19,2%; NSVT in 15,4% and VT/VF in 15,4%. The clinical or demographic outcomes did not suggest any clinical or functional results after ICD implantation; syncope may occur after ICD implantation and no arrhythmias recordered by intracardiac electrograms and left-ventricular-wall thickness greater than 30 mm is associated with early ICD shocks (p=0,003).

Efeito do tratamento clínico sobre os índices de risco cardiovascular em indivíduos infectados pelo HIV / Effect of clinical treatment on cardiovascular score risk indexes in patients with HIV infectionEnéas Martins de Oliveira Lima 22 August 2008 (has links)
Embora o tratamento anti-retroviral (HAART highly active antiretroviral therapy) tenha reduzido a morbi-mortalidade da AIDS, ele está associado a distúrbios metabólicos e aumento do perfil de risco cardiovascular. Os escores de risco cardiovascular são freqüentemente usados para direcionar os programas de intervenções na redução do risco cardiovascular. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o efeito de um programa de prevenção primária sobre o risco cardiovascular estimado por três diferentes escores de risco cardiovascular. Analisamos prospectivamente 87 pacientes HIV+ encaminhados ambulatório de cardiologia, com risco cardiovascular elevado. Foram aplicados três escores de risco cardiovascular: Framingham (FR), PROCAM (PR) e ATP III do NCEP (ATP-III) em 4 etapas: Inicial e trinta dias, três meses e seis meses após intervenção por meio de um programa de prevenção. Adotamos para este estudo o conceito de baixo risco os indivíduos que apresentaram valores dos escores abaixo de 10%, para as complicações cardiovasculares nos próximos 10 anos, e risco elevado se os valores dos escores fossem acima de 10%. Todos os pacientes receberam orientações para adoção de estilo de vida saudável (atividade física, combate ao tabagismo, uso de alimentos saudáveis) e terapêutica farmacológica, quando indicado (hipolipemiantes e anti-hipertensivos). A nossa população teve como média das idades 52 anos, 92% eram do sexo masculino, 39,1% tabagistas, 70,1% com hipertensão arterial sistêmica e 18,4% com diabetes mellitus. Todos os pacientes usaram HAART, e 56,3% faziam uso dos inibidores de protease, e nenhum paciente teve sua terapia trocada (switched). O perfil lipídico analisado na fase inicial apresentou os seguintes valores: triglicérides = 298,70 mg/dL ± 242,30 , colesterol total = 224,6 mg/dL ± 47,6 , LDL-colesterol = 129,50 mg/dL ± 44,50 , HDL-colesterol = 43,10 mg/dL ± 12,60. Seis meses após intervenção o perfil lipídico apresentou as seguintes alterações: triglicérides=206,20 mg/dL + 135.3 (p<0,05), colesterol total = 189.8 mg/dL + 38.0 (p<0,001), LDL-colesterol = 109.10 mg/dL + 30.30 (p<0,001), HDL-colesterol = 45.20 mg/dL + 13.30 (p=NS). Observamos uma redução da freqüência de indivíduos com risco cardiovascular elevado segundo o escore de FR, de 92,0% para 27,6% após a intervenção (p<0,0001), com escore ATP-III de 80,5% para 50,6% (p<0,0002) e com o escore PROCAM de 25,3% para 14,9%, (p=NS). O programa de intervenção proposto associou-se a uma redução do risco cardiovascular estimado. Todos os escores, com exceção do PROCAM mostraram-se úteis na prática clinica e para triagem e acompanhamento dos pacientes com risco cardiovascular elevado. Entretanto o escore de Framingham se mostrou como o mais sensível que os outros escores e detectou pequenas variações no risco cardiovascular em curto espaço de tempo, devendo este ser o escore de escolha para esta população / Although HAART therapy has reduced AIDS morbid-mortality, it is associated to metabolic disturbances and increased cardiac risk profile. It is well established in clinical cardiology that cardiac risk scores can predict cardiovascular complications with great accuracy and are useful to guide interventions toward risk reduction. We designed this study to analyze the effect of a primary prevention intervention program on the estimated cardiovascular risk and to compare the power of three different risk scores to detect risk reduction in a short time window. Methods: We prospectively evaluated 87 HIV + patients referred for cardiologic consultation for primary prevention and we assessed their cardiac risk applying 3 risk scores: Framingham (FR), PROCAM (PR) and National Cholesterol Education Program (ATP-III) in four steps: before and 30 days, 3 months and 6 months after intervention. For this study cardiovascular risk was classified as low if it was predicted less than 10% risk of cardiac complications for the next 10 years, or elevated, if it was higher than 10%. All patients were included in a cardiovascular prevention program and received non-pharmacological concealing (diet, physical activity prescription, smoking cessation advice) and pharmacological therapy, when appropriate (hypolipidemic and anti-hypertensive medications). Deviations in risk scores were compared using Fisher`s exact test at a p < .05 significance level. In our population, the mean age was 52 yrs, 92% were male, 39.1% were smokers, 70.1% had hypertension, 18.4% had diabetes. All patients were under HAART therapy, 56.3 % were receiving protease inhibitors, and no patient had his therapy switched. Lipid profile analysis before interventions revealed triglycerides = 298.70 mg/dL + 242.30, totalcholesterol= 224.6 mg/dL + 47.60, LDL-cholesterol = 129.50 mg/dL + 44.50, HDLcholesterol = 43.10 mg/dL + 12.60. Six months after intervention lipid profile change to: triglycerides = 206.20 mg/dL + 135.3 (p<.05), total-cholesterol = 189.8 mg/dL + 38.0 (p<.001), LDL-cholesterol = 109.10 mg/dL + 30.30 (p<.001), HDL-cholesterol = 45.20 mg/dL + 13.30 (p=NS). According to FR score, elevated cardiac risk before and 6 months after intervention was estimated in 92% x 27.6% of our patients, respectively (P = .0001). According to PROCAM score, it was 25.3% x 14.9%, respectively (P = NS). As for ATP-III, it was 80.5% x 50.6%, respectively (P= .0002). The proposed cardiovascular prevention program was associated with a reduction in the estimated cardiovascular risk in patients with HIV infection. All score risk indexes, except PROCAM are useful to the initial and follow-up evaluation of the cardiac risk in HIV infected patients, but the Framingham Risk score performance showed greater sensitivity than the others to detect small variations in a short time window, so it should be the score of choice

Continuous Finding Problems and Implementing Solutions in Health Care-Associated Infections : The Role of Infection PreventionistsIrgang dos Santos, Luís Fernando January 2020 (has links)
This licentiate thesis aims to understand how infection preventionists (IPs) continuously find problems and implement solutions related to health care-associated infections (HAIs) in hospital settings. HAIs are infections acquired by patients during the process of care and are among the main causes of deaths worldwide. Recently, practices for HAIs prevention and control have challenged IPs due to pandemics (e.g. COVID-19), antimicrobial resistance, population aging and limited resources in health care facilities. Such challenges demand actions to find, solve problems and implement solutions. However, IPs often fail to address these problems. The reasons stem from their inability to timely identify valuable problems and implement new solutions. Although the literature on infection prevention and control is well developed, previous studies have largely investigated how IPs implement preconceived practices to solve given problems as a single event, rather than on how to continuously find problems and implement solutions. This licentiate thesis comprises two empirical papers. Paper I investigates how infection prevention and control teams find problems with HAIs, and is based on a multiple case study of three infection prevention and control teams from one Swedish and two Brazilian hospitals. Paper II investigates how IPs continuously implement changes in infection prevention and control practices during pandemics, and is based on a qualitative descriptive study. The data in both papers were collected from 44 semi-structured interviews with health care professionals enrolled as IPs in Brazilian and Swedish hospitals. The key theories and literatures covered include Problem-Finding and Problem-Solving Perspective and Implementation research. This licentiate thesis contains three main contributions. First, it advances the Problem-Finding and Problem-Solving Perspective literature by providing empirical evidence on how to create valuable knowledge from ill-structured and complex problems. Second, this licentiate thesis suggests a distinction between HAI prevention and HAI control based on two modes of decision-making for finding valuable problems with HAIs. Third, the licentiate thesis describes and categorizes sets of practices that allow to continuously implement changes of infection prevention and control practices during pandemics.

Interaction between tin/flouride-containing solutions and artificially created dental pellicles on erosion prevetion in vitroAlgarni, Amnah Abdullah A. January 2013 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)School of dentistry / BACKGROUND: Fluoride and stannous ions have been reported to be relevant for dental erosion prevention. However, their interaction with the acquired dental pellicle (ADP), a clinically relevant erosion protective factor, is not well known and needs to be investigated. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the anti-erosive properties of fluoride-containing solutions and stannous solutions on enamel and dentin surfaces with a previously formed ADP. To characterize the protein profile of the ADP treated with the test solutions. METHODS: Phase I tested four solutions: SnCl2/NaF, NaF, SnCl2 and deionized water (DIW) (as negative control). Forty bovine enamel and dentin specimens 104 (4x4x2 mm3) were prepared and randomly distributed into 4 groups (n = 10). The specimens were incubated in clarified human saliva (CHS) for 24 h for pellicle formation and then they were subjected to a cycling procedure that included a 5-min erosive challenge (0.3-percent citric acid, pH 2.6); a 2-min treatment with the solution (between 1st, 3rd and 6th cycles); a 2-h immersion in CHS, and overnight immersion in CHS. Cycles were repeated 6x/day for 5 days. The outcome measure was surface loss (SL) using profilometry. Phase II: Thirty-two (32) bovine enamel specimens (882 mm3) (n = 8) were similarly prepared and incubated in saliva for 24 h and then treated with the solutions for 2 min followed by CHS immersion for 2 h. This cycle was repeated 3x for one day. The pellicles formed and treated with the test rinse solutions were collected, digested, and analyzed for specific protein content using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LCESI-MS/MS). RESULTS: Phase I: for enamel, SnCl2/NaF, SnCl2, NaF solutions provided 89 percent, 67 percent, and 42 percent SL reduction respectively compared with the control, while in dentin they provided 60 percent, 23 percent, and 36 percent, respectively, all significant at p < 0.05. Phase II: Seventy-two (72) common proteins were identified in all groups, 30 exclusive to DIW, 20 to SnCl2/NaF, 19 to NaF, and 13 to SnCl2. SnCl2/NaF increased the abundance of pellicle proteins than each one alone. CONCLUSION: SnCl2/NaF showed the best anti-erosive effect on both enamel and dentin. The findings suggest that the composition of acquired pellicle changes with different solutions, which may be related to their anti-erosive effect.

Förebyggande av hypotermi i introperativ vård : En strukturerad litteraturöversiktKapadia, Seth, Barklund, Rose Marie January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: Hypotermi definieras som en kärntemperatur under 36 grader och är en vanlig komplikation i samband med anestesi. Hypotermi vid kirurgi är förknippat med ökad mortalitet och kan leda till komplikationer som innebär lidande, förlänger tid för återhämtning och orsakar ökade vårdrelaterade kostnader. Komplikationer på grund av hypotermi är exempelvis försämrad sårläkning, ökad risk för blödning och ökad incidens av infektioner. För många patienter innebär det ett lidande att frysa eftersom att vara kall är förknippat med känslor av utsatthet, sårbarhet och att få sämre vård. Olika metoder och hjälpmedel för att förhindra att hypotermi uppstår under anestesi finns att tillgå. I Sverige saknas specifika riktlinjer på nationell nivå. Forskning har visat att följsamheten till lokala riktlinjer är låg. Patienten behöver hjälp med att bibehålla adekvat kroppstemperatur och här har anestesisjuksköterskan en viktig uppgift. Syfte: Syftet var att sammanställa tillgängliga interventioner för att förhindra oavsiktlig intraoperativ hypotermi. Metod: En strukturerad litteraturöversikt med narrativ analys genomfördes. Informationssökning gjordes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Resultat: Tre grupper av värmebevarande metoder identifierades: aktiv, passiv och invasiv uppvärmning. Den mest förekommande metoden var aktiv värmning med forced-air warming, som också verkade vara den mest effektiva metoden för att bibehålla normal kroppstemperatur och förhindra hypotermi. Skillnaderna i effektivitet mellan metoderna varierade. Ingen aktiv eller passiv metod förhindrade hypotermi helt. Slutsats: Trots att effektiva metoder för att förhindra oavsiktlig intraoperativ hypotermi finns och används är incidensen av hypotermi hög. Ytterligare forskning behövs för att undersöka orsaker till den höga incidensen. / Bakgrund: Hypotermi definieras som en kärntemperatur under 36 grader och är en vanlig komplikation i samband med anestesi. Hypotermi under operation är förknippad med ökad dödlighet och kan leda till komplikationer som skapar lidande, förlänger återhämtningstiden och orsakar ökade vårdrelaterade kostnader. Komplikationer på grund av hypotermi är till exempel försämrad sårläkning, ökad blödningsrisk och ökad förekomst av infektioner.

Forskning har visat att efterlevnaden av lokala riktlinjer är låg. Patienten behöver hjälp med att upprätthålla en tillräcklig kroppstemperatur, och här har anestesisjuksköterskan ett viktigt ansvar. Syfte: Målet var att sammanställa tillgängliga interventioner för att förhindra oavsiktlig intraoperativ hypotermi. Metod: En strukturerad litteraturstudie med narrativ analys genomfördes. En informationssökning gjordes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Resultat: Tre grupper av värmebevarande metoder identifierades: aktiv, passiv och invasiv uppvärmning. Den vanligaste metoden var aktiv uppvärmning med påtvingad luftuppvärmning, vilket också visade sig vara den mest effektiva metoden för att upprätthålla normal kroppstemperatur och förhindra hypotermi. Skillnaderna i effektivitet mellan metoderna varierade dock. Ingen aktiv eller passiv metod förhindrade helt hypotermi. Slutsats: Även om effektiva metoder för att förhindra oavsiktlig intraoperativ hypotermi finns och används, är förekomsten av hypotermi hög. Ytterligare forskning behövs för att undersöka orsakerna till den höga förekomsten. Sökord: Anestesi, kroppstemperatur, värmebevarande metoder, förebyggande och kontroll av hypotermi, oavsiktlig hypotermi, intraoperativ vård, kvantitativ, litteraturöversikt, perioperativ vård, kirurgi.
