No entanto, não existem conceitos nem critérios internacionalmente aceitos que definam ou identifiquem esses casos de near miss. O objetivo do estudo é fazer uma revisão dos marcadores que possam identificar casos de near miss neonatal, bem como predizer a mortalidade neonatal. Métodos: Foram realizadas buscas eletrônicas nas bases de dados Pubmed, Embase e Scielo, sem restrição de período ou língua. Para isso foi utilizado o termo "neonatal near miss" isolado ou em associação com termos relativos à morbidade e mortalidade neonatais e aos escores de gravidade neonatal. A primeira etapa da seleção foi baseada no título, a segunda no resumo e a terceira no artigo completo. A seleção dos estudos e a extração de seus dados foram realizadas de forma independente por dois pesquisadores. O tipo dos dados não permitiu a realização de metanálise. Resultados: Pelos critérios de inclusão e exclusão definidos, apenas 4 artigos foram selecionados. Prematuridade e asfixia perinatal foram utilizados como marcadores de near miss em todos os estudos. Observou-se que a razão de near miss neonatal foi entre 2.6 a 8 vezes maior que a de mortalidade neonatal. Conclusões: O desenvolvimento do conceito e critérios para o near miss neonatal parece ser uma ferramenta importante na avaliação dos cuidados prestados ao recém-nascido e o primeiro passo para se criar estratégias de manejo que contribuam na redução de mortalidade e de sequelas na vida futura dessas crianças / Abstract: Background: The concept of neonatal near miss has been proposed as a tool to assess the quality of care to neonates suffering any life-threatening condition. However, there are still no internationally accepted concepts or criteria to define or identify these cases of neonatal near miss. The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review on markers that are able to identify cases of neonatal near miss and to predict neonatal mortality. Methods: Electronic searches were performed in the databases of Pubmed, Embase and Scielo, with no restriction of time period or language. For that, the term "neonatal near miss" was used alone or in association with terms related to neonatal morbidity and mortality and to the scores of neonatal severity. The first step of selection was based on the titles of articles, the second on their abstracts and the third on the full article. Two researchers independently performed the study selection and data extraction. The characteristics of data did not allow for proceeding with a metanalysis. Results: Using the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, only four articles were selected. Preterm and perinatal asphyxia were used as markers of near miss in all of them. It was observed that the neonatal near miss ratio was between 2.6 to 8 times higher than the neonatal mortality. Conclusions: The development of concept and criteria for neonatal near miss neonatal seems to be an important tool for the assessment of health care provided to neonates and the first step to build management strategies to contribute for decreasing mortality and sequelae in the future life of these children / Mestrado / Saúde Materna e Perinatal / Mestra em Ciências da Saúde

Orientador: Wagner Luiz Lourenzani / Resumo: Muito tem sido divulgado sobre o potencial da tecnologia do blockchain, seus benefícios e seu impacto disruptivo em diversas áreas. Entretanto, no âmbito acadêmico, o desenvolvimento dessa temática é incipiente. Embora crescentes, os estudos científicos têm sido publicados sem que se possa estabelecer uma convergência teórica de suas bases de fundamentação, transpondo conceitos e autores. A maioria dos estudos analisados concentra-se no campo teórico e tem sua abordagem fundamentada em conceitos do campo de conhecimento da tecnologia da informação, sem uma abordagem universalista. Nesse contexto, essa pesquisa tem o objetivo de conduzir uma análise baseada na teoria fundamentada em dados da convergência teórica que fundamenta adoção do blockchain na gestão da cadeia de suprimentos. A metodologia esteve baseada em uma revisão sistemática de literatura e da adoção da teoria fundamentada em dados. A partir da integração de nichos de conhecimento foi possível estabelecer uma declaração universalista que converge as abordagens de adoção do blockchain na gestão da cadeia de suprimentos, que transpassa os moldes disciplinares e atinge o plano interdisciplinar, promovendo a abertura de novos campos para aprofundamento do conhecimento. Os resultados dessa pesquisa revelam que a tecnologia blockchain fortalece a performance, a confiança, a transparência e a prestação de contas na gestão da cadeia de suprimentos. Quando identificadas as condições de fragilidade ou incerteza no relaciona...

However, in the academic field, the development of this theme is incipient. Although increasingly, scientific studies have been published without being able to define a theoretical convergence of their foundations, transposing concepts and authors. Most of the studies analyzed focus on the theoretical domain and have their approach based on concepts of information technology knowledge, without a universalist approach. In this context, this research aims to conduct an analysis based on grounded theory, of the theoretical convergence that allows the adoption of blockchain in supply chain management. The methodology adopted considers a systematic literature review and grounded theory. From the integration of knowledge niches, it was possible to define a universalist declaration that converges as blockchain application approaches in the management of supply chains, which pass the disciplinary molds and reach the interdisciplinary plan, promoting the opening of new fields for the improvement of the knowledge. The results of this research reveal that blockchain technology strengthens performance, trust, transparency and accountability in supply chain management. When identified as conditions of fragility or uncertainty in the relationship of the parts of this chain, and these main social, organizational or technological factors, or the blockchain can be used as ...

My doctoral studies contribute toward situating the health of mothering women who have been forcibly displaced within the nursing discipline. Specifically, public health nursing processes used while working with and supporting mothering women who have been forcibly displaced were explored. I use the terms mothering women who have been forcibly displaced to convey and articulate the locations shaping this specific population of women. In doing so, I put emphasis on the women who have been impacted by forcible displacement and pushed into a marginalized state. This approach to terminology also conveys the multiple complexities experienced by these women which public health nurses have the opportunity to engage with. The following question guided this dissertation: How do public health nurses work with women who are mothering and managing the effects of their refugee status? This question was approached using two distinct methodologies. The first was a Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) qualitative systematic review in which I identified, critically appraised and synthesized current knowledge on nurses’ experiences of providing care to mothering women who have been forcibly displaced. Of note, the JBI review question was broadened to include nurses caring for women experiencing any form of precarious migrant status. This was due to the limited number of articles addressing the concept of nurses caring specifically for maternal refugee women. The second approach was a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) using intersectionality as an analytical tool. In this study I described the processes public health nurses used to establish trusting relationships with mothering refugee women. Findings within the JBI review and CGT study included nurses identifying inequities women faced as stemming from their precarious migrant status and thereby needing to flex care provision to meet women’s needs. The findings also demonstrated the need to examine uptake of trauma-informed principles within care with focus on how organizations are structurally supporting nursing in their practice. I conclude this dissertation with the Afterword Chapter which is a summary and synthesis of significant findings and nursing implications. / Graduate / 2022-07-27

The aim of this dissertation was to address several gaps in the existing literature focused on the association between levels and variability in blood pressure (BP) and cognitive functioning. Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), Chapter 1 synthesizes and critically analyzes the outcomes of research reporting the association between BP variability (BPV) and cognition. Fifty-five studies met eligibility criteria, including reports measuring short-term, mid-term, and long-term BPV. Despite substantial between-study heterogeneity in study characteristics, the majority of studies reported that higher systolic BPV is associated with adverse cognitive outcomes. Further, Chapter 1 identified several gaps in the existing literature. For instance, no research has investigated the association between BPV and short-term fluctuations in cognitive functioning, or the association between mid-term BPV and concurrent cognitive functioning. Building on Chapter 1, Chapter 2 used an intensive measurement design to investigate the extent to which mid-term variability in BP, recorded using home-based BP monitoring, is associated with levels and variability in cognitive functioning in a sample of community-living older adults (N=64; Mage=70.58, SD=3.5; 77% female) assessed twice daily over a two-week period. Partial correlation coefficients estimated the association between BPV and variability in several ambulatory cognitive assessments, accounting for the learning effect during the study protocol, while multi-level models (MLMs) estimated the association between BPV and concurrent cognitive functioning. In addition, MLMs examined the extent to which BP and cognitive functioning fluctuate within and between days at the intraindividual and interindividual levels. Findings suggest that more BPV may be associated with slower or more variable reaction time, while higher BP may be associated with worse performance on accuracy tasks. / Graduate / 2022-08-30

Introduction: The American Psychiatric Association included Internet gaming disorder (IGD) in the 5th Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and the World Health Organization included gaming disorder in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases. These recent updates suggest significant concern related to the harms of excessive gaming. Areas covered: This systematic review provides an updated summary of the scientific literature on treatments for IGD. Inclusion criteria were that studies: 1) evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for IGD or excessive gaming; 2) use an experimental design (i.e. multi-armed [randomized or nonrandomized] or pretest-posttest); 3) include at least 10 participants per group; and 4) include an outcome measure of IGD symptoms or gaming duration. The review identified 22 studies evaluating treatments for IGD: 8 evaluating medication, 7 evaluating cognitive behavioral psychotherapy, and 7 evaluating other interventions and psychosocial treatments. Expert opinion: Even with the recent uptick in publication of such clinical trials, methodological flaws prevent strong conclusions about the efficacy of any treatment for IGD. Additional well-designed clinical trials using common metrics for assessing IGD symptoms are needed to advance the field.

Introducción: Las cicatrices post-acné son frecuentes y ocasionan un impacto negativo en la salud mental y en la calidad de vida de las personas. Recientemente el uso del plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP) se ha propuesto como parte de su manejo. Objetivos: Sintetizar la evidencia primaria con respecto a la eficacia y la seguridad del PRP como tratamiento adyuvante de las cicatrices atróficas post-acné. Métodos: Llevamos a cabo una revisión sistemática y metaanálisis de ensayos clínicos controlados. Realizamos búsqueda primaria en PUBMED-MEDLINE, WEB OF SCIENCE, WEB OF SCIENCE-MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS y CENTRAL; así como, en los registros de ensayos clínicos de EE.UU., Europa y de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) hasta diciembre del 2019. También buscamos en repositorios de literatura gris. Para la evaluación del riesgo de sesgo utilizamos el instrumento de la Colaboración Cochrane. Calculamos riesgos relativos (RR) mediante modelos de efectos aleatorios con un intervalo de confianza (IC) de 95%. Resultados: De un total de 547 registros, incluimos 14 estudios (n=429). Respecto a la mejoría clínica, evidenciamos superioridad del PRP como terapia adyuvante en los estudios que utilizaron escalas por cuartiles (RR=1,79; IC95% 1,39–2,31; I2=21,7%; p<0,001) y en los que emplearon la escala cualitativa de Goodman y Barón (RR=4,34; IC95% 1,60–11,76; I2=29,1%; p<0,001). Asimismo, en la evaluación de la satisfacción del paciente observamos superioridad en el grupo asignado a PRP (RR=1,51; IC95% 1,19-1,92; I2=51,6%; p=0,001). En el análisis por subgrupo, el grupo de PRP con microagujas obtuvo un mayor tamaño del efecto en cuanto a mejoría clínica y satisfacción del paciente (RR=2,66; IC95% 1,72–4,11; I2=0,0%; p<0,001; RR=1,67; IC95% 1,09–2,54; I2=69,9%; p<0,05, respectivamente). Además, el grupo con asignación “split face” obtuvo un mayor tamaño del efecto en cuanto a satisfacción del paciente (RR=1,58; IC95% 1,11–2,24; I2=65,6%; p<0,05). En cuanto a la seguridad, no realizamos metaanálisis por la alta heterogeneidad clínica y metodológica en el reporte de los efectos adversos. Siete publicaciones concluyeron que la duración e intensidad del eritema, edema o dolor fue menor en el grupo asignado a PRP, mientras que cuatro investigaciones informaron que no existió diferencia significativa para ambos grupos. Conclusiones: La evidencia proveniente de estudios clínicos controlados sugiere que el uso de PRP como terapia adyuvante es más eficaz y seguro que el recibir monoterapia en el manejo de las cicatrices atróficas post-acné. Asimismo, la combinación de PRP con microagujas presenta mayor efecto que con otras combinaciones. La aparición, duración e intensidad de efectos adversos es igual o menor con el uso del PRP como terapia adyuvante. Son necesarios nuevos ensayos clínicos aleatorizados controlados, con mayor tamaño de muestra, con protocolos estandarizados de uso del PRP y con escalas uniformes de medición de desenlaces. / Background: Acne scars are frequent and result in impairment of mental health and quality of life among affected individuals. The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been recently proposed as part of acne scarring management. Objective: To synthesize the primary evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of PRP as an adjuvant treatment of atrophic acne scars. Methods: We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials. We performed a primary search on PUBMED-MEDLINE, WEB OF SCIENCE, WEB OF SCIENCE-MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL. Moreover, we searched clinical trial registries from the United States of America, Europe, and of the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as gray literature repositories until December 2019. We used the Cochrane tool for assessing risk of bias. We estimated relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using random-effects models. Results: From 547 registers, we included 14 clinical trials (n=429). The PRP group showed a significantly higher clinical improvement compared to the control group in the studies using quartile grading scales (RR=1.79; 95%CI 1.39–2.31; I2=21.7%; p<0.001) and in the studies using the qualitative scarring grading system of Goodman and Baron (RR=4.34; 95%CI 1.60-11.76; I2=29.1%; p<0.001). Furthermore, the patient satisfaction was higher in the PRP group compared to the control group (RR=1.52; 95%CI 1.20-1.93; I2=51.1%; p=0.001). In the subgroup analysis, the PRP group with microneedling obtained a larger effect size in terms of clinical improvement and patient satisfaction (RR=2.66; 95%CI 1.72-4.11; I2=0.0%; p<0.001; RR=1.67; 95%CI 1.09-2.54; I2=69.9%; p<0.05, respectively). In addition, the split-face group had a larger effect size in terms of patient satisfaction (RR=1.58, 95%CI 1.11-2.24; I2=65.6%; p<0.05). Regarding the safety of the PRP, we did not perform a meta-analysis due to the high clinical and methodological heterogeneity in the reporting of adverse effects. Seven publications concluded that the duration and intensity of erythema, edema, and pain was less in the PRP group, while four investigations reported no significant difference for both groups. Conclusions: Evidence from controlled clinical studies suggests that in the management of atrophic acne scars, the use of PRP as an adjuvant treatment is more effective and safer than receiving monotherapy. Also, the combination of PRP with micro-needles has more effect than other combinations. The occurrence, duration, and intensity of adverse effects are equal or less with the use of PRP as an adjuvant therapy compared to receiving monotherapy. There is a need for further randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes, standardized protocols for the use of PRP, and uniform outcome measurement scales. / Tesis

Objetivo: Sintetizar la evidencia primaria con respecto a la eficacia y seguridad de los estilbenos en el tratamiento de la sintomatología climatérica en las mujeres de edad mediana. Métodos: Llevamos a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura según las recomendaciones del Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Realizamos la búsqueda primaria en Pubmed-Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, WOS-Medline, LILACS, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SciELO, CENTRAL y en registros internacionales de ensayos clínicos, sobre la eficacia y seguridad de los estilbenos en sintomatología climatérica. Consultamos fuentes de literatura gris, hasta diciembre del 2018, sin restricción de idioma. Usamos la herramienta de la Colaboración Cochrane para la evaluación de riesgo de sesgo de los estudios incluidos. Resultados: Obtuvimos 2752 registros en la búsqueda primaria, a partir de los cuales seleccionamos cuatro ensayos clínicos controlados aleatorizados (ECAs) que reportaron desenlaces de eficacia y seguridad. Existe alta heterogeneidad entre los estudios en cuanto a la dosis, combinaciones con otros fitoestrógenos, duración de la suplementación, escalas de medición y reporte de desenlaces. En cuanto a la eficacia, un estudio reportó disminución significativa en todos los síntomas somáticos, en el grupo con resveratrol, con mayor reducción en el ítem de molestias musculares y articulares, donde solo el 16.7% de la población reportó estas molestias al final de la intervención, comparado a un 73.3% del brazo placebo (p<0.001). Por otro lado, un segundo estudio demostró mejoría significativa en el número (p=0.0077) e intensidad (p=0.018) de los episodios vasomotores en el grupo de la intervención. En contraparte, un tercer estudio mostró diferencias no significativas en el puntaje total de la subescala somática (7.7 ± 2.2; p ITT= 0.760) para el grupo de la intervención y (8.6 ± 2.2; p ITT= 0.760) para el grupo control. En relación a la eficacia de los estilbenos en sintomatología urogenital y psicológica, los resultados fueron contradictorios. En términos de seguridad, dos de los cuatro ECAs reportaron la ausencia de eventos adversos con la suplementación de resveratrol. Conclusión: La evidencia proveniente de los ECAs incluidos no es concluyente con respecto a la eficacia en la suplementación con estilbenos, particularmente con resveratrol, en el manejo de la sintomatología climatérica. Los ensayos clínicos reportaron la ausencia de eventos adversos con la suplementación de resveratrol, aunque este desenlace fue evaluado solo en la mitad de los estudios. Por ello, se requiere llevar a cabo futuros ensayos clínicos aleatorizados con un mejor diseño y mayor muestra, con el fin de alcanzar una conclusión definitiva sobre el uso de estilbenos. / Objective: To synthesize the evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of stilbenes to treat climacteric symptoms in middle-aged women. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We searched in Pubmed-Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, WOS-Medline, LILACS, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SciELO, CENTRAL and international registries of clinical trials, about the efficacy and safety of stilbenes in climacteric symptomatology. We consulted grey literature sources, until December 2018, without language restriction. We used the Cochrane Collaboration tool for risk of bias assessment of the included studies. Results: We obtained 2752 records in the primary search, from which we selected four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported efficacy and safety outcomes. We found that the included clinical trials were highly heterogeneous in terms of dose, combinations with other phytoestrogens, duration of supplementation, measurement scales, and outcome reporting. Regarding efficacy, one trial reported a significant decrease in all somatic symptoms in the resveratrol group, with the most significant reduction in muscular and joint discomfort, where only 16.7% of the population reported these symptoms at the end of the intervention, compared to 73.3% for the placebo arm (p<0.001). On the other hand, a second RCT showed significant improvement in the number (p=0.0077) and intensity (p=0.018) of vasomotor episodes in the intervention group. In contrast, a third trial showed non-significant differences in the somatic subscale total score, (7.7 ± 2.2; p ITT= 0.760) for the intervention group and (8.6 ± 2.2; p ITT= 0.760) for the control group. In terms of safety, two of four RCTs reported the absence of adverse events with resveratrol supplementation. Conclusion: Evidence from included RCTs is inconclusive regarding the efficacy of stilbene supplementation, particularly resveratrol, to manage climacteric symptomatology. Clinical trials reported the absence of adverse events with resveratrol supplementation, although this outcome was assessed in only half of the studies. Thus, future randomized clinical trials with a better design and larger sample are required to reach a definitive conclusion on stilbenes's use. / Tesis

Objective: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES) vs bare-metal stents (BMS) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Methods: We systematically searched 5 engines until May 2019 for cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Primary outcomes were major bleeding and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) including cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR) or stent thrombosis. Effects of inverse variance random meta-analyses were described with relative risks (RR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). We also stratified analyses by type (triple [TAT] vs dual [DAT]) and duration (short-vs long-term) of antithrombotic therapy. Results: Ten studies (3 RCTs; 7 cohorts) including 10,353 patients (DES: 59.6%) were identified. DES did not show higher risk of major bleeding than BMS (5.6% vs 6.9%, RR 1.07; 95%CI, 0.89–1.28, p = 0.47; I2 = 0%) or MACE (12% vs 13.6%; RR 0.96; 95%CI 0.81–1.13, p = 0.60; I2 = 44%). Although, DES almost decreased TVR risk (6.4% vs 8.4%, RR 0.78; 95%CI, 0.61–1.01, p = 0.06; I2 = 15%). Stratified analyses by type and duration of antithrombotic therapy showed no differences in major bleeding or MACE between both types of stents. In DES, long-term TAT showed higher major bleeding risk than long-term DAT (7.7% vs 4.7%, RR 1.48, 95%CI 1.08–2.03, p = 0.01; I2 = 12%). For both types of stents, MACE risk was similar between TAT and DAT. Conclusions: In patients with AF undergoing PCI, DES had similar rate of major bleeding and MACE than BMS. DAT seems to be a safer antithrombotic therapy compared with TAT. / Janssen Pharmaceuticals / Revisión por pares

Bakgrund: Vårdrelationen som etableras mellan patienten och specialistsjuksköterskan inom anestesi i det tidsbegränsade preoperativa mötet är en förutsättning för att specialist-sjuksköterskan ska kunna ge personcentrerad vård. Det har tidigare inte studerats hur vårdrelationen etableras utifrån ramverket Fundamentals of Care i den preoperativa kontexten. Syfte: Att beskriva hur vårdrelationen etableras i det tidsbegränsade preoperativa mötet mellan patienten och specialistsjuksköterskan inom anestesi utifrån Fundamentals of Care.  Metod: Litteraturstudie med systematisk ansats. Deduktiv innehållsanalys enligt Elo och Kyngäs. Resultat: Studiens resultat visar hur vårdrelationen kan etableras i det preoperativa mötet, beskrivet utifrån Fundamentals of Care, vilket inte gjorts tidigare. Resultatet visade på kunskap, erfarenheter, sinnen och förmågor som anestesisjuksköterskan behövde besitta för att etablera vårdrelationen. Det som kan lyftas fram var anestesisjuksköterskans speciella kommunikationsförmåga, mentala närvaro, metoder för att lugna patienten, olika sätt att visa fysisk närvaro samt hennes simultankapacitet för att etablera vårdrelationen preoperativt. Ramverket Fundamentals of Care gjorde det möjligt att överföra tidigare forskning för att beskriva etablerandet av vårdrelationen. Fortsatt fördjupning och forskning inom detta område skulle kunna ligga till grund för praktisk vägledning för specialistsjuksköterskan inom anestesi. Slutsats: Studien visar hur det är möjligt att etablera en vårdrelation i det tidsbegränsade preoperativa mötet mellan patienten och specialistsjuksköterskan inom anestesi, för att ge personcentrerad vård. Resultatet kan ses som en introduktion eller underlag för diskussion för nyexaminerade anestesisjuksköterskor om hur hon kan etablera en vårdrelation i det preoperativa mötet med patienten. / Background: The relationship established preoperatively between the patient and the nurse anesthetic specialist is a prerequisite for the nurse specialist to give person-centered care. The establishment of the caring relationship has not earlier been investigated using the Fundamentals of Care framework in the perioperative context. Aim: To describe the establishment of the relationship between the nurse anesthetic specialist and the patient within a limited period in the preoperative setting using Fundamentals of Care. Method: Literature review with a systematic approach. The collected data was analyzed with a deductive approach according to Elo and Kyngäs. Result: The result of the study shows how the establishment of the caring relationship in the preoperative setting, described from Fundamentals of Care, which have not been done before. The result brings forth knowledge, experiences, senses, and abilities that the nurse anesthetist needed to possess to establish the caring relationship. Skills worth mentioning are her specific communication skills, her mental attendance, methods of calming the patient, different ways of showing physical presence and her simultaneous capacity for establishing the perioperative relationship. The framework Fundamental of Care itself made it possible to transfer former research to describe the establishment of a caring relationship. Furthermore, in-depth research in this area could be the basis to practical guidance for the nurse anesthetist.  Conclusions: The study shows how it is possible to establish a caring relationship between the patient and the nurse anesthetist within the limited period in the preoperative setting in order to deliver person-centered care. The result can be an introduction or basis for discussion for the new graduate nurse anesthetist about the establishment of a caring relationship in the preoperative meeting with the patient.
