An automatic system for helping health consumers to understand medical texts
2015
Medical texts (reports, articles, etc.) are usually written by professionals (physicians, medical researchers, etc.) who use their own language and communication style. On the other hand, these texts are often read by health consumers (as in the case of medical reports) who do not have the same skills and vocabularies of the experts and can have difficulties in text comprehension. To help a health consumer in understanding a medical text, it would be desirable to have an automatic system that, given a text written with medical (technical) terms, translates them in simple or plain language and provides additional information with the same kind of language. We have designed such a system. It …
The Internet as an additional source of Information on rare illness. A Facebook support group for parents of children with craniosynostosis as a case…
2020
Introduction Empirical studies show that belonging to a support group contributes to patient and caretaker empowerment. They also show that support groups significantly help parents and caretakers of ill children reduce stress and better handle the illness. Aim The aim of the study is to expand knowledge of how social media support groups function, and what impact they have on members. Material and methods Data was collected using online surveys conducted on 54 respondents. Results and discussion In particular, the respondents experienced empowerment in terms of ‘exchanging information’ and ‘finding recognition.’ Thanks to the online group, they felt better prepared to meet with their docto…
Enteral Nutrition in Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Literature Review
2015
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is considered the gold standard treatment for periampullory carcinomas. This procedure presents 30%–40% of morbidity. Patients who have undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy often present perioperative malnutrition that is worse in the early postoperative days, affects the process of healing, the intestinal barrier function and the number of postoperative complications. Few studies focus on the relation between enteral nutrition (EN) and postoperative complications. Our aim was to perform a review, including only randomized controlled trial meta-analyses or well-designed studies, of evidence regarding the correlation between EN and main complications and outcomes af…
Periodontal diseases: is it possible to prevent them? A populational and individual approach
2021
Abstract Periodontal diseases are infectious inflammatory chronic diseases of a multifactorial nature. They are primarily caused by dysbiotic ecological changes in dental biofilm, which may be influenced by risk factors. The prevention of periodontal diseases may involve different strategies focused on reducing distal, intermediate, and proximal risk factors at both the population and individual levels. Effective prevention depends on interdisciplinary and common risk factor approaches. Also, patient-centered preventive models are more effective than professional-centered models in the management of periodontal diseases. Regular and periodic control of dental biofilm is an essential measure…
Fasting does not guarantee empty stomach in the intensive care unit: A prospective ultrasonographic evaluation (The NUTRIGUS study).
2021
BACKGROUND In the intensive care unit (ICU), a fasting period is usually respected to avoid gastric aspiration during airway management procedures. Since there are no recognised guidelines, intensive care physicians balance the aspiration risk with the negative consequences of underfeeding. Our objective was to determine the impact of fasting on gastric emptying in critically ill patients by using gastric ultrasound. MATERIAL AND METHODS Among the 112 patients that met the inclusion criteria, 100 patients were analysed. Gastric ultrasonography was performed immediately before extubation. Patients with either 1/ an absence of visualised gastric content (qualitative evaluation) or 2/ a gastri…
Pensamiento crítico y su impacto en el desempeño del proyecto de mejora continua
2022
¿Cómo influye el pensamiento crítico (PC) en el desempeño del proyecto de mejora continua (MC), considerando mediación de las capacidades dinámicas (CDs) que subyacen en dicho proyecto? Guiados por tal interrogante general, la tesis cubre tres aspectos. El primero se centra en la conceptualización y operativización del PC en la organización, bajo un marco de MC, lo cual redunda en el diseño y validación psicométrica de un modelo de medida al respecto. El segundo presenta el mismo alcance que el primero, pero esta vez comprende el constructo CDs del proyecto de MC. El tercero se orienta al contraste empírico de la relación estructural entre PC, CDs y desempeño del proyecto, usando analítica/…

Qualitative Forschung in Deutsch als Fremdsprache
2009
Qualitative Forschung ist heute ein fester Bestandteil der aktualempirischen Sozial- und Erziehungswissenschaft. Mit ihrem Anspruch, die Sicht der Beforschten zur Grundlage von wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen werden zu lassen, stellt sie derzeit in der Fremdsprachenerwerbsforschung den favorisierten Forschungsansatz dar. Im vorliegenden Band werden schwerpunktmäßig empirische Forschungsprojekte vorgestellt, aber auch methodologische Fragestellungen auf theoretischer Ebene diskutiert und konkrete Verfahren zur Datenerhebung, -aufbereitung und -analyse erörtert. Die Beiträge sind das Ergebnis eines fachwissenschaftlichen Austauschs, der im Rahmen der 3. Tagung der Deutschen Sprachwissenscha…
