Design and validation of appearance and content of an oral health questionnaire for parents or caregivers of children with cerebral palsy

Role of NSCLC exosomes in osteoclast differentiation
2017
Bone metastases represent a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in patients suffering many types of cancer including breast, kidney, and lung. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed neoplasia. About 70% of NSCLC patients develop bone metastasis during the course of disease or at diagnosis. NSCLC frequently induces osteolytic metastases associated to bone lesions or destruction. NSCLC cells induce the release of factors that alter the regulatory networks existing between osteoblast and osteoclasts, modifying the normal balance of the receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). RANKL is essential during the differentiation stag…

The participants in this study were 39 patients plus 39 caregivers. A quantitative analysis revealed a significant improvement in patient's and caregiver's psychosocial factors f…

COPE-indeksillä mitatun omaishoitajan kuormittumisen tilan yhteys omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalveluiden määrään ja käytön useuteen
2013
On olemassa vahva yhteisymmärrys siitä, että ikääntyneen henkilön omaishoitaminen voi olla kuormittavaa. Omaishoitoa tuetaan erilaisilla sijaishoitopalveluilla. Niiden vaikutuksista omaishoitajien kuormittumiseen ei kuitenkaan olla yksimielisiä. Sijaishoitopalveluiden käyttömäärissä ja käytön useudessa on suuria vaihteluja omaishoidettavien välillä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää COPE-indeksiä (Carers of Older People in Europe, COPE index) apuna käyttäen, minkälainen on omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila Jämsä-Kuhmoinen SoTe-yhteistoiminta-alueella. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitetään, onko omaishoitajien kuormittumisen tila yhteydessä omaishoidettavan käyttämien sijaishoitopalv…
