Riska faktori māsas darbā ar ilgtermiņa farmakoterapijas programmas pacientiem
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir „Riska faktori māsas darbā ar ilgtermiņa farmakoterapijas programmas pacientiem”. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot riska faktorus māsas darbā šīs programmas ietvaros. Pētījumā izmantota kvalitatīvā pētniecības metode. Respondenti ir 6 māsas, kuras stradā ilgtermiņa farmakoterapijas programmā. Darba pētniecības jautājums: Ar kādiem riska faktoriem saskaras māsas, strādājot ar ilgtermiņa farmakoterapijas programmas pacientiem? Pētījuma uzdevumi ir: analizēt zinātnisko literatūru, izstrādāt pētījuma instrumentu, veikt māsu intervēšanu, analizēt pētījumā iegūtos rezultātus un izstrādāt secinājumus. Pētniecības instruments – strukturēta intervija. Iegūtie rezultāti atspoguļo: m…
Enhancing the performance of HSDPA communication with multipoint transmission techniques
2015
The evolution of mobile phones, tablets and other mobile communication devices has led to a significant increase in the amount of data delivered over mobile networks. In order to satisfy the climbing data rate demands of customers, existing mobile broadband networks are being expanded with new features that allow ubiquitous and consistent networking experience. This research presents three multipoint transmission techniques for Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) based High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) communication protocol. Multiflow, High-Speed Single-Frequency Network (HS-SFN) and Multipoint-to-Point Single-Frequency Network (M2P-SFN) enable transmission of user-dedicat…

Ultrastructural causes of rupture of hand tendons in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A transmission and scanning electron microscopic study.
1993
To identify the cause of rupture of hand tendons in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we studied the underlying ultrastructural changes of the collagenous fibril systems. Samples of the flexor digitorum superficialis (n = 12) and the extensor digitorum communis (n = 20) were taken during tenosynovectomy. Tendons dissected at necropsy (n = 30) served as controls. Specimens were analysed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Interfibrillar dysplastic fibrils, "Luse bodies", and intracellular collagen were found in rheumatoid tissues. The diameters of collagen fibrils were significantly reduced compared with the control group (p0.01). The duration of the disease usually correlate…
Influence of sutures configuration on the strength of tendon-patch joints for rotator cuff tears treatment
2019
Abstract Purpose Massive rotator cuff tears are common in the aging population. The incidence of failed rotator cuff repairs is still quite high, especially in the treatment of full-thickness tears or revision repairs. In this context, natural and synthetic meshes can be used as augmentation scaffolds or as devices to close the gap between a retracted tendon and the bone. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the ultimate tensile strength of different tendon-patch joints in order to consider their use in the treatment of massive cuff tears. Materials and methods Porcine tendons and a synthetic low-density polypropylene mesh have been used. A preliminary study on the tensile strength of te…
Rescuing CFTR Protein Function: 1,3,4-oxadiazoles versus 1,2,4-oxadiazoles as readthrough inducing drugs
In Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease nonsense mutations in the CFTR gene cause the absence of the CFTR protein expression and a more severe form of the disease. About 10% of patient affected by CF show a nonsense mutation. A potential treatment of this alteration is to promote translational readthrough of premature termination codons (PTCs) by translational readthrough inducing drugs such as Ataluren (1). We reported a rationale for Ataluren promoted readthrough of PTCs by computational approach and GFP-reporter cell-based assay (2) and the observed enhancement of readthrough activity by some Ataluren derivatives (3, 4). In this context we aimed to compare the 1,2,4-oxadiazole core of Ataluren w…
Elektroniskās datu bāzes "Vilis Plūdons" izstrāde
2018
. Bibliotēkas nodarbojas ar sava novada kultūras mantojuma saglabāšanu, kā arī tā pieejamības nodrošināšanu, tāpēc tiek veidotas novadpētniecības datubāzes. Pētījuma mērķis ir izveidot elektroniskās datubāzes “Vilis Plūdons” modeli. To paredzēts izstrādāt Bauskas Centrālajai bibliotēkai. Pētījuma gaitā veikta piecu publisko bibliotēku novadpētniecības datubāzu un materiālu par Vili Plūdoni kontentanalīze, kā arī intervijas ar bibliotēkas darbiniekiem un V. Plūdoņa muzeja vadītāju. Pētījuma rezultātā apzināts krājums, ko iekļaut datubāzē un noskaidrots, ka nepieciešams veidot bibliogrāfisku datubāzi. Tika izstrādāts modelis, kurā aprakstīts, kā veidot bibliogrāfiskos ierakstus un kā padarīt …
“They're always in a hurry” : Older people's perceptions of access and recognition in health and social care services
2019
The article examines older people's perceptions of quality of life from the perspective of access and use of health and social care services. The data include focus group discussions with older people living alone. The data were analysed using thematic analysis focusing on the older people's collective views on health and social care services as supportive or restrictive factors for their quality of life. Two central themes were present in all the focus group discussions: the importance of accessing services and information regarding the services, and need for recognition within the services/by the professionals. Both themes were connected to the older people's desire to maintain autonomy i…
Four essentials for using digital technologies in career guidance
