Old and new basal insulin formulations: understanding pharmacodynamics is still relevant in clinical practice.

2013

Long-acting insulin analogues have been developed to mimic the physiology of basal insulin secretion more closely than human insulin formulations (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn, NPH). However, the clinical evidence in favour of analogues is still controversial. Although their major benefit as compared with NPH is a reduction in the hypoglycaemia risk, some cost/effectiveness analyses have not been favourable to analogues, largely because of their higher price. Nevertheless, these new formulations have conquered the insulin market. Human insulin represents currently no more than 20% of market share. Despite (in fact because of) the widespread use of insulin analogues it remains critical to anal…

Nurses' sources of information to inform clinical practice : An integrative review to guide evidence-based practice

2022

BACKGROUND: Evidence-based practice in nursing is challenging and relies on the sources of information used by nurses to inform clinical practice. An integrative review from 2008 revealed that nurses more frequently relied on information from colleagues than information from high-level sources such as systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. AIMS: To describe the information sources used by registered nurses to inform their clinical practice. METHODS: An integrative review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines, based on empirical research studies published from January 2007 until June 2021. The included studies were appraised, following which the identi…

Global collaborative networks on meta-analyses of randomized trials published in high impact factor medical journals: a social network analysis

2014

Abstract Background Research collaboration contributes to the advancement of knowledge by exploiting the results of scientific efforts more efficiently, but the global patterns of collaboration on meta-analysis are unknown. The purpose of this research was to describe and characterize the global collaborative patterns in meta-analyses of randomized trials published in high impact factor medical journals over the past three decades. Methods This was a cross-sectional, social network analysis. We searched PubMed for relevant meta-analyses of randomized trials published up to December 2012. We selected meta-analyses (including at least randomized trials as primary evidence source) published in…

Evidence-based approach for continuous improvement of occupational health

2015

Introduction. It was recognized early on that an Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) approach could be applied to Public Health (PH), including the area of Occupational Health (OH). The aim of Evidence-Based Occupational Health (EBOH) is to ensure safety, health, and well-being in the workplace. Currently, high-quality research is necessary in order to provide arguments and scientific evidence upon which effective, efficient, and sustainable preventive measures and policies are to be developed in the workplace in Western countries. Occupational physicians need to integrate available scientific evidence and existing recommendations with a framework of national employment laws and regulations. Obje…

Congresos de la Asociación Española de Pediatría: debate a partir de su análisis bibliométrico

2004

Antecedentes: Los congresos son reuniones periódicas necesarias para divulgar y discutir los avances en los distintos campos de la medicina. Los indicadores bibliométricos son herramientas importantes utilizadas para conocer la calidad de las publicaciones científicas, pero este tipo de estudio es infrecuente en el análisis de las comunicaciones a congresos Material y métodos: Se ha realizado un estudio bibliométrico de todas las comunicaciones publicadas en los congresos de la Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP) durante 4 años, dividido en dos bienios (1996–1997 y 2000–2001) (n = 2.677). Los indicadores bibliométricos se han clasificado en cuantitativos (productividad), cualitativos (ac…
