The Effect of Simulated Leg-Length Discrepancy on the Dynamic Parameters of the Feet during Gait—Cross-Sectional Research
2021
Background: The effect of Leg-Length Discrepancy (LLD) on dynamic gait parameters has been extensively discussed. Podobarography is the study of foot-to-ground pressure distribution. It has been used to test plantar footprint deviations that could reveal pathology. Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of simulated LLD on dynamic gait parameters measured with a pressure platform in healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty-seven healthy subjects participated in observational cross-sectional research. A procedure was performed to capture the dynamic parameters of each participant under five different simulated LLD conditions. Support time, mean pressure, and peak pressure measur…
Psychometric evaluation of the Persian version of the diabetic foot self-care questionnaire in Iranian patients with diabetes
2021
AbstractBackgroundDiabetic foot self-care refers to a group of self-management behaviors that can reduce the incidence of foot ulcers and amputations. It is necessary to have a valid and reliable standard tool to measure foot self-care in diabetic patients. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Diabetic Foot Self-Care Questionnaire of the University of Malaga, Spain (DFSQ-UMA) in Iran.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 407 diabetic patients who were selected using a convenient sampling method. Construct validity was assessed by exploratory (with 207 patients) and confirmatory (with 200 patients) factor analyses. Internal con…
Análisis comparativo de las funciones de predicción del riesgo cardiovascular SCORE y Framingham y sus versiones calibradas, SCORE calibrada y REGIDO…
2009
Introducción: Las recomendaciones del ATPIII y las SSCC europeas en prevención primaria cardiovascular aconsejan para la estimación del riesgo individual las funciones de Framingham y SCORE respectivamente. Ambas disponen de versiones calibradas para la población española. Todas, excepto Framingham(ATPIII), han sido derivadas para aplicarlas en un rango de edad limitado. Por otra parte, ninguna de estas funciones predice el riesgo cardiovascular total, ya que SCORE y SCORE calibrada sólo estima el riesgo de muerte y Framingham(ATPIII) y REGICOR el riesgo coronario. Sin embargo todas las medidas preventivas van dirigidas a la prevención de la enfermedad cardiovascular globalmente y las funci…
Attitudes of Undergraduate Nursing Students towards Patient Safety: A Quasi-Experimental Study
2021
Improving nursing students’ attitudes towards patient safety is a current and relevant topic. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention based on critical incident and root cause analysis (RCA) techniques regarding attitudes towards patient safety in nursing students. A quasi-experimental before and after study was developed between January 2018 and December 2019 in a sample of 100 nursing students at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). The intervention was developed in two phases. Phase I was at university, where students applied the RCA technique in a real case. Phase II took place during clinical practice. Students used critical incidents to identify a risk sit…
Comparative study between nail retraining with gauze bandaging and the nail remodeling with acrylics as a conservative treatment for stage I and IIa …
2022
Objective: Onychocryptosis is one of the most prevalent onychopathies, being a frequent reason for consultation in podiatric clinical practice. Conservative treatments are the first therapeutic choice, with nail remodeling using clotrimazole gel emerging as an alternative, although its medium-term effectiveness is unknown. The objective of this study was therefore to compare the efficacy of the technique of nail retraining using gauze bandaging with that of nail remodeling for the conservative treatment of stage I and IIA onychocryptosis. Methods: An analytical, randomized clinical trial study was performed following a longitudinal and prospective design. A sample was selected of 20 subject…
Multidisciplinary intervention in the management of breathlessness in people with non-malignant chronic diseases in advanced situation
2018
Resumen El presente trabajo muestra una revisión crítica de un artículo en que se presentan los resultados de un ensayo clínico realizado en un hospital de Reino Unido para estudiar los resultados de una intervención con enfoque paliativo utilizada en el manejo de la disnea en pacientes con enfermedades crónicas en fases avanzadas. Tras el resumen del artículo, destacando los principales resultados obtenidos, se presenta la revisión crítica del artículo, en la que se ha intentado analizar tanto el diseño como la metodología utilizada en el ensayo clínico, como las implicaciones para la práctica de enfermería y especialmente en el ámbito de los cuidados paliativos. Abstract This work shows a…
Health habits in schoolchildren in urban and rural areas
2013
Introducción. En los primeros años de vida se produce la asimilación e interiorización de los hábitos de salud que van a condicionar la vida adulta, siendo fundamentales las características socioambientales para la adquisición de los mismos. Objetivos Nos planteamos conocer los hábitos de salud que presentan los escolares de dos zonas geográficas contrapuestas: la urbana y la rural. Metodología Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo con alumnos de 10 y 11 años de una zona urbana y de una rural, llevándose a cabo una prueba de comparación de dos proporciones de muestras independientes. Resultados. Se han recogido 104 encuestas (21.2% de ámbito rural) en las cuales se observa la existencia de…
Complications Associated with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) in People Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation …
2023
Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic generated the need to keep immunosuppressed patients away from hospital institutions for as long as possible. This in turn stimulated the implementation of a home hospitalization model for autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Purpose: To analyze whether there are significant differences in post-transplantation complications related to catheters observed in patients treated in the home-transplant care modality compared to patients treated in the hospital. Methodology: Observational, analytical, longitudinal, and retrospective study of cases and controls. A convenience sample was chosen, in which the cases comprised 20 patients inclu…
La asistencia y hospitalidad a pobres, enfermos y peregrinos en la Baja Edad Media en el Camino Real de Valencia a Zaragoza
2011
Los hospitales medievales han sido y son estudiados atendiendo a diversos fenómenos: epidemiológico, sanitario, político, social, económico, etc. Sin embargo, las funciones propias asistenciales desempeñadas en estas instituciones durante la Baja Edad Media no constituyen una fuerza documental como son las perspectivas ya citadas. Más dificultades encontramos para definir quienes prestaban esa asistencia, hombres, mujeres, laicos, religiosos, sanadores, médicos, físicos, sangradores, enfermeros/as, parteras, hospitaleros/as, voluntarios/as, etc., dado que los problemas se circunscriben principalmente a la ausencia de registros y de profesiones regladas adscritas a las tareas de curar y cuid…
Sex Differences in Frail Older Adults with Foot Pain in a Spanish Population: An Observational Study
2020
Frailty is a condition that can increase the risk of falls. In addition, foot pain can influence older adults and affect their frail condition. The main objective was to measure the frailty degree in older adults in a Spanish population with foot pain from moderate to severe. Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. A sample of people older than 60 years (n = 52), including 26 males and 26 females, were recruited, and frailty disability was measured using the 5-Frailty scale and the Edmonton Frailty scale (EFS).
