EMPHASIZING MULTIPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION TO MEET THE ICU PATIENTS NUTRITION NEEDS
2015
Many studies have shown that the standard of the nutrition of ICU-patients influence the patient results, measured by ICU-LOS (length of stay), hospital-LOS and mortality. The energy deficit accumulating during the first days of the ICU stay may play an important role for the patient results. After implementation of a multi-professional ICU nutrition protocol, including a broadly teaching/information phase for both nurses and anesthesiologists, we conducted a retrospective study.
Intersecting vulnerabilities in professionals and patients in intensive care.
2017
International audience; In the context of healthcare delivery, the vulnerabilities of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are intricately linked with those experienced on a daily basis by caregivers in the ICU in a symbiotic relation, whereby patients who are suffering can in turn engender suffering in the caregivers. In the same way, caregivers who are suffering themselves may be a source of suffering for their patients. The vulnerabilities of both patients and caregivers in the ICU are simultaneously constituted through a process that is influenced on the one hand by the healthcare objectives of the ICU, and on the other hand, by the conformity of the patients who are managed in tha…
Different Conceptions of Burnout and Its Relationships with Job Strain and Emotional Intelligence
2021
Burnout is an emotional syndrome that involves a prolonged response to stress. Its study in the work environment is of interest, since it manifests itself through negative attitudes toward work and affects the emotional, attitudinal, and physical level of the person who suffers it. The most relevant instruments for measuring burnout are the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), most commonly used, and the Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM). Likewise, taking into account the emotional nature of the Burnout, it is related to Emotional Intelligence (EI), playing a very important role in the adaptive capacity of individuals in stressful situations. The aim of the present study is (1) to analyze t…
Medida del resultado de las intervenciones sanitarias en España: una aproximación mediante el análisis temporal y espacial de la mortalidad evitable …
2006
Fundamento: Muchos estudios proponen la mortalidad evitable (ME) como indicador para monitorizar los servicios de salud aunque su generalización está limitada por el gran número de listas de causas utilizadas. El objetivo es analizar la evolución temporal del período 1986-2001 y la distribución geográfica de la mortalidad evitable utilizando una lista de causas consensuada. Métodos: Se analiza la mortalidad evitable global (ME) y agrupada en causas ISAS (intervenciones de los servicios sanitarios) y causas IPSI (políticas intersectoriales). Se analiza la evolución temporal ajustando una recta de regresión de Poisson o un modelo de regresión de Joinpoint, según el caso, y se estima el porcen…
Aspects of phosphorus transfer from soils in Europe
2008
Imbalanced nutrient management has caused soil phosphorus (P) to become an environmental rather an agronomic problem in more economically developed countries. This subject has been the topic of numerous journal special issues, conferences, and reviews but we consider yet another review of this subject is necessary with the main target of providing a point of view on non-point transfer from soils and control strategies for an improved environmental management of P. This review considers the causes of the excessive P transfer from soil to surface water in Europe and the scientific knowledge necessary to develop control strategies. There has been an increasing trend towards the P-research inte…
Absence of Sex Differential Plasticity to Light Availability during Seed Maturation in Geranium sylvaticum
2015
Sex-differential plasticity (SDP) hypothesis suggests that since hermaphrodites gain fitness through both pollen and seed production they may have evolved a higher degree of plasticity in their reproductive strategy compared to females which achieve fitness only through seed production. SDP may explain the difference in seed production observed between sexes in gynodioecious species in response to resource (nutrients or water) availability. In harsh environments, hermaphrodites decrease seed production whereas females keep it relatively similar regardless of the environmental conditions. Light availability can be also a limiting resource and thus could theoretically affect differently femal…
Linnansalmen Haloset : sukutilan omaistajanvaihdokset perheyhteisön taitekohtina
2022
Halosen taiteilijasuvun talonpoikainen suurperhe on tuttu Suomen taidehistoriasta. Sukutila ja talollisen asema eivät kuitenkaan olleet heille itsestään selvä vuosisatainen jatkumo. Myös suurperhe oli enemmän ajoittainen välivaihe tilanomistajuudessa kuin pysyvä sukurakkauden ilmentymä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Halosen sukutilan omistajanvaihdoksia perheyhteisön taitekohtina. peerReviewed
LPS injection reprograms the expression and the 3′ UTR of a CAP gene by alternative polyadenylation and the formation of a GAIT element in Ciona inte…
2016
The diversification of cellular functions is one of the major characteristics of multicellular organisms which allow cells to modulate their gene expression, leading to the formation of transcripts and proteins with different functions and concentrations in response to different stimuli. CAP genes represent a widespread family of proteins belonging to the cysteine-rich secretory protein, antigen 5 and pathogenesis-related 1 superfamily which, it has been proposed, play key roles in the infection process and the modulation of immune responses in host animals. The ascidian Ciona intestinalis represents a group of proto-chordates with an exclusively innate immune system that has been widely st…
Immigrant status, gender, and school burnout in Finnish lower secondary school students : A longitudinal study
2017
The aim of this longitudinal study among 9223 students from grade 7 and grade 9 (age 13–14 and 15–16) was to assess whether immigrant status and gender are associated with the level and change (slope) in school burnout among lower secondary school students in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Ninety-seven percent of the variation in school burnout was attributable to individual factors. Both the intercept (2.3, p < 0.001) and slope (0.5, p < 0.001) of school burnout were statistically significant. The slope showed increasing school burnout from grades 7–9. School burnout increased more in girls than in boys. Initially apparent higher school burnout among students who had immigrated to …
Clinical characteristics of pancreatic and biliary tract cancers in Lynch syndrome : A retrospective analysis from the Finnish National Lynch Syndrom…
2023
IntroductionPatients with Lynch syndrome (LS) have an increased lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) and biliary tract cancer (BTC). These cancers have a notoriously pessimistic prognosis due to late diagnosis and limited therapeutic options. There are limited data based on small cohorts reviewing PC and BTC in LS patients.MethodsIn this retrospective study of the Lynch Syndrome Registry of Finland (LSRFi), records of genetically verified LS patients diagnosed with PC or BTC between 1982 and 2020 were analyzed.ResultsThirty-nine patients were included: tumor(s) were in the pancreas in 26 patients, in the biliary tract in 10, and in the ampulla of Vater in three. A pathogenic germline var…
