Self-reported reflective functioning mediates the association between attachment insecurity and well-being among psychotherapists.
2020
Objective: Subjective well-being is a crucial variable for mental health practitioners. This study examines the influence of therapists’ attachment dimensions and self-reported reflective functioning on their perceived well-being. Further, it examines if reflective functioning mediates the association between attachment insecurity and well-being. Method: A total of 416 experienced psychotherapists were enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and completed self-report measures of attachment insecurity, reflective functioning, and well-being. We tested the hypothesized mediation model with path analysis that examined indirect effects. Results: Both attachment anxiety and avoidance dimensions …
Can adjunctive corticosteroid therapy improve patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery? A systematic review
2021
Third molar surgery is frequently associated with postoperative discomfort such as pain, edema and trismus. We aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in improving patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery.This systematic review assessed and searched PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, web of science, clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane central for controlled trials, up to May 2021. The primary outcome measures were patient-centered outcomes such as quality of life following the use of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in third molar removal. Only randomized controlled trials published in English language were included.A total of 355…
Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score is Associated With Risk of Recurrence in Bladder Cancer Patients After Radical Cystectomy
2015
Recently, many studies explored the role of inflammation parameters in the prognosis of urinary cancers, but the results were not consistent. The modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS), a systemic inflammation marker, is a prognostic marker in various types of cancers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the usefulness of the preoperative mGPS as predictor of recurrence-free (RFS), overall (OS), and cancer-specific (CSS) survivals in a large cohort of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) patients.A total of 1037 patients with UBC were included in this study with a median follow-up of 22 months (range 3-60 months). An mGPS = 0 was observed in 646 patients (62.3%), mGPS = 1 in 297 pa…
Improving the operation of an emergency department by using a simulation model
2007
FL Toni Ruohonen on tutkinut väitöskirjassaan monia suomalaisia koskettavaa ongelmaa: terveydenhuollon päivystysjärjestelmän tehottomuutta. Tietokonesimulointia apuna käyttäen Ruohonen kehitti päivystyspoliklinikan uuden toimintamallin, jolla päivystykseen tulevan potilaan hoitoprosessia voidaan nopeuttaa jopa 40 %. – Terveydenhuollon yksiköt ovat hyvin monimutkaisia kokonaisuuksia, ja niillä on paljon satunnaisia piirteitä. Uusien teoreettisten ratkaisumallien kehittäminen ongelmiin on ollut melko helppoa, mutta niiden toimivuus on voitu osoittaa vasta käytännön kokeilun jälkeen, Ruohonen toteaa.Tutkimuksessa Ruohonen loi aluksi tietokoneella mallin oikeasta poliklinikasta sairaalan henkil…
On identification of bilingual lexical bundles for translation purposes : the case of an English-Polish comparable corpus of patient information leaf…
2018
Grounded in phraseology and corpus linguistics, this paper aims to explore the use of bilingual lexical bundles to improve the degree of naturalness and textual fit of translated texts. More specifically, this study attempts to identify lexical bundles, that is, recurrent sequences of 3–7 words with similar discursive functions in a purpose-designed comparable corpus of English and Polish patient information leaflets, with 100 text samples in each language. Because of cross-linguistic differences, we additionally apply a number of formal criteria in order to filter out the bundles in each subcorpus. The results show that bilingual lexical bundles with overlapping discourse functions in text…
ESSAI RANDOMISÉ POUR ÉVALUER L’EFFICACITÉ ET LA SÉCURITÉ DE TRAITEMENTS CHEZ DES PATIENTS AMBULATOIRES ATTEINTS DE COVID-19 AYANT DES FACTEURS DE RIS…
2021
Context. The Covid-19 pandemic is of unprecedented magnitude and has had major social and health consequences. Primary care professionals, mainly general practitioners, ensure the care of most patients with Covid-19. An early-stage treatment administered to patients with risk factors for developing a severe disease could reduce hospitalization and death rates. No treatment is currently validated in this indication. Objectives. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of experimental candidate agents delivered in outpatient settings to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death in at-risk patients with early-stage proven Covid-19 and no indication for hospital admission. Methods. Multicentric, o…
Psoriasis and Its Impact on In-Hospital Outcome in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Kidney Injury
2020
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. Methods: In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. Results: Am…

Lipīdu profila raksturojums un to atbilstība vadlīniju mērķiem koronārās sirds slimības pacientiem, kas stacionēti Latvijas Kardioloģijas centrā
2018
Ievads: Kardiovaskulārās slimības (KVS) mirstības ziņā joprojām ieņem pirmo vietu pasaulē. Latvijā 2014. gadā tās veidoja 64% no visiem nāves cēloņiem sievietēm un 49% no visiem nāves cēloņiem vīriešiem (OECD, 2017). Jo īpaši, zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīns (ZBLH) ir galvenais terapeitiskais mērķis, aizkavējot saslimšanu ar KVS. Nesen papildinātās dislipidēmijas ārstēšanas vadlīnijas nosaka ļoti augsta riska pacientiem ZBLH mērķa līmeni <1,8 mmol/L un sākotnējā ZBLH līmeņa pazemināšanu vismaz par 50%. Mērķis: Analizēt lipīdu mērķa līmeņu sasniegšanas biežumu – ZBLH <1,8 mmol/L un ne - ABLH <2,6 mmol/L, un analizēt lipīdus pazeminošo līdzekļu (LPL) lietošanu starp pacientiem ar ļoti a…
