Pacienta aktivizēšana pēc gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšanas
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma '' Pacienta aktivizēšana pēc gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšanas''. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka ik gadu pieaug rindā stāvošo cilvēku skaits, kam nepieciešama gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšana. Šis augošais skaitlis parāda to, ka tēma ir aktuāla un cilvēku, kam tiks veikta gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšana, ir daudz. Darba mērķis: atklāt pacienta aktivizācijas veicinošos un traucējošos faktorus pēc gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšanas. Pētījuma jautājums: Kādi faktori sekmē un kādi faktori aizkavē pacienta aktivizāciju pēc gūžas locītavas endoprotezēšanas? Pētījuma metode: Kvalitatīvā pētījuma metode, pētījuma instruments - intervijas jautātumi. Pētījums tika veikts X slimnīcā…
Emotion regulation in patients with somatic symptom and related disorders: A systematic review
2019
BackgroundSomatic symptoms and related disorders (SSD) are prevalent phenomena in the health-care system. Disturbances in emotion regulation (ER) are commonly observed in patients suffering from SSD.ObjectivesThis review aimed to examine ER processes that characterize SSD by a systematic analysis of the available empirical studies.Data sourcesPsycINFO and PubMed databases for the articles published between January 1985 and June 2018.Search terms"emotion/al regulation" or "affect regulation" and various forms of SSD.Study eligibility criteriaEmpirical studies that a) assigned adolescent or adult patients suffering from SSD based on a clinical diagnosis, and b) examined the relationship betwe…
Anosognosia and Metacognition in Alzheimer's disease: Insights from Experimental Psychology
2015
International audience; While metacognition and anosognosia have long been studied as distinct concepts, more recently we have endeavored to construct a theoretical framework for exploring how metacognition can contribute to our understanding of anosognosia and vice versa. Following this approach, with a particular focus on Alzheimer's disease (AD), this chapter first gives an overview of the key experimental findings and issues on metacognition in AD patients: in particular, overconfidence and absolute awareness; the sensitivity approach; the fractionation of metacognition in AD; the neural substrates of metacognition in the Alzheimer brain; and metacognitive control in these patients. Sec…
Evaluation of a rapid antigen detection test (Panbio™ COVID‐19 Ag Rapid Test Device) as a point‐of‐care diagnostic tool for COVID‐19 in a pediatric e…
2021
Abstract We evaluated the Panbio™ COVID‐19 Ag Rapid Test Device as a point‐of‐care diagnostic tool for COVID‐19 in 357 patients at a pediatric emergency department. Thirty‐four patients tested positive by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, of which 24 were positive by the antigen assay. The sensitivity and specificity of the assay were 70.5% and 100%, respectively.
Orofacial features and medical profile of eight individuals with Kabuki syndrome
2019
Background To evaluate oral, craniofacial and systemic characteristics of eight patients with Kabuki syndrome (KS), aged between 3 and 16 years old. Material and Methods In this retrospective study, medical records of all patients were reviewed for information on family history, growth and development, medications in use, general systemic complications and oral and craniofacial characteristics. Results The medical alterations found included recurrent infections such as pneumonia and otitis media (n = 6), cardiovascular malformations (n = 4), kidney abnormalities (n = 2), epilepsy (n = 2) and visual deficiency (n = 2). The individuals exhibited dental caries (n = 5), agenesis (n = 5), delaye…
Precisión diagnóstica del termómetro de distrés en neoplasias hematológicas
2016
Objective: The present study extends the previous investigation about validity and diagnostic accuracy of the DT for detecting psychosocial distress among Spanish cancer patients. The Distress Thermometer (DT) is a common screening tool, but other methods –such as Impact Thermometer (IT)- have recently been proposed with the aim of improving its diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, we investigated the emotional symptomatology captured by the DT, and the diagnostic accuracy of both the DT alone and combined with the IT, using two possible combination methods. Methods: A sample of 81 adult patients with hematologic cancer completed the DT, the Colored Complaint Scale (CCS), the IT and the Brie…
LMA Supreme™ and Ambu® AuraGain™ in anesthetized adult patients: a prospective observational study
2017
BACKGROUND Second-generation laryngeal masks with gastric access are increasingly used in daily practice and expand the indications for laryngeal masks in the OR. Only limited data exist comparing different types of laryngeal masks. We investigated the second-generation laryngeal masks LMA Supreme™ and Ambu® AuraGain™ in a clinical setting. We hypothesized that the two devices would be comparable in terms of success rate and airway complications. METHODS After approval from the local ethics committee, data were collected in a prospective trial. Endpoints were success rate, time to insertion and airway morbidity. Anesthesiologists used either the Supreme (Teleflex Medical GmbH) or Gain (Ambu…
58. White matter abnormalities in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A diffusion tensor imaging study in adult patients

[Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome].
2014
We describe the psychomotor disadaptation syndrome and report the last findings on its physiopathology and therapeutic. This syndrome was first described by Pr Gaudet's team in 1986 and named "psychomotor regression syndrome". This name has been recently changed into "psychomotor disadaptation syndrome".The psychomotor disadaptation syndrome is a decompensation of postural function, gait and psychomotor automatisms due to the alteration of the posture and motor programming. That alteration is linked to subcortical-frontal lesions. Clinically, the psychomotor disadaptation syndrome is characterized by postural impairments (retro-propulsion or backward disequilibrium), non-specific gait disor…
Adaptation to Disease and Anxiety-Depressive Clinic in the Paediatric Patient with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
2020
Introduction: Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare, autosomal recessive disease of low prevalence in paediatrics. Studies in psychology have not analysed the role of family-psychological variables in rare diseases such as primary ciliary dyskinesia. Objectives: this study aims to analyse the presence of clinical anxiety-depressive and perception threat of disease in patients with dyskinesia and evaluate the adaptation to the disease. Material-Methods: All patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (9 to 18 years of age), attended in the Infantile Pneumology Unit of HCUV, from July 2015 to January 2019, who accepted to complete the Anxiety Depression (HADS) and Perception of Disease Threat (BI…
