Surgical research and clinical routine in the new century.
2002
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has recentlydenounced the poor state of clinical research in Germany[2]. It is therefore worthwhile to contemplate the currentstate of surgical research with special focus on the futurepossibilities to combine research and clinical routine inuniversity hospitals.Current StateReading the daily newspaper one may get the impres-sion that German universities and clinical research in par-ticular are in a deep crisis, and that German professors areto be blamed for it. In medicine, additional insufficienciesof the system are obvious, with corruption cases broughtup against clinicians and conflicts of interest due to thefact that clinical professors in addition …
Walking Ability and All-Cause Mortality in Older Women
2010
In this study self-reported ability to walk 2 km and six-minute walking test (6MWT) performance were examined as predictors of all-cause mortality in 434 women, aged 63-76 years. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality (follow-up: 8 years). Predictors were self-reported difficulties in walking 2 km and 6-min walking distance tertiles of ≤495, 496-560 and ≥561 m, and no test result due to refusal by the physician to grant permission to perform the test or participant's inability or unwillingness to perform the test. During the follow-up, 39 participants died. Participants reporting minor (age- and body mass index-adjusted hazard ratio 2.53, 95% confidence interval 1.12-5.69) or m…
Mujer y juego online. Propuesta de tratamiento de un caso de adicción a videobingo
2019
Desde la legalización del juego online en España el trastorno de juego se ha incrementado notablemente, ya que ha aumentado la disponibilidad y accesibilidad de un tipo de juego que es, de por sí, más adictivo que el tradicional. Aunque las tasas de prevalencia son superiores en hombres que en mujeres, ellas no son ajenas a este problema, que también suele concurrir con otros problemas de índole emocional. El trabajo que presentamos es un estudio de caso de una mujer procedente de los servicios de salud mental, que padecía, además de adicción al juego, una importante sintomatología clínica. Se describe el protocolo de tratamiento de adicción al juego online desarrollado en la Unidad de Inve…

Study protocol: the Norwegian Triple-S Cohort Study - establishing a longitudinal health survey of children and adolescents with experiences of maltr…
2021
Abstract Background Child maltreatment is prevalent and associated with both short- and long-term health problems. Previous studies have established child maltreatment as a risk factor for a wide range of problems over the life course such as mental- and somatic health problems, self-harm, alcohol- and drug abuse and decreased work-life participation. Still, there are few large and well-conducted longitudinal studies focusing on describing prevalence and identifying risk factors and long-term consequences of child maltreatment. The purpose of the current study is to recruit a large number of children and adolescents exposed to maltreatment and follow them long-term. Methods/design The curre…
Effects of a school-based physical activity intervention on academic performance in 14-year old adolescents: a cluster randomized controlled trial – …
2021
Abstract Background School-based physical activity interventions evaluating the effect on academic performance usually includes children. We aimed to investigate the effect of a nine-month, school-based physical activity intervention titled School in Motion (ScIM) on academic performance in adolescents. Methods Thirty secondary schools in Norway were cluster-randomized into three groups: the Physically active learning (PAL) group (n = 10), the Don’t worry – Be Happy (DWBH) group (n = 10) or control (n = 10). Target dose in both intervention groups was 120 min/week of additional PA during school hours. Parental consent was obtained from 2084 adolescent students (76%). Standardized national t…
Training, management, and quality of nursing care of vascular access in adult patients: The INCATIV project
2021
Background:More than one billion of peripheral venous catheters are inserted into hospitalized patients every year. This study sought to identify the status of nursing care in vascular accesses in different hospitals and to evaluate the impact of a series of informative and formative interventions aimed at their care.Methods:Quasi-experimental, multicenter study. A total of 54 nursing professionals of 19 hospitals participated. The intervention consisted of informative talk and three training sessions related to the care and maintenance of vascular accesses and intravenous therapy in the hospital-admitted adult population. This was delivered in four years, with eight periodic cross-sectiona…
Somatosensory mismatch response in young and elderly adults
2014
Aging is associated with cognitive decline and alterations in early perceptual processes. Studies in the auditory and visual sensory modalities have shown that the mismatch negativity [or the mismatch response (MMR)], an event-related potential (ERP) elicited by a deviant stimulus in a background of homogenous events, diminishes with aging and cognitive decline. However, the effects of aging on the somatosensory MMR (sMMR) are not known. In the current study, we recorded ERPs to electrical pulses to different fingers of the left hand in a passive oddball experiment in young (22–36 years) and elderly (66– 95 years) adults engaged in a visual task. The MMR was found to deviants as compared to…

Influence of Psychological Factors on Pain and Disability in Anterior Knee Pain Patients
2011
AKP patients express chronic pain but also disability. However, the correlation between pain and disability is not complete and linear. Some patients with a lot of pain show mild disability while others with much less pain also show great disability. The disability is profoundly influenced by other emotional and cognitive factors that are associated with the perception of pain. Therefore, the clinical efforts do not have to be focused only on treating the pain as a feeling but on identifying and modifying these factors.
