2013
Author's accepted version (post-print). Background: Nursing documentation is essential for facilitating the flow of information to guarantee continuity, quality and safety in care. High-quality nursing documentation is frequently lacking; the implementation of computerized decision support systems is expected to improve clinical practice and nursing documentation. Aim: The present study aimed at investigate the effects of a computerized decision support system and an educational program as intervention strategies for improved nursing documentation practice on pressure ulcers and malnutrition in nursing homes. Design, setting and participants: An intervention study with two intervention grou…
Impact of Oat-Based Products on Human Gastrointestinal Tract
2015
Abstract Oat is rich in valuable nutrients. In comparison to other cereals, oat contains more total proteins, carbohydrate, fat, non-starch fibre, as well as unique antioxidants (one of them - avenanthramides), vitamins, and minerals. One of the most often studied components of oats is β-glucan - a type of soluble dietary fibre located throughout the starch endosperm, but with highest concentration in the bran. Many studies have shown the beneficial health effects of oat β-glucan as a soluble dietary fibre. Until now, most of the studies on this nutrient have been conducted in the cardiovascular and diabetology field. This article aimed to review the literature on studies that investigated …
B lymphocyte intestinal homing in inflammatory bowel disease.
2011
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to be due to an abnormal interaction between the host immune system and commensal microflora. Within the intestinal immune system, B cells produce physiologically natural antibodies but pathologically atypical anti-neutrophil antibodies (xANCAs) are frequently observed in patients with IBD. The objective is to investigate the localisation of immunoglobulin-producing cells (IPCs) in samples of inflamed intestinal tissue taken from patients with IBD, and their possible relationship with clinical features. Methods The IPCs in small intestinal, colonic and rectal biopsy specimens of patients with IBD were analysed by means of immun…

2019
RESUMEN: Objetivo: Analizar el tipo de información aportada por las diferentes tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) disponibles para el análisis, gestión o evaluación de heridas crónicas y lesiones de origen neoplásico, así como su impacto en los cuidados de las mismas, en términos de valoración y resolución de las lesiones. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática usando las recomendaciones de la Cochrane Collaboration. Se utilizaron las bases de datos MEDLINE (a través de PubMed), Web Of Science y SCOPUS. La estrategia de búsqueda para …
Desarrollo de formulaciones de liberación controlada para enfermedades inflamatorias
2022
Las enfermedades inflamatorias con componente autoinmune de la piel y del tracto gastrointestinal, como son la psoriasis y la dermatitis atópica y la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, respectivamente, son enfermedades prevalentes que necesitan mejorar su tratamiento. La ciclosporina A es un fármaco inmunosupresor que ha demostrado ser efectivo para el tratamiento de enfermedades autoinmunes, pero también sus efectos adversos a nivel sistémico. En el caso de las enfermedades cutáneas, la administración por vía tópica de este fármaco aportaría grandes ventajas como la posibilidad de actuar a nivel local y evitar efectos sistémicos. Sin embargo, la ciclosporina A presenta un tamaño molecular…
COVID-19 Vaccination Willingness and Hesitancy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Analysis of Determinants in a National Survey of the Ita…
2021
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has not finished yet, and the most promising option towards its ending is widespread vaccination. Because patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), namely Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), often require immune-modifying treatment, which might increase the risk of opportunistic infection,1 their vaccination history for several infectious diseases is routinely checked, and when inadequate, vaccination is performed at diagnosis or ideally before immune suppressive treatment is started.1 However, IBD patients were not found to be at an increased risk of developing COVID-19 or of experiencing a more severe disease course.2
Adenosine receptor agonists for promotion of dermal wound healing
2008
Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that involves a well-coordinated, highly regulated series of events including inflammation, tissue formation, revascularization and tissue remodeling. However, this orderly sequence is impaired in certain pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, chronic glucocorticoid use, aging and malnutrition. Together with proper wound care, promotion of the healing process is the primary objective in the management of chronic poorly healing wounds. Recent studies have demonstrated that A(2A) adenosine receptor agonists promote wound healing in normal and diabetic animals and one such agonist, Sonedenoson, is currently …
Prevalence of ulcerative stomatitis in arbovirus infections in a Brazilian Northeast population
2020
Background Although there are no population-based studies that support an association, there are reports in the literature of mucocutaneous, vesiculobullous and ulcerated lesions in the oral mucosa in cases of arbovirus infection. The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of ulcerative stomatitis in individuals affected by arboviruses in a population of the municipality of Arcoverde, Pernambuco, Brazil. Material and Methods 1,003 people living in an area assigned to a Primary Health Care Unit were interviewed. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection, with questions about sociodemographic variables, residence conditions, general health information, as well as informa…
Anastomoses (Ileorectal; Colorectal)
1979
With disease processes that involve the large bowel but leave the rectum free (Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, neoplasms), a surgical procedure used for their treatment will result in an anastomosis that may be seen during rectoscopy. During the postoperative follow-up period, careful attention should be given to any recurrence, which in cases of Crohn’s disease is seen very early on rectoscopy.
Postoperative maintenance therapy for inflammatory bowel disease.
2006
. Curr Opin Gastroenterol. 2006 Jul;22(4):377-81. Postoperative maintenance therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. Cottone M, Orlando A, Modesto I. Department of General Medicine, Pneumology and Nutrition Clinic, Palermo University, Palermo, Italy. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review will highlight the knowledge gained from studies published in the year 2005 on maintenance treatment after surgery for inflammatory bowel diseases. RECENT FINDINGS: In Crohn's disease the role of smoking in increasing the risk of relapse and recurrence after surgery is confirmed. Ornidazole seems effective in reducing endoscopic recurrence and clinical relapse after surgery. Probiotics do not appear to be effective…
