Home therapy for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in cancer patients

2005

Outpatient treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has become a common practice in uncomplicated patients. Few data are still present in patients with comorbidity (such as cancer) or concomitant symptomatic pulmonary embolism. Cancer patients with DVT are often excluded from home treatment because they have a higher risk of both bleeding and recurrent DVT. We tested the feasibility and safety of the Home Treatment (HT) program for acute DVT a PE in cancer patients. Patients were treated as outpatients unless they required admission for other medical problems, were actively bleeding or had pain that requires parenteral narcotics. Outpatient treatment was with low molecular weight heparin (LM…

Autobiographical Memory Impairment in Adolescents in Out-of-Home Care.

2020

Childhood maltreatment is a major risk factor for emotional problems in adolescence and adulthood and has deleterious effects on cognitive functions such as working memory. A key aspect in the study of the cognitive and affective consequences of maltreatment is autobiographical memory, especially regarding the difficulty retrieving specific memories, known as overgeneral memory. In this study, autobiographical memory tests, working memory, and a depressive symptom assessment were administered to 48 adolescents in care with a history of maltreatment (22 abused and 26 neglected) without mental disorder, who had been removed from their family and were living in residential child care, and to …

Abstract Objective To analyze the effects of a home-based physical exercise program on quality of life, metabolic control, and anthropometric and biochemical parameters in people over 60 years of age with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Eighty-four Spanish patients aged over 60 years were finally randomized to participate in a home-based, combined physical exercise program (aerobic and anaerobic exercises) or to receive conventional treatment for diabetes. At 6 months, effects on quality of life (EuroQoL questionnaire), HbA1c, fasting glucose, hypoglycemic events, weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters were assessed.

Les savoirs enseignants en ÉPS : modes d’accès et intégration à la formation

2017

Le dossier thematique a trait a la problematique des savoirs des enseignants, laquelle sera abordee sous l'angle des recherches francophones, notamment celles issues des developpements actuels en didactique. Nous voulons partager et mettre au jour les connaissances sur cette problematique dans le domaine de l'Education physique et sportive (EPS), et ce, autant en ce qui concerne les modes d'acces, par la recherche, que les modes de formation aux savoirs et d'appropriation des savoirs par les enseignants et par les eleves. Soulignons, toutefois, qu'elle n'est pas exclusive a l'education physique et qu'elle s'inscrit dans un champ de recherches beaucoup plus large et prolifique qui s'est deve…

¿Cómo pueden afectar los valores faltantes la robustez de las estimaciones? Una aplicación práctica a partir de la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (E…

2018

Habitualmente, la literatura empírica en el campo de la economía aplicada basa sus estimaciones en bases de datos que sólo contienen las observaciones con información válida para todas las variables implicadas en el análisis. En la gran mayoría de los casos, esta práctica tiene como consecuencia una pérdida de información que, a su vez,puede originar dos problemas: una menor efectividad de la estimación y un incremento en la probabilidad de llegar a una mala especificación del modelo. El objetivo del trabajo es comprobar la importancia de la imputación de datos faltantes en la minimización de ambas problemáticas. Para ello se aplica la imputación múltiplecomo alternativa para obtener estima…

Contención del paciente agitado

2020

Puntos para una lectura rapida • El manejo de los pacientes agitados se basa en tres escalones, contencion verbal o desescalamiento verbal, contencion fisica y contencion farmacologica. • Hay que crear un espacio seguro tanto para el paciente como para los profesionales. • El antiguo paradigma de calmar al paciente es sustituido por el actual de ayudar al paciente a calmarse a si mismo. • La contencion fisica es una medida excepcional como ultimo recurso cuando las otras estrategias han fallado. Es una opcion terapeutica, no un castigo. Se informara al paciente de la medida. • El objetivo del tratamiento farmacologico es calmar o sedar ligeramente al paciente agitado y reducir el riesgo de …

Atención urgente a un paciente anciano que se encuentra inconsciente

2011

Recopilacion de datos Se trata de una persona de 79 anos que se ha caido en la calle. Esta inconsciente, y la llevan al servicio de urgencias de un hospital universitario. Esa manana, como casi todas, hay colapso en las puertas de urgencias. El residente de primer ano (R1) que la recibe, tras comprobar la normalidad de su glucemia digital y de su presion arterial (medida con esfigmomanometro automatico), decide no explorar en espera de que aparezca algun familiar y aporte informacion complementaria (no detecto la arritmia -facilmente comprobable por toma de pulso-, tampoco solicito analisis ni pruebas de imagen). El familiar se presenta 50 min despues e informa sobre el buen estado de salud…
