IAGG/IAGG GARN International Survey of End-of-Life Care in Nursing Homes
2017
Item does not contain fulltext This article reports the findings of a survey on end-of-life (EOL) care in nursing homes of 18 long-term care experts across 15 countries. The experts were chosen as a convenience-based sample of known experts in each country. The survey was administered in 2016 and included both open-ended responses for defining hospice care, palliative care, and "end of life," and a series of questions related to the following areas-attitudes toward EOL care, current practice and EOL interventions, structure of care, and routine barriers. Overall experts strongly agreed that hospice and palliative care should be available in long-term care facilities and that both are define…
Pattern and characteristics of patients admitted to a hospice connected with an acute palliative care unit in a comprehensive cancer center
2022
Purpose: Information about inpatient hospice activity is limited. No data exist about the pattern and the characteristics of advanced cancer patients admitted to a hospice connected to an acute supportive/palliative care unit (ASPCU). Methods: Data of hospice admissions were retrieved from the database where all data were prospectively collected. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) and the use of analgesics and adjuvant were recorded at admission (T0), 1 week (T7), 2 weeks (T14), and the day before death (T-end). The use of palliative sedation and its indication, duration, and drugs end doses used were recorded. The number of hospice deaths, discharges, and hospice staying were rec…
Extraction Methods of Essential Oils From Herbs and Spices
2017
International audience; This chapter describes both conventional and non‐conventional extraction methods of essential oils (EOs) from herbs and spices. Although hydrodistillation, steam distillation and solvent extraction are the most applied methods, several non‐conventional technologies have been evaluated, especially in respect to EO recovery, and a great potential has been attributed to these non‐conventional methods. For instance, ultrasound, microwave, supercritical fluid, pulsed electric fields, ohmic‐heating and microwave (MW) extraction techniques applied alone or combined with other techniques are potent tools to obtain EOs in a 'green' way from natural resources such as aromatic …
Dzeramā ūdens ieguves veidi un ķīmiskā kvalitāte Medemciema teritorijā
2016
Dzeramā ūdens ieguves veidi un tā kvalitāte Latvijā nav pietiekoši labi izpētīta ārpus lielajām pilsētām, tādēļ trūkst datu par dzeramā ūdens atbilstību ES direktīvām un MK noteikumiem. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot dzeramā ūdens ieguves veidus un ķīmisko kvalitāti Medemciema teritorijā un noteikt to atbilstību Ministru Kabineta noteikumiem Nr. 235. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no trīs daļām. Pirmajā daļā veikts literatūras apskats par pazemes un dzeramo ūdeņu izcelsmi, veidošanās apstākļiem, piesārņojumu un to kvalitātes uzraudzīšanas metodēm. Otrajā daļā raksturota Medemciema teritorija, dzeramā ūdens ieguves iespējas un to iespējamā kvalitāte, tostarp arī izmantotās metodes un materiāli, kas tika…
