New frontiers in liver ultrasound: From mono to multi parametricity
2021
Modern liver ultrasonography (US) has become a "one-stop shop " able to provide not only anatomic and morphologic but also functional information about vascularity, stiffness and other various liver tissue properties. Modern US techniques allow a quantitative assessment of various liver diseases. US scanning is no more limited to the visualized plane, but three-dimensional, volumetric acquisition and consequent post-processing are also possible. Further, US scan can be consistently merged and visualized in real time with Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging examinations. Effective and safe microbubble-based contrast agents allow a real time, dynamic study of contrast kinetic f…
Role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in local complications of acute pancreatitis
2019
Acute pancreatitis (AP) represents a pancreas inflammation of sudden onset that can present different degrees of severity. AP is a frequent cause of acute abdomen and its complications are still a cause of death. Biliary calculosis and alcohol abuse are the most frequent cause of AP. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not necessary for the diagnosis of AP but they are fundamental tools for the identification of the cause, degree severity and AP complications. AP severity assessment is in fact one of the most important issue in disease management. Contrast-enhanced CT is preferred in the emergency setting and is considered the gold standard in patients with AP.…
Transcranial Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery for Brain Tumor Ablation: Are We Ready for This Challenging Treatment?
2018
The treatment of high-grade gliomas (HGGs) remains a challenge for modern therapy. The prognosis for these patients has been poor. The median patient survival after diagnosis has been ∼1 year with surgery and/or radiotherapy and temozolomide.1 The need for a histological diagnosis of tumor tissue in each case and the importance of decompression in symptomatic patients are well established, and extensive surgical resection has been shown to significantly prolong survival. Several factors play a role in the prognosis of patients with HGG, including age, performance status using the Karnofsky performance scale, and the extent of resection.2, 3 At present, the standard therapy for HHG consists …
Randomized Trial of General Strength and Conditioning versus Motor Control and Manual Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain on Physical and Self-Report O…

Exercise and spinal manipulative therapy are commonly used for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Australia. Reduction in pain intensity is a common outcome
Enhancing improvisational music therapy through the addition of resonance frequency breathing : Common findings of three single-case experimental stu…
2018
One core characteristic of active music therapy is the facilitation of emotional expression through the creation of music improvisations. In an attempt to further develop this approach, we created an enhanced form of integrative improvisational music therapy by including 10 minutes of resonance frequency breathing (RFB) at the beginning of the sessions. RFB is a type of slowbreathing known for its ability to reduce stress and support emotional regulation. This paper summarizes the common findings of three single-case experimental studies and introduces a provisional model to explain the observed effects of RFB. During the breathing itself, all three clients (two of them healthy and one diag…
Bacteriophage Adherence to Mucus Mediates Preventive Protection against Pathogenic Bacteria
2019
The mucosal surfaces of animals are habitat for microbes, including viruses. Bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—were shown to be able to bind to mucus. This may result in a symbiotic relationship in which phages find bacterial hosts to infect, protecting the mucus-producing animal from bacterial infections in the process. Here, we studied phage binding on mucus and the effect of mucin on phage-bacterium interactions. The significance of our research is in showing that phage adhesion to mucus results in preventive protection against bacterial infections, which will serve as basis for the development of prophylactic phage therapy approaches. Besides, we also reveal that exposure to m…
Bronhiālās astmas ārstēšanai izmantojamo zāļu aprite dažādās Latvijas reģionu aptiekās 2016. gadā
2017
Bronhiālā astma ir plaši izplatīta slimība, kas skar vairāk nekā 30 miljonu cilvēku. Latvijā ar astmu slimo 1% iedzīvotāju. Šī darba mērķis bija noskaidrot bronhiālās astmas ārstēšanā izmantojamo medikamentozo terapiju atšķirības dažādās Latvijas reģionu aptiekās, balstoties uz Pasaules Astmas iniciatīvas organizācijas (GINA) 2016.gada izstrādātajām vadlīnijām. Tika iegūti rezultāti, ka astmas kontrolēšanai paredzēto medikamentu izvēle visās piecās aptiekās atbilst GINA 2016. gada izstrādātajām vadlīnijām.. Priekšroka visās aptiekās tiek dota IGK kombinācijā arβ2 agonistu grupas medikamentiem. Vispieprasītākais medikaments ir īsas darbības inhalējamais β2 agonists – salbutamols. Apstrādājot…
Agresijas risks un tā novēršanas paņēmieni narkoloģijas pacientu aprūpē
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma – „Agresijas risks un tā novēršanas paņēmieni narkoloģijas pacientu aprūpē” Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka fakts, ka vardarbības pārvaldība ir svarīgākais pasākums, strādājot ar potenciāli vardarbīgiem pacientiem narkoloģijā. Pētījuma hipotēze: Agresīvas uzvedības būtiskākie riska faktori ir ārējie stimuli, un par efektīvākiem agresijas risku novēršanas paņēmieniem tiek uzskatīti medikamentozās terapijas paņēmieni. Pētījuma mērķis: Noskaidrot agresijas risku un tā novēršanas paņēmienus narkoloģijas pacientu aprūpē. Pētījuma uzdevumi: 1.analizēt zinātnisko literatūru par narkoloģijas pacientu aprūpi, agresiju, tās riskiem un to novēršanu; 2.analizēt D. Oremas māszinības teorij…
Artrīta farmakoterapija - aptaujas rezultāti un zāļu vielu aprite Kamēlijas aptiekā 2014. - 2016. gadā
2016
Mūsdienās strauji pieaug cilvēku skaits, kurus skāris artrīts. Slimības attīstību ietekmē liekais svars, izmaiņas locītavās, pārmērīgas fiziskās aktivitātes, smaguma celšana darbā, kā arī traumas. Lai novērstu sekas un izmaiņas locītavās un kaulu struktūrā, ir svarīgi laicīgi uzsākt atbilstošu ārstēšanu, mazināt locītavu iekaisumu, stiprināt un saglabāt locītavu funkcijas. Darba mērķis: ar anketēšanas palīdzību izvērtēt artrīta ārstēšanas medikamentus, kas vislabāk palīdz pacientiem, un kādas papildus terapijas metodes pacienti izmanto, lai uzlabotu veselības stāvokli, kā arī noskaidrot artrīta zāļu apriti Kamēlijas aptiekā laika posmā no 2014. – 2016. gadam.
Melodic structure and inner self in clinical improvisation
2016
This study investigates the analogies between the melodic evolution within clinical improvisation and the shifts in the core self, across the continuum of music therapy process. This investigation is facilitated by a hypothesis; that musical shifts in improvisation’s structure precede psychological shifts in improviser’s self during therapy. Melodic improvisations created within the Integrative Improvisational Music Therapy (IIMT) model (Erkkilä, 2016) are investigated as proposed in the Therapeutic Narrative Analysis (Aldridge & Aldridge, 2008): certain melodic episodes from significant improvisations are analyzed with the Repertory Grid Method (Kelly, 1995) and patterns of the musical dat…
