Palliative sedation in advanced cancer patients followed at home: A retrospective analysis
2012
Abstract CONTEXT: Data regarding palliative sedation at home in dying patients are lacking. OBJECTIVES: To describe the frequency, indication, and modality of palliative sedation (PS) in patients followed at home. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of home care cancer patients was performed. Patients who received PS before dying were selected and information about epidemiologic characteristics, indications, duration, drugs, and outcomes was collected. RESULTS: Of 370 medical charts of patients who died at home, 49 patients received PS before dying. PS was proposed by the team, relatives, or both in 63.3%, 4.1%, and 32.6% of cases, respectively. Delirium alone or in combination with other sym…
Palliative sedation in patients with advanced cancer followed at home: A systematic review
2011
Abstract Context Patients with advanced cancer who are near the end of life may experience intolerable suffering refractory to targeted palliative therapies. Palliative sedation (PS) is considered to be an effective treatment modality for these refractory symptoms when aggressive efforts fail to provide relief. Objectives The aim of this study was to systematically review articles regarding PS performed at home in patients with intractable symptoms. Methods Literature databases searched included MedLine, PubMed, and EMBASE. The text words and MeSH/EMTREE terms "home care" and "sedation" were used for electronic database searches. Results Six articles met the inclusion criteria for research …
Datortomogrāfijas dakriocistogrāfijas atradne pacientiem ar epiforu
2016
Darba aktualitāte: Epifora kļūst ar vien biežāks simptoms sakarā ar vispārēju populācijas novecošanos. Viens no biežākajiem tās iemesliem ir asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcija, kas var būt primāri (PANDO) vai sekundāri iegūta (SANDO). Latvijā līdz šim nav veikts neviens pētījums, izmantojot datortomogrāfijas dakriocistogrāfiju, lai noskaidrotu asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcijas lokalizāciju un noteiktu riska faktoru ietekmi uz obstrukciju. Pētījuma mērķis: Noskaidrot un izvērtēt asaru drenāžas ceļu obstrukcijas lokalizāciju, noteikt iespējamo riska faktoru saistību ar obstrukciju. Materiāli un metodes: Retrospektīvā pētījumā tika analizēti 95 CT-DCG attēli, kas iegūti pacientiem ar epiforu. Tika…
"Le jeu est tellement un vice humain..." : le jeu et les joueurs dans les chroniques zoliennes
2016
Émile Zola’s journalistic production, such as chronicles, reportages, polemic texts, etc., was created during a few decades parallelly to his fictional writings. Its subject is often social leisure, including gambling, officially banned in France of the Second Empire but practiced secretly by the social elites and the middle class. Zola describes some places where clandestine gambling games are organized, as well as the gamblers’ behavior. Considering the entire Second Empire regime as a huge gambling house, the author underlines the role of horse racing and stock exchange operations as legał ways of wagering. Zolas particular sense of humor contributes to his chronicles’ documentary and an…
Touch, gender, and sexuality in Zola's La Curée
2022
This paper addresses the issues of gender and sexuality in Zola's La Curée from a sensory studies perspective, focusing specifically on touch. The novel's atmosphere of softness is rooted in the Second Empire's obsession for luxurious comfort as well as "mollitia", an ethical and aesthethical concept inherited from Latin culture.
Incorporation of zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8)-derived nanoporous carbons in methacrylate polymeric monoliths for capillary electrochromatog…
2017
A series of metal organic frameworks-derived nanoporous carbons originating from zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) crystals as precursors have been prepared via varying the preparation conditions. The ZIF-8-derived carbons were subsequently admixed in the methacrylate monomers containing polymerization mixtures and polymerized to obtain monolithic columns for capillary electrochromatography (CEC). The effect of particle size and content of the ZIF-8-derived carbon materials in the polymerization mixture on the performance of the hybrid monolithic columns was investigated in detail. The resulting composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. Using short time UV-ini…
Nanoparticle-Directed Metal–Organic Framework/Porous Organic Polymer Monolithic Supports for Flow-Based Applications
2017
A two-step nanoparticle-directed route for the preparation of macroporous polymer monoliths for which the pore surface is covered with a metal–organic framework (MOF) coating has been developed to facilitate the use of MOFs in flow-based applications. The flow-through monolithic matrix was prepared in a column format from a polymerization mixture containing ZnO-nanoparticles. These nanoparticles embedded in the precursor monolith were converted to MOF coatings via the dissolution–precipitation equilibrium after filling the pores of the monolith with a solution of the organic linker. Pore surface coverage with the microporous zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF-8 resulted in an increase in su…
Zola et Maupassant conteurs fantastiques : le genre en (r)évolution
2018
In “classical” gothic stories, following the patierns established by E. T. A. Hoffmann or E. A. Poe, death is the starting point of the storyline which is imagined in relation to a central extraordinary event, like the appearance of a ghost, a phantom or any other supernatural being. In the 19th century, the fascination with achievements of human mind is completed by the study of mental diseases. Hence, the central event of most of the gothic stories of this time is the imaginary appearance of a double, an invisible persecutor or any other manifestation of the ideas hidden in a sick brain. Zola and Maupassant have created a number of stories following this pattern, where death is no more a …
Un crime et son triple châtiment : "Naïs Micoulin" d'Émile Zola
2016
In this short story written by Zola in 1877, Nais Micoulin, a poor but pretty girl whose parents lease a Mediterranean property, becomes the lover of her landlord’s son, Frederic. She hates her severe father who intends to kill Frederic. Nais makes Micoulin perish in an accident she provokes, but happiness does not come, and the parricide is triply punished: not only she loses her lover and her beauty, but also she has to marry an ugly and disabled man. Much shorter than Zola’s novels but extremely rich in significance, the text proves the writer’s mastery o f regarding and describing the naturę and mankind.
Les chats de Monsieur Zola
2021
Emile Zola was known for his affection towards all species of animals. They were present in great quantity in his everyday life in his cottage in Médan, where he kept dogs, cats, cattle and fowl, as well as in his works where they were given a special place. Among all the animals, cats were particularly cherished by the writer. Ilie paper analyzes a few portraits of Zola’s feline protagonists as shown in a short story, The Cats’ Paradise, and in two novels: Zola’s first significant work, Therese Raquin, and The Joy of Living, the 12th volume of the Rougon-Macquart cycle.
