L’objectiu d’aquest estudi consisteix en saber quins coneixements posseeixen, quines actituds i quin ús fan els cuidadors informals de persones diagnosticades d’Alzheimer en el domicili, de les contencions mecàniques i farmacològiques. Aquest projecte es tracta d’un disseny exploratori, descriptiu i transversal. Per a realitzar-lo es prendrà com a mostra a cuidadors principals informals, que tinguin al seu càrrec persones diagnosticades d’Alzheimer que siguin usuàries de l’atenció primària dels serveis sanitaris públics, de la província de Barcelona. L’estudi integrarà dues fases: la primera consistirà en realitzar una prova pilot a un nombre reduït de persones que servirà per avaluar i perfeccionar l’eina de la recollida de dades (els instruments a emprar seran una enquesta d’elaboració pròpia i entrevistes) i la segona consistirà en efectuar la recollida de dades a partir de l’enquesta modificada i validada en la fase anterior. En la fase pilot es realitzarà l’anàlisi de les dades a través de la tècnica coneguda com <> i en la fase següent, s’utilitzarà el paquet estadístic SPSS versió 21.0.0.

El dolor post-operatori és un dels problemes més importants que segons la OMS afecta als pacients intervinguts quirúrgicament i el que més els preocupa. Any rere any hi ha un increment del nombre de pacients intervinguts per Cirurgia Major ambulatòria al nostre país de manera que ha de ser el mateix usuari i la família els que facilitin les cures als pacients al propi domicili. Aquest estudi planteja si introduir intervencions educatives al servei disminueix el dolor post-operatori dels usuaris Objectiu general: Dissenyar un programa d’informació que realitzarà infermeria dirigit als cuidadors i pacients del servei de CMA i que han de ser intervinguts de hèrnia engonal. Avaluar l’eficiència del mateix programa educatiu. Metodologia: l’àmbit d’estudi d’aquest treball serà les unitats de Cirurgia Major ambulatòria de qualsevol centre de Catalunya. Es realitzarà un estudi comparatiu quantitatiu entre dos grups independents integrants per 30 participants en cadascun d’ells (total de 60 participants). Grupo A: protocol habitual de la unitat Grup B: intervenció educativa dissenyada Els participants seran pacients majors d’edat, que compleixen els requisits per ser intervinguts per Cirurgia Major Ambulatòria de Hèrnia inguinal. El participant ha de fer-ho amb un familiar responsable de les seves cures. Es realitzaran 3 enquestes al pacient i 3 al familiar responsable de les cures, la primera a les 24 hores després de la intervenció, la segona a la setmana i l’última a les 2 setmanes. Limitacions de l’estudi: en cas de que el pacient que ha de formar part de l’estudi requereixi ingrés hospitalari per alguna complicació durant la cirurgia el pacient deixa de participar en l’estudi automàticament. En cas que el pacient o familiar no contestin al telèfon el dia i l’hora pactada prèviament també deixarà de formar part de la investigació. Per aquest motiu es tindran 10 pacients de reserva per si calgués reemplaçar el subjecte d’estudi.

Prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 virus like particle (VLP) vaccines have been shown, in large clinical trials, to be very immunogenic, well-tolerated and highly efficacious against genital disease caused by the vaccine HPV types. However these vaccines, at the present, protect against only two of the 15 oncogenic genital HPV types, they are expensive, delivered by intramuscular injection and require a cold chain. The challenges are to develop cheap, thermo-stable vaccines that can be delivered by non-injectable methods that provide long term (decades) protection at mucosal surfaces to most, if not all, oncogenic HPV types that is as good as the current VLP vaccines. Current approaches include L1 capsomers, L2 protein and peptides, delivery via recombinant L1 bacterial and viral vectors and large-scale VLP production in plants. Rational design and successful development of such vaccines will be based on an understanding of the immune response, and particularly the 'cross talk' between the innate and adaptive responses. This will be central in the development of adjuvants and vaccine formulations that induce the response to provide effective protection.

The influence of second phases (e.g., pyroxenes) on olivine grain size was studied by quantitative microfabric analyses of samples of the Hilti massif mantle shear zone (Semail ophiolite, Oman). The microstructures range from porphyroclastic tectonites to ultramylonites, from outside to the center of the shear zone. Starting at conditions of ridge-related flow, they formed under continuous cooling leading to progressive strain localization. The dependence of the average olivine grain size on the second-phase content can be split into a second-phase controlled and a dynamic recrystallization-controlled field. In the former, the olivine grain size is related to the ratio between the second-phase grain size and volume fraction (Zener parameter). In the latter, dynamic recrystallization manifested by a balance between grain growth and grain size reduction processes yields a stable olivine grain size. In both fields the average olivine and second-phase grain size decreases with decreasing temperature. Combining the microstructural information with deformation mechanism maps suggests that the porphyroclastic tectonites (similar to 1100 degrees C) and mylonites (similar to 800 degrees C) formed under the predominance of dislocation creep. Since olivine-rich layers are intercalated with layer parallel, polymineralic bands in the mylonites, nearly equiviscous conditions can be assumed. In the ultramylonites, diffusion creep represents the major deformation mechanism in the polymineralic layers. It is this switch in deformation mechanism from dislocation creep to diffusion creep that forces strain to localize in the fine-grained polymineralic domains at low temperatures (<similar to 700 degrees C), underlining the role of the second phases on strain localization in cooling mantle rocks.

Background: One third of hospitalized older-adults who developed a delirium are discharged prior to complete resolution of their symptoms. Others may develop symptoms shortly after their hospital discharge or an acute illness. Therefore, strategies for early detection and prevention of delirium at home must be created and implemented. Aims: The aim of the pilot study was two-fold. First, to develop and test the effectiveness of a nursing intervention to detect and prevent delirium among older- adults who were recently hospitalized or had an acute illness. Second, we assessed the feasibility and acceptability of this nursing intervention strategy with this specific population. Methods: A total of 114 patients age 65 and older were recruited in a home health service to participate between February and November 2012. Participants were randomized into an experimental group (n=56) or a control group (n=58). In addition to the control group which only receives standard home care, nursing interventions tailored to detect/prevent delirium were delivered to the experimental group at 5 time points following discharge (at 48 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days). Socio-demographic characteristics, body mass index, medications, comorbidities, delirium symptoms (Confusion Assessment Method), cognitive impairment (Mini- Mental State Examination) and functional status (Activities of Daily Living) were assessed at study entry (TT). Outcomes of delirium symptoms, cognitive impairment and functional status were assessed after one month (T2). Descriptive and bivariate methods were used to analyse the data. Results: The two groups were similar at baseline. At one month following discharge no statistical differences were observed between groups in terms of symptoms of delirium (p= 0.085), cognitive impairment (p= 0.151) and functional status (p= 0.235). However in the nursing intervention group, significant improvements in cognitive functioning (p= 0,005) and functional status (p= 0,000) as well as decreased delirium symptoms (p=0,003) were observed. The nursing intervention strategy was feasible and well received by the participants. Conclusion: Nursing intervention strategy to detect/prevent delirium appears to be effective but a larger clinical study is needed to confirm these preliminary findings. - Introduction : Un tiers des personnes âgées hospitalisées développent un état confusionnel aigu (ECA) et quittent l'hôpital sans que les symptômes ne soient résolus. D'autres peuvent développer des symptômes d'ECA à domicile après une hospitalisation ou une maladie aiguë. Pour ces raisons, des stratégies de détection et prévention précoces d'ECA doivent être développées, implantées et évaluées. But : Cette étude pilote avait pour but de développer et tester les effets d'une stratégie d'interventions infirmières pour détecter et prévenir l'ECA chez des personnes âgées à domicile après une hospitalisation ou une maladie récente. Dans un deuxième temps, la faisabilité et l'acceptabilité de l'implantation de cette stratégie auprès de cette population spécifique ainsi que de l'étude ont été évaluées. Méthode : Au total 114 personnes 65 ans) ont été recrutées entre février et novembre 2012. Les participants ont été randomisés, soit dans le groupe expérimental (GE, n=56), soit dans le groupe témoin (GT, n=58). En complément des soins usuels, une stratégie d'interventions de détection/prévention d'ECA a été dispensée au GE à 48 heures, 72 heures, 7 jours, 14 jours et 21 jours après le retour à domicile ou une maladie récente. Des données sociodémographiques et de santé (Indice de Masse Corporelle, relevé de la médication, comorbidités), la présence de symptômes d'ECA (Confusion Assessment Method), de troubles cognitifs (Mini évaluation de l'état mental) et de déficit fonctionnel (Activités de la vie quotidienne et instrumentales) ont été évalués à l'entrée de l'étude (T,). L'effet de la stratégie d'interventions a été mesuré sur le nombre de symptômes d'ECA, du déficit/état cognitif (Mini évaluation de l'état mental) et du déficit/état fonctionnel (Activités de la vie quotidienne) après un mois (T2). Des analyses descriptives et bivariées ont été effectuées. Résultats : Les deux groupes étaient équivalents au début de l'étude. Aucune différence significative n'a été retrouvée après un mois entre le GE et le GT par rapport au nombre de symptômes d'ECA (p= 0,085), au déficit cognitif (p= 0,151) et fonctionnel (p= 0,235). Toutefois, une amélioration significative a été observée dans le GE par rapport aux symptômes d'ECA (p= 0,003), aux déficits cognitifs (p= 0,005) et fonctionnels (p= 0,000) à un mois. La stratégie d'interventions s'avère faisable et a été bien acceptée par les participants. Conclusion : La stratégie d'interventions infirmières de détection/prévention d'ECA à domicile semble prometteuse, mais des études cliniques à large échelle sont nécessaires pour confirmer ces résultats préliminaires.

Head and neck cancer patients are at high risk for developing second primary tumors. This is known as field cancerization of the aero-digestive tract. In a previous study, we showed that patients with multiple primary tumors were more likely to have p53 mutations in histologically normal mucosae than patients presenting with an isolated tumor. Based on this observation, we postulated that p53 mutations in normal tissue samples of patients bearing a single primary tumor could have a clinical value as a biomarker for the risk of developing second primary tumors. Thirty-five patients presenting with a single primary tumor were followed-up for a median of 51 months (range 1 month to 10.9 years) after biopsies of histologically normal squamous cell mucosa had been analyzed for p53 mutations with a yeast functional assay at the time of the primary tumor. During this follow-up, recurrences and non-sterilization of the primary tumor, occurrence of lymph node metastases, and of second primary tumors were evaluated. Sixteen (45.7%) patients were found to have p53 mutations in their normal squamous cell mucosa, and 19 (54.3%) patients showed no mutation. No relationship was found between p53 mutations and the occurrence of evaluated events during follow-up. Notably, the rate of second primary tumors was not associated with p53 mutations in the normal squamous mucosa. The correlation between p53 mutations in histologically normal mucosae and the incidence of second primary tumors is generally low. The benefit of analyzing p53 mutations in samples of normal squamous cell mucosa in every patient with a primary tumor of the head and neck is doubtful.
