Clinical indicators of ineffective airway clearance in children with congenital heart disease

To analyse the sensitivity and specificity of clinical indicators of ineffective airway clearance in children with congenital heart disease and to identify the indicators that have high predictive power. The precise establishment of nursing diagnoses has been found to be one of the factors contributing to higher quality of care and cost reduction in healthcare institutions. The use of indicators to diagnose ineffective airway clearance could improve care of children with congenital heart disease. Longitudinal study. Participants consisted of 45 children, <= 1 year of age, with congenital heart disease, who had not had definitive or palliative surgical correction. Six assessments were made at 2-day intervals. Each clinical indicator was defined based on previously established operational criteria. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values of each indicator were calculated based on a model for the longitudinal data. A nursing diagnosis of ineffective airway clearance was made in 31% of patients on the first assessment, rising to 71% on the last assessment, for a 40% increase. Sensitivity was highest for Changes in Respiratory Rates/Rhythms (0.99), followed by Adventitious Breath Sounds (0.97), Sputum Production (0.85) and Restlessness (0.53). Specificity was higher for Sputum Production (0.92), followed by Restlessness (0.73), Adventitious Breath Sounds (0.70) and Changes in Respiratory Rates/Rhythms (0.17). The best positive predictive values occurred for Sputum Production (0.93) and Adventitious Breath Sounds (0.80). Adventitious Breath Sounds followed by Sputum Production were the indicators that had the best overall sensitivity and specificity as well as the highest positive predictive values. The use of simple indicators in nursing diagnoses can improve identification of ineffective airway clearance in children with congenital heart disease, thus leading to early treatment of the problem and better care for these children.

Experimental poisoning by Baccharis megapotamica var. weirii in buffalo

Five male 6-8 month-old Murrah buffalo calves were orally dosed with the fresh aerial parts of Baccharis megapotamica var. weirii at doses of 1, 3, 4, 5 and 10g/kg body weight (bw) (~1-10mg macrocyclic trichothecenes/kg/bw). The B. megapotamica used for the experiment was harvested on a farm where a recent spontaneous outbreak of poisoning caused by such plant had occurred. Clinical signs appeared 4-20 hours and 4 buffaloes died 18-49 hours after the ingestion of the plant. Clinical signs were apathy, anorexia, and watery diarrhea, fever, colic, drooling, muscle tremors, restlessness, laborious breathing and ruminal atony, and dehydration. The most consistent gross findings were restricted to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract consisted of varying degrees of edema and reddening of the mucosa of the forestomach. Histopathological findings consisted of varying degrees of necrosis of the epithelial lining of the forestomach and of lymphocytes within lymphoid organs and aggregates. Fibrin thrombi were consistently found in sub-mucosal vessels of the forestomach and in the lumen of hepatic sinusoids. It is suggested that dehydration, septicemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation participate in the pathogenesis of the intoxication and play a role as a cause of death. A subsample of B. megapotamica var. weirii was frozen-dried and ground and analyzed using UHPLC (Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography) with high resolution Time of Flight mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry, it was shown that the plant material contained at least 51 different macrocyclic trichothecenes at a total level of 1.1-1.2mg/g. About 15-20% of the total trichothecenes contents was found to be monosaccharide conjugates, with two thirds of these being glucose conjugates and one third constituted by six aldopentose conjugates (probably xylose), which has never been reported in the literature.

Heidegger's tragic Greeks : the relation between presence and deinon

Martin Heidegger's interpretation of the ancients was born out of something like a crisis in the interpretation of the Greeks, which can be characterized as nothing other than the realization of the idea that the Greek philosophers put a serious question mark over existence. This idea, which had its germination in Prussia with Jakob Burckhart and his teacher, but first came to be seriously cultivated in the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, was the first in depth investigation into whether the Greeks, on the one hand, questioned existence or, on the other hand, put a question mark over existence. To question existence is rather innocuous, since it amounts to little more, in the end, than a child looking up at the stars and asking what it all means. To put a question mark over existence, however, is another business entirely. For the Greeks, as the life work of Martin Heidegger amply demonstrates, the nature of Greek thinking and the objects towards which it is directed follows so absolutely from the tragic view of the human person that, in a certain sense, philosophy is Greek and could only have developed in Greece. Perhaps stating it a little less categorically, philosophy could have developed elsewhere at least to the extent that something like they way the Greeks understood life was at the forefront: presence, in other words. This thesis deals with the problem ofHeidegger's relation to the Greeks, specifically in terms of his understanding of the Greeks and presence. It is the position of this dissertation that the Greek notion of presence is, as Heidegger understands it, the homeliness of the hearth that radiates through all the things that humans concern themselves with. This is thought by Heidegger, as the Greeks did, specifically in contrast with the uncanninesslunhomeliness of the hqrnan apart from his or her concern with things. Therefore, the thesis is an attempt at exposing the relation between presence and the unhomely by situating it withing Greek existence and the meaning of the Greek Philosopher. In order to support this position, the thesis has been divided into five parts. The first two chapters deal with Heidegger's explanation of the relation between Greek notion of physics (Phusis), metaphysics (specifically in relation to an analysis of time and motion in Greek thought), and what Heidegger calls the fundamental attunement of Dasein (boredom). More exactly, it deals with these issues only so far as they allow us to bring out something like the notion of 'presence' in relation to things and homelessness or restlessness in relation to the human being. The rationale for these two chapters in relation to the central problem of the paper is that in Heidegger's elucidation of physics and metaphysics, he conducts his analysis in such a way that he explicitly uncovers that dimension of human existence that he calls the fundamental attunement of Dasein. This fundamental attunement is, in tum, similar to what the Greeks understood as the deinon, the uncanninesslunhomeliness of the human. The third and fourth chapters take as their explicit themes the problem of the Greek understanding of the assertion and the ways in which the person can comport himlherself toward things, two issues which are not separable. The rationale for these two chapters in relation to the central theme of the paper is that Heidegger's analysis of these two areas in Greek thought brings out precisely why the philosopher and the philosophical way of life is the highest mode of existence for the Greeks and how this is thought specifically in tenns of the uncanniness of humans. The final cijapter gives a complete elucidation of presence as the homeliness of the hearth and shows specifically how this is thought of in contradistinction to the uncanny/unhomely for the Greeks. 1I1 This last chapter also explains Martin Heidegger's reaction to the Greek's interpretation of the highest mode of existence, and what he posited as a counter-thought. The essay as a whole is an attempt to fully concertize an important dimension of Heidegger' s understanding of the Greeks, that is, the relation between presence and the deinon or Greek notion ofunhomely, which, to my la)owledge, has not been offered anywhere in commentaries on Heidegger.

Métrologie de la douleur animale : validation sur des modèles de douleur viscérale bovine et articulaires canins

La douleur est une expérience multidimensionnelle comportant des aspects sensoriels, émotionnels et cognitifs. Théoriquement, des méthodes de mesures comportementales, physiologiques, neurophysiologiques et sensorielles peuvent quantifier la douleur. Peu d’études ont étudié la validation des mesures utilisées en médecine vétérinaire. La recherche combine les travaux de Maîtrise et de Doctorat, traite en partie de la validité de méthodes. Dans cet objectif, nos travaux de recherche étudiaient la validité de méthodes comportementales, physiologiques et neurophysiologiques usuelles pour la mesure de la douleur en comparant les expressions de douleur (vache et chien) chez des animaux contrôle par comparaison à des animaux sous analgésie préventive ou sous traitement curatif suivant une douleur induite par chirurgie (modèles de douleur viscérale bovine ou orthopédique canine) ou causée par une maladie naturelle (arthrose canine). Une première étude comparait les mesures de la douleur entre les vaches du groupe placebo et celles sous analgésie postopératoire sur une durée de 21 jours suivant l’induction d’une douleur viscérale chronique. Les vaches du groupe placebo ont présenté une plus forte sensibilité à la douleur et une diminution de la noradrénaline et de la transthyrétine mesurées dans le liquide cérébro-spinal, une diminution de l’activité motrice (AM) (moindre que dans les groupes avec analgésie), de l’agitation enregistrée par vidéo-analyse et une augmentation du stress selon la mesure de l’activité électrodermique (AED). Les méthodes d’intérêt identifiées étaient les marqueurs spinaux, la mesure de la sensibilisation, de comportements par vidéo-analyse et de l’AM par bio-télémétrie. En utilisant des méthodes semblables à celles précédemment décrites, deux études expérimentales de douleur orthopédique ont été réalisées afin de comparer les réponses à la douleur entre des chiens traités avec une analgésie préventive (opioïdes et anti-inflammatoires, étude #2) ou un biphosphonate (tiludronate, étude #3) par comparaison à des chiens contrôles. Seules les échelles de douleur étaient différentes entre les études de recherche. Pour l’étude #2, les ii chiens sous analgésie ont présenté de plus faibles scores de douleur mesurés avec l’échelle de douleur nommée 4A-VET et ceci simultanément à une faible réponse de l’AED une heure après la chirurgie de trochléoplastie. La fréquence du comportement spontané de ‘la marche avec plein appui de la patte opérée’ mesurée à l’aide de la vidéo-analyse augmentait chez les chiens sous analgésie préventive 24 heures après la chirurgie. L’étude #3 démontrait surtout l’apparition de sensibilisation centrale (à la fois par l’évaluation sensorielle quantitative et les marqueurs spinaux) chez les chiens contrôle, 56 jours après l’induction d’arthrose chirurgicale. Ainsi, les chiens traités avec le tiludronate ont présenté une différence sur la substance P et la transthyrétine cérébro-spinale, une diminution de la sensibilisation périphérique, plus d’appui de la patte opérée lors de la marche selon la mesure du pic de force verticale (PFV), une augmentation de la fréquence de ‘la marche avec plein appui de la patte opérée’. La sensibilisation centrale était associée à la diminution de PFV, et une augmentation de l’AED et du comportement spontané de ‘la marche avec plein appui de la patte opérée’. Pour l’étude #4, la validité et la sensibilité des méthodes ont été évaluées dans une condition d’arthrose naturelle chez des chiens traités avec une diète enrichie en moule verte, un produit ayant des effets anti-inflammatoires et chondroprotecteurs attendus. Les chiens traités présentaient une diminution des scores de douleur via l’échelle nommée CSOM, une augmentation de PFV et une augmentation de l’AM. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats confirment que la vidéo-analyse évaluait la douleur de façon objective et pour des modèles différents de douleur et les marqueurs spinaux sont prometteurs. Le PFV était spécifique de la douleur orthopédique. La sensibilisation était présente lors de douleur pathologique. L’AED n’est pas valide pour la mesure de la douleur. La baisse d’AM suggèrerait un comportement de douleur. Les études étaient exploratoires pour les échelles de douleur en raison de leur niveau (débutant) de développement et du manque d’informations sur les qualités métrologiques de ces mesures.

La experiencia de los receptores en el trasplante de órganos y tejidos

El trasplante de órganos y/o tejidos es considerado como una opción terapéutica viable para el tratamiento tanto de enfermedades crónicas o en estadios terminales, como de afectaciones no vitales, pero que generen una disminución en la calidad de vida percibida por el paciente. Este procedimiento, de carácter multidimensional, está compuesto por 3 actores principales: el donante, el órgano/tejido, y el receptor. Si bien un porcentaje significativo de investigaciones y planes de intervención han girado en torno a la dimensión biológica del trasplante, y a la promoción de la donación; el interés por la experiencia psicosocial y la calidad de vida de los receptores en este proceso ha aumentado durante la última década. En relación con esto, la presente monografía se plantea como objetivo general la exploración de la experiencia y los significados construidos por los pacientes trasplantados, a través de una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre esta temática. Para ello, se plantearon unos objetivos específicos derivados del general, se seleccionaron términos o palabras claves por cada uno de estos, y se realizó una búsqueda en 5 bases de datos para revistas indexadas: Ebsco Host (Academic Search; y Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection); Proquest; Pubmed; y Science Direct. A partir de los resultados, se establece que si bien la vivencia de los receptores ha comenzado a ser investigada, aún es necesaria una mayor exploración sobre la experiencia de estos pacientes; exploración que carecería de objetivo si no se hiciera a través de las narrativas o testimonios de los mismos receptores

Alfabetização e letramento : o discurso e as compreensões de professores da educação infantil

A inquietação fundamental desta investigação foi entender como as professoras da educação infantil se expressam e compreendem a alfabetização e letramento. As categorias eleitas foram alfabetização e letramento, educação infantil e discurso. O referencial teórico teve como principais autores: Ferreiro (1985, 1987, 1988, 1993, 2003), Kramer (1995, 2008, 2010), Soares (1998, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010), Machado (2004), Oliveira (2005), Rosemberg (2002, 2003), Zabalza (1998), Fairclough (2001, 2008), Iñiguez (2004), Orlandi (1994, 2005), Dijk (2004) e Henry (1997). A investigação foi conduzida com cem professoras da educação infantil, e dez professoras que lecionam no Infantil II, última etapa da educação infantil, em seis instituições de ensino da cidade de Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brasil. Procedeu-se à aplicação de um questionário adaptado e validado às professoras de todas as etapas da educação infantil e uma entrevista semiestruturada às professoras do Infantil II. A análise dos dados quantitativos foi realizada por meio do programa SPSS 18.0; enquanto a análise dos dados qualitativos foi orientada pela análise de discurso na linha francesa. Os resultados evidenciaram a relevância, dada pelas professoras, aos processos de alfabetização e letramento na educação infantil. Todavia emergiu da opinião e do discurso de algumas professoras, apesar dessas demonstrarem afinidades com os conceitos e aplicabilidade dos processos de alfabetização e letramento, insegurança, dificuldade e contradições ao refleti-los, ora como processos distintos ora como imbricados entre si.

¿Complicamos demasiado las cosas en los contratos financieros internacionales? (Tema Central)

Este es un momento de gran agitación dentro de los mercados de crédito. Durante los últimos seis meses, decenas de billones de dólares de inversiones en papeles o instrumentos de deuda han tenido que ser castigados. Poderosas instituciones financieras han caído. Algunas de ellas se han visto obligadas a vender importantes porciones de su participación accionarial a inversionistas no convencionales con el fin de mantener los porcentajes mínimos de capital requerido.

Nascimento de um filho :o significado para o pai

Qualitative study on the meaning of a child s birth to the father. Its general purpose was to comprehend the significance the man attaches to his child s birth and its specific objectives were to identify the man s feelings with regard to his child s birth as well as to verify his attitude toward a child s birth. The study was founded on the theoretical reference system about the man in the gravid-puerperal cycle and the humanization of the assistance. The data were obtained through semistructured interview performed with men accompanying their children s birth whose wives were in the immediate puerperium. This stage occurred in two maternity hospitals in Natal-RN, both of which adopt the principle of safe notherhood in the attendance of women in the process of parturition. The material apprehended from the statements was treated in conformity with the content analysis method in the mode of thematic analysis according to Bardin. Three thematic categories emerged from this process: the father s attitude toward his child s birth, the father s feelings in respect of his child s birth, and the informations received by the father in the course of his child s birth. The speech content was analyzed in accordance with the principles of symbolic interactionism according to Blumer. The results showed that the husbands interact with their respective wives and respond with attitudes of care, help, support, and encouragement within the principles of humanization intermingled with feelings of happiness, restlessness, and suffering leading them to appraise and exalt their consorts. Besides, we verified that the father s attitudes and feelings in the delivery room in the light of symbolic interactionism tend to be influenced by the interaction between him and the attending professionals

Equine poisoning by coffee husk (Coffea arabica L.)

Background: In Brazil, coffee (Coffea arabica) husks are reused in several ways due to their abundance, including as stall bedding. However, field veterinarians have reported that horses become intoxicated after ingesting the coffee husks that are used as bedding. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether coffee husk consumption causes intoxication in horses.Results: Six horses fed coast cross hay ad libitum were given access to coffee husks and excitability, restlessness, involuntary muscle tremors, chewing movements and constant tremors of the lips and tongue, excessive sweating and increased respiration and heart rates were the most evident clinical signs. Caffeine levels were measured in the plasma and urine of these horses on two occasions: immediately before the coffee husks were made available to the animals (T0) and at the time of the clinical presentation of intoxication, 56 h after the animals started to consume the husks (T56). The concentrations of caffeine in the plasma (p < 0.001) and urine (p < 0.001) of these animals were significantly greater at T56 than at T0.Conclusions: It was concluded that consumption of coffee husks was toxic to horses due to the high levels of caffeine present in their composition. Therefore, coffee husks pose a risk when used as bedding or as feed for horses.

Influência do biofeedback respiratório associado ao padão quiet breathing sobre a função pulmonar e hábitos de respiradores bucais funcionais

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar os efeitos da utilização do biofeedback respiratório (BR) associado ao padrão quiet breathing sobre a perimetria torácica, função pulmonar, força dos músculos respiratórios e os seguintes hábitos de respiradores bucais funcionais (RBF): vigília de boca aberta, boca aberta durante o sono, baba no travesseiro, despertar difícil, ronco e sono inquieto. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliadas 20 crianças RBF, as quais foram submetidas a 15 sessões de BR por meio do biofeedback pletsmovent (MICROHARD® V1.0), o qual proporciona o biofeedback dos movimentos tóraco-abdominais. Perimetria torácica, espirometria e medidas das pressões respiratórias máximas estáticas foram realizadas antes e após a terapia. Questões respondidas pelos responsáveis foram utilizadas para avaliar os hábitos dos RBF. Os dados foram analisados por meio de teste t de Student para dados pareados e testes não paramétricos. RESULTADOS: O uso do BR associado ao padrão quiet breathing não produziu alterações significativas na perimetria torácica e nos valores de volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1), capacidade vital forçada (CVF), pico de fluxo expiratório (PFE), índice de Tiffeneau (IT) e na pressão expiratória máxima (PEmáx). Entretanto, a pressão inspiratória máxima (PImáx) apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa (-53,6 ± 2,9 cmH2O vs. -65,0 ± 6,0 cmH2O; p< 0,05) e ocorreram mudanças significativas nos hábitos avaliados. CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados permitem concluir que o BR associado ao padrão quiet breathing melhora a força da musculatura inspiratória e hábitos em RBF, podendo ser, portanto, utilizado como uma das formas de terapia nesses indivíduos.

Amphetamine Poisoning in a Dog: Case Report, Literature Review and Veterinary Medical Perspectives

Amphetamine abuse in human beings has increased, resulting in many reports of toxicity and death. In the US over 4 million people have abused amphetamines at least once, thus small animals are exposed to increased accidental poisoning risk. This report describes an acute amphetamine poisoning in a dog due to ingestion of 15 mg/kg fenproporex, leading to typical signs of catecholamines release and effects in different organ systems. Similar clinical and laboratory findings observed in human beings are reviewed and physiopathogenic mechanisms discussed, as well as the therapeutic approaches available in veterinary medicine.

Cardiopulmonary effects of buprenorphine in horses

Objective - To investigate the effects of buprenorphine on cardiopulmonary variables and on abdominal auscultation scores in horses. Animals - 6 healthy adult horses. Procedures - Horses were restrained in stocks and allocated to 2 treatments in a randomized crossover design, with 1-week intervals between each treatment. Saline (0.9% NaCl) solution was administered IV as a control, whereas buprenorphine (10 μg/kg, IV) was administered to the experimental group. Cardiopulmonary data were collected for 120 minutes after buprenorphine or saline solution administration. Abdominal auscultation scores were monitored for 2 and 12 hours after drug administration in the control and experimental groups, respectively. Results - Following control treatment, horses remained calm while restrained in the stocks and no significant changes in cardiopulmonary variables were observed throughout the study. Buprenorphine administration caused excitatory phenomena (restlessness and head shaking). Heart rate, cardiac index, and arterial blood pressure were significantly increased after buprenorphine administration until the end of the observational period (120 minutes). Minimal changes were found in arterial blood gas tensions. Abdominal auscultation scores decreased significantly from baseline for 4 hours after buprenorphine administration. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance - Buprenorphine induced excitement and hemodynamic stimulation with minimal changes in arterial blood gas tensions. These effects may impact the clinical use of buprenorphine in horses. Further studies are indicated to investigate the effects of buprenorphine on gastrointestinal motility and fecal output.
