Technological Challenges and Solutions in Emergency Remote Teaching for Nursing: An International Cross-Sectional Survey.

Objectives: With the sudden global shift to online learning modalities, this study aimed to understand the unique challenges and experiences of emergency remote teaching (ERT) in nursing education.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive online international cross-sectional survey to capture the current state and firsthand experiences of ERT in the nursing discipline. Our analytical methods included a combination of traditional statistical analysis, advanced natural language processing techniques, latent Dirichlet allocation using Python, and a thorough qualitative assessment of feedback from open-ended questions.

Mobile Application Model for Supporting in Wound Treatment.

Objective: This article presents a mobile application model for the treatment tracking of in-hospital wounds.

Methods: A survey of the literature on mobile apps for wound monitoring was carried out. Health professionals were interviewed and wound forms were analyzed to synthesize the application's fields and features.

Emergency Remote Learning in Nursing Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Due to the corona (COVID-19) pandemic, several countries are currently conducting non-face-to-face education. Therefore, teachers of nursing colleges have been carrying out emergency remote education. This study developed a questionnaire to understand the status of Emergency Remote Learning (ERL) in nursing education internationally, translated it into 7 languages, and distributed it to 18 countries.

Technologies to Combat Aedes Mosquitoes: A Model Based on Smart City.

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunya fever, zika virus fever, some of which can cause irreversible central nervous system problems and death. This study investigates what technologies are being used for combatting and monitoring the Aedes mosquitoes and to propose joining these technologies into a single and complete solution using the Smart Cities concept. A search for newscasts on Google and mobile apps in app stores were performed to identify technological solutions for combat to Aedes mosquitoes.

Nurse Informaticians Report Low Satisfaction and Multi-level Concerns with Electronic Health Records: Results from an International Survey.

This study presents a qualitative content analysis of nurses' satisfaction and issues with current electronic health record (EHR) systems, as reflected in one of the largest international surveys of nursing informatics. Study participants from 45 countries (n=469) ranked their satisfaction with the current state of nursing functionality in EHRs as relatively low. Two-thirds of the participants (n=283) provided disconcerting comments when explaining their low satisfaction rankings.

Risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease in women.

Objectives: To evaluate the factors that predispose to the development of cardiovascular diseases in women who were attended at a Basic Health Unit in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil.

Methods: The research was characterized as observational and quantitative. The population sample consisted of 60 women aged over 18 years, being chosen at random.

Current Trends in Nursing Informatics: Results of an International Survey.

Nursing informatics (NI) can help provide effective and safe healthcare. This study aimed to describe current research trends in NI. In the summer 2015, the IMIA-NI Students Working Group created and distributed an online international survey of the current NI trends.

Nursing Informatics Research Priorities for the Future: Recommendations from an International Survey.

We present one part of the results of an international survey exploring current and future nursing informatics (NI) research trends. The study was conducted by the International Medical Informatics Association Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group (IMIA-NISIG) Student Working Group. Based on findings from this cross-sectional study, we identified future NI research priorities.

Advancing Nursing Informatics in the Next Decade: Recommendations from an International Survey.

In the summer of 2015, the International Medical Informatics Association Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group (IMIA NISIG) Student Working Group developed and distributed an international survey of current and future trends in nursing informatics. The survey was developed based on current literature on nursing informatics trends and translated into six languages. Respondents were from 31 different countries in Asia, Africa, North and Central America, South America, Europe, and Australia.

n-Octyl gallate as inhibitor of pyruvate carboxylation and lactate gluconeogenesis.

The alkyl gallates are found in several natural and industrial products. In the latter products, these compounds are added mainly for preventing oxidation. In the present work, the potencies of methyl gallate, n-propyl gallate, n-pentyl gallate, and n-octyl gallate as inhibitors of pyruvate carboxylation and lactate gluconeogenesis were evaluated.

Significance of clay art therapy for psychiatric patients admitted in a day hospital.

Objective: To understand the significance of clay art therapy for psychiatric patients admitted in a day hospital.

Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, undertaken with 16 patients in a day hospital in Londrina, in the state of Parana, Brazil, who participated in seven clay therapy sessions. Data collection took place from January to July 2012 through interviews guided by a semi structured questionnaire and the data were submitted to content analysis.

mHealth data collector: an application to collect and report indicators for assessment of cardiometabolic risk.

Traditional population surveys use paper forms that are filled manually by an interviewer. This process can take a long time; in comparison, computerizing the process reduces time, promotes safety and accuracy of data, improves patient care, and offers better control over the compiled information. From this perspective, it can be argued that mobile health supports mechanisms for the diagnosis, control, and prevention of metabolic diseases.

Kinetics of the transformation of n-propyl gallate and structural analogs in the perfused rat liver.

n-Propyl gallate and its analogs are used in foods and other products to prevent oxidation. In the liver the compound exerts several harmful effects, especially gluconeogenesis inhibition. The mode of transport and distribution of n-propyl gallate and its kinetics of biotransformation have not yet been investigated.

Hepatic effects of flunixin-meglumin in LPS-induced sepsis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the actions of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug flunixin-meglumin (FM) on the changes caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis in the rat liver. Eight groups of five adult male Wistar rats were analysed: (1) saline injected (controls), (2) FM treated with 1.1 mg/kg, (3) FM treated with 2.

The action of n-propyl gallate on gluconeogenesis and oxygen uptake in the rat liver.

In the present study the metabolic actions of n-propyl gallate on hepatic gluconeogenesis, oxygen uptake and related parameters were investigated. Experiments were done in the isolated perfused rat liver. n-Propyl gallate inhibited gluconeogenesis and stimulated oxygen uptake at concentrations up to 200 microM.
