Article Synopsis
- Self-care and understanding one's illness are crucial in managing systemic arterial hypertension, motivating the study to explore how these concepts are represented in scientific research.
- A systematic review analyzed 892 studies, narrowing down to 39 relevant papers, primarily conducted in the U.S. over the past five years, focusing on observational data rather than interventions.
- Key findings highlighted that antihypertensive medication and patients' disease perceptions were commonly examined, but the involvement of healthcare professionals like nurses and doctors in these discussions was notably limited.
Background: There are several tools to assess functional and physical status in critical ill patients. These tools can guide rehabilitation strategies in Intensive care units (ICU). However, they are not standardized, and this can compromise their applicability.

Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) reduces respiratory load and demands on peripheral muscles.
Methods: This study aims to evaluate the acute effects of bi-level NIV on peripheral muscle function during isokinetic exercise and aerobic performance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This is a pilot crossover study performed with a non-probabilistic sample of 14 moderate to very severe COPD patients.
