Background: The population over 65 years of age is key in the decision to donate organs in its different aspects. We sought to analyze the attitude toward organ donation from a relative among people over 65 years of age and to determine the psychosocial variables that may influence their attitude.
Methods: The study population consisted of citizens over 65 years of age.
Article Synopsis
- A study monitored 63 patients' motor activity, distal temperature, and light exposure over a week using a wrist device to explore the connection between circadian rhythms and liver disease severity.
- Findings revealed that as liver disease worsens (as indicated by the Child-Pugh score), so do circadian parameters, suggesting that monitoring these rhythms could improve care strategies and overall quality of life for patients awaiting transplantation.
Objective: To characterize safety incidents in paediatric emergency departments (PEDs): frequency, sources, root causes, and consequences.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study in the PED of the Clinical University Hospital XX (blinded for review). Patients were recruited through opportunity sampling and the data were collected during care delivery and one week later through a telephone survey.
Article Synopsis
- * The study focuses on the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in liver inflammation and cell death, examining its activation in liver transplant patients to identify potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
- * Results show greater inflammasome activation and gene expression in DCD liver samples, correlating with lower survival rates post-transplant, suggesting that monitoring inflammasome activity could be important for improving transplant outcomes.
Background: Mammals are subject to circadian rhythms for the control of various physiological events. One of the parameters known to be subject to variations throughout the day is body temperature, which is also subject to influences such as environmental temperature. However, there are not many studies on these rhythms in breeding sows.
