Clinical validity of the nursing diagnosis risk for unstable blood glucose level in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A case-control study.

Objective: To assess clinical-causal validity evidence of the nursing diagnosis, risk for unstable blood glucose level (00179), in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted in 5 primary healthcare units, involving 107 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 60 in the case group and 47 in the control group. Causality was determined by the association between sociodemographic and clinical factors, risk factors related to the nursing diagnosis, and the occurrence of unstable blood glucose level.

Models of Support for Caregivers and Patients with the Post-COVID-19 Condition: A Scoping Review.

Background: In December 2019, an outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), occurred in the city of Wuhan, China. On 30 January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. In October 2021, with the advancement of the disease, the World Health Organization defined the post-COVID-19 condition.

Ineffective health management in people with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: To analyze the Nursing Diagnosis Ineffective Health Management in people with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Cross-sectional correlational study conducted with 112 patients from August 2018 to April 2019 in a primary healthcare facility, Ceará, Brazil. Used a structured interview and a form created by the authors specifically for the study.

Results: Of the 405 studies analyzed, 27 met the inclusion criteria.

Effect of gadolinium incorporation on the structure and luminescence properties of niobium-based materials.

In this work, we have investigated how the concentration of Gd ions affects the structural and luminescent properties of niobium oxide-based matrices doped with Eu ions obtained by the adapted non-hydrolytic sol-gel route. X-ray diffractograms revealed that increasing the concentration of Gd ions favored the onset of the GdO structure decreasing the GdNbO phase. The excitation spectra (λ  = 613 nm) presented bands corresponding to the F → L transitions (L = D, G, and L, where J = 0-7), attributed to the Eu ions, and a broad band at 270 nm, assigned to the charge transfer of the [Formula: see text] group.
