Effect of Early Multiprofessional Mobilization on Quality Indicators of Intensive Care in a Less Economically Developed Country: An Action on "Rehabilitation 2030" in Brazil.

Objective: To investigate the effects of implementing early multiprofessional mobilization on quality indicators of intensive care in Brazil.

Design: This is a retrospective cohort study.

Setting: A Brazilian educational and research-intensive care unit (ICU).

The Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio app: a digital health system to improve wellbeing of inpatients with heart or lung disease.

Background: An app providing material for education and entertaining is a possible way to support patients and healthcare providers in achieving person-centered care.

Methods: An app tailored on the Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio (FTGM), a research hospital treating cardiac and lung disorders, was created. A pilot evaluation project was conducted on consecutive patients hospitalized for heart or lung disorders.

[Nursing handover: an observational study at the inpatient wards - cardiothoracic department].

Introduction: The handover has relevant implications in terms of patient safety. An effective handover requires the use of a standardized and shared communication tool.

Aim: This observational study explored the nursing handover at shift change in order to detect eventual omissions.

TiO nanotubes improve physico-mechanical properties of glass ionomer cement.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the physico-mechanical properties of a high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) reinforced with TiO nanotubes (TiO-nt).

Methods: TiO-nt was incorporated into the GIC powder components (Ketac Molar EasyMix™) in concentrations of 0% (control group), 3%, 5%, 7% by weight. Compressive strength (n = 10/group), three point bending for flexural strength (n = 18/group), microshear bond strength to dentin and failure mode (n = 20/group), and surface roughness and weight loss before and after brushing simulation (30,000 cycles) (n = 8/group) were evaluated.

In Situ Endoscopic Analysis of Vascular Supply and Regenerated Alveolar Bone in -TCP Grafted and Ungrafted Postextraction Sites before Implant Placement: A Prospective Case Control Study.

Background: Endoscopy has seen a significant development over recent years in various medical fields with its application expanding from the support of minimal invasive surgery to in situ imaging. In this context, the application of endoscopic techniques to assess the quality of the regenerated bone in situ in the drill hole before implant placement is an appealing approach.

Aim: The aim of this study was to use short distance support immersion endoscopy (SD-SIE) to compare the quality of regenerated bone in healed postextraction sites, which are grafted with an in situ hardening -TCP, against ungrafted sites, before implant placement.
