Facilitators and barriers to adherence to medical recommendations among adolescents with cancer: A systematic review.

We aimed to systematically review barriers/facilitators of adherence among adolescents with cancer (aged 10-24 years), following a comprehensive approach to adherence that goes beyond medication-taking. Empirical studies published in English exploring determinants of adherence to medical recommendations among adolescents with cancer were identified in MEDLINE, PsycInfo, and Web of Science, up to October 2021. Records and full-text articles were reviewed by two independent reviewers, and results were classified according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) multidimensional adherence model.

Neuroprotective effects of crude extracts, compounds, and isolated molecules obtained from plants in the central nervous system injuries: a systematic review.

The number of people with central nervous system (CNS) injuries increases worldwide and only a few therapies are used to mitigate neurological damage. Crude extracts, compounds, and isolated molecules obtained from plants have neuroprotective effects; however, their actions on the central nervous system are still not fully understood. This systematic review investigated the neuroprotective effects of crude extracts, compound, and isolated molecules obtained from plants in different CNS lesions.

Global research trends related to coronavirus disease 2019 and the aged: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: A bibliometric analysis covering only the production of original studies or considering world production until 2022 has yet to be conducted. The creation and advancement of vaccines have also influenced research priorities, demonstrating the need for a new approach to this subject.

Modeling the Batch Sedimentation of Calcium Carbonate Particles in Laboratory Experiments-A Systematic Approach.

The design of continuous thickeners and clarifiers is commonly based on the solid flux theory. Batch sedimentation experiments conducted with solid concentrations still provide useful information for their application. The construction of models for the velocity of settling allows the estimation of the flux of solids throughout time, which can, in turn, be used to find the area of the units required to achieve a given solid concentration in the clarified stream.

Recall of delirium and related distress in elderly hospitalized patients: A prospective study.

Delirium is a very common neuropsychiatric disorder in the elderly, with a significant physical and psychological burden. Much is still unknown about its psychological effects. This study aims to identify the proportion of patients who recall delirium and to analyze the distress caused by it.

Bibliometric Analysis of Global Scientific Production on COVID-19 and Vaccines.

This bibliometric analysis aims to analyze the global scientific production of COVID-19 and vaccines. First, a search for scientific articles was performed using the advanced query in the Web of Science™ database, more precisely in its core collection, on 18 February 2023. Data from 7754 articles were analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny application.

IMPACTO-MR: a Brazilian nationwide platform study to assess infections and multidrug resistance in intensive care units.

Objective: To describe the IMPACTO-MR, a Brazilian nationwide intensive care unit platform study focused on the impact of health care-associated infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Methods: We described the IMPACTO-MR platform, its development, criteria for intensive care unit selection, characterization of core data collection, objectives, and future research projects to be held within the platform.

Results: The core data were collected using the Epimed Monitor System® and consisted of demographic data, comorbidity data, functional status, clinical scores, admission diagnosis and secondary diagnoses, laboratory, clinical, and microbiological data, and organ support during intensive care unit stay, among others.

Possible adverse effects of low-level laser on oral and oropharyngeal cancer cells: A scope review.

Background: The effects of laser therapy on normal cells are well known and accepted, but the impact of this therapy on malignant cells are not yet fully understood. This review aims to map and outline what the scientific literature addresses on the effects of laser therapy on malignant cells.

Methods: This review article followed the guidelines of the PRISMA-ScR protocol, being all the search, analysis, and selection of articles based on it.

Using rheological monitoring to determine the gelation kinetics of chitosan-based systems.

The modeling of polymeric reactions is a topic of large interest. The gelation reactions that may result from self-crosslinking or hybrid (agent based-) crosslinking are examples with interest specially in biomaterials applications. The composition of polymer entities during the reaction is hard to follow, and their concentration is not a good measure of the system dynamics.

Risk management of adverse events in a maternity hospital.

Objective: To investigate the root causes of adverse events in a maternity hospital through risk management.

Method: Action research with seven nursing professionals given their expressive capillarity in the service. The study was conducted between January 2020 and February 2021.

Presence of Trypanosoma vivax DNA in cattle semen and reproductive tissues and related changes in sperm parameters.

The present work investigated the presence of Trypanosoma vivax in semen and reproductive tissues of experimentally infected cattle and evaluated changes in seminal parameters. Two groups of cattle were established: T01 - experimentally infected with T. vivax (n = 8) and T02 - not experimentally infected with T.

Multidimensional context of technical nursing education: triangulation of meanings attributed by teachers.

Objective: To unveil and discuss the meanings attributed by teachers to the teacher-student relationship in the multidimensional context of technical nursing education.

Population Structure of Curraleiro Pé-Duro Cattle and its Relationship With the Serological Profile Against Pathogens of Economic and Zoonotic Interest.

Curraleiro Pé-Duro (CPD) cattle, a Brazilian local breed, are animals that are highly resistant to infectious and parasitic diseases. Strategies for the conservation of the breed and the genetic resistance to diseases should also consider the characteristics of the breed. The objective of this study was to analyze the diversity and population structure of the CPD breed using microsatellite markers and to correlate the serological profiles for causative agents of brucellosis, leptospirosis, neosporosis, leukosis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, and bovine viral diarrhea.

Effect on Antimicrobial Resistance of a Policy Restricting Over-the-Counter Antimicrobial Sales in a Large Metropolitan Area, São Paulo, Brazil.

Although restricting over-the-counter (OTC) antimicrobial drug sales is recommended globally, no data track its effect on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria. We evaluated the effect of a national policy restricting OTC antimicrobial sales, put in place in November 2010, on AMR in a metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. We reviewed associations between antimicrobial sales from private pharmacies and AMR in 404,558 Escherichia coli and 5,797 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates using a dynamic regression model based on a Bayesian approach.
