Animals destined for human consumption play a key role in potentially transmitting bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes. However, there is limited knowledge about the carriage of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in native breeds. We aimed to characterize the phenotypic profiles and antibiotic resistance genes in isolated from bovines, including three native Portuguese bovine breeds.

Background: Increased cardiac after load and multiple non-hemodynamic stimuli implicate in adverse left ventricular remodeling (LVR). This is particularly identifiable in treatment-resistant and secondary hypertension contexts, like primary hyperaldosteronism (PA), however little data exists on post-treatment residual LVR in these individuals.

Methods: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with T1 mapping were performed in 14 patients with treated PA matched with 15 treated patients with primary hypertension (PH) and 15 healthy individuals.

In the current health context, there is a widespread increase in chronic non-communicable diseases that predominantly affect the cardiovascular system. Recent epidemiological data in Brazil indicate a rise in these diseases, which can result in severe harm to patients, including death. This study aims to present a study protocol to evaluate the effect of music in reducing anxiety and stress in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.

Article Synopsis
  • The study reviews existing literature on Integrative and Complementary Health Practices (ICHPs) in Adult Intensive Care Units, aiming to understand their effectiveness and implementation.
  • Data was collected in January 2023 from studies published since 1994, with a focus on quantitative clinical trials, finding that music therapy was particularly well-received.
  • The authors conclude that while interest in ICHPs in ICU settings is increasing, further research is necessary to assess their impacts and highlight the crucial role of nursing in incorporating these practices.
