Objective: We explore the efficacy of the use of a rocking chair (Nordic Sensi® Chair, NSC) in the treatment of BPSD in nursing home residents with moderate and severe dementia.
Background: Changes in hematological parameters in patients with COVID-19 are emerging as important features of the disease in the general population. In the present study we aimed to explore the hematological characteristics and its prevalence proportion ratio in patients with immunosuppression with COVID-19.
Aim: To explore the differences between immunosuppressed and non-immunosuppressed patients, with and without COVID-19 from a hematological perspective.
Aim: The short-term and long-term efficacy of different thermal percutaneous ablation techniques remains a topical issue. Our group implemented percutaneous laser ablation (LA), a moving-shot technique to increase efficiency and reduce costs and variability of LA by applying multiple lower-intensity energy illuminations (MLIEI) covering the nodular volume (V) through changes in position of a single laser fiber within the thyroid nodule. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the single-fiber LA-MLIEI during a 5-year follow-up and to identify possible predictors of the final outcome.
