The Effect of Practices by Caregiver Mothers of Children with Tracheostomies at Home on the Occurrence of Pressure Ulcers

Journal of Pediatric Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine
Introduction: Children with tracheostomies who are bedridden at home are vulnerable to the risk of pressure ulcers. This study aimed to determine the practices made by mothers, who care for their children with tracheostomy at home, for pressure ulcers ...

Investigation of the Relationship between Pressure and Injury by Impacting Ex Vivo Perfused Spleens [PDF]

, 2014
Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) can be fatal and may induce permanent disability to the individuals involved. MVCs may result in injury to different body regions, but in particular, the abdomen is a site of life-threatening injuries due to housing vital ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Screening for lung cancer: A systematic review of overdiagnosis and its implications

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low‐dose computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer may increase overdiagnosis compared to no screening, though the risk is likely low versus chest X‐ray. Our review of 8 trials (84 660 participants) shows added costs. Further research with strict adherence to modern nodule management strategies may help determine the extent to which ...

We See Ourselves as a Part of the Healthcare Team: Involving Patients and Their Caregivers in the Prevention of Hospital-acquired Pressure Injuries [PDF]

Journal of Client-centered Nursing Care
Pressure injuries are the most common adverse effect of shear and pressure in the hospital. Pressure ulcers usually occur on a bony prominence in hospitals and pose a risk to patient safety. These injuries indicate poor health care quality.

Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.

Prediction of survival probabilities with Bayesian Decision Trees [PDF]

, 2013
Practitioners use Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) models for predicting the survival probability of an injured patient. The accuracy of TRISS predictions is acceptable for patients with up to three typical injuries, but unacceptable for patients

Incidence and risk factors for pressure injuries in patients who have undergone vascular operations: a scoping review

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Background Patients who have undergone vascular operations are thought to be at an increased risk for developing pressure injuries; however, the extent to which pressure injuries occur in this population is not clear.
