Background: Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in low to middle income countries. This study aimed to scrutinisethe clinicalcourse of patients diagnosed with PPU and identify modifiable factors to improve outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review of thehybrid electronic medical record (HEMR) database at Grey’s Hospital was performed.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal demonstrar as literaturas disponíveis acerca das orientações sobre as modificações fisiológicas que ocorrem no organismo durante a gravidez. Além disso, tem como objetivo secundário auxiliar futuros estudos sobre a temática proposta. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, utilizando a metodologia qualitativa. Por meio da pesquisa nas bases de dados, foram encontrados 684 quando não aplicado os critérios de inclusão, obtendo apenas 3 trabalhos ao final da pesquisa.

Diante da importância do tema e do risco de complicações ainda mais graves, buscou-se reunir informações com o propósito de responder ao seguinte problema de pesquisa: Como a disfunção motora oral e a disfagia podem influenciar na qualidade de vida e no prognóstico dos recém nascidos?. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, com a finalidade de sistematizar o conhecimento sobre o tema pela reunião dos principais dados disponíveis na literatura.

O marco legal da inovação e o reconhecimento do direito ao desenvolvimento como direito fundamental possibilitam uma mudança na concepção das políticas públicas a serem implementadas pelo ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. O Poder Judiciário, por sua vez, através do Conselho Nacional de Justiça tem adotado medidas e projetos no sentido de impulsionar a adoção da inovação pelos tribunais, tornando esse processo contínuo nos órgãos judiciários, promovendo mudanças para que possam prestar serviços à Sociedade 5.0.

The objective of this study is to identify the frequency of osteoarticular deformities in the feet and their association with the risk for ulceration and reulceration in people with diabetes mellitus. This is a cross-sectional study carried out among individuals under monitoring at the State Reference Center for Diabetes Care and Endocrinology of Bahia, from November 2006 to February 2018.

Background: Approximately every fourth patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) will require intensive care unit (ICU) admission with further mechanical ventilation (MV) and therefore with high risk for development ventilator- associated pneumonia (VAP). Aim: The study was aimed to learn risk factors predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with AE COPD associated with VAP and to evaluate the modifiable risk factors in term on improvement of patient outcomes.

Before the mid 1950s, the term early clamping was defined as umbilical cord clamping within 1 minute of birth, and late clamping was defined as umbilical cord clamping more than 5 minutes after birth. In a series of small studies of blood volume changes after birth, it was reported that 80–100 mL of blood transfers from the placenta to the newborn in the first 3 minutes after birth and up to 90% of that blood volume transfer was achieved within the first few breaths in healthy term infants.

Objectives: To determine the rate of burnout among medical students of Guyana and to identify the causes and effects of burnout among those medical students affected. Design & Methods: This cross-sectional, quantitative study surveyed 238 medical students from all five medical schools in Guyana. The Burnout Inventory Student Survey (MBI-SS) score was used to determine the risk of burnout among the surveyed students.

Highly doped metal oxides like Indium Tin Oxide can have metal like optical properties in the NIR frequency range. This paper aims to report the optical properties of highly doped metal oxides and its efficient use as substitute to metals in the excitation and propagation of surface plasmon polariton wave with the help of MATLAB simulations.

Fishes, an imperative source of easily digestible high-quality proteins, playing a vital role in human health. Marine pollution can increase the concentration of toxic metals in water and may affect fish health.The major objective of the present study was to determine the nutritional quality, condition factor and heavymetal concentration of edible fish species, fin fish Rastrelliger kanagurta(Cuvier, 1816), and shell fish Metapeneusdobsoni(Miers, 1878), collected from the Arabian Sea coast of Neendakara harbour, during the summer season (February) of 2019.
