Forebygging av fall hos eldre i sykehus og sykehjem

Hurtigoppsummering fra Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten i fht kunnskapsgrunnlaget for effekt av tiltak for å forhindre fall hos eldre pasienter i sykehus og sykehjem.Bakgrunn: En nasjonal pasientsikkerhetskampanje, med planlagt oppstart i 2011, er under forberedelse. For å støtte beslutningsprosessen rundt valg av innsatsområder og tiltak, har vi foretatt en hurtigoppsummering av kunnskapsgrunnlaget for effekt av tiltak for å forhindre fall hos eldre pasienter i sykehus og sykehjem. Oppdrag: Oppdraget ble gitt av Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten, sekretariatet for pasientsikkerhetskampanjen 2011. Hovedkonklusjoner: • Trening gir trolig ingen reduksjon i antall fall blant eldre i sykehus og sykehjem, eller reduksjon i antall eldre som faller • Sammensatte tiltak organisert av tverrfaglige team kan redusere antall fall blant eldre, antall eldre som faller og antall hoftebrudd blant eldre i sykehjem • Sammensatte tiltak av ulike typer kan redusere antall fall blant eldre og antall eldre som faller i sykehus • Vitamin D tilskudd kan redusere antall fall blant eldre i sykehus og sykehjem, men trolig ikke antall eldre som faller • Legemiddelgjennomgang kan redusere antall fall blant eldre i sykehus og sykehjem, men trolig ikke antall eldre som faller • Det er usikkert om veiledet trening eller fysiske tiltak i bomiljøet alene kan forhindre fall hos eldre i sykehjem og sykehus • Hoftebeskyttere kan forhindre antall hoftebrudd, men trolig ikke antall benbrudd generelt eller dødelighet. Konklusjonene ble trukket etter gjennomgang av to Cochrane-oversikter og en rapport fra Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten

PENERAPAN ALAT PERAGA MODEL SEL DALAM MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA POKOK BAHASAN SEL DI SMAN 1 SURANENGGALA KABUPATEN CIREBON

DIAN MARYANI: Penerapan Alat Peraga Model Sel Dalam Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Pada Pokok Bahasan Sel Kelas XI Di SMAN 1 Suranenggala Kab. Cirebon Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh hasil belajar siswa yang belum tercapai, karena belum adanya sarana dan prasarana yang memadai sehingga pembelajaran masih menggunakan metode ceramah. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya kreativitas seorang guru untuk menciptakan dan membuat serta menerapkan suatu alat peraga dalam proses pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan daya ingat siswa sehingga hasil belajar siswa meningkat. Proses belajar mengajar merupakan proses komunikasi antar siswa dan guru. Untuk mempermudah suatu proses komunikasi dibutuhkan suatu media untuk menyampaikan konsep agar pembelajaran lebih mudah dipahami oleh siswa. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan peran dan kreativitas guru dalam menyesuaikan media alat peraga dengan materi. Penggunaan media alat peraga membantu siswa untuk meningkatkan daya ingat karena dalam media alat peraga mampu merangsang panca indera yang meliputi indera pendengaran dan indera penglihatan yang mampu merangsang siswa dalam memahami dan mengingat materi pembelajaran sehingga mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa.

Rapid reviews versus full systematic reviews: An inventory of current methods and practice in health technology assessment

Objectives: This review assessed current practice in the preparation of rapid reviews by health technology assessment (HTA) organizations, both internationally and in the Australian context, and evaluated the available peer-reviewed literature pertaining to the methodology used in the preparation of these reviews. Methods: A survey tool was developed and distributed to a total of fifty International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) members and other selected HTA organizations. Data on a broad range of themes related to the conduct of rapid reviews were collated, discussed narratively, and subjected to simple statistical analysis where appropriate. Systematic searches of the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Australian Medical Index were undertaken in March 2007 to identify literature pertaining to rapid review methodology. Comparative studies, guidelines, program evaluations, methods studies, commentaries, and surveys were considered for inclusion. Results: Twenty-three surveys were returned (46 percent), with eighteen agencies reporting on thirty-six rapid review products. Axiomatic trends were identified, but there was little cohesion between organizations regarding the contents, methods, and definition of a rapid review. The twelve studies identified by the systematic literature search did not specifically address the methodology underpinning rapid review; rather, many highlighted the complexity of the area. Authors suggested restricted research questions and truncated search strategies as methods to limit the time taken to complete a review. Conclusions: Rather than developing a formalized methodology by which to conduct rapid reviews, agencies should work toward increasing the transparency of the methods used for each review. It is perhaps the appropriate use, not the appropriate methodology, of a rapid review that requires future consideration.Amber Watt, Alun Cameron, Lana Sturm, Timothy Lathlean, Wendy Babidge, Stephen Blamey, Karen Facey, David Hailey, Inger Norderhaug and Guy Madder

The HTA Core Model: A novel method for producing and reporting health technology assessments

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and test a generic framework to enable international collaboration for producing and sharing results of health technology assessments (HTAs). Methods: Ten international teams constructed the HTA Core Model, dividing information contained in a comprehensive HTA into standardized pieces, the assessment elements. Each element contains a generic issue that is translated into practical research questions while performing an assessment. Elements were described in detail in element cards. Two pilot assessments, designated as Core HTAs were also produced. The Model and Core HTAs were both validated. Guidance on the use of the HTA Core Model was compiled into a Handbook. Results: The HTA Core Model considers health technologies through nine domains. Two applications of the Model were developed, one for medical and surgical interventions and another for diagnostic technologies. Two Core HTAs were produced in parallel with developing the model, providing the first real-life testing of the Model and input for further development. The results of formal validation and public feedback were primarily positive. Development needs were also identified and considered. An online Handbook is available. Conclusions: The HTA Core Model is a novel approach to HTA. It enables effective international production and sharing of HTA results in a structured format. The face validity of the Model was confirmed during the project, but further testing and refining are needed to ensure optimal usefulness and user-friendliness. Core HTAs are intended to serve as a basis for local HTA reports. Core HTAs do not contain recommendations on technology us

Accounting Problems Under the Excess Profits Tax

DNA vaccines based on subunits from pathogens have several advantages over other vaccine strategies. DNA vaccines can easily be modified, they show good safety profiles, are stable and inexpensive to produce, and the immune response can be focused to the antigen of interest. However, the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines which is generally quite low needs to be improved. Electroporation and co-delivery of genetically encoded immune adjuvants are two strategies aiming at increasing the efficacy of DNA vaccines. Here, we have examined whether targeting to antigen-presenting cells (APC) could increase the immune response to surface envelope glycoprotein (Env) gp120 from Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV- 1). To target APC, we utilized a homodimeric vaccine format denoted vaccibody, which enables covalent fusion of gp120 to molecules that can target APC. Two molecules were tested for their efficiency as targeting units: the antibody-derived single chain Fragment variable (scFv) specific for the major histocompatilibility complex (MHC) class II I-E molecules, and the CC chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3). The vaccines were delivered as DNA into muscle of mice with or without electroporation. Targeting of gp120 to MHC class II molecules induced antibodies that neutralized HIV-1 and that persisted for more than a year after one single immunization with electroporation. Targeting by CCL3 significantly increased the number of HIV-1 gp120-reactive CD8(+) T cells compared to non-targeted vaccines and gp120 delivered alone in the absence of electroporation. The data suggest that chemokines are promising molecular adjuvants because small amounts can attract immune cells and promote immune responses without advanced equipment such as electroporation.Funding Agencies|Research Council of Norway; Odd Fellow</p

A propriedade sem registro : o contrato e aquisição da propriedade imóvel na perspectiva civil-contitucional

Orientador : Prof. Dr. Eroulths Cortiano JuniorTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito. Defesa: Curitiba, 12/08/2014Inclui referênciasResumo: Esta tese objetiva uma releitura da obrigatoriedade do registro nas aquisições da propriedade imóvel, a partir do reconhecimento do contrato como dotado de função social, que realiza, igualmente, a função social como liberdade de acesso aos bens. A propriedade imobiliária no Direito Civil brasileiro está qualificada como direito real, conforme o art. 1225, I, do Código Civil, e sua transferência negocial se orienta pelo sistema da separação parcial dos planos dos direitos obrigacionais e reais, o qual prevê a necessidade do contrato de transmissão (compra e venda, doação ou permuta) com posterior registro no Cartório Imobiliário, nos termos do art. 1245 e seguintes. A Constituição Federal de 1988 garante o direito de propriedade, que deve atender à sua função social, considerando-a como direito fundamental (art. 5.o, XXII e XXIII) e como princípio geral da ordem econômica (art. 170, II e III). A necessária interação entre o Direito Civil e a Constituição, sob a supremacia hierárquica desta, conduz a entender que o direito de propriedade atual, para além da literalidade do Código Civil, deve nortear-se pela sintonia entre ambos os diplomas legais, mas a partir da observação dos princípios e dos valores constitucionais. O Direito Civil-Constitucional surge, então, como uma opção de desenvolvimento do pensamento jurídico, que visa oferecer espaço de reflexão que supere a dogmática unicamente codificada, pois, com fundamento nos princípios e na axiologia constitucional, auxilia na ressignificação de institutos clássicos, como a propriedade e o contrato. O acesso à propriedade, então, pode ser considerado para além da letra da lei, o que permite relevar o registro, com a funcionalização do contrato que, a partir de sua teleologia, da solidariedade, da alteridade e da boa-fé, pode ser o elemento constitutivo da propriedade, com base no caso concreto. A aplicação direta e imediata da Constituição nas relações interprivadas favorece a ressignificação do contrato, que alçará significado de título suficiente para garantir o direito à propriedade (acesso). A complexidade e a pluralidade das relações sociais conduzem a uma transição do modelo abstrato e individualista da propriedade para o da propriedade concreta, que se constrói na funcionalização como liberdade(s) com vistas à realização das necessidade da pessoa concretamente considerada.Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to re-read the mandatory registration on acquisition of immovable property, from the social function of contract's recognition, which also performs its social function as freedom of access to assets. The immovable property in the Brazilian Civil Law is qualified as a real right, according to art. 1225, I, Civil Code, and its negotiating transferring is guided by the partial separation between obligations and real rights, which predicts the registration of transmission's contract (sale, donation or exchange) with the state registration authority, according to art. 1245 and on Civil Code. The 1988 Federal Constitution guarantees the right to property, which must meet its social function, considering it as a fundamental right (art. 5, XXII and XXIII) and as a general principle of economic order (art. 170, II and III). The necessary interaction between the civil law and the Constitution, under the hierarchical supremacy of this leads to understand that the current property law, beyond its literal meaning of the Civil Code, shall be guided by the line between the two enactments, but from the observation of constitutional principles and values.The Civil-constitutional Law arises, then, as an option for legal thinking development, which aims to provide a reflection space that overcomes the consolidated dogmatic, therefore, on the basis of principles and the constitutional axiology, assists in reframing classical institutes, as property and contract. The access to the property can then be considered beyond the letter of the law, which allows to release the register, with the functionalization's contract which, from its teleology, solidarity, alterity and good faith, may be the constituent element of the property, based on the case. The direct and immediate constitutional applying in privates relations cooperate to the contract redefinition, which obtain the sufficient title to guarantee the right to property (access). The complexity and plurality of social relations lead to a transition from abstract and individualistic model of property to concrete one which is constructed on functionalization as freedom (s) to intending to accomplish persons needs concretely considered
