O cuidado de enfermagem ao idoso em terapia renal substitutiva

Resumo: Este estudo de revisão bibliográfica teve como objetivos identificar, em diferentes fontes de dados, literaturas acerca do aumento de idosos submetidos à terapia renal substitutiva e verificar o modelo de cuidado de enfermagem que vem sendo direcionado a essa população. Na contemporaneidade, em decorrência do prolongamento do processo de viver e envelhecer humano, observa-se a doença renal crônica como implicação da hipertensão e do diabetes, tornando-se uma epidemia entre as diferentes idades. A enfermagem motivada para a compreensão das necessidades de saúde da população idosa tem avançado na produção de conhecimento em gerontologia, despontando estudos voltados ao cuidado do idoso renal crônico, o que denota que os profissionais percebem estar frente a uma nova demanda de pacientes, a qual requer a construção de novas abordagens.

Abstract: This study of bibliographic review aimed to identify, in different data sources, literatures about the increasing number of elders who undergo substitutive renal therapy and verify the nursing care model that has been directed to this population. Currently, due to the longer human life span and aging process, the chronic renal disease is observed as implication of high blood pressure and diabetes, becoming an epidemic among the different ages. The nursing motivated for the understanding of health needs of the elderly population has advanced in the production of knowledge in Geronthology, bringing out studies related to the care of the chronic renal elder, which shows that professionals are aware of this new demand of patients, which requires the construction of new approaches.

The effects of bromazepam over the central and frontal areas during a motor task: an EEG study

The present study investigates the influence of bromazepam while executing a motor task. Specifically, we intend to analyze the changes in alpha absolute power under two experimental conditions, bromazepam and placebo. We also included analyses of theta and beta frequencies. We collected electroencephalographic data before, during, and after motor task execution. We used a Two Way ANOVA to investigate the condition (PL × Br6 mg) and moment (pre and post) variables for the following electrodes: Fp1, Fp2, F7, F3, Fz, F4, F8, C3, CZ and C4. We found a main effect for condition on the electrodes FP1, F7, F3, Fz, F4, C3 and CZ, for alpha and beta bands. For beta band we also found a main effect for condition on the electrodes Fp2, F8 and C4; for theta band we identified a main effect for condition on C3, Cz and C4 electrodes. This finding suggests that the motor task did not have any influence on the electrocortical activity in alpha, and that the existing modifications were a consequence due merely to the drug use. Despite its anxiolytic and sedative action, bromazepam did not show any significant changes when the individuals executed a finger extension motor task
