QUALIDADE DE VIDA NO TRABALHO DE PROFISSIONAIS EXPATRIADOS PARA ÍNDIA E CHINA
Authors: Zwielewski Graziele , Tolfo Suzana da Rosa
Published: November 2016

RESUMO Uma das formas encontradas pelas empresas com atuação internacional para desenvolver profissionais é por meio da expatriação. Porém, expatriar remete a mudanças significativas e consequentes alterações no modo como as pessoas percebem, interpretam e se comportam no meio em que passam a viver e trabalhar. Devido às mudanças psicossocioculturais e familiares enfrentadas, os expatriados e suas famílias ficam sem contingências para se sentirem seguros. Esses elementos citados impactam na qualidade de vida dessas pessoas, que precisam se adaptar a um novo contexto cultural, econômico, político, psicossocial, e muitas vezes são obrigadas a adiar projetos pessoais, deixar de conviver com a família, modificar suas relações sociais. A necessidade de adaptação na vida pessoal do expatriado gera reflexos na sua vida profissional, afetando suas relações com o trabalho. Este contexto complexo resultou no objetivo principal desta pesquisa, que foi o de caracterizar a percepção de profissionais brasileiros expatriados para a Índia e a China sobre a sua qualidade de vida no trabalho (QVT). A pesquisa foi qualitativa, descritiva com características exploratórias. Procedeu-se a um estudo de caso e os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas com dez profissionais brasileiros expatriados para a China e Índia e com a gestora do Departamento de Expatriados, além de análise de documentos da empresa. A análise dos dados foi documental e de conteúdo, feita através da triangulação de dados. Os resultados demonstram que uma expatriação com QVT é a que atende às expectativas pessoais e profissionais do expatriado, além de se preocupar com sua repatriação. A QVT para os expatriados requer mais do que os oito elementos considerados por Walton (1979) como importantes para sua avaliação, requer também considerar a diferença cultural existente entre os países de origem e de destino, além da inclusão do significado do trabalho para o profissional e a sua adaptação cultural.

RESUMO A evolução do movimento da Nova Gestão Pública aumentou a pressão sobre as burocracias estatais no sentido de analisar os cidadãos como clientes. Nos últimos anos, as medidas implementadas pelos governos para tornar a administração mais focada no cidadão contemplaram ações pontuais e não integradas de melhoria na qualidade, na eficiência e na acessibilidade do atendimento aos cidadãos e na prestação dos serviços públicos. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do artigo é propor um modelo de gestão do relacionamento entre os cidadãos e a administração pública no processo de prestação de serviços públicos baseado em fatores do Marketing de Relacionamento, que, na percepção dos gestores públicos e dos próprios cidadãos, são considerados essenciais. O método adotado consistiu em uma pesquisa exploratório-descritiva, com uma abordagem mista. Primeiramente, uma fase qualitativa conduziu entrevistas com 11 gestores públicos responsáveis pelos canais de atendimento ao cidadão do Governo do Estado de Minas Gerais para identificar os fatores essenciais na percepção desse público. Com base na metodologia de Grounded Theory e na análise de conteúdo suportado pelo software Atlas TI identificou-se a percepção dos gestores responsáveis pelos canais de atendimento do governo mineiro os seguintes fatores do modelo: estratégia; gestão da informação; integração multicanal; programas de relacionamento; estrutura; tecnologia da informação e avaliação de desempenho. Posteriormente, durante a fase quantitativa, 354 cidadãos que utilizaram uma unidade de atendimento do governo mineiro preencheram um questionário da pesquisa. Na visão dos cidadãos, a partir de uma Análise Fatorial Exploratória, identificamos os seguintes: acompanhamento da prestação de serviço; consolidação dos canais de atendimento; forma de atendimento; recompensas e diversificação dos canais de atendimento.

RESUMO O esforço de pesquisa requer recursos financeiros, que são, em parte, públicos. O aumento da eficiência no seu uso pode assegurar uma compensação à Sociedade pelo investimento. Daí a relevância de se compreender os mecanismos e as particularidades da pesquisa científica que é desenvolvida, em boa parte, na Academia. Este trabalho teve como finalidade contribuir para o entendimento do processo de difusão de conhecimento no campo científico brasileiro, e em destaque, na Administração, investigando a sua dinâmica a partir da incorporação inicial, seguido de propagação e da consolidação. Para tanto, lançou mão de métodos bibliométricos e sociométricos, acompanhando a evolução da aplicação da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA), de largo emprego na pesquisa da eficiência na Administração Pública e em outros setores econômicos - em comparação com a absorção de outras técnicas matemáticas de apoio à decisão e também da própria sociometria. Trata-se de um estudo objetivo, quantitativo, longitudinal, com finalidade descritiva e explicativa. Os principais resultados encontrados foram o modelo de difusão e a quantificação da relevância da pós-graduação stricto sensu na assimilação da DEA, sobressaindo o papel de ligações fortes e da proximidade física e a alavancagem da produtividade acadêmica pela especialização, no caso, instrumental - situação observada em função do caminho metodológico seguido, distinto de outras pesquisas.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic spinal pain, especially low-back pain and neck pain, is a leading cause of years of life with disability. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of chronic spinal pain among individuals aged 15 years or older and to identify the factors associated with it. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional epidemiological study on a sample of the population of the city of São Paulo. METHOD: Participants were selected using random probabilistic sampling and data were collected via face-to-face interviews. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), EuroQol-5D, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Fagerström test for nicotine dependence and Brazilian economic classification criteria were used. RESULTS: A total of 826 participants were interviewed. The estimated prevalence of chronic spinal pain was 22% (95% confidence interval, CI: 19.3-25.0%). The factors independently associated with chronic spinal pain were: female sex, age 30 years or older, schooling level of four years or less, symptoms compatible with anxiety and high physical exertion during the main occupation. Quality of life and self-rated health scores were significantly worse among individuals with chronic spinal pain. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of chronic spinal pain in this segment of the population of São Paulo was 22.0%. The factors independently associated with chronic pain were: female sex, age 30 years or older, low education, symptoms compatible with anxiety and physical exertion during the main occupation.

Authors: Lima Camila S. , Fabián Marta Elena
Published: November 2016

Abstract Bats of the Phyllostomidae family exhibit different reproductive patterns in Neotropical regions and the strategy adopted depends on the regional climate. Here we studied the reproductive biology of Artibeus fimbriatus at the southern limit of their distribution in Brazil. This region has no rainy season, and the climate is characterized by high temperatures and variable photoperiods. We examined 129 A. fimbriatus females over several months, and used histological procedures where necessary in order to determine whether bats were pregnant. Females exhibited a long reproductive period and were pregnant from June until February. The reproduction events were found to be dependent on the photoperiod, but independent of annual accumulated precipitation. Our results show that at the southern limit of their distribution, A. fimbriatus exhibit seasonal-dependent reproductive patterns, with parturition events occurring during spring and summer, in which the days are longer and temperature is warmer.

Abstract Objective This research evaluated whether having dental treatment available in the primary health care centers of the Brazilian Unified Health System was associated with greater satisfaction with the services accessed. The offering of dental care within the health service that elders usually access may improve their satisfaction with the services as a whole. Material and method In this cross-sectional study, 401 elders living in the districts of Lomba do Pinheiro and Partenon in Porto Alegre, Brazil were interviewed. Elders were selected using a cluster sampling design process from census tract drawings. Result Poisson Regression revealed that age and dental treatment supply were associated with outcome, and age, number of teeth, and the presence of dental treatment were associated with a higher prevalence of satisfaction with health services. Conclusion These results provide new contributions for health system qualification because this study demonstrated the importance of having dental treatment available to improve the satisfaction of older people with the Primary Health Care (PHC) services accessed.

Abstract Introduction Cervical preflaring is an important step of the canal system instrumentation, but can lead to excessive enlargement or root perforation. Objective Evaluate the remaining dentin thickness in the mandibular molars of mesial roots using cone beam computed tomography: Gates-Glidden (crown-down); Gates-Glidden (step-back); LA Axxess and Easy Pro-Design. Material and method Were selected 40 lower molars mesial roots, which were scanned in a cone beam CT scanner before and after preparation. Were obtained five sections of the CT images with an interval of 1 mm from the furcation, and measured the thickness variation between the root canal to the root external portion in analysis software. Result The evaluation of the different levels showed no significance within the same group for the Gates-Glidden group. On the other hand, were observed difference for LA Axxess (p=0.002) and Easy Pro-Design (p=0.005). In the intergroup analysis, were observed difference in all levels, especially for Gates-Glidden in the ascendant order (ANOVA and Tukey). Conclusion Within the limitations of these study, is possible to conclude that the protocol with greater wear in the cervical risk area was the Gates-Glidden in step-back sequence, as the other groups were equivalent (p>0.05).

External cervical resorption: diagnostic and treatment tips
Authors: Consolaro Alberto ,   Universidade de São Paulo,  Brazil
Published: November 2016

ABSTRACT External cervical resorption is caused, almost exclusively, by dental trauma - especially those characterized by concussion - and is a dental disease to be diagnosed and treated accurately by endodontists. However, the vast majority of the cases is initially diagnosed by an orthodontist, due to the imaging possibilities in standardized documentations. Among the causes of external cervical resorption, it is common to mistakenly attribute it to orthodontic treatment, traumatic occlusion or even to chronic inflammatory periodontal disease. External cervical resorption is associated to dental trauma in several situations mentioned in this paper. In old cases, and eventually still nowadays, it may have been induced by internal tooth bleaching, which is increasingly less frequent in endodontically treated teeth. There are some tips to be followed and some care that must be taken during the diagnosis and treatment of external cervical resorption clinical cases. The present study lists foundations that will allow the professional to perform safely and accurately in each specific case. Some of these tips and care measures are of orthodontic nature.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare in vitro cytotoxicity and corrosion resistance of mini-implants from three different commercial brands used for orthodontic anchorage. Methods: Six mini-implants (Conexão(tm), Neodent(tm) and SIN(tm)) were separately immersed in artificial saliva (pH 6.76) for 30 and 60 days. The cytotoxicity of the corrosion extracts was assessed in L929 cell cultures using the violet crystal and MTT assays, as well as cell morphology under light microscopy. Metal surface characteristics before and after immersion in artificial saliva were assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The samples underwent atomic absorption spectrophotometry to determine the concentrations of aluminum and vanadium ions, constituent elements of the alloy that present potential toxicity. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA/Bonferroni tests were used for comparisons among groups with p < 0.05 considered significant. Statistical analysis was carried out with Graph Pad PRISM software Version 4.0. Results: No changes in cell viability or morphology were observed. Mini-implants SEM images revealed smooth surfaces with no obvious traces of corrosion. The extracts assessed by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry presented concentrations of aluminum and vanadium ions below 1.0 µg/mL and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: Orthodontic mini-implants manufactured by Conexão(tm), Neodent(tm) and SIN(tm) present high corrosion resistance and are not cytotoxic.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate in vivo changes in the color of esthetic elastomeric ligatures from different manufacturers. Methods: Four widely used commercial brands of elastomeric ligatures were selected and used in 20 adult patients in a split-mouth design. The ligatures were evaluated by orthodontists and patients in a double-blind manner on the day the ligatures were placed (T0) and 30 days after intraoral exposure (T1) by means of a system of staining scores. Groups were compared by Friedman test with p < 0.05. Results: Orthodontists and patients reported similar staining scores (p > 0.05). Results showed that all brands underwent significant staining when exposed to the intraoral environment. Modular-crystal MorelliTM (Sorocaba, SP, Brazil) showed the highest degree of staining with the median reaching the maximum value (3); while the other brands (3M UnitekTM, American OrthodonticsTM and GAC DentsplyTM) showed the median equal to 1 (p < 0.001). A large individual variability in the degree of staining was also found for all brands. Conclusions: All four brands of esthetic ligatures showed significant staining, which appeared to be more pronounced for the MorelliTM brand. Changes in color of the elastomeric ligatures were perceived similarly by patients and orthodontists. The industry needs to improve the color stability of esthetic ligatures.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been developed to be used as direct adjuncts in orthodontic treatment and have facilitated treatment of more complex orthodontic cases, including patients with dental impaction. Objectives: This clinical case reports the applicability of TADs in the orthodontic treatment of a patient with impacted mandibular second molars. Surgical and orthodontic procedures related to the use of miniplates were also discussed in this study. Conclusions: The use of temporary anchorage devices, such as miniplates, can be suggested as an alternative to treat patients with impacted mandibular second molars.

Method for management of an airport security control system
Authors: Kierzkowski Artur
Published: November 2016

This paper presents a practical method for managing an airport security control system. The proposed management system considers the influence of the operation of the check-in system on the stream of passengers reporting for security checks, which has so far been neglected. In this work, the check-in and security control systems were analysed separately. Accounting for this relationship allowed significant savings in work hours (and therefore reduction of costs) while maintaining the desired efficiency of the system (no queues). The method is based on seven steps. The first two steps address a method for estimating the relationship between the number of passengers entering the check-in system and the number of passengers entering the security control system. A confidence interval is determined for the aforementioned relationship. The following steps provide a method for determining the parameters of the security control system, including the probability density function (PDF) of the security control lane capacity, the hierarchy of security control lanes and the PDF of the security control system capacity. Step 6 provides methods for determining the expected stream of passengers leaving the check-in system and the final step provides an algorithm for determining the number of open security checkpoints.

Authors: Bonilla-Valencia Leticia , Castillo-Argüero Silvia , Martínez-Orea Yuriana
Published: November 2016

Background . Reproductive phenology studies in temperate forests of Mexico are scarce and none of them takes into account micro-environmental factors. As an example, there are no studies of the reproductive dynamics of Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis , the elderberry. 

Questions . How do environmental factors, at general and micro-scales are related to the production of flowers and fruits of Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis ?

Study species . Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis is distributed in Abies religiosa (fir) forests of Mexico and it is associated to areas of anthropogenic disturbance.

Study site and dates . Temperate forest in the Magdalena river basin, April 2012 to May 2013.

Methods . The percentages of flowers and fruits of 103 individuals were registered and precipitation, temperature, light and soil chemical properties were characterized as well. To find out the relation between reproductive phenology and the environmental factors we carried out Spearman´s correlations as well as a Canonical Correspondence Analysis for the micro- environmental factors.

Results . Percentages of flowers and fruits showed a relation with the general factors of precipitation, temperature and light. In the micro-environments with the highest light amounts the percentages of fruits were the highest, while the microenvironments with the highest nitrogen, organic matter concentrations and soil moisture, showed the highest flower percentages.

Conclusions . We showed that general factors as well as micro-environmental ones have an influence on the proportions of flowers and fruits of the study species in different ways, these knowledges show the reproductive dynamics of this species.

Racemic ketorolac clearance (CL) is significantly higher at delivery, but S-ketorolac disposition determines the analgesic effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pregnancy and postpartum period on enantiomer-specific (S and R) intravenous (IV) ketorolac pharmacokinetics (PKs). Data in women shortly following cesarean delivery (n=39) were pooled with data in a subgroup of these women that was reevaluated in the later postpartum period (postpartum group, n=8/39) and with eight healthy female volunteers. All women received single IV bolus of 30 mg ketorolac tromethamine. Five plasma samples were collected at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours and plasma concentrations were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. Enantiomer-specific PKs were calculated using PKSolver. Unpaired analysis showed that distribution volume at steady state (Vss, L/kg) for S- and R-ketorolac was significantly higher in women shortly following cesarean delivery (n=31) compared to postpartum group (n=8) or to healthy female volunteers (n=8). CL, CL to body weight, and CL to body surface area (CL/BSA) for S- and R-ketorolac were also significantly higher in women following delivery. In addition, S/R-ketorolac CL/BSA ratio was significantly higher at delivery. Paired PK analysis in eight women shortly following delivery and in postpartum group showed the same pattern. Finally, the simultaneous increase in CL and Vss resulted in similar estimates for elimination half-life in both unpaired and paired analysis. In conclusion, pregnancy affects S-, R-, and S/R-ketorolac disposition. This is of clinical relevance since S-ketorolac (analgesia) CL is even more increased compared to R-ketorolac CL, and S/R-ketorolac CL ratio is higher following delivery compared to postpartum period or to healthy female volunteers.

Published: November 2016

Learning objectives for human and society-centered basic medical education to improve physicians ability to practice in a Korean context were developed by the Korean Association of Medical Colleges in 2015-2016. The task-force committee identified eight domains for medical practitioners: human illness, reflection and self-improvement, patient safety, communication and collaboration, medical ethics, legal issues, social accountability, and professionalism. A total of 172 enabling learning outcomes and 42 terminal learning outcomes were identified by the workshop. The workshop members were representatives from 41 medical schools, the Korean Medical Association, and a scientific group (medical ethics, legal issues, and medical communication). The curriculum for “medical humanity and social medicine” was first published in 2007. The human and society-centered learning objectives that were developed will be revised annually.
Contributions of the Hfq protein to translation regulation by small noncoding RNAs binding to the mRNA coding sequence
Authors: Wroblewska Zuzanna , Olejniczak Mikołaj
Published: November 2016

The bacterial Sm-like protein Hfq is involved in the regulation of translation by small noncoding RNAs (sRNAs), which affect bacterial cell’s response to changing environmental conditions. sRNAs bind to complementary sequences in their target mRNAs to activate or repress translation. The majority of sRNAs bind to the 5ʹ-untranslated mRNA regions. However, recent studies showed that sRNAs can also regulate translation by binding to the mRNA coding sequence, even far downstream of AUG start codon. This review aims to summarize our current understanding of the contributions of Hfq to translation regulation by sRNAs binding the mRNA coding sequence.

Dalam lapangan ekonomi, khususnya di bidang perdagangan, pemerintah Belanda berusaha menguras kekayaan alam dan memperalat bangsa asing lainnya terutama Cina.Perbedaan warna kulit atau asal kebangsaan menentukan status sosial penduduk. Susunan masyarakat feodal ikut memberikan keleluasan dalam penerapan sistem ini. Dalam bidang pendidikan, rakyat Indonesia sangat jauh terbelakang.Musyawaratutthalibin memiliki beberapa ciri khas, antara lain koperatif, moderat, modern, dan pembaharu. Walaupun dalam faham keagamaan Musyawaratutthalibin lebih cocok dengan kaum tuha, tetapi dalam penampilan di bidang umum lainnya, organisasi ini terkesan bercorak modern. Guru-guru dan pengurus di berbagai cabang tampil dengan pakaian pantolan, pakai jas dan dasi. Para penggerak organisasi ini juga menggiatkan olahraga seperti sepak bola, bulu tangkis dan pancak silat untuk menarik para pemuda.
University teachers' action research: An adventure into uncharted waters?
Authors: Rahimi Ali , Madani Ahmad , Rahimi Hamid
Published: November 2016

One of the main approaches of educational systems in enhancing the teaching quality has been increasing teachers' action research skills. The objective of this study has been identification of university teachers' action research skills in higher education in Iran. The population under study has been all teachers at University of Kashan, Iran (283) from which 189 teachers have been randomly selected. The instrument employed has been a self-made questionnaire which assessed teachers' action research skills based upon four factors (diagnostic Skills, attitude towards action research, data collection skills, and practical action research abilities). The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach' Alfa as 0.852 and this is indicative of the high reliability and internal consistency of the instrument. This study clearly showed that a large number of university teachers have no information about the role of action research in improving the quality of teaching and learning. Data analysis showed that even noticeable differences are not observed in the behavior of teachers familiar with action research and those who are unfamiliar with it. The most interesting finding of this study was the discovery that all university teachers were able to recognize the issues and topics related to their profession (topic recognition skill) and are deeply preoccupied with such issues (attitude towards action research), but they lacked the necessary skills to cope with these issues and make the relevant practical decisions (data collection skills and practical action research). To overcome this deficiency, the researchers suggest in-service educational programs organized by university authorities with the aim of turning teachers to researchers familiar with action research skills.

Mistakes, Errors and Foul-Ups: Practice-Based Evidence for Evidence Based Practice
Authors: Turner Mark
Published: November 2016

In human medicine, the management of care to ensure safety for the service-user constitutes an important element of the patient ‘journey.’ The name given to this discipline is patient safety. It is founded upon those elements of good medical practice which help avoid or mitigate human error.  Investigations in the U.S. first highlighted the alarming extent of medical error: Brennan et al. (1991) concluded that in the state of New York, the overall rate of adverse events was approximately 4% for hospitalised patients, which equated to over 13,000 deaths a year. Doctors looked to other safety critical industries and aviation in particular (Reason 1995), to address this phenomenon: there is now a wealth of research on the impact of various safety initiatives on measurable rates of harm. The World Health Organisation’s ‘Safe Surgery Saves Lives’ initiative - a campaign that advocates the use of a surgical checklist to standardise aspects of peri-operative care - is one example of aviation methodology successfully employed in a clinical setting (van Klei et al. 2012). The critical importance of effective communication, leadership and situational awareness has also been discussed at length in the human patient safety literature.ObjectivesVeterinary patient safety is an analogous discipline and researchers have attempted to understand more about the topic of veterinary medical error. However, the evidence-base for veterinary patient safety is sparse.  This presentation aims to summarise the evidence to date and highlight the benefits in practice of an emerging subject. MethodA search of the terms veterinary patient safety on the PubMed database from 1990 to 2016 was performed.Findings15 articles were identified as contributing to the veterinary patient safety literature.OutcomeThe available literature has addressed a number of areas. The use of checklists in a clinical setting has been proven to reduce the incidence of specific undesirable events: alterations to a standard anaesthetic protocol in light of a clinical audit led to a demonstrable improvement in one North American university hospital (Hofmeister et al. 2014).Research into the progenitors of mistakes in practice reveal the effect of poor communication and a lack of team work (Kinnison et al. 2015). Research has also investigated vets’ attitudes toward error and their experiences of it. The psychological precursors to error in our industry seem to mirror those found in human medicine (Oxtoby et al. 2015). The evidence supporting a new attitude and approach to veterinary patient safety is growing.

Published: November 2016

The lecturer is one of the essential
components in the Higher Education system. Performance
assessment of lecturer needs to be conducted to measure
the lecturer capability based on the Tri Darma’s Higher
Education concept. Related to the nowadays technology
development, to conduct performance assessment of
lecturer can use the Decision Support System based on
several criteria as the assessment material. The provided
criteria in this paper seem to be the obtained criteria from
P2KP and BKD component. P2KP is performance
assessment of lecturer under the Badan Kepegawaian
Negara (BKN) supervision. Meanwhile BKD is
performance assessment of lecturer under the DIKTI
supervision. The lecturer criteria are taken from those two
components because the lecturers’ status cannot be
separated from the officer under BKN and educator under
the DIKTI support. It is expected that the criteria coming
from both components integration will be able to produce
performance assessment of lecturer objectively. The
method to proceed the assessment was Weighted Product
(WP). The examined data of the lecturers were the
Brawijaya University lecturers’ data. The final
examination data was conducted by taking the data
randomly from 20 Brawijaya University lecturers. The
final output from this Decision Support System is the
lecturers which are selected from three categories, which
are, less, normal, and good. It is expected that Decision
Support System is able to categorize the standard eligible
lecturer (Normal/medium category), and the lecturer
surpassing the standard (good category).

Abstract - This research proposed a system to identify Plasmodium falciparum on blood smear  using the neural network  backpropagation. Modified K-Means (MK-Means) is used to separate between the object with the background image because that method was able to equalize the value of fitness at all Center cluster so there is no dead center and can also cope with the local minimum value. The extraction of the features used in this study consists of color features i.e. calculation of the mean, standard deviation, skewness, curtosis and entropy of co-occurent matrix with the purpose to get the values of all the trait value image, obtained are then used to train a neural network with the backpropagation training algorithm. Method of backpropagation networks capable of acquiring knowledge even though there is no certainty, able to perform a generalization and extraction of a specific data pattern.

                        The image of  the preparations  blood smear  are classified using the method of  neural network Backpropagation. The test results obtained from Tropozoit with the accuracy 100%, scizon 80% and gametocytes 80%. Identification is then obtained outcomes the introduction with an average accuracy of 86,66%.
Anesthesia Involvement in Palliative Care
Authors: Faircloth Amanda C.
Published: November 2016

Palliative care teams require multidisciplinary support. While this is an emerging area in anesthesia practice, there are many avenues for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to share their unrivaled clinical knowledge. CRNAs may become involved with or consult on palliative sedation, medical management, interventional pain management, terminal wean/extubation, and organ donation. Additionally, CRNAs need to understand the unique needs of this patient population so that they can appropriately care for palliative care patients presenting to the operating room for palliative surgery. More research is needed to further explore CRNA involvement in palliative care. However, CRNAs have a specialized knowledge of pharmacology and physiology that perfectly complements the multidisciplinary palliative care team.
Anesthetic Implications of Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Authors: Greenwood Jennifer
Published: November 2016

The incidence of morbid obesity has tripled within the past 25 years in developed countries, with the highest rate of growth noted among people with body mass index (BMI) greater than 50. The physiologic derangements that accompany obesity affect almost every organ system leading to a vast array of comorbid conditions including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This review focuses on the unique perioperative management considerations that the nurse anesthetist must address when caring for these patients as well as the impact of obesity and OSA on postoperative complications and mortality rates. Current research is reviewed to highlight best practice recommendations for all phases of anesthetic management including implications for bariatric surgery and office-based practice.
