description: Inadequate removal of extracellular volume markedly increases blood pressure and contributes to high morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Advances in fluid management are needed to improve clinical outcomes. The aim of this quality improvement project was to examine the advantages of using a hematocrit-based, blood volume monitor (Crit-Line) for 12 months, as part of a clinic-wide, fluid management program in one dialysis facility. Forty-five individuals were receiving hemodialysis at one facility at project initiation and are included in this analysis. Monthly averaged clinical parameters (dialysis treatment information, blood pressures, blood volume, and laboratory data) were compared from Months 1–12. Analyses were conducted overall and according to the presence/absence of hypertension at Month 1 (Baseline). Antihypertensive medication changes were assessed for patients with hypertension at Month 1. Average hemodialysis treatment time (+10.6 minutes, p = 0.002), eKt/V (+0.25, p p p = 0.003). In hypertensive patients (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg in Month 1), there were significant differences in pre- and post-dialysis SBP between Month 1 and Month 12 (pre-hemodialysis: p = 0.02; post-hemodialysis: p = 0.0003), and antihypertensive medication use decreased in 29% of patients, while only 11% increased use. Treatment time in hypertensive patients increased by 15.4 minutes (p = 0.0005). This was a single, clinic-wide, quality improvement project with no control group. All data analyzed were from existing clinical records, so only routinely measured clinical variables were available and missing data were possible. During this year-long fluid management quality improvement project, decreases in post-dialysis SBP and increases in adequacy and treatment time were observed. Patients with hypertension at Month 1 experienced reductions in pre-dialysis SBP and antihypertensive medications.

description: The evaluation of lymph node metastases plays a crucial role in achieving precise cancer staging, influencing subsequent decisions regarding treatment options. Lymph node detection poses challenges due to the presence of unclear boundaries and the diverse range of sizes and morphological characteristics, making it a resource-intensive process. As part of the LNQ 2023 MICCAI challenge, we propose the use of anatomical priors as a tool to address the challenges that persist in mediastinal lymph node segmentation in combination with the partial annotation of the challenge training data. The model ensemble using all suggested modifications yields a Dice score of 0.6033 and segments 57% of the ground truth lymph nodes, compared to 27% when training on CT only. Segmentation accuracy is improved significantly by incorporating a probabilistic lymph node atlas in loss weighting and post-processing. The largest performance gains are achieved by oversampling fully annotated data to account for the partial annotation of the challenge training data, as well as adding additional data augmentation to address the high heterogeneity of the CT images and lymph node appearance.

description: Introduction : Le traitement du SAOS relève principalement de la technologie des appareillages. Depuis quelques années, les appareils APAP se sont développés. En plus d’offrir un plus grand confort au patient, l’ajustement automatique de la pression constitue un réel avantage. Le fonctionnement de ces appareils varie selon les fabricants, c’est pourquoi il convient d’investiguer les réactions des différentes machines. Cette comparaison apporte au clinicien une information objective du fonctionnement d’un appareil, pour des événements donnés. Matériel et méthodes : Le banc d’essai est composé de la résistance de Starling, représentant les voies aériennes et du simulateur ASL 5000, poumon artificiel. Ce montage a permis la simulation d’apnées obstructives et centrales, d’hypopnées et de ronflements. Trois APAP ont été comparées : Une AirSense 10, une DreamStation et une Prisma 20A. Les scénarios de 15 minutes ont d’abord été effectués en l’absence de fuites. Dans un second temps, une valve de fuites a été ajoutée. Résultats : En l’absence de fuites, on remarque des disparités entre les trois appareils. Ces différences apparaissent davantage lors d’événements obstructifs. Aucune machine ne réagit au ronflement en présence de fuites. De plus, l’AirSense 10 ne parvient pas à ajuster sa pression lors d’apnées obstructives et d’hypopnées. Discussion : Le comportement des appareils aux scénarii sans fuites reflète en majorité les résultats déjà démontrés dans la littérature. En présence de fuites, la DreamStation démontre une meilleure adaptation que les autres appareils. De futures études comparant l’adhérence du patient selon la marque d’APAP devraient être envisagées.

description: We model the TESS light curve of the binary system RX Dra, and also first calculate a lot of theoretical models to fit the g-mode frequencies previously detected from the TESS series of this system. The mass ratio is determined to be $q$=0.9026$^{+0.0032}_{-0.0032}$. We newly found that there are 16 frequencies (F1-F7, F11-F20) identified as dipole g-modes, two frequencies (F21, F22) identified as quadrupole g-modes, and another two frequencies (F23, F24) identified as g-sextupole modes, based on these model fits. The primary star is newly determined to be a $γ$ Dor pulsator in the main-sequence stage with a rotation period of about 5.7$^{+0.7}_{-0.2}$ days, rotating slower than the orbital motion. The fundamental parameters of two components are firstly estimated as follows: $M_1$=1.53$^{+0.00}_{-0.17}$ M $_{\odot}$, $M_2$= 1.38$^{+0.18}_{-0.00}$ M $_{\odot}$, $T_1$=7240$^{+490}_{-44}$ K, $T_2$=6747$^{+201}_{-221}$ K, $R_1$=1.8288$^{+0.0260}_{-0.0959}$ R $_{\odot}$, $R_2$= 1.3075$^{+0.0450}_{-0.2543}$ R $_{\odot}$, $L_1$=8.2830$^{+1.8015}_{-0.6036}$ L $_{\odot}$ and $L_2$= 3.4145$^{+0.1320}_{-0.1843}$ L $_{\odot}$. Our results show that the secondary star is in the solar-like pulsator region of the H-R diagram, indicating that it could be a pulsating star of this type. Finally, the radius of the convective core of the primary star is estimated to be about 0.1403$^{+0.0206}_{-0.0000}$ R$_{\odot}$.

description: Two‐dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is often combined with metal oxides for energy‐storage applications, owing to its unique properties. Here, we compare the electrochemical performance of Nb2O5‐rGO and amorphous carbon‐coated‐Nb2O5 composites, synthesized in similar conditions. The composite made of Nb2O5 and amorphous carbon (using 1,3,5‐triphenylbenzene as carbon source) outperforms the Nb2O5‐rGO counterpart as a high rate anode electrode material in Li‐ion and Na‐ion half‐cells and hybrid supercapacitors, delivering specific capacities of 134 mAh g−1 at 25 C against 98 mAh g−1 for the rGO‐based composite (in Li electrolyte) and 125 mAh g−1 at 20 C against 98 mAh g−1 (in Na electrolyte). The organic molecules, which are the precursor of the amorphous carbon, control the size and coat the metal oxide particles more efficiently, leading to more extensive carbon‐oxide contacts, which benefits the energy‐storage performance.

description: Acinetobacter baumannii is a worldwide occurring nosocomial pathogen, the natural habitats of which remain to be defined. Recently, white stork nestlings have been described as a recurring source of A. baumannii. Here, we challenged the hypothesis of a general preference of A. baumannii for avian hosts. Taking advantage of campaigns to ring free-living birds, we collected cloacal swab samples from 741 black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) in Poland, tracheal and cloacal swabs from 285 songbirds in Poland as well as tracheal swabs from 25 songbirds in Slovenia and screened those for the growth of A. baumannii on CHROMagar™ Acinetobacter. Of the 1,051 samples collected only two yielded A. baumannii isolates. Each carried one variant of the blaOXA-51-like gene, i.e. OXA-71 and OXA-208, which have been described previously in clinical isolates of A. baumannii. In conclusion, our data do not support a general preference of A. baumannii for avian hosts.

description: Objective:To summarize the published literature on utilities for health states associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), including end-stage renal disease (ESRD).Research design and methods:A literature review was conducted (MEDLINE, MEDLINE in process, EMBASE, NHS EED, HEED, CEA Registry, EconLit, RePEc, and HTA) to identify relevant articles published between January 2000 and July 2013. Results were assessed for relevance by two reviewers in line with the study protocol.Main outcome measures:For eligible studies, data extracted included patient population, health states, methods used to elicit utility values, and the source of the preference values.Results:Twelve studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. They reported various utility and/or disutility scores for different DKD health states using a range of patient populations, utility approaches, and sources of preference values. The most common study country was the USA. Most of the studies collected data at one time point, but two had a longitudinal design. Three different utility instruments – EuroQoL (EQ-5D), Quality of Well-Being Scale (QWB), and 15-dimensional (15D) – were used to elicit utilities indirectly. The Time Trade-Off (TTO) approach was used in one study; another undertook a meta-analysis of published utility studies. Utilities were identified for different health states including DKD, ESRD–no dialysis, ESRD–dialysis, and transplant. One study reported utilities for patients by type of transplant. There was variation in values for the same health state between studies, and none of the studies reported utilities for the different stages of DKD. In the studies that undertook a comparison, utility values for those with DKD were generally found to be lower than those without DKD.Conclusions:This literature review highlights that at present utility scores (or disutility penalties) exist for relatively few health states in DKD. Further studies are needed to produce accurate and comprehensive utility scores that differentiate between different DKD health states.

description: Background:The risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) increases with number of risk factors (RFs). However, the combined effect from multiple RFs on the incidence of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) among US patients without AF has not been fully examined.Methods and results:Truven MarketScan Medicare Supplemental database was used to establish cohorts of patients ≥65 years old with and without AF. Index date was first occurrence of AF diagnosis (AF patients) or first medical encounter (non-AF patients) during the inception period from 2010 through 2011. Incidences of ischemic stroke/TIA in relation to number of baseline RFs (congestive heart failure, hypertension, advanced age, diabetes, and prior stroke/TIA, myocardial infarction) were determined during the follow-up period from the index date through March 2013. A total of 158,199 patients were included in the AF cohort and 1,181,273 patients in the non-AF cohort. Approximately 51% of AF patients had ≥3 RFs versus 18% in non-AF patients. Ischemic stroke/TIA were observed in 24,680 and 104,154 patients in the AF and non-AF cohorts, yielding incidence rate (SD) of 7.3 (0.05) and 3.2 (0.01) per 100 person-years, respectively. In the AF cohort, incidence rate of ischemic stroke/TIA was 2.3, 4.9, 9.4, and 16.9 per 100-person years for 0, 1–2, 3–4, and 5–6 RFs, respectively, compared with the corresponding rate of 1.3, 2.8, 6.4, and 12.3 per 100 person-years for the non-AF cohort. This positive association between the number of risk factors and incidence rates within each cohort was consistently observed in sensitivity analyses.Conclusion:In a large cohort of elderly patients without AF, the risk of ischemic stroke/TIA increased substantially in the presence of multiple RFs, highlighting potentially unmet medical needs. This observation implies that future studies may be warranted to investigate the effect of prophylactic anticoagulation in high risk non-AF patients.

description: A new copper(II) coordination polymer, [Cu(PIA)·2H2O]n (1) [H2PIA = 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TGA, powder, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis shows that each PIA2− in 1 bridges three Cu(II) ions, and likewise each Cu(II) ion connects to three PIA2− ligands, giving a 3-D framework with utp topology and left-/right-handed helical channels. Interestingly, two such identical frameworks interlock with each other to generate a twofold interpenetrated structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. In addition, the thermal stability and the magnetic properties of 1 have been investigated.

description: In this study, we search for Globular Clusters (GCs) in the inner halo of the Circinus galaxy using a combination of observational data. Our dataset includes observations from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea Extended Survey (VVVX), optical data from Gaia Release 3 (DR3), and observations from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). These multiple data sources provide a comprehensive basis for our analysis. Our search was concentrated within a 50 kpc radius from the centre, leading to the identification of 93 sources that met our established criteria. To ensure the reliability of our findings, we conducted multiple examinations for sample contamination. These examinations incorporated tests based on Gaia Astrometric Excess Noise (AEN), the Blue Photometer (BP)/Red Photometer (RP) Excess Factor (BRexcess), as well as comparisons with stellar population models.
 This analysis confidently classified 41 sources as genuine GCs, as they successfully passed both the 3$σ$ Gaia AEN and BRexcess tests. We used the ISHAPE program to determine the structural parameters (half-light radii) of the GC candidates, with a peak effective radius of 4$\pm$ 0.5 pc. The catalogue mainly consists of bright GCs. Relationships between colour, size, and distance were found in the GC candidates, alongside confirmation of bi-modality in colour distributions.

description: Background:The objective of this study was to assess the timely disclosure of results of company-sponsored clinical trials related to all new medicines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) during 2012. This is an extension of the previously reported study of trials related to all new medicines approved in Europe in 2009, 2010 and 2011, which found that over three-quarters of all these trials were disclosed within 12 months and almost 90% were disclosed by the end of the study.Methods:The methodology used was exactly as previously reported. Various publicly available information sources were searched for both clinical trial registration and disclosure of results. All completed company-sponsored trials related to each new medicine approved for marketing by the EMA in 2012, carried out in patients and recorded on a clinical trials registry and/or included in an EMA European Public Assessment Report (EPAR), were included. Information sources were searched between 1 May and 31 July 2014.Outcome measures and results:The main outcome measure was the proportion of trials for which results had been disclosed on a registry or in the scientific literature either within 12 months of the later of either first regulatory approval or trial completion, or by 31 July 2014 (end of survey). Of the completed trials associated with 23 new medicines licensed to 17 different companies in 2012, results of 90% (307/340) had been disclosed within 12 months, and results of 92% (312/340) had been disclosed by 31 July 2014.Conclusions:The disclosure rate within 12 months of 90% suggests the industry is now achieving disclosure in a timely manner more consistently than before. The overall disclosure rate at study end of 92% indicates that the improvement in transparency amongst company-sponsored trials has been maintained in the trials associated with new medicines approved in 2012.

description: Introduction La personne trans* est pour diverses raisons sujette à des inégalités de santé. Actuellement, la littérature scientifique sur les soins physiothérapeutiques pré- et postopératoires lors d’une chirurgie d’affirmation de genre homme à femme, reste rare. L’objectif est de rassembler les connaissances afin de remédier à notre niveau à l’ignorance et aux inégalités qu’elles occasionnent. Méthode Deux intervenantes trient et analysent les sources. Les bases de données : CINAHL complete, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Serval, OpenGrey et Google sont consultées. La qualité des sources n’est pas évaluée. Résultats Parmi les six sources, trois préconisent une intervention pré- et postopératoire. 75% des patient.e.s manifestent des symptômes en postopératoire. Le taux de réussite à la dilation est de 93% avec une intervention physiothérapeutique en préopératoire. Discussion Les témoignages et l’expérience de vie trans* sont peu considérés, la communauté est ainsi victime d’un processus d’ignorance. Les résultats de la recherche sont hétérogènes en raison de la variété de la population et des thérapies proposées. Les résultats obtenus dans les sources ne sont pas fiables car les outils de mesure ne sont pas validés pour la population. L’intervention d’un.e physiothérapeute est cependant pertinente dans le contexte postopératoire. Conclusion Le manque d’intérêt et de connaissances physiothérapeutiques participe entre autres au processus d’ignorance. La production de savoir sur la population trans* lutte contre l’ignorance et de ce fait, contre les inégalités. Cela soulève un questionnement éthique en physiothérapie quant au professionnalisme et à la qualité de l’accompagnement.

description: This paper aims at introducing a methodology to compute stable coupled state-space models for dynamic substructuring applications by introducing two novel approaches targeted to accomplish this task: a) a procedure to impose Newtons's second law without relying on the use of undamped RCMs (residual compensation modes) and b) a novel approach to impose stability on unstable coupled state-space models. The enforcement of stability is performed by dividing the unstable model into two different models, one composed by the stable poles (stable model) and the other composed by the unstable ones (unstable model). Then, the poles of the unstable state-space model are forced to be stable, leading to the computation of a stabilized state-space model. Afterwards, to make sure that the Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) of the stabilized model well match the FRFs of the unstable model, the Least-Squares Frequency Domain (LSFD) method is exploited to update the modal parameters of the stabilized model composed by the pairs of complex conjugate poles. The validity of the proposed methodologies is presented and discussed by exploiting experimental data. Indeed, by exploiting the FRFs of a real system, accurate state-space models respecting Newton's second law are computed. Then, decoupling and coupling operations are performed with the identified state-space models, no matter the models resultant from the decoupling/coupling operations are unstable. Stability is then imposed on the computed unstable coupled model by following the approach proposed in this paper. The methodology proved to work well on these data. Moreover, the paper also shows that the coupled state-space models obtained using this methodology are suitable to be exploited in time-domain analyses and simulations.

description: Background:Inadequate removal of extracellular volume markedly increases blood pressure and contributes to high morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients. Advances in fluid management are needed to improve clinical outcomes. The aim of this quality improvement project was to examine the advantages of using a hematocrit-based, blood volume monitor (Crit-Line) for 12 months, as part of a clinic-wide, fluid management program in one dialysis facility.Methods:Forty-five individuals were receiving hemodialysis at one facility at project initiation and are included in this analysis. Monthly averaged clinical parameters (dialysis treatment information, blood pressures, blood volume, and laboratory data) were compared from Months 1–12. Analyses were conducted overall and according to the presence/absence of hypertension at Month 1 (Baseline). Antihypertensive medication changes were assessed for patients with hypertension at Month 1.Results:Average hemodialysis treatment time (+10.6 minutes, p = 0.002), eKt/V (+0.25, p p p = 0.003). In hypertensive patients (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg in Month 1), there were significant differences in pre- and post-dialysis SBP between Month 1 and Month 12 (pre-hemodialysis: p = 0.02; post-hemodialysis: p = 0.0003), and antihypertensive medication use decreased in 29% of patients, while only 11% increased use. Treatment time in hypertensive patients increased by 15.4 minutes (p = 0.0005).Limitations:This was a single, clinic-wide, quality improvement project with no control group. All data analyzed were from existing clinical records, so only routinely measured clinical variables were available and missing data were possible.Conclusions:During this year-long fluid management quality improvement project, decreases in post-dialysis SBP and increases in adequacy and treatment time were observed. Patients with hypertension at Month 1 experienced reductions in pre-dialysis SBP and antihypertensive medications.

description: Introduction : Le réentrainement physique permet d’améliorer la tolérance à l’effort et de diminuer la sensation de dyspnée des patients souffrant de bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive (BPCO). Afin de pallier les inconvénients des supports respiratoires déjà utilisés lors de séances de réentraînement, l’oxygénothérapie à haut débit (OHD) pourrait, par ses effets physiologiques bénéfiques, être une technique prometteuse pour ces patients. Objectif : Cette revue de la littérature a pour objectif de vérifier si l’OHD améliore le temps d'endurance et diminue la sensation de dyspnée chez des patients atteints de BPCO lors de leur réentrainement à l’effort en comparaison à l’oxygénothérapie à faible débit (COT). Méthodologie : Quatre articles ont été retenus après une recherche documentaire effectuée de septembre 2020 à avril 2021 dans les bases de données PubMed, Cinahl, PEDro, Cochrane Library et Embase. Deux outcomes, la dyspnée des participants cotée sur l’échelle de Borg modifiée ainsi que leur temps d’endurance d’exercice, ont permis d’évaluer l’efficacité de l’OHD. Résultats : Sur un total de 285 participants, trois des quatre articles démontrent une augmentation significative du temps d’endurance ainsi qu’une réduction significative de la dyspnée lors des séances de réentrainement sous OHD. Conclusion : Des effets bénéfiques non négligeables de l’OHD ont été soulignés lors du réentrainement à l’effort chez les patients atteints de BPCO. La diminution de la dyspnée et l’augmentation du temps d’endurance jouent donc un rôle prépondérant sur l’efficacité de la réhabilitation pulmonaire. Toutefois, ces résultats sont à considérer avec prudence au vu des populations et interventions disparates observées entre les études.

description: This paper describes the deployment and experimentation architecture of the Internet of Things experimentation facility being deployed at Santander city. The facility is implemented within the SmartSantander project, one of the projects of the Future Internet Research and Experimentation initiative of the European Commission and represents a unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility. Additionally, this facility supports typical applications and services of a smart city. Tangible results are expected to influence the definition and specification of Future Internet architecture design from viewpoints of Internet of Things and Internet of Services. The facility comprises a large number of Internet of Things devices deployed in several urban scenarios which will be federated into a single testbed. In this paper the deployment being carried out at the main location, namely Santander city, is described. Besides presenting the current deployment, in this article the main insights in terms of the architectural design of a large-scale IoT testbed are presented as well. Furthermore, solutions adopted for implementation of the different components addressing the required testbed functionalities are also sketched out. The IoT experimentation facility described in this paper is conceived to provide a suitable platform for large scale experimentation and evaluation of IoT concepts under real-life conditions.

description: In the well-known Minimum Linear Arrangement problem (MinLA), the goal is to arrange the nodes of an undirected graph into a permutation so that the total stretch of the edges is minimized. This paper studies an online (learning) variant of MinLA where the graph is not given at the beginning, but rather revealed piece-by-piece. The algorithm starts in a fixed initial permutation, and after a piece of the graph is revealed, the algorithm must update its current permutation to be a MinLA of the subgraph revealed so far. The objective is to minimize the total number of swaps of adjacent nodes as the algorithm updates the permutation.
 The main result of this paper is an online randomized algorithm that solves this online variant for the restricted cases where the revealed graph is either a collection of cliques or a collection of lines. We show that the algorithm is $8 \ln n$-competitive, where $n$ is the number of nodes of the graph. We complement this result by constructing an asymptotically matching lower bound of $Ω(\ln n)$.

description: Introduction La pratique du leadership transformationnel dans le sport consiste à tirer le meilleur parti de l'athlète en se concentrant sur la relation avec son entraîneur et son environnement immédiat. L'influence du leadership est d'autant plus positive sur les performances que le sportif peut évoluer dans un climat de confiance. Objectif L’objectif de cette revue est de rassembler et d’analyser les différentes études existantes sur le sujet dans le but de déterminer si le leadership transformationnel a une influence sur la performance sportive. Méthodologie La recherche de littérature a été effectuée dans différentes bases de données en combinant mots clés et opérateurs booléens. Un processus de sélection a été appliqué pour inclure les études qui répondaient aux critères de création d’une revue de la littérature quantitative de type narratif. Résultats Quatre articles ont été retenus. Ils évaluent les comportements de leadership transformationnel des entraîneurs envers leurs équipes. Les résultats de la revue indiquent que le leadership transformationnel a généralement une influence positive sur la performance sportive. Cependant, toutes les facettes de ce style de management n’ont pas le même degré d’influence. Conclusion Les comportements de leadership tels que la formulation d’une vision, la stimulation intellectuelle et le traitement individuel de chaque athlète sont les facettes ayant la plus grande influence positive sur la performance des sportifs. Des tests empiriques plus robustes sont préconisés pour encore mieux comprendre l’influence du leadership dans le monde du sport.

description: A new copper(II) coordination polymer, [Cu(PIA)·2H2O]n (1) [H2PIA = 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TGA, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis shows that each PIA2- in 1 bridges three Cu(II) ions, and likewise each Cu(II) ion connects to three PIA2- ligands, giving a 3-D framework with utp topology and left/right-handed helical channels. Interestingly, two such identical frameworks interlock with each other to generate a two-fold interpenetrated structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. In addition, the thermal stability and the magnetic properties of 1 have been investigated.

description: Introduction : L’incidence du cancer va s’accroître de manière notable durant les prochaines années à venir. Les prises en charge de la douleur vont également se complexifier et le système de santé va devoir relever de nouveaux défis. Objectif : Que les infirmiers puissent améliorer la gestion de la douleur cancéreuse en prenant en compte les obstacles liés au système de santé. Méthode : Il s’agit d’une revue de littérature. La recherche a été effectuée sur les bases de données de CINAHL et PubMed à l’aide de MeSH Terms et de descripteurs. La théorie du caring bureaucratique de Marilyn Anne Ray a été choisi comme cadre de référence ainsi que le concept de « Total Pain » de Cicely Saunders. Résultats : La collaboration interdisciplinaire permet d’intervenir précocement dans les situations de soins et de développer des stratégies communes qui permettent d’améliorer la qualité de vie du patient et de ses proches. La formation des infirmiers permet de garantir une meilleure connaissance et attitude auprès des patients que ce soit en rapport avec l’évaluation, le traitement, la documentation ou la mise en place de protocoles en lien avec la douleur. Discussion : La collaboration interdisciplinaire et la formation vont de pair. Ce sont des piliers qui permettent d’accroître la qualité des soins ainsi que de permettre une meilleure qualité de vie des patients en diminuant leurs douleurs. Conclusion : Promouvoir la collaboration interdisciplinaire au sein des équipes ainsi que la formation continue et post-grade permet de garantir une meilleure qualité des soins et de diminuer les douleurs des patients.

description: Contexte : Le vieillissement physiologique est l’un des facteurs favorisant la déshydratation. Dans les établissements médico-sociaux (EMS), il est fréquent de constater que les résidents ne s’hydratent pas suffisamment et les conséquences physiologiques liées à la déshydratation sont nombreuses. Bien que cela soit une problématique connue et identifiée, elle en reste néanmoins très fréquente dans ces établissements de soins. Objectif : L’objectif de ce travail est d’identifier les obstacles et facilitateurs à l’hydratation auprès de personnes âgées vivant en EMS afin de proposer les interventions infirmières favorables à la prévention de la déshydratation. Méthodes : Huit articles ont été retenus, dans CINHAL et PubMed, traitant de la problématique. Les résultats de ces études ont été analysés de manière critique puis ont fait l’objet d’une synthèse selon des thématiques communes aux auteurs. Ils ont ensuite été mis en perspective avec le cadre théorique « Modèle de promotion de la santé » de Nola Pender. Résultats : L’ensemble des résultats des articles analysés montrent que les principales interventions infirmières consistent à identifier les obstacles à l’hydratation relatifs à la personne, son environnement et à l’équipe soignante afin de pouvoir proposer des stratégies d’interventions pertinentes en fonction des contextes. Discussion : Les résultats permettent d’identifier les démarches pertinentes en fonction des contextes pour la prévention de la déshydratation de la personne âgée en EMS mais offrent également des perspectives de recherche afin de mieux guider la pratique infirmière
