产前分娩预演对初产妇自然分娩成功率及产后并发症的影响

[目的]探讨产前分娩预演对初产妇自然分娩成功率和产后并发症的影响.[方法]收集2016年9月至2018年10月在本院妇产科分娩的初产妇86例,按产前分娩教育方式分为观察组(n=42)和对照组(n=44).对照组孕妇产前接受常规产前健康教育课程培训,观察组在对照组的基础上进行分娩预演实践.比较两组自我效能感量表(GSES)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)和焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分及自然分娩成功率和产后并发症发生率等.[结果]与对照组相比,观察组分娩总产程和第一、二、三明显缩短;新生儿窒息率和产后SDS、SAS评分均明显降低;自然分娩成功率、GSES评分均明显提高,其差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05).观察组产后出血、感染、尿潴留、乳汁淤积发生率及总并发症发生率均低于对照组(P<0.05).[结论]采用常规产前健康教育培训结合产前分娩预演实践的产前管理方式,可有效提高初产妇自然分娩成功率,缩短产程,减少产后并发症的发生,值得临床推广应用.     

SEPT9在结直肠癌早期检测中的研究进展

SEPT9是13个Septin同源基因家族之一，参与调控众多过程，包括细胞分裂、细胞极化、细胞迁移以及线粒体分裂等。研究表明在众多肿瘤中，SEPT9都发挥着作用，尤其在结直肠肿瘤研究领域，外周血SEPT9基因甲基化检测更是研究热点，其检测的敏感度和特异度相对于其他糖蛋白肿瘤标志物、粪便隐血试验和粪便免疫化学测试等更具有优势，相对于结直肠镜等侵入性检查更节约成本，同时有着更好的依从性。本文对SEPT9的功能、与结直肠癌之间的关系以及对结直肠肿瘤的筛查及诊断价值做一综述。     

Utility of the Tétanos Quick Stick® in the vaccine catch-up of adult migrants without proof of prior vaccination

BackgroundUnknowing immunity status make migrants vaccine catch-up difficult. The interest of using a rapid tetanus immunotest as the Tétanos Quick Stick® (TQS®) to assess immunity status against tetanus has been evaluated in emergency rooms and it is now commonly used. The study aim was to evaluate TQS® as a tool for migrants’ vaccine catch-up.MethodsFrom December 2018 to February 2019, a prospective study was performed and included consecutively migrants who attented to the primary medicine outconsultation of a health care centre in Paris. Migrants above 18, without any records of tetanus immunization were included and a TQS® was performed during a medical consultation. Adapted vaccine catch-up was then proposed. Immunity against tetanus among migrants, factors associated with positive TQS® and costs savings were evaluated.ResultsTQS® test was positive for 32% of the 310 included patients. In the univariable analysis, factors associated to the presence of a positive TQS® test were a female gender (OR = 1.69 CI95% [1.02–2.80]) and an urban living in the country of origin (OR = 1.79 CI95% [1.07–3.02]). In the multivariable analysis, these factors were not significantly associated to a positive TQS®. Anamnesis was not correlated to the immunity status: only 26% of the migrants who reported vaccinations in childhood, adolescence and adulthood had a positive TQS® test. The use of TQS® test allowed savings of 6,522 US$ as compared to the immediate catch-up strategy for the 310 patients.ConclusionThe TQS® test is an acceptable, simple, rapid and cost saving test that could find a place in the migrants’ vaccine catch-up.     

Addressing Substance Use in Adolescents: Screening,Brief Intervention,and Referral to Treatment

Adolescent substance use is a national public health crisis. The most commonly used substances among adolescents are nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana. Use of these substances during adolescence has serious adverse effects on brain development, with impairments that can endure into adulthood. Advanced practice nurses in primary care can address substance use in the adolescent population with the use of evidence-based interventions, such as Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). This article describes trends in adolescent substance use and use of the SBIRT intervention for low, medium, and high-risk use in this population.
