Introduction

Identifying ophthalmic diseases associated with increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) may enable better screening and understanding of those at risk of AD.

Thyroid surgery: what has changed from (1970 to 2004): a Turkish perspective

Background

Turkey is an endemic region for goiter. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changing factors concerning thyroid disease and thyroid surgery in a referral center in Turkey.

Methods

This study was a retrospective evaluation of reports of patients who underwent surgery for thyroid disease at Hacettepe University Medical School between the years 1970 and 1974, 1980 and 1984, 1990 and 1994, and 2000 and 2004.

Results

A total of 1,270 patients were included in the study. There were 140, 141, 402, and 587 patients in the 1970-1974, 1980-1984, 1990-1994, and 2000-2004 groups, respectively. In the past decade, the use of ultrasonography has increased significantly; more thyroid cancer cases have been diagnosed and more extensive surgical procedures have been applied.

Conclusions

During the past 40 years, significant changes have occurred in the treatment of thyroid disease, particularly diagnostic tools, pathologies, and surgical procedures.     

比马前列素治疗青光眼不良反应临床分析

目的研究张家口地区青光眼患者应用比马前列素治疗后的不良反应情况及患者对不良反应的态度,以指导临床合理用药。方法选择2012年2月至2012年6月于张家口市第四医院进行治疗的48例青光眼患者作为研究对象,在应用比马前列素治疗前和6个月后观察眼睑、虹膜色素沉着程度,并对睫毛增长及硬度情况和眼睑毫毛状态进行评估。同时通过调查问卷形式评价患者关于不良反应主观判断情况。结果应用比马前列素治疗后有77.1%的患者出现不良反应情况,其中有22例出现睫毛长长,25例睫毛变硬,19例眼睑毫毛增加,3例眼睑色素沉积,24例虹膜色素沉积。不良反应出现情况的主、客观评价结果除眼睑色素沉积与虹膜色素沉积存在差异外(P<0.05),其他基本一致。结论大多数患者能够意识到不良反应的发生。在使用比马前列素进行治疗前需要对患者进行充分的解释,进行治疗时也应及时进行细致地监测以减少不良发应的损害。     

《易经＆#183;比卦》理论对构建和谐护患关系的启示

本文论述了《易经》理论对构建和谐护患关系的作。用，指出在构建和谐护患关系过程中，理解和信任是基础，彼此诚心以对是前提，护士应有一颗仁德之心，宽厚待人，严于律己，并在建立护患朋友式过程中，要把握好分寸，掌握好尺度，以便构建良好的护患关系。     

经皮肾镜碎石取石术中患者体温变化的观察

目的:探讨在经皮肾镜碎石取石术中两种不同温度灌洗液对患者体温变化的影响,减少术后多种并发症的发生。方法:将50例经皮肾镜碎石取石术患者随机分为观察组(25例)和对照组(25例)。对照组使用室温(22℃)生理盐水灌洗液,观察组使用加温后(35℃)生理盐水冲洗,观察两组手术患者术中体温变化及寒战的发生率。结果:两组手术开始后30分钟、90分钟、120分钟及手术结束后体温比较差异均有统计学意义(P0.05);两组寒战发生率比较差异有统计学意义(P0.01)。结论:术中使用加温灌洗液,可减少经皮肾镜碎石取石术患者术中低体温和寒战的发生。     

INTERACT in VA Community Living Centers (CLCs): Training and Implementation Strategies

Studies have shown that hospitalizations of nursing home (NH) residents lead to complications and poorer quality of life. The Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers (INTERACT) Quality Improvement (QI) Program assists licensed NH staff in avoiding such hospitalizations. INTERACT aims to improve the management of acute changes in residents' conditions by providing tools to help staff recognize subtle changes in condition, improve communication, and implement QI strategies. INTERACT has been vetted by national clinical leaders and experts in long term care (LTC). Multiple NHs have implemented INTERACT and it has been adopted in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. QI initiatives involve adaptation to the organizational context in which it is being implemented. We report adaptation of the INTERACT QI program and implementation training into Veteran Affairs (VA) Community Living Centers (CLCs) (VA equivalent NH) and summarize the efforts to introduce and train nursing leadership to integrate the intervention into selected CLCs.     

肾脏疾病患者的骨密度变化

目的：探讨肾脏疾病患者的骨密度变化情况。方法应用具有丰富经验和专业知识的临床检验人员进行研究组肾脏疾病患者和对照组健康人群骨密度检测工作,记录两组骨密度检测结果,分析不同肾小球滤过率对骨密度影响效果,通过统计分析获得结论。结果通过研究组肾脏疾病病人与对照组健康人群临床资料分析可知,研究组骨密度显著低于对照组;对比五组肾脏疾病患者骨密度可知,A组骨密度最高而E组骨密度最低,即肾功能越差则骨密度越低,对比结果差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论肾脏疾病患者骨质疏松发生率将显著增加,临床医生应准确掌握肾脏疾病与骨密度相关性特征,对骨质疏松高危人群提供针对性的干预措施,有效缓解肾脏疾病患者骨密度下降速度,减少其骨质疏松发生率,保障患者生活质量及生命安全。
