The association between probable post-COVID-19 condition and sleep-related para...

The long-term effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on sleep remain poorly known. We evaluated the association between probable post-COVID-19 condition and changes in sleep quality and quantity before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection in a consecutive sample of non-hospitalized adults. Individuals were identified with SARS-CoV-2 infection in 2020 at the central laborator...

Development and In Vitro Validation of Antibacterial Paints Containing Chloroxy...

The establishment of self-disinfecting surfaces is an important method to avoid surface contamination. Recently, paints with antimicrobial properties have been developed to be applied on different surfaces, avoiding contamination with pathogens. In this work, self-disinfecting paints containing Chloroxylenol (CLX), Terpineol (TRP), and a mixture of both substances were developed. The goal was to evaluate and va...

Breast cancer patient-reported outcomes on level 1 and level 2 oncoplastic proc...

Purpose In breast cancer management not only mortality and surgical morbidity measurements are important but also patient satisfaction indexes. The authors evaluated the satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) using the breast-conserving therapy (BCT) and breast reduction (BR) modules of BREAST-Q®. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that analyzed breast cancer patients consecutively submitt...

Initial experience with targeted axillary dissection after neoadjuvant therapy ...

Background: Targeted axillary dissection (TAD) combines sentinel node biopsy (SNB) with the removal of the previously marked metastatic node. TAD is a promising concept for axillary restaging in node-positive breast cancer patients with pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). We aimed to evaluate TAD feasibility in this context. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted...

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis as Rare Presentation of Herpes Simplex Virus Encepha...

Herpes simplex virus 1 is a prevalent neurotropic pathogen that infects and establishes latency in peripheral sensory neurons. It can migrate into the central nervous system and cause encephalitis. The association between herpes simplex virus encephalitis and cerebral venous thrombosis is rare, with a very limited number of case reports described in the literature, despite the recognized thrombogenic effects of...

Triple POCUS: A New Approach to an Old Problem

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the most serious and life-threatening clinical presentation of venous thromboembolism, and difficult to diagnose. Triple point-of-care-ultrasonography (POCUS) of the lung, heart and leg veins is a multiorgan approach that may help to evaluate patients suspected of having PE, in combination with existing protocols and computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA). We present the ca...

Outcomes of Non-Pharmacological Nursing Interventions’ on Patients with Chronic...

Considering the high number of people who experience chronic pain, with need of differentiated care, it is relevant to identify non-pharmacological nursing interventions in pain control and health gains. The objective of this paper is to identify nursing intervention and outcomes of non-pharmacological measures in chronic pain. The results of the analysis of literature allow us to synthesize some efficient inte...
