Nursing interventions and 30-day hospital readmissions: Scoping Review
Valente, Sara; Lopes, Marisa; Sobral Sousa , Salomé; Ribeiro, Sílvia; Abreu, Nuno; Alves, Eduardo; Caetano Pereira, RosárioIntroduction: Chronic diseases impact morbidity and mortality and are associated with frequent use of health services. Nursing interventions can contribute to reducing hospital readmissions. Objectives: This study aims to map the literature on nursing interventions and their impact on 30-day hospital readmissions. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute model, with t...
The impact of gait rehabilitation programs on length of hospital stay – Scoping...
Alves Sobral Sousa, Eunice Salomé; Valente, Sara; Lopes, Marisa; Ribeiro, Sílvia; Abreu, Nuno; Alves, EduardoIntroduction: Prolonged hospitalization and lack of activity during hospitalization are associated with functional decline, greater complications and increased health care costs. Gait programs are strategies to promote mobility levels that can reverse these outcomes. This study aims to map the literature on the impact of gait programs on the length of hospital stay. Methodology: Scoping review based on the Joan...
In Vivo Effect of a Nisin–Biogel on the Antimicrobial and Virulence Signatures ...
Cunha, Eva; Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Valente, Sara; Matos, Alice; Carreira, L.Miguel; Videira, Marta; Chambel, Lélia; Tavares, Luis; Oliveira, ManuelaABSTRACT - Periodontal disease is a relevant oral disease in dogs and nisin–biogel has been previously proposed to be used in its control. Enterococci, as inhabitants of the oral cavity with a high genetic versatility, are a reliable bacterial model for antimicrobial studies. Our goal was to evaluate the in vivo influence of the long-term dental application of the nisin–biogel on the virulence and antimicrobial...
Influence of the dental topical application of a nisin-biogel in the oral micro...
Cunha, Eva; Valente, Sara; Nascimento, Mariana; Pereira, Marcelo; Tavares, Luis; Dias, Ricardo; Oliveira, ManuelaPeriodontal disease (PD) is one of the most widespread inflammatory diseases in dogs. This disease is initiated by a polymicrobial biofilm in the teeth surface (dental plaque), leading to a local inflammatory response, with gingivitis and/or several degrees of periodontitis. For instance, the prevention of bacterial dental plaque formation and its removal are essential steps in PD control. Recent research revea...
Setting preliminary biometric baselines for new target sea cucumbers species of...
González-Wangüemert, Mercedes; Valente, Sara; Henriques, Filipe; Domínguez-Godino, Jorge A.; Serrao, EsterCommercial interest on sea cucumber species from the NE Atlantic and the Mediterranean is increasing.Holothuria polii, Holothuria tubulosa, Holothuria mammata and Holothuria arguinensis are the new targetspecies. The scarce biological and ecological knowledge on these species along their geographical distri-bution, is a major problem for their fisheries management. To address it, we carried out a morphometricst...
Effects of fishery protection on biometry and genetic structure of two target s...
Gonzalez-Wangueemert, Mercedes; Valente, Sara; Aydin, MehmetSea cucumber fisheries are now occurring in most of the tropical areas of the world, having expanded from its origin in the central Indo-Pacific. Due to the overexploitation of these resources and the increasing demand from Asian countries, new target species from Mediterranean Sea and northeastern Atlantic Ocean are being caught. The fishery effects on biometry and genetic structure of two target species (Holo...
Genetic diversity across geographical scales in marine coastal ecosystems: Holo...
Rodrigues, F.; Valente, Sara; Gonzalez-Wanguemert, MercedesCoastal lagoons are considered one of the most productive areas of our planet harboring a large variety of habitats. Their transitional character, between terrestrial and marine environments, creates a very particular ecosystem with important variations of its environmental conditions. The organisms that are able to survive on these ecosystems frequently experience strong selective pressures and constrictions t...
Determinantes da satisfação dos utentes dos cuidados primários : o caso de Lisb...
Ferreira, Pedro Lopes; Luz, António; Valente, Sara; Raposo, Victor; Godinho, Paula; Felício, Ermelinda DiasRESUMO - Os objectivos deste estudo são: (a) avaliar a percepção que os cidadãos utentes dos centros de saúde têm relativamente aos cuidados prestados; (b) entender mais as razões subjacentes a estas avaliações. Para esse fim realizou-se um inquérito retrospectivo a uma amostra de quase 4000 utentes dos centros de saúde das três sub-regiões da Região de Saúde de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo: Lisboa, Santarém e Setúbal...
