No full textKOPE /Kalendar Oriented Program Efforts/ is a computer program that establishes control over project efforts to assure management of meeting a specified completion date. With the appropriate input data, KOPE computes the starting and completion dates, the manning level for each activity, and the composite manning level for the program
Влияние конструкции порошкового ингалятора на отложение лекарственного вещества в дыхательных путях
No full textDisodium chromoglycate particles were labelled with pure gamma-radiator, 99m Tc, using the co-precipitation technique based on spray drying. Radioactive drug particles were mixed, with lactose carrier and filled into hard gelatin capsules. Seven healthy volunteers inhaled drug doses using Spinhaler, I. S. F., Berotec, and Rotahaler dry powder devices. The fractional deposition of drug particles in the upper airways and lung region were monitored using a gamma camera. The fraction of the dose relained in the powder inhaler was the smallest for I. S. F. and especially for Berotec inhalers. These devices have narrower air channel constructions with a smaller wall surface area than the Spinhaler and Rotahaler devices. Thus the sticking of the drug particles onto the plastic walls was less probable for the first mentioned devices. The drug particles from all the dry powder inhalers seemed to be more able to follow the inspired air stream without depositing in the upper airways than previously documented for pressurized metered dose aerosols. I. S. F. and Berotec inhalers with narrow air channels gave the greatest lung deposition of the inhaled drug, particles. Thus the design of the dry powder inhaler was noticed to have a remark able effect both on the emptying of the capsules as well as on the redispersion of the powder mixture.
Documentation of Recreation Therapy and Leisure Opportunities in Long Term Care
No full textThe documentation of Recreation Therapy and Leisure Opportunities in Long-term Care
The Recreation Therapy discipline at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (SHSC) has undergone a series of research initiatives to ensure a patient focused philosophy is integrated into their practice. The purpose of the study is the development of documentation procedures that will enable the recreation therapy practitioners to engage in authentic and professional documentation of the residents’ experiences in recreation therapy and leisure opportunities based on a patient focused philosophy.
This research project followed an action research methodology and was guided by a hermeneutic framework adapted from Karkainen and Eriksson (2004). The recreation therapists at SHSC were involved in all aspects of the project as co-research participants. This project employed a variety data collection techniques including focus groups, a hermeneutic dialogue, self-reflective activities and active application sessions.
The information collected through the various data collection phases in this project led to the creation of a new documentation framework and associated sample documentation, which allow for a more patient focused documentation process. A series of quality indicators were also developed in this project to help authentically express the experiences in leisure and recreation of the residents living at SHSC.
This research project has added to the growing base of knowledge focused on the integration of a patient focused care philosophy into the recreation therapy practice at SHSC
