Potential nutritional and pharmacological treatment of glycocalyx alterations during sepsis
No full textDuring sepsis, a combination of pathophysiological insults disrupts the glycocalyx. the thickness of the glycocalyx is correlated with parameters of disease severity, making it a potential new and independent target for therapeutic strategies in sepsis. The aim of this review was to examine potential beneficial effects of nutritional and pharmacological measures on glycocalyx alterations during sepsis and their timing.

Intensive care units follow-up: A scoping review protocol
No full textIntroduction Increasing numbers of patients are surviving critical illness, leading to growing concern about the potential impact of the long-term consequences of intensive care on patients, families and society as a whole. These long-term effects are together known as postintensive care syndrome and their presence can be evaluated at intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up consultations. However, the services provided by these consultations vary across hospitals and units, in part because there is no validated standard model to evaluate patients and their quality of life after ICU discharge. We describe a protocol for a scoping review focusing on models of ICU follow-up and the impact of such strategies on improving patient quality of life. Methods and analysis In this scoping review, we will search the literature systematically using electronic databases (MEDLINE - from database inception to June 15th 2020) and a grey literature search. We will involve stakeholders as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute approach developed by Peters et al. The research will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Ethics and dissemination This study does not require ethics approval, because data will be obtained through a review of published primary studies. The results of our evaluation will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and will also be disseminated through presentations at national and international conferences

Evidence-based decision-making on offie accommodation: Accommodation Choice Model
No full textBased on a literature review, case studies, and personal involvement in accommodation processes, the authors developed an “Accommodation Choice Model” in order to support organization-centered accommodations. The model involves making, coordinating, elaborating, and implementing accommodation choices through a consciously designed process. The model includes four steps that focus on the substantive choices, a “drive belt” for steering the process, a lynchpin for aligning and testing these steps and process related issues, and a playing field in which the process occurs. The assumption is that a structural and coordinated progression through substantive and procedural choices in a number of steps will generate a better accommodation that is appropriate to the organization. In addition, the more explicit approach to making choices will make the process run more smoothly.This chapter discusses the various components of the Accommodation Choice Model, as well as critical success factors in its application. The model is illustrated with practical applications in the development of new accommodation strategies.Accepted Author ManuscriptReal Estate Managemen
Radiochemical measurements on neutron sources
No full textThe investigations described in this thesis relate to the development of an accurate method for the comparison of strengths of weak neutron sources with different spectra. This is part of a programme for the establishment of an absolute neutron standard. A detailed review of the preparation and properties of various portable neutron sources at present in use has been presented. The advantages of the stoichiometric compound, Radium Beryllium Fluoride (RaBeP4 ), as a reproducible neutron standard have been discussed. A survey of the existing methods for the absolute and relative strengths of neutron sources has been made and the need for an accurate method for the comparison of strengths of weak neutron sources with different spectra has been pointed out. The principle of thermalisation followed by physical integration, with a solution of indium sulphate, has been employed for developing a new method for the measurements of relative neutron source strengths. Using this method, the relative strength of the proposed RaBeF 4 standard source with respect to a standard radium-I--beryllium source was determined with an accuracy better than 1%. When the absolute strength of the latter source is determined, the absolute strength of the RaBeF4 source can be given with this accuracy. Investigations were also carried out to estimate the extent of loss of fast neutrons from the radium-(-beryllium sources by reactions with oxygen and sulphur present in aqueous moderator solutions normally used for neutron strength comparisons. The principle involved was to compare the relative strengths in an aqueous medium and an organic medium containing less oxygen, but having the seine hydrogen and indium contents. Since no systematic errors are involved, the value obtained is considered more reliable
