13. Análise dos fatores de risco para peritonite bacteriana espontânea em pacientes cirróticos e do perfil da flora infectante com o uso de antibióticos profiláticos / Analysis of risk factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic patients and the ascitic fluid microbiology with use of prophylactic antibiotics
INTRODUCTION: Invasive procedures and the decline of the liver function have been considered predisposing factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in cirrhotic patients. In spite of the predominance of gram negative, the incidence of gram positive agents is increasing in literature. OBJETIVES: To analyze the risk factors for SBP in cirrhotic patie

14. Genes codificadores de fatores de virulÃncia, inflamaÃÃo e avaliaÃÃo nutricional da infecÃÃo intestinal associada com Escherichia coli enteroagregativa em crianÃas de Fortaleza, CearÃ, Brasil / Virulence factor coding genes, inflammation and nutritional evaluation of intestinal infection associated with enteroaggregative Escherichia coli in children from Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a pathotype of diarrheagenic E. coli, which has increasingly been identified as an etiological agent of diarrheal disease. This purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of EAEC and examine the importance of some virulence-related genes in the severity of the diarrheal disease caused by this microorgani

15. Nosocomial infections epidemiology and in-hospital mortality in a neonatal intensive care unit of a regional reference hospital. São Paulo, Brazil / Epidemiologia da infecção hospitalar e mortalidade intra-hospitalar de uma unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal em hospital de referência regional de São Paulo
Nosocomial infections rates varies widely among Neonatal Centers suggesting that risk factors can be modify by assistance quality, newborn characteristics and infection control practices. The aim of this study was to analyze nosocomial infections epidemiology and mortality rate among neonates admitted to a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Geral de It

16. Atopic dermatitis: correlation between skin barrier parameters in non involved skin and level of disease / Dermatite atópica: correlação entre estado da barreira cutânea em pele não lesionada e atividade da doença
Introdução: Dermatite atópica (DA) é uma doença cutânea crônica, predominante na infância, cujo sintoma principal é o prurido de intensidade variável, e os sinais são classicamente as lesões de padrão eczematoso. Há anormalidades na formação e função da barreira cutânea, que estão presentes não somente nas lesões cutâneas como na pele

17. The assessment of quality of life in adult patients with atopic dermatitis / Avaliação da qualidade de vida dos pacientes adultos com dermatite atópica
A dermatite atópica (DA) é uma dermatose inflamatória crônica que persiste no adulto em 40% dos casos. Foram avaliados 75 adultos com DA, utilizando um questionário geral (SF-36) e um específico (DLQI). O escore de gravidade empregado foi o EASI, e o prurido e a insônia foram avaliados por medidas subjetivas. Os aspectos emocionais da QV na DA foram o

18. "Expressão das proteínas Fas e Bcl-2 em células mononucleares de crianças e adolescentes com lúpus eritematoso sistêmico" / Expression of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins on mononuclear cells from children and adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus
In order to verify the expression of Fas and Bcl-2 proteins on lymphocytes and their relationship with disease activity 38 patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and 25 healthy controls were studied. The measurements showed that percentages of lymphocytes T CD3+ and CD8+ and B lymphocytes positively stained for Fas antigen and mean fluores

19. A decision theory approach to measuring severity in illness.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of a multiattribute utility model for measuring the severity of a patient's illness. A single medical problem (an analysis of the costs and benefits of different burn care systems) was used to test the model. Physicians estimated the relative importance of and severity functions for criteria influen

20. A study of the relationship between severity of illness and hospital cost in New Jersey hospitals.
In response to concerns over the equity of diagnosis-related group (DRG)-based prospective payment, the New Jersey Department of Health conducted a Severity of Illness evaluation study in which severity of illness, DRG, and uniform cost information were collected for 76,798 patients in 25 hospitals. Severity of illness was measured using the Computerized Sev

21. Lessons from evaluating an automated patient severity index.
OBJECTIVE: To report lessons learned from evaluation of an automated interface between a hospital clinical information system and a severity of illness index. DESIGN: A system was developed to convert coded electronic patient findings from the HELP System at LDS Hospital into the attributes used by the Computerized Severity Index (CSI) to calculate a severit

22. Simplified Acute Physiology Score III: a project for a new multidimensional tool for evaluating intensive care unit performance
The Simplified Acute Physiology Score III Outcomes Research Group is developing an international multidimensional instrument for the global evaluation of intensive care unit performance. Among its specific objectives are the update of a severity of illness index (Simplified Acute Physiology Score) with a mortality prediction equation, with the hindsight of r

23. CRIB (clinical risk index for babies) in relation to nosocomial bacteraemia in very low birthweight or preterm infants.
Positive blood cultures in very low birthweight or preterm infants usually reflect bacteraemia, septicaemia, or failure of asepsis during sampling and lead to increased costs and length of stay. Rates of nosocomial, or hospital acquired, bacteraemia may therefore be important indicators of neonatal unit performance, if comparisons are adjusted for difference

24. The structure and reliability of health belief indices.
A wealth of research using the Health Belief Model provides empirical evidence of the model's utility in predicting health, illness, and sick role behaviors. Until recently, however, little attention has been paid to the important issues of the validity and reliability of measures used to assess various health belief dimensions. Using factor analysis, our st
