The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty comparing exchange with fresh intermediate-term cold storage solution after lenticule prepar...
In the Cornea Preservation Time Study, 508 donor corneas had lenticules prepared by the eye bank with fresh solution exchange (Fresh group) and 283 with reuse of the original solution (Original group)...
The 3-year graft success rate (95% confidence interval) was 93.4% (90.7%-95.3%) in the Fresh group and 95.2% (91.8%-97.2%) in the Original group (adjusted hazard ratio for graft failure = 0.64, 95% co...
The use of the original intermediate-term cold storage solution did not reduce the 3-year graft success rate compared with exchanging with fresh solution after lenticule preparation for Descemet strip...
In light of the worldwide shortage of nurses and to maximize the effectiveness of the nursing care available, it is important to investigate the components of the care regularly provided by nursing as...
This study was designed to investigate the time allocation of NAs in completing job tasks necessary to meet the needs of residents in nursing care units at an NH in China....
A time-motion method and nonparticipatory observations were used to collect data. Two postgraduate students observed 15 NAs' time expenditure and nursing content simultaneously during day shifts for 3...
The 119.6 hours of observation included 8,907 discrete observed activities. In terms of the care provided to meet the needs of residents, the most time-consuming activities were physical health care (...
Because of their lack of formal nursing training and skills, NAs pay more attention to meeting the physiological needs of residents while ignoring their mental needs. Moreover, their effectiveness in ...
By utilizing time study methodologies, one can ascertain how long it takes a skilled person to complete a task with a specific level of quality. Time study aids in the selection of different job execu...
BACKGROUND : Discharge medicine lists provide patients, carers and primary care providers a summary of new, changed or ceased medicines when patients discharge from hospital. Hospital pharmacists play...
ASD patients include a variety of motor deficits; however, these issues have received less scientific attention than other ASD symptoms. Due to understanding and behavioral difficulties, it might be d...
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) uses customized and advanced software and hardware to create a digital 3D reality in which all of the user's senses are stimulated with computer-generated sensations an...
The patient-physician clinical encounter is the cornerstone of medical training, yet residents spend as little as 12% of their time in direct patient contact....
To use a real-time locating system (RTLS) to characterize intern work experiences in the hospital, understand factors associated with time spent at patients' bedsides, and inform future interventions ...
This cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019 (ie, the academic year 2018-2019). Internal medicine residents from postgraduate year 1 (interns) at an academic medical ce...
Main outcome was time (in minutes) at the bedside; the unit of analysis was a 24-hour intern day or interval of time within the day (eg, rounding period). Descriptive statistics are reported overall, ...
Data from 43 of 52 interns (82.7%) encompassing 95 275 hours of observations were included for analyses. Twenty-six interns (60.5%) were women. Interns were detected for a mean (SD) of 722.8 (194.4) m...
The findings of this cross-sectional study support previous evidence suggesting that interns spend only a small proportion of time with hospitalized patients. The differences in time spent in patients...
The study aimed to examine the correlation between underlying medical conditions and gait analysis parameters as well as determine the key determiners of fall risk....
This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 120 hospitalized older adults, recruited from a medical center in northern Taiwan, completed three instruments: the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, a demograph...
The results showed that longer TUG test times, slower walking speeds, or shorter stride lengths are related to higher fall risk. The new finding was that longer TUG test times and slow gait speeds wer...
This study confirms that gait analysis parameters are significantly correlated with fall risk among older inpatients and that TUG is an important indicator of frailty, prefrailty, or metabolic state. ...
The loss of vision leads to behavioral and motor adaptations that do not necessarily translate to good functioning with regards to daily tasks....
To investigate differences in functional mobility in adults with total blindness, and analyze differences in spatiotemporal gait variables with and without the use of a cane, and wearing shoes or bare...
We used an inertial measurement unit to assess the spatiotemporal parameters of the gait and functional mobility in seven subjects with total blindness and four sighted participants during the timed u...
Significant differences between groups were found in total TUG test time and in the sub-phases when the blind subjects executed the TUG barefoot and without a cane (p < .01). Other differences were fo...
To analyze temporal and kinematic parameters of chronic Low-Back Pain (cLBP) subjects compared to healthy subjects during Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) execution implemented with an Inertial Measurement ...
Observational cross-sectional study. Thirty-one subjects with cLBP [(19 females - 61%), mean age 61 ± 19] were allocated to the case group, and 14 healthy [(10 females - 71%), mean age 62 ± 6] subject...
Mean TUG time to completion [12.2 ± 3.5 s for cLBP; 8.1 ± 0.9 s for healthy] and the most of sub-phases duration significantly differed between groups (p < 0.05). As for kinematic parameters, signific...
Instrumented TUG application into a cLBP population provides valuable information about movement behaviors with a deeper assessment of objective functional impairment and disability in respect of the ...
