Objective: To evaluate the frailty syndrome in the elderly nursing diagnosis in elderly with chronic diseases of a health district of the Federal District. Method: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with elderly patients served at the Basic Health Units, who presented arterial hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus. The following were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini-Mental State Examination, anthropometric data, evaluation of sarcopenia (measured by body composition), muscle strength and functional capacity, and the identification of NANDA-I nursing diagnosis. A statistical software was used for data analysis. Results: Participation of 78 elderly people, of which 93.6% of had Impaired memory, 93.6% had Impaired physical mobility, 82.1% had Fatigue, 76.9% had Impaired ambulation, 53.8% had Dressing self-care deficit, 43.6% had Activity Intolerance, 35.9% had Social Isolation, 30.8% had Hopelessness, 29.5% had Feeding self-care deficit, 29.5% had Bathing self-care deficit, 12.8% had Toileting self-care deficit, and 10.3% had Decreased cardiac output. Conclusion: The nursing diagnosis Frailty Syndrome in the Elderly allows a multidimensional view of the elderly. Since one factor can cause health problems in several health fields, nurses must intervene early, plan and implement actions in the short and long term.
In this work, we performed tight binding calculations of the electronic structure of III-V semiconductors compounds and their alloys based on the Extended Hückel Theory (EHT), where the Hückel parameters for the binary compounds were generated following a simulated annealing procedure. In particular, this article is focused on the dependency between band gap and the applied pressure and also the alloy composition.
Objetivos: descrever os métodos de limpeza e desinfecção de superfícies e os produtos alternativos ao álcool para a desinfecção de superfícies para limitar a transmissibilidade do SARS-CoV-2. Método: revisão de literatura descritiva e exploratória. Resultados: A desinfecção química com saneantes tem alto, intermediário e baixo potencial germicida. Ácido peracético e peróxido de hidrogênio são de alto nível; o álcool 70%, hipoclorito de sódio 1%, iodopovidona 1% e compostos fenólicos, de nível intermediário e os quaternários de amônia, de baixo nível. Conclusão: os produtos com alto e intermediário potencial germicida podem ser alternativas ao álcool 70% na desinfecção de superfícies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
