Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica sobre a qualidade de vida de pacientes com insuficiência renal, submetidos à hemodiálise. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nos bancos de dados LILACS e MEDLINE. Foram selecionados estudos publicados no período de 2011 a 2013 e analisados 24 artigos. Resultado: Os resultados indicaram que a qualidade de vida dos pacientes submetidos à hemodiálise está relacionada a fatores, físicos, psicossociais, mentais, sociais e a presença e apoio da família. Conclusão: O desenvolvimento de estudos que envolvem a qualidade de vida do indivíduo pode auxiliar os profissionais da saúde na instrumentalização de uma prática assistencial que realmente contemple a multidimensionalidade do cuidado a pacientes com insuficiência renal submetidos à hemodiálise.
Estudo bibliométrico sobre infecções relacionadas à assistência a saúde em pessoas idosas Bibliometric study on infections related to health care in the elderly Estudio bibliométrico sobre infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria en las personas mayores RESUMÉNObjetivo: Mapear la producción científica en la principal colección de la Web los Science sobre infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia a la salud en las personas mayores. Método: Estudio bibliométrico sobre Infecciones Relacionadas a la Atención de Salud en Personas de edad avanzada realizado en la principal colección de la Web of Science. La recolección de datos ocurrió en octubre de 2017 utilizando los siguientes descriptores: "cross infección" y "idos" unidos por medio del término boleano AND. Los datos recogidos en la Web of Science se exportaron al software HistCite. Resultados: Se identificaron 31 artículos publicados en 27 periódicos, escritos por 130 autores vinculados a 58 instituciones, ubicadas en 16 países. Para la consecución de estos artículos se utilizaron 1207 referencias, con una media de aproximadamente 39 referencias por artículo. Se identificaron los 5 artículos más citados. Conclusión: En general, los estudios se ocuparon en investigar diversos tipos de infecciones en ancianos y las posibles relaciones con la infección cruzada desencadenada principalmente por profesionales de salud u otros tipos de cuidadores. Descriptores: Bibliometría; Infecciones relacionadas con la asistencia sanitaria; Ancianos. Como citar este artigo:Vieira JPPN, Moura SRB, Andrade HS, Oliveira JRB, Rodrigues CVS, Sousa LRM.

Objective: The study aimed at analyzing the international scientific publications on coronavirus infection and patient safety in health care. Methods: This research is a bibliometric study carried out by searching published articles in theISIWebofKnowledge/WebofScience database and analyzing the results through bibliometric analysis software HistCite. The selected time frame was between 1970 and 2020, and we used the following descriptors: “coronavirus infection” OR “severe acute respiratory syndrome” OR “COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2”. Results: We found 5,434 publications in 1,491 different journals; they are written by 18,274 authors linked to 4,064 institutions, which are located in 104 countries. In the citations analysis, the h-index was 155, and the average of citations each article received was 30.79. Conclusion: During the studied period, the Web of Science database showed two peaks of publications on coronavirus infections.The first comprised 768 articles published between 2003 and 2004 when a new coronavirus caused an outbreak of severe acute respiratory failure. The second consisted of 576 articles published between 2019 and 2020, during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic COVID-19. The knowledge on coronavirus infection should be widely shared so that new studies can be designed and the world scientific community can contribute to improving patient safety in healthcare and preventing new pandemics of severe acute respiratory infection caused by coronaviruses.
Aneurysm of the cervical internal carotid artery is a rare condition, which can trigger severe neurologic complications. The authors report a case of a female patient of 54 years, presenting as a progressive dysphonia, which revealed it to be an aneurysm of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery. Endovascular treatment was used.
Objective: to analyze the international scientific production on elderly patient safety in Intensive Care Unit. Method: bibliometric study carried out on ISI Web of Knowledge / Web of ScienceTM database, with the search terms: “Patient Safety”, “Elderly”, “Intensive Care Units”, performed from exporting these data for the bibliometric analysis software HistCiteTM. Results: 103 publication records were identified, in 85 different journals, written by 679 authors that are associated with 224 institutions, located in 30 countries. In analysis of number of citations count, the h-index value is equal to 24. Conclusion: the theme is presented in a broad and diverse way, without demonstrating the existence of a good articulation among the studies, authors and institutions around the world. There is a need to construct knowledge networks in the field that make possible further studies able to contribute to improve elderly patient safety in intensive care.
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.
