“…The Ursi and Galvão (2006) tool was adopted to extract the data from the studies. It has also been used in earlier studies (Silveira et al 2010;Vasconcelos et al 2011;Vilar et al 2013). To decide which articles should be included, two reviewers (L.C.L.J.…”

Non-pharmacological interventions to manage fatigue and psychological stress in children and adolescents with cancer: an integrative review

Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most stressful and prevalent symptom in paediatric oncology patients. This integrative review aimed to identify, analyse and synthesise the evidence of non-pharmacological intervention studies to manage fatigue and psychological stress in a paediatric population with cancer. Eight electronic databases were used for the search: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, LILACS, EMBASE, SCOPUS, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library. Initially, 273 articles were found; after the exclusion of repeated articles, reading of the titles, abstracts and the full articles, a final sample of nine articles was obtained. The articles were grouped into five categories: physical exercise, healing touch, music therapy, therapeutic massage, nursing interventions and health education. Among the nine studies, six showed statistical significance regarding the fatigue and/or stress levels, showing that the use of the interventions led to symptoms decrease. The most frequently tested intervention was programmed physical exercises. It is suggested that these interventions are complementary to conventional treatment and that their use can indicate an improvement in CRF and psychological stress.

“…Tables 1 and 2 describe the population, interventions, aims, and major findings of the 21 included studies: 3 meta-analyses, 12-14 6 RCTs, 16-21 3 quaziexperimental, 22-24 3 observational cohort, [25][26][27] and 6 laboratory studies. [28][29][30][31][32][33] The overarching principles of CVAD securement and dressing to prevent CVAD failure and complication described within the included studies centred around providing a barrier to microbial colonization and contamination, reducing internal and external motion, and the effect of dressing disruption.…”

Objective: To describe the underpinning principles involved in central venous access device (CVAD) securement and dressing products to prevent CVAD failure and complications through a synthesis of research studies. Background: Functional, dependable CVADs are a necessary part of patient care. Dressing and securement products are used to prevent CVAD failure and complications, but there is a large variety of products available for clinicians to access, with variable effectiveness. Methods: A narrative review of studies describing the mechanisms for CVAD securement and dressing products to prevent failure and complication was undertaken. After a systematic search, 20 clinical and laboratory studies were included in the review. Discussion: The major mechanisms by which CVAD dressing and securement products prevent failure are providing a barrier to microbial contamination and motion reduction. CVAD securement and dressing products provide these functions using coating, adhesion, antimicrobial properties, absorbency, and moisture vapor transmission without causing irritation to skin and maintaining visibility of the insertion site. The complexity of patients requiring CVAD securement and dressing means that universal recommendations across CVAD populations and broad generalization of studies from single populations (eg, intensive care) or devices (eg, peripherally inserted central catheters) are ill advised. Conclusions: CVAD securement and dressing products provide important, multifaceted functions to prevent CVAD failure and complication.

“…To get rid of using synthetic anti-bacterial reagents, tea tree oil (TTO) was considered as a model drug owing to its wide spectrum of anti-bacterial properties with a view to using this SFP-based membrane as a patch for treating acne. 11 SFP and TTO were utilized herein to produce a novel transparent membrane and to replace frequently used synthetic polymers, such as the poly urethane, 12 because the use of naturally derived materials for medications is receiving renewed interest in the biomaterial community. 13 …”

In this work, the drop-casting method was used to mix silk with poly(vinyl alcohol) to generate a composite membrane silk fibroin protein/poly(vinyl alcohol) transparent membrane, whose porosity and permeability can be controlled by adding (or not adding) NaCl, for increasing its permeability. The silk fibroin protein/poly(vinyl alcohol) transparent membranes did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity when an appropriate amount of tea tree oil was added. When the volume of tea tree oil that was added to the non-porous silk fibroin protein membrane or porous silk fibroin protein membrane increased above 12.50 µL/patch, the viability of 3T3 fibroblast cells began to fall to below 80%. Accordingly, 3.12, 6.25, and 12.50 µL were added in the following anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and in vivo animal studies. Although the silk fibroin protein/poly(vinyl alcohol) transparent membrane exhibits a slight anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effect, when an appropriate amount of tea tree oil was added, our membranes show great enhancement in inhibition of formation of NO in lipopolysaccharideinduced macrophages (Raw 264.7) and the following anti-bacterial ability. In the experiments on the inhibition of the proliferation of Propionibacterium acnes, the silk fibroin protein/poly(vinyl alcohol) transparent membrane exhibited a mild anti-bacterial effect (with a bacteriosis ratio of ~78%), but when 3.12-12.50 µL tea tree oil was added, the inhibition ratio reached approximately 84%-99%. In the evaluation of the animal model, we found that increasing the numbers of treatment days markedly increased the inhibition of P. acnes in the experimental group.
