Scientific production in nursing education field provide important contributions to professional formation and nursing practice. Since we believe this perspective, we carried out a survey aimed at identifying and analyzing nursing education-related articles, building empiric categories from the collected data. This revision is a bibliographical, descriptive and quantitative survey using as sour...

Gain control of primary afferent neurotransmission at their intraspinal terminals occurs by several mechanisms including primary afferent depolarization (PAD). PAD produces presynaptic inhibition via a reduction in transmitter release. While it is known that descending monoaminergic pathways complexly regulate sensory processing, the extent these actions include modulation of afferent-evoked PA...

Tobacco use is a major health problem that is estimated to cause 4 million deaths a year worldwide. Nicotine is the main addictive component of tobacco. It acts as an agonist to activate and desensitize nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). A component of nicotine's addictive power is attributable to actions on the mesolimbic dopaminergic system, which serves a fundamental role in the acq...

is that patients build up cognitive representations of the gestures. Their inaccuracy shows up independently from the motor actions used for expressing their content. Brass and Heyes note that the old literature on neurological patients with apraxia is usually neglected but themselves neglect both old and new studies on apraxia. These studies cast severe doubts on the postulated superiority of ...

INTRODUCTION Many clinicians consider chronic gastritis to be equivalent to Helicobacter pylori infection. However, it is known that there are numerous other causes of the condition. AIM Determination of the incidence of gastritis in patients with dyspepsia referred for diagnostic endoscopy of the upper part of the digestive tract, identification of the parts of the stomach most frequently af...

Purpose: Identification of the term efficiency on basis literature subject and description author's concept leadership efficiency. Design/Methodology/Approach: Despite constant interest in issues efficiency, does not provide a clear answer to emerging doubts regarding essence possibility its maximization. Efficiency is an ambiguous variously interpreted concept. The article reviews conceptual f...

than 14 days of corticosteroid use3; thus, administration of steroids should not be delayed while awaiting biopsy. For our patient, temporal artery biopsy could have been performed as an outpatient procedure, especially given her high risk for developing delirium as an inpatient. Her age, multiple comorbidities, and history of delirium increased her vulnerability to recurrent delirium. A hospit...

Adolescence is a crucial developmental period characterized by specific behaviors reflecting the immaturity of decision-making abilities. However, the maturation of precise cognitive processes and their neurobiological correlates at this period remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate whether a differential developmental time course of dopamine (DA) pathways during late adolescence could ...

Some preliminary processing results are presented for a dataset obtained with the Solar Optical Telescope on the Hinode satellite. The idea of the project is to record, nearly simultaneously, the full velocity and magnetic-field vectors in growing active regions and sunspot groups at a photospheric level. Our ultimate aim is to elaborate observational criteria to distinguish between the manifes...
