The role of barrier protection ain pressure ulcer prevention.
This article considers the anatomy and physiology of the skin, the natural protection the skin provides in relation to barrier protection and the importance of barrier protection in pressure ulcer prevention. The current national pressure ulcer agenda including high impact actions and the SSKIN care bundle, along with their implementation within one NHS Health Care Trust are discussed.
متن کاملComputer simulations of efficacy of air-cell-based cushions in protecting against reoccurrence of pressure ulcers.
For individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) who depend on a wheelchair for mobility, sitting-acquired pressure ulcers (PUs) are a common and life-endangering complication. In the short time following an SCI, pathoanatomical and pathophysiological changes that affect the weight-bearing tissues of the buttocks may increase the risk for PUs, exposing this already-at-risk population to the addi...
متن کاملthe impact of computer-assisted language learning on achievement motivation of high school students
چکیده انگیزه دلیل اصلی رفتارهای ما است. به نظر می رسد انگیزه جزء جدایی ناپذیر فرایند یادگیری باشد. ارزش ذاتی موفقیت تمایل به پیشرفت را در یادگیرنده ایجاد میکند. به عبارت ساده این تمایل انگیزه پیشرفت نامیده میشود. انگیزه پیشرفت را میتوان در احساس یادگیرنده هنگام چالش با درس های مدرسه، لذت انجام فعالیت درسی، یا حس کشف پاسخ مشاهده کرد.حتی ممکن است انگیزه پیشرفت را در تلاش یادگیرنده برای جلب تایید...
Computer simulations reveal motor properties generating stable antiparallel microtubule interactions
An aster of microtubules is a set of flexible polar filaments with dynamic plus ends that irradiate from a common location at which the minus ends of the filaments are found. Processive soluble oligomeric motor complexes can bind simultaneously to two microtubules, and thus exert forces between two asters. Using computer simulations, I have explored systematically the possible steady-state regi...
متن کاملWound Healing Trajectories to Determine Pressure Ulcer Treatment Efficacy
BACKGROUND Wound healing trajectories (percent healing vs time) provide a dynamic picture of the decrease in wound burden over the entire continuum of the healing process. Trajectories can be robustly compared using survival statistics methodology. Improvement in healing can be determined by shifting the curve from "impaired" healing toward "ideal" healing. Although this concept of shifting the...
