Pathological results revealed that levels of Aβ deposition in the brains of AD mice treated with a high dose of emodin decreased by 50%-70%.

The 10 Principles of Dignity in Care, which undergird the United Kingdom's Dignity in Care Campaign, have been used to promote dignified care for older people in hospital. A 2006 recommendation of the campaign was to survey people on their experiences of dignity in care. To undertake such a survey, a questionnaire based on the 10 Principles of Dignity is required.<br /><br /> Qualitative methods based on a modified Delphi technique, assessed against the CREDES checklist.<br /><br /> A Delphi panel of experts was convened that included consumers, carers, clinicians, academics, policy experts and representatives from the National Dignity Council in the UK, Aboriginal people and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.<br /><br /> Fifty-seven experts consented to participate, over the three rounds of Delphi panel deliberations (response rate R1 n=49, R2 n=47 and R3 n=44). The Delphi panellists were asked to rank, rewrite, relocate or remove items and suggest additional items, under each of the 10 Principles of Dignity in Care. The initial list of 93 items, generated from a review of the literature, existing questionnaires and drafted by the authors, was reduced to 87 items in Round 2 and 69 items in Round 3.<br /><br /> A panel of experts were able to determine, based on their own judgement, and through consensus, the 69-items and response categories to be included in the patient and carer versions of the Dignity in Care questionnaire, to progress to a pilot study.<br /><br />A panel of experts were able to determine, based on their own judgement, and through consensus, the 69-items and response categories to be included in the patient and carer versions of the Dignity in Care questionnaire, to progress to a pilot study.<br /><br /> To describe an implementation programme for an evidence-based practice (EBP) model in a new Chilean hospital and to analyse the programme evaluation results.<br /><br /> Evidence-based practice is key to professional nursing for improving health care safety and quality.<br /><br /> First, a literature review was performed to develop an institutional EBP model. Second, internal and external analyses contributed to assessing facilitators for and barriers to implementation. Third, a multi-stage implementation plan was conducted. Fourth, process and outcome indicators were evaluated.<br /><br /> The model considered the basic elements of EBP and outlined different decision-making levels in clinical practice. Several facilitators for implementation were identified. Each implementation stage included activities addressing EBP knowledge, attitude and skills. Outcome indicators showed significant improvement regarding knowledge (p=.038). Providers with formal EBP training, compared with providers without training, showed a significant difference of 8.6% (0.6 points) in the average CPBE-19 score in knowledge, attitude and application in the last evaluation (p&lt;.01).<br /><br /> Having an EBP programme with ongoing implementation strategies improves knowledge over time, and formal training enhances positive results.<br /><br /> Nurse managers can build an institutional research culture to improve the quality of care using an EBP programme that fits organisational needs.<br /><br />Nurse managers can build an institutional research culture to improve the quality of care using an EBP programme that fits organisational needs.<br /><br /> To evaluate the effectiveness of the DrugFactsBox<br /><br /> format for presenting written medication information and the SMART (Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Training) Program designed to enhance gist reasoning ability.<br /><br /> We used a 2 x 2 factorial research design. 286 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly assigned to one of four groups DrugFactsBox<br /><br /> Only, DrugFactsBox<br /><br /> Plus SMART, Other Consumer Medication Information (CMI) Only, and Other CMI Plus SMART. Data were collected via telephone interviews and online questionnaires at four time points Baseline and 6-weeks, 3-months, and 6-months following baseline. The primary outcome variable was Informed Decision-Making, defined as making a value-consistent decision concerning use of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs based on adequate knowledge.<br /><br /> We found no main effects for the two interventions, either alone or in combination. However, there was a significant interaction between assignment to SMART/No SMART Program and Informed Decision-Making at baseline. Among participants in the SMART groups who did not meet the criteria for Informed Decision-Making at baseline, 42.5% met the criteria at the 6-month follow-up, compared to 23.6% of participants in the No SMART groups (Mean Difference=18.9, 95% CI=5.6, 32.2, p=0.007). This difference was driven by increased knowledge in the SMART groups. Among participants who met the criteria for Informed Decision-Making at baseline, the difference between the SMART and No SMART groups was not statistically significant.<br /><br /> Participation in a theory-driven program to enhance gist reasoning may have a beneficial effect on Informed Decision-Making among patients with inadequate knowledge concerning therapeutic options.<br /><br />Participation in a theory-driven program to enhance gist reasoning may have a beneficial effect on Informed Decision-Making among patients with inadequate knowledge concerning therapeutic options.<br /><br /> We carried out a longitudinal cohort study to measure serial CysC (Cystatin C) in a cohort of neonates born preterm until the age of 2years. We hypothesised that CysC levels are independent of body weight and would not vary with gestational age.<br /><br /> This prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2014 until October 2016, and follow-up was completed in October 2018. Preterm infants at less than 28weeks of gestation (extremely preterm infants) were recruited and followed up until the age of 24months. Blood samples for measurement of CysC were collected at regular intervals.<br /><br /> We recruited 58 preterm neonates with mean gestation was 26.2 (1.5) weeks, and a mean birth weight was 917 (140) g. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) did not show any significant difference in CysC levels between 28, 32 and 37weeks' gestation (P=.09) despite a significant increase in body weight (P&lt;.001). The mean CysC level was higher in the neonatal period and subsequently plateaued by 24months.<br /><br /> Serum CysC level is independent of body weight and not influenced by postnatal age nor by gender.
