ZIKV Strains Elicit Different Inflammatory and Anti-Viral Responses in Microglia Cells.

In recent years, the Zika Virus (ZIKV) has caused pandemic outbreaks associated with a high rate of congenital ZIKV syndrome (CZS). Although all strains associated with worldwide outbreaks derive from the Asian lineage, the reasons for their enhanced spread and severity are not fully understood. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of miRNAs (miRNA-155/146a/124) and their cellular targets (SOCS1/3, SHP1, TRAF6, IRAK1), as well as pro- and anti-inflammatory and anti-viral cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-10, and IFN-ß) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) expression in BV2 microglia cells infected with ZIKV strains derived from African and Asian lineages (ZIKVMR766 and ZIKVPE243). BV2 cells were susceptible to both ZIKV strains, and showed discrete levels of viral replication, with delayed release of viral particles without inducing significant cytopathogenic effects. However, the ZIKVMR766 strain showed higher infectivity and replicative capacity, inducing a higher expression of microglial activation markers than the ZIKVPE243 strain. Moreover, infection with the ZIKVMR766 strain promoted both a higher inflammatory response and a lower expression of anti-viral factors compared to the ZIKVPE243 strain. Remarkably, the ZIKKPE243 strain induced significantly higher levels of the anti-inflammatory nuclear receptor-PPAR-γ. These findings improve our understanding of ZIKV-mediated modulation of inflammatory and anti-viral innate immune responses and open a new avenue to explore underlining mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of ZIKV-associated diseases.

Feasibility of a mHealth survey application for incarcerated and postrelease people living with HIV in a low-resource setting.

Mobile health (mHealth) holds considerable promise as a way to give people greater control of their health information, privacy, and sharing in the context of HIV research and clinical services. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of an mHealth research application from the perspective of three stakeholder groups involved in an HIV clinical trial in Jakarta, Indonesia: (a) incarcerated people living with HIV (PLWH), (b) research assistants (RAs), and (c) research investigators. Incarcerated PLWH (n = 150) recruited from two large all-male prisons completed questionnaires, including questions about mHealth acceptability, on an mHealth survey application using a proprietary data collection software development platform. RAs who administered questionnaires (n = 8) rated the usability of the software application using the system usability scale (SUS) and open-ended questions. Research investigators (n = 2) completed in-depth interviews, that were coded and analyzed using the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a conceptual framework. Over 90% of incarcerated PLWH felt the mHealth application offered adequate comfort, privacy, and accuracy in recording their responses. RAs' SUS scores ranged from 60% to 90% (M = 76.25) and they found the mHealth survey application challenging to learn, but highly satisfying. Compared with paper-based data collection, researchers felt that electronic data collection led to improved accuracy and efficiency of data collection and the ability to monitor data collection remotely and in real time. The researchers perceived the learnability of the application as acceptable but required self-instruction.

Application of a Bundle in the Prevention of Peri-Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Preterm Newborns.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of implementing a care bundle for preventing peri-intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) in preterm newborns. A longitudinal, quantitative, quasi-experimental study was conducted with preterm newborns from a neonatal unit. The study was divided into 2 stages: the first consisted of a retrospective cohort of newborns (control group) not exposed to the bundle, and the second consisted of 5 practical steps of implementing a care bundle for preventing PIVH in eligible newborns. The results show that a significant reduction in PIVH occurred, from 34.8% before the intervention to 26.3% after application of the bundle. Also, after implementation of the bundle, there was a reduction in the severe forms of PIVH in the newborns who presented with hemorrhage compared with the control group. The study shows how the use of a low-cost and easy operationalization tool can contribute to the health of preterm newborns. It was found that the bundle is directly related to the decrease in the incidence of PIVH. The results may contribute to the improvement in care quality, thus promoting safe care for premature newborns.

In none of the procedures, hand hygiene was performed. Conclusion: Based on the recommendations proposed by the National Immunization Policy, the practices involved in immunobiological administration are far from what is recommended. Failures involving appropriate techniques of immunobiological preparation, storage and preservation have been observed.(AU)

Objetivo: evaluar la administración de inmunobiológicos en salas de vacuna de Unidades Básicas de Salud de la Familia de un municipio del Nordeste brasileño. Método: se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, investigativo, tipo investigaciónacción. Se recogieron los datos por medio de la observación sistemática en una Unidad Básica de Salud de la Familia. Se utilizaron guías a partir de las recomendaciones del Manual de Normas y Procedimientos para Vacunación de la Política Nacional de Inmunización. Se presentaron los resultados por medio de tablas. Resultados: se constata que, en 57,1% de las observaciones, el profesional no verificó la apariencia de la solución en el frasco de los inmunobiológicos y en 14,3% de los casos, no fue verificado el plazo de validez. Se salienta que en ninguno de los procedimientos fue realizada la higiene de las mãano. Conclusión: con base en las recomendaciones propuestas por la Política Nacional de Inmunización, que las prácticas envueltas en la administración de inmunobiológicos se encuentran distantes de lo que es recomendado. Se observaron fallas envolviendo las técnicas adecuadas de preparación, de almazenamiento y de conservación de los inmunobiológicos.(AU)

Nursing students' diagnostic accuracy using a computer-based clinical scenario simulation.

BACKGROUND: Being able to make accurate clinical decisions about actual or potential health problems is crucial to provide a safe and effective care. However, nursing students generally have difficulties identifying nursing diagnoses accurately. OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy within and across the NANDA-I diagnoses domains of junior, senior, and graduate-entry students. DESIGN: Descriptive study PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: The sample comprised one hundred thirty nursing students from a Midwestern American university. METHODS: The participants were divided in three groups (juniors, seniors and graduate-entry) and invited to engage in a series of diagnostic exercises presented in a software. Students were presented with 13 scenarios and asked to identify the applicable defining characteristics, related factors, and nursing diagnoses from the NANDA-I taxonomy. The number of correct answers per scenario was used to compute diagnostic accuracy. Age, gender, previous exposure to the NANDA-I taxonomy, and student level were covariates in the analysis. RESULTS: The average percent correct answers across all groups was 64.4% and no statistical differences between the groups were found. The scenarios belonging to the Health Promotion, Self-Perception, and Growth/Development Domains were those in which students had a higher number of incorrect answers. Students also had more difficulty recognizing the correct nursing diagnoses compared with related factors and defining characteristics. CONCLUSIONS: This study found no associations between demographic variables, exposure to the NANDA-I taxonomy, or academic program level and diagnostic accuracy. Some areas in which students had a poor performance indicate need for improvement in diagnostic reasoning skills.

Effectiveness of a telephone follow-up nursing intervention in postsurgical patients.

BACKGROUND: Surgical recovery can be defined as the days required to initiate activities that maintain life, health, and well-being. AIM: The main study objective was to compare the effectiveness of telephone versus conventional follow-up in postsurgical older adult patients. METHODS: This is a quasi-experimental study with random sampling. Postsurgical patients over 60 years old who had undergone gastrectomy and colectomy were selected from 2 hospitals and randomly divided into intervention group (22 patients) and control group (21 patients). Data collection was performed from January to September 2014. The differences in surgical recovery between the control and intervention groups were measured at 48 hours, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: Patients in the control group took significantly longer duration in the length of surgical recovery from the first to the second (P = .007) and to the third evaluation time points (P = .013). Patients in the intervention group had significant less impaired mobility (P = .003), need for assistance for self-care (P = .009), fatigue (P = .048), and time required for recuperation (P = .048). CONCLUSION: Telephone follow-up reduced the occurrence of delayed surgical recovery.
