RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND MOTIVATION: Digital pathology has been evolving over the last years, proposing significant workflow advantages that have fostered its adoption in professional environments. Patient clinical and image data are readily available in remote data banks that can be consumed efficiently over standard communication technologies. The appearance of new imaging techniques and advanced artificial intelligence algorithms has significantly reduced the burden on medical professionals by speeding up the screening process. Despite these advancements, the usage of digital pathology in professional environments has been slowed down by poor interoperability between services resulting from a lack of standard interfaces and integrative solutions. This work addresses this issue by proposing a cloud-based digital pathology platform built on standard and open interfaces. METHODS: The work proposes and describes a vendor-neutral platform that provides interfaces for managing digital slides, and medical reports, and integrating digital image analysis services compatible with existing standards. The solution integrates the open-source plugin-based Dicoogle PACS for interoperability and extensibility, which grants the proposed solution great feature customization. RESULTS: The solution was developed in collaboration with iPATH research project partners, including the validation by medical pathologists. The result is a pure Web collaborative framework that supports both research and production environments. A total of 566 digital slides from different pathologies were successfully uploaded to the platform. Using the integration interfaces, a mitosis detection algorithm was successfully installed into the platform, and it was trained with 2400 annotations collected from breast carcinoma images. CONCLUSION: Interoperability is a key factor when discussing digital pathology solutions, as it facilitates their integration into existing institutions' information systems. Moreover, it improves data sharing and integration of third-party services such as image analysis services, which have become relevant in today's digital pathology workflow. The proposed solution fully embraces the DICOM standard for digital pathology, presenting an interoperable cloud-based solution that provides great feature customization thanks to its extensible architecture.

The impaired walking nursing diagnosis has been included in NANDA International classification taxonomy in 1998, and this review aims to identify the defining characteristics and related factors in elderly patients in recent literature. Integrative literature review based on the following guiding question: Are there more defining characteristics and factors related to the nursing diagnosis impaired walking than those included in NANDA International classification taxonomy in elderly patients? Search conducted in 2007-2013 on international and Portuguese databases. Sample composed of 15 papers. Among the 6 defining characteristics classified at NANDA International, 3 were identified in the search results, but 13 were not included in the classification. Regarding the 14 related factors that are classified, 9 were identified in the sample and 12 were not included in the NANDA International taxonomy. This review allowed the identification of new elements not included in NANDA International Taxonomy and may contribute to the development of taxonomy and nursing knowledge.

El diagnóstico de enfermería deterioro de la deambulación integra la NANDA Internacional desde 1998 y esta revisión tuvo como objetivo identificar las características definidoras y los factores relacionados con el paciente anciano en la literatura más actual. Revisión integrada que surgió de la pregunta: ¿existirán más características y factores relacionados de deterioro de la deambulación, además de aquellas que están descritas en la NANDA Internacional, en el paciente anciano? Búsqueda en el período 2007-2013 en las bases de datos internacionales y portuguesa. Se obtuvo una muestra de 15 estudios. Entre las 6 características de diagnóstico en la clasificación, 3 fueron identificadas 3 en los resultados de la búsqueda, pero, otras 13 no constan en la NANDA Internacional. Con relación a los factores relacionados, 9 en la muestra y 12 no están en la clasificación. Nuevos elementos fueran identificados y no están clasificadas en la NANDA Internacional, ofreciendo así aportaciones para el desarrollo de la taxonomía y del conocimiento en enfermería.
O diagnóstico de enfermagem deambulação prejudicada integra a NANDA Internacional desde 1998, e o objetivo deste estudo é identificar as características definidoras e os fatores relacionados no paciente idoso na literatura mais atual. Revisão integrativa com a questão: existirão mais características definidoras e fatores relacionados do diagnóstico de enfermagem deambulação prejudicada, além dos que estão descritos na NANDA Internacional, que sejam específicos para o paciente idoso? Pesquisa no período 2007-2013 em bases de dados internacionais e portuguesa. Obteve-se uma amostra de 15 estudos. Entre as 6 características definidoras do diagnóstico na classificação, 3 foram identificadas nos resultados da busca na literatura, contudo, encontram-se outras 13 que não constam da classificação. Relativamente aos fatores relacionados, dos 14 classificados, 9 foram identificados na amostra e 12 não estão na classificação. Essa revisão permitiu identificar novos elementos que não estão classificados na NANDA Internacional e pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento da taxonomia e do conhecimento de enfermagem.
