Objective Physiological bicarbonate/lactate-based solutions may correct acidosis in a better way than standard lactate-based solutions. In this study, a new 25 mmol/L bicarbonate/10 mmol/L lactate peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution was compared with a standard 35 mmol/L lactate solution. Design This was a prospective open label study. All patients had a 2-week baseline period using the standard lactate solution, followed by 8 weeks on the bicarbonate/lactate solution and 2 weeks on the lactate-basedsolution. Setting Four Danish and four Spanish nephrology centers. Patients 40 well-dialyzed (creatinine clearance > 55 L/week/1.73 m2 body surface area) patients on continuous ambulatory PD. Interventions Blood samples were taken for biochemistry (including venous blood gases) at week –2, day 1, weeks 2, 4, and 8, and at follow-up. A physical examination, a peritoneal equilibration test (PET), and quality of life (K/DQOL), ultrafiltration, and adequacy assessments were performed at baseline and at week 8. Vital signs and other safety parameters were followed at each visit. Extraneal (Baxter Healthcare, Castlebar, Ireland) was used by all patients for the long dwell. Main Outcome Measure Effect on the venous plasma bicarbonate level. Results Venous plasma bicarbonate levels rose from 24.4 mmol/L when patients were on the pure lactate to 26.1 mmol/L when using the bicarbonate/lactate solution ( p < 0.001). When patients were using the bicarbonate/lactate solution, 66% of values were maintained within the venous normal range of 24 – 30 mmol/L, versus 46.2% when patients were on the pure lactate solution ( p < 0.001). There were no adverse findings with respect to clinical symptoms, vital signs, or physical examination. The PET and adequacy, ultrafiltration, and K/DQOL assessment results were unchanged. Conclusions The new 25 mmol/L bicarbonate/10 mmol/L lactate solution provided better correction of acidosis than an equivalent 35 mmol/L standard lactate solution, without any safety issues.

Introdução: O aumento da população idosa em todo o mundo exige a capacitação de profissionais para o atendimento nesta área. Metodologia: Este é um estudo qualiquantitativo do tipo exploratório-descritivo realizado através da entrevista e exame físico feito nos idosos. Objetivos: O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi aplicar  o processo de enfermagem nos idosos com alzheimer participantes do projeto da UNICRUZ. Os objetivos específicos foram:  Realizar a avaliação do estado de saúde atual destes idosos; Levantar os principais diagnósticos de enfermagem encontrados; Proporcionar aos sujeitos cuidados de enfermagem integral através da realiazação das prescrições de enfermagem. Resultados: Após a coleta de dados foram levantadas as informações em comum obtidas na entrevista e exame físico que apontam idade média dos sujeitos de 76 anos, 4 idosos têm o diagnóstico de alzheimer há 5 anos; 3 deles são hipertensos; 5 deles têm distúrbios do sono; 3 têm irmãos com alzheimer e todos têm falha de memória e limitação de amplitude de movivento.

Dr. Anderson has questioned our study on two counts. He asked whether the infants in our study could be considered normal when normality was based oniy on physical examination, hematocrit, and arterial blood gases and pH. This is an important point, but we think it is adequately covered in the Discussion section of our report. He also questioned whether the indications for umbilical arterial catheterization in some infants were valid in view of the potential hazards associated with the procedure.

Background and Aim: Since mental skills of nurses are effective on the quality of their activities, this research was conducted with the aim of determining the mental skills of physical examinations of children by nurses and related agents at the Children's Medical Education Center in Rasht. Methods: The current cross sectional study was performed on 127 female nurses working in pediatric wards of the 17th Shahrivar hospital in Rasht in 2018 by enumeration sampling method. A valid and reliable questionnaire comprised of two sections of demographic information and information for physical examination of children was used. Data were analyzed by SPSS software v.21. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The highest number of nurses (71.7%) had a moderate mental skills. There were a significant relationship between the mean of mental skills with the service ward (p <0.001), interest in the current service ward (p = 0.031), and the history of retraining related to health status assessment (p = 0.034). While, there were not a significant relationship between the mean of mental skills with age (p = 0.847), total score at graduation date (p = 0.052), marital status (p = 0.812), number of children (p = 0.501), educational status (p = 0.797), employment status (p = 0.505), classification of clinical experience (p = 0.644), classification of work experience in the current ward (p = 0.127), shift work (p = 0.443), the degree of interest in the current field and job (p = 0.439). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the nurses had moderate mental skills, which the mean of mental skills were related to the total score at the date of graduation, the name of the service ward, the level of interest in the current ward and the history of retraining related to health status assessment. Therefore, considering the factors affecting the mental skills, this skill can be increased, which should be considered in future researches.
