Influence of surface peripheral electrical stimulation on nerve regeneration after digital nerve neurorrhaphy: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial

We will study the influence of low intensity and frequency surface peripheral electrical stimulation (PES) on nerve regeneration of digital nerve injuries of the hand after its surgical repair in humans. Participants will be patients with acute traumatic peripheral nerve injury referred to the Hand Surgery Service of the General Hospital of the State of Bahia, a reference service in the state. These patients will undergo surgery followed by PES in the immediate postoperative period. After hospital discharge, they will be followed up on an outpatient basis by researchers, who will remotely supervise a physiotherapy program. Our hypothesis is that PES will positively influence the recovery of sensory function in patients undergoing neurorrhaphy of digital nerves of the hand.

Comorbid Conditions

Invasive infection may complicate the course of neutropenic cancer patients receiving intensive chemotherapy. The rate of complications is related to prognostic factors including the underlying malignant diagnosis, the state of responsiveness of the underlying disease to treatment, the dose-intensity of the cytotoxic therapy, the duration of neutropenia, the performance status of the patient and comorbid conditions. The pathogens involved are usually the patients’ endogenous microflora, and the sites of infection are those anatomic sites colonized with the endogenous microflora. The approach to the febrile neutropenic episode requires a sequence of steps including the recognition of the febrile state (oral temperature higher than 38°C), the depth and duration of the neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count less than 0.5×109/L), the identification of a clinical focus of infection and a potential pathogen, the administration of empirical antibacterial therapy, and finally, an assessment of the outcome. Management decisions about whether to treat with oral or parenteral antibacterial agents, with a combination or single agent therapy, or as an inpatient or an outpatient can be based on an assessments of risks of the severity of the patient’s comorbid conditions and the patient’s risk of developing medical complications that would require inpatient management. The duration of antimicrobial treatment depends on the recovery from the state of neutropenia and the origin of the infectious process.

This study aims to determine the level of user perceptual categories of the librarian in reference service. By knowing user perception, it can be used as a donation of thought and consideration for the performance of the librarian in the library in order to make the services in the reference at the Library of the State Islamic University Sunan Kalidjaga is as maximal as user expectation. The type of this research is quantitative research. The sample number of this research is 100 users which take from the user that uses the service of reference or population. The sample was taken by accidental sampling method. The researcher collected the data by using questionnaire, observation, interviews, and documentation. While the analysis of the data used descriptive quantitative data analysis. Based on the description of the results of research on the user perception in the librarian reference service at the Library of the State Islamic University Sunan Kalidjaga, it can be concluded that the general perception of user to the librarian in the reference service can be categorized into good category with the score of grand mean; 2.64. While the indicator score for the librarians who find information to answer a specific question, can be good category with a grand mean score; 2.70. For the second indicator, librarians help users find the information was categorized into good category with a grand mean score; 2.70. The third indicator, librarians guide users in using library resources and how to conduct research were categorized into good category with a grand mean score; 2.53. This results indicate that there are no indicators that the score of the grand mean is 3:26 to 4:00 or excellent category, it means that the management of library and librarians in the Library of the State Islamic University of Yogyakarta Sunan Kalidjaga should maintain and improve its performance in serving the users at State Islamic University of Yogyakarta Sunan Kalijaga
