Interferences in the measurement of circulating phosphate: a literature review

AbstractBackgroundInorganic phosphate in blood is currently determined by the reaction with molybdate. This report aims at reviewing conditions underlying spuriously altered levels of circulating inorganic phosphate.ContentA systematic search of the Excerpta Medica, the National Library Database and the Web of Science database was conducted without language restriction from the earliest publication date available through January 31, 2020.SummaryFor the analysis, 80 reports published in English (n = 77), French (n = 1), German (n = 1) and Spanish (n = 1) were retained. Well-documented pseudohyperphosphatemia was observed in individuals exposed to liposomal amphotericin, in patients affected by a gammopathy, in patients with hyperlipidemia and in patients with hyperbilirubinemia. An unexplained elevated inorganic phosphate level sometimes provided a clue to the diagnosis of a gammopathy. Well-documented cases of pseudohypophosphatemia were observed in patients on large amounts of intravenous mannitol. Finally, pseudohypophosphatemia was occasionally observed on treatment with liposomal amphotericin and in patients with a gammopathy.OutlookIn order to avoid unnecessary testing and treatment, the phenomenon of spuriously altered inorganic phosphate should be recognized. An unexplained hyperphosphatemia may provide a clue to the diagnosis of a gammopathy or a severe hyperlipidemia.

Purpose – This paper aims to present a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of studies in Brazil with applications of multivariate control charts indexed in journals on the Web of Science. Design/methodology/approach – The following steps were carried out: a detailed synthesis was performed on the general characteristics of the corpus, co-citation and collaboration networks analyzed; and a co-occurrence of terms in the text corpus was verified. A Systematic Literature Review was carried out using the protocols set out by Biolchini et al. (2007), Kitchenham (2004) and Tranfield, Denyer and Smart (2003). Papers were selected from the Web of Science database, and after applying filters, results for 29 articles were given to compose the corpus. Findings – A tendency was found for an increase in publications, along with more international research on the issue. The journal most used for publication was the Microchemical Journal. This analysis provided relevant authors for research in this area: Harold Hotelling, Douglas Montgomery, and John Frederick MacGregor. Important Brazilian researchers were highlighted who work mainly in the pharmaceutical and biodiesel industry. Originality/value – No articles were found that had carried out a Systematic Literature Review of Brazilian research on multivariate control charts. The main contributions to this manuscript related to an increase in scientific know-how in the area of multivariate and bibliometric analysis. Keywords - Multivariate Control Charts. Systematic literature review. Bibliometric analysis.

Previous researches show that hospital organizations have initiated improvement programs and invested considerably in the orientation and management of processes, using maturity models to improve structures and learning. In this context, the objective of the present paper is to analyze previous researches related to hospital management maturity models, using the Morton (1994) organizational dimensions' analysis model, adapted for hospital organizations. The Web of Science, Scopus, Spell, Scielo and BDTD platforms were used for this study. We screened 305 identified papers, published from January 2005 till December 2019, using search descriptors: “Maturity Model” and “Hospital management". We identified Forty-one articles as eligible for information extraction and analysis. The surveys are classified into five organizational dimensions: Strategy, Structure, Decision Making, Technology, and People. We found a predominance of the technology management dimension in 25 studies, based on the organizational dimensions. The research is essentially related to information systems, supply management and quality management. Although there are different models of hospital management maturity, it was found that the models developed for hospital organizations are mostly related to their technical / operational areas, but in a fragmented way. The present study contributes to a comprehensive literature review of hospital maturity and management models.

Responsible innovation has always been an important issue in discourses addressing the major challenges faced by humankind in terms of natural resource degradation, climate change, economic progress and societal well-being. However, its integration into industry is still in its infancy, and even more so when it comes to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The aim of this research is to use a systematic literature review to develop a conceptual model for responsible innovation and its relationship with SME performance, in connection with sustainable innovation and corporate social responsibility practices. A bibliometric analysis of 102 articles collected between 2000 and April 2020 from the Web of Science database was used, in addition to the systematic literature review using the Gephi and NVivo software. The study presents an overview of the articles, authors, and most influential journals and research clusters identified, and provides a solid conceptual framework to be applied in this field and in the context of SMEs.
