AbstractBackground:It is common practice to use head bandages for 7–10 days following pinnaplasty. However, head bandages are often troublesome for patients and can lead to serious complications.Method:A systematic review was performed to evaluate the use of head bandages after pinnaplasty. A search of Medline, Embase (Ovid) and CINAHL (EBSCO collections), the Cochrane Library, Pubmed (US National Library of Medicine) and Google Scholar identified 34 related articles. Of these, 14 were deemed relevant and 2 randomised controlled trials, 1 cohort study, 3 case series and 1 literature review met the inclusion criteria.Results:The two randomised controlled trials show no statistically significant difference in complications when a head bandage was used for the standard 7–10 days, for 24 hours or not at all. The three case series show that using a head bandage for 24 hours or not at all are safe alternatives. The review article recommended that when head bandages are applied after pinnaplasty it should be for the shortest duration possible.Conclusion:Based on the available evidence, not using a head bandage at all or using one for a maximum of 24 hours following pinnaplasty is recommended.

Objective: to identify and assess the available evidences in the literature about factors that interfere with the adherence of the health workers to standard precautions. Methods: this is an integrative literature review, conducted through electronic search of articles in the following databases: PubMed, digital archive produced by the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (LILACS), EMBASE and COCHRANE Library, published between 1999 and 2008. In total, 14 articles were analyzed. Results: the analysis of articles identified a variety of factors that can interfere positively or negatively with the adherence of health workers to standard precautions. Most (13/14) were classified as evidence level 6, since they were descriptive articles. Reasons were grouped in three categories: factors related to individuals, to institutions and to the process of work. Conclusion: although the present study does not provide strong scientific evidences, it permitted the identification of a group of variables that should be better researched in analytical and experimental studies, which can support in a more concrete way the improvement of the levels of adherence of health workers to standard precautions. Descriptors: health personnel; guideline adherence; universal precautions.

Stratified Analysis

Our meta-analysis aggregated existing results from relevant studies to comprehensively investigate the correlations between genetic polymorphisms in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) gene and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) toxicities in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The MEDLINE (1966∼2013), the Cochrane Library Database (Issue 12, 2013), EMBASE (1980∼2013), CINAHL (1982∼2013), Web of Science (1945∼2013), and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) (1982∼2013) were searched without language restrictions. Meta-analyses were conducted with the use of STATA software (Version 12.0, Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). Seven clinical cohort studies with a total of 946 CRC patients met our inclusion criteria, and NOS scores of each of the included studies were ≥5. Our findings showed thatDPYDgenetic polymorphisms were significantly correlated with high incidences of 5-FU-related toxicity in CRC patients. SNP-stratified analysis indicated that there were remarkable connections of IVS14+1G>A, 464T>A, and 2194G>A polymorphisms with the incidence of marrow suppression in CRC patients receiving 5-FU chemotherapy. Furthermore, we found that IVS14+1G>A, 496A>G, and 2194G>A polymorphisms were correlated with the incidence of gastrointestinal reaction. Ethnicity-stratified analysis also revealed thatDPYDgenetic polymorphisms might contribute to the development of marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reaction among Asians, but not among Caucasians. The present meta-analysis suggests thatDPYDgenetic polymorphisms may be correlated with the incidence of 5-FU-related toxicity in CRC patients.

OBJECTIVE: To identify scientific studies and to deepen the knowledge of peripheral neuropathies induced by chemotherapy antineoplastic, seeking evidence for assistance to cancer patients. METHOD: Integrative review of the literature conducted in the databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medical Literature Analysis (PubMed/MEDLINE), the Cochrane Library and the Spanish Bibliographic Index Health Sciences (IBECS). RESULTS: The sample consisted of 15 studies published between 2005-2014 that met the inclusion criteria. Studies showed aspects related to advanced age, main symptoms of neuropathy and chemotherapy agents as important adverse effect of neuropathy. CONCLUSION: We identified a small number of studies that addressed the topic, as well as low production of evidence related to interventions with positive results. It is considered important to develop new studies proposed for the prevention and/or treatment, enabling adjustment of the patient's cancer chemotherapy and consequently better service.

Abstract Context Adrenal venous sampling (AVS), with or without adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation, is the test of choice to identify patients with a surgically curable subtype of primary aldosteronism (PA). Whether AVS with ACTH stimulation is more effective than AVS without ACTH stimulation remains controversial. Objective To compare the effectiveness of AVS with ACTH stimulation and AVS without ACTH stimulation in patients with PA. Design The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched to identify relevant articles. All cohort studies comparing the two techniques (AVS with ACTH stimulation and AVS without ACTH stimulation in a patient with PA) were included in the analysis. Results A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria, and they were analyzed. AVS with ACTH stimulation did not significantly reduce the number of incorrect lateralization more than AVS without ACTH stimulation in patients with PA (OR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.36, 1.59; P = 0.47). AVS with ACTH stimulation significantly reduced the number of unsuccessful cannulations of both adrenal veins more than AVS without ACTH stimulation in patients with PA (OR: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.40; P < 0.00001). For subgroup analyses, it also significantly reduced the number of unsuccessful cannulations of left adrenal vein and right adrenal vein (OR: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.33, P < 0.00001; and OR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.12, 0.71, P = 0.007, respectively). Conclusion AVS with ACTH stimulation can significantly reduce the number of unsuccessful cannulations, without significantly reducing the number of incorrect lateralization. Further studies are still needed to verify these findings.
