ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Toxic epidermal necrolysis can be fatal and nursing care with careful monitoring of temperature and humidity can improve survival rate. We adapted the greenhouse and igloo principle using a common hood to monitor the temperature and humidity. METHODS: A small heater with a regulator was placed in a mini hood and temperature was recorded inside the uncovered hood and hood covered with green cloth and aluminium foil separately. The regular hood was placed over a volunteer and the temperature was measured inside the open hood and hood covered with green cloth and aluminium foil separately. The relative humidity was also monitored using Zeal mercury dry--wet bulb hygrometer. RESULTS: Temperature increase was most marked in the foil-covered hood followed by cloth-covered hood, both with the heater and the volunteer. Similarly, in the volunteer study, the humidity was best maintained inside the aluminium foil-covered hood. CONCLUSION: We recommend the use of regular hood with suitable cover to monitor the humidity and temperature of patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis.

ABSTRACT

Parameters for a more effcient biotransformation of diterpene-like compounds by the fungus "Cephalosporium aphidicola" were established by carrying out microscale feeding at several conditions. Experiments were guided by thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography analysis. It was observed that the substrate should be added in ethanol at concentrations between 15 to 14 mg per 100 ml of medium. The extraction of the product showed to be more effcient when carried out from both mycelia and broth and using ethylacetate as the extracting solvent. The experiment should be stopped six days after feeding the substrate to the fungus for the best product yield.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio sobre el uso de nidos y cubreincubadoras en recién nacidos prematuros que pesaron menos de 1500 grs, hospitalizados en la sala de Cuidados Integrales del Prematuro (UCIPrem) de la Unidad de Neonatología del Hospital Dr. Sótero del Río, con el fín de evaluar el incremento de peso y regulación de temperatura. El nido consiste en un pequeño saco; la cubreincubadora es una cubierta de tela que se coloca sobre la cúpula de la incubadora para simular el ambiente intrauterino. La investigación fue de tipo analítico, retroprospectivo, de casos y controles. Se estudiaron dos grupos, con un n=16 para cada uno. Ambos grupos tenían menos de 15 días de edad cronológica y no presentaban patologías que comprometieran las variables en estudio. Los niños que integraron el grupo de casos se estudiaron entre los meses de junio de 1998 y mayo de 1999, el grupo control entre los meses de junio de 1997 y mayo de 1998. En los resultados se evidenció que ambos grupos, hasta la tercera semana, regulaban temperatura según su ambiente térmico neutro, en ellos el incremento de peso y regulación de temperatura eran muy similares. Sin embargo, en la cuarta semana los niños que usaron nidos y cubreincubadoras, necesitaron un grado menos de temperatura de incubadora que el ambiente térmico neutro esperado para su peso y edad cronológica y aumentaban en promedio 59,2 grs. más que el grupo control

ABSTRACT

Aborda o uso do plástico para a manutençäo de um meio ambiente termo-neutro necessário na assistência de enfermagem ao récem-nascido de pré-termo. O método consiste na colocaçäo do plástico sobre suportes que se adequam ao aparelho usado como fonte de aquecimento. A aplicaçäo do referido método demonstrou uma menor oscilaçäo na temperatura do microambiente que circunda o recém nascido (RN), contribuindo para a conservaçäo do calor, sem dificultar a manipulaçäo da crianca.
