Dr. Maggie Lawrence
This study sought to understand the experience of living and coping with nocturia, from the perspective of community-living older men and women. Individual semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 32 older people with self-reported nocturia of twice nightly or more. Four key characteristics of nocturia were identified.

A infecção é a mais frequente e grave complicação que acomete pacientes que procuram serviços estéticos e/ou funcionais em clínicas de cirurgia plástica. Uma infecção hospitalar eleva os custos do processo, tanto para o paciente quanto para a empresa. Diante disso, torna-se importante a instalação de uma comissão de controle de infecção hospitalar, tendo como responsável um enfermeiro. A importância deste profissional se dá por meio da organização da Central de Material Estarilizado (CME), bem como do estabelecimento de outras medidas efetivas para a prevenção e controle de infecções nas clínicas apresentadas ao longo desse artigo.
