Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.3K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG) are rarely recorded simultaneously, although they yield confirmatory and complementary information. Here, we illustrate the experimental setup for recording simultaneous MEG and HD-EEG and the methodology for analyzing these data aiming to localize epileptogenic and eloquent brain areas in children with drug-resistant...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Surgery
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Presurgical psychological evaluations (PPEs) are increasingly standard in surgical care.
  • Current PPE methodologies lack standardization, leading to variability in practice.
  • Unclear goals and integration processes hinder effective PPE implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a systematic and empirically supported model for conducting presurgical psychological evaluations.
  • To address the lack of clarity regarding PPE goals, content, and physician recommendations.
  • To provide a flexible framework applicable to diverse surgical evaluations.

Main Methods:

  • This review presents a novel five-step model for PPEs.
  • The model is termed the Risk Identification and Mitigation (RIM) model.
  • The RIM model is discussed in detail, emphasizing its empirical support.

Main Results:

  • The proposed RIM model offers a structured approach to PPEs.
  • The model facilitates the integration of psychological information for surgical decision-making.
  • It provides a clear process for making recommendations to surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • The RIM model provides a systematic yet flexible framework for presurgical psychological evaluations.
  • This model can guide practice in under-researched areas of PPE.
  • The RIM model serves as a foundation for future empirical research in presurgical psychological assessment.
