Short-term Results of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Chronic Anal Fissure: Randomized Controlled Clinical Study.
Anal fissure is one of the most common benign anal disorders, and medical treatments play an important role in its management. ⋯ El plasma rico en plaquetas redujo las molestias y aceleró la epitelización y la curación en pacientes con fisuras anales crónicas.

Conducting an adequate pain assessment in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is multifactorial and complex due to the diversity of the population. It is critical that validated pain assessment methods are used appropriately and consistently to aid in evaluation of pain and pain management interventions. ⋯ The use of an algorithm supported the ability of PICU nurses to critically consider and choose the pain assessment method most appropriate for the patient's condition. The algorithm promotes nursing clinical judgement, prioritizes pain management, and includes patients receiving sedation. The algorithm supports a comprehensive pain assessment in a difficult pediatric patient population. Future research is needed to strengthen and standardize the usage of terms "assume pain present" and "assume pain managed," and to also improve the overall feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm.
