Abstract:

This study compared clinical outcomes among adult, elderly and very elderly patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs) located in São Paulo, Brazil. This retrospective, longitudinal and comparative study included 279 adult (≥18 and <60 years), 216 elderly (≥60 and <80 years) and 105 very elderly (≥80 years) patients. Adult patients differed from other groups regarding the unit to which they were referred and severity, according to the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II. Adults were most frequently sent to hospitalization wards; elderly and very elderly patients who survived hospi

The purpose of this study was to identify the gait pattern of the elderly with aging and to analyze the elderly’s gait changes by the focal tendon vibratory stimulation. A total of 10 elderly males and 15 young adult males participated in this study. Using 3D motion analysis, we analyzed that difference between the elderly gait and young adults gait and the changes of the elderly gait by applying focal vibratory stimuli. As a result, specifically in the early stance, the elderly’s gait was more flexed and the lower extremity extensors of the elderly worked harder. When the focal vibratory stim

Abstract. This paper explores the impact of growing up with an older adult in the home on one’s attitudes toward older adults. We surveyed 309 participants for their opinions on older adults, whether they grew up living with an older adult, and whether the older adult they lived with was ill. Those who grew up with an older adult had significantly lower opinions of the elderly but had less anxiety around their own aging process. This negative impact of contact seemed especially pronounced if the older adult was ill. Results indicate that although contact in and of itself can have a positive be

ABSTRACTAlthough not true in all countries, older adults are the developmental age group at highest risk for death by suicide in the United States. Our knowledge of suicide in the elderly is, however, limited. The psychological characteristics for suicide cannot be attributed primarily or even solely to being old. One avenue to understanding this complicated act in the elderly is suicide notes. Despite their limitations, suicide notes contain special revelations of the human mind and there is much one can learn from them about suicide in the older adult.

Abstract:

An aging parent’s development of a cognitive impairment requires significant changes in the lives of that individual and his or her family. Adult children may be required to assume caregiving responsibilities and may experience feelings of loss, as well as conflicting feelings of guilt, apprehension, anger, and resentment towards these responsibilities. This article explores the dynamic that underlies these sentiments and suggests strategies to maximize parent-child communication and facilitate the relationship between cognitively impaired elderly adults and their adult children.

Abstract:

Background: Patients admitted emergently with a primary diagnosis of acute gastric ulcer have significant complications including morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to assess the risk factors of mortality including the role of surgery in gastric ulcers. Methods: Adult (18–64-year-old) and elderly (≥65-year-old) patients admitted emergently with hemorrhagic and/or perforated gastric ulcers, were analyzed using the National Inpatient Sample database, 2005–2014. Demographics, various clinical data, and associated comorbidities were collected. A stratified analysis was combin

The purpose of this investigation was to examine intrasubject and intersubject fundamental frequency (F0) variability in a group of young adult and elderly female speakers during the production of stressed and unstressed words. While both groups exhibited greater intersubject variability during stressed versus unstressed productions, stressed productions were more variable in the elderly women than in the young adults. Also, the elderly women exhibited greater intrasubject variability during stressed and unstressed productions relative to young adults. Implications of these findings were discu

Abstract:

Generation differences between Korean immigrant adult children and elderly parents are examined in terms of their life conditions in the United States. Data for this study were collected through interviewing 622 Korean adult immigrants in the Chicago area in 1986. The life conditions of adult children and elderly parents are inferred from the two groups of respondents: the young and the elderly. The life conditions of these two groups are found to be highly differentiated in terms of their current adult statuses and roles, family-kinship ties, and experiences of Americanization.

Background: Though mortality rates have decreased with better understanding of burns’ pathophysiology and advanced monitoring, elderly burn patients are still a challenging health problem. The elderly population is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the outcomes of burns for elderly patients and increase medical, public and governmental awareness of the issue. Elderly people should be trained in preventive measures to diminish the number of burn accidents.Methods: Hospitalized patients between 2011 and 2019 were retrospectively studied.

Objectives Violence against the elderly is a single, repetitive act or omission of appropriate action that occurs in an interpersonal relationship and causes harm or discomfort to an elderly person. The lack of a clear definition is one of the challenges of this concept. The present study has been conducted to explain the concept, provide ab operational definition and present some empirical references to violence against the elderly with a hybrid approach.

The authors compared the effects of a new muscle relaxant (cisatracurium) in young and elderly adults and used pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling to identify factors explaining differences in time course of effect. Methods Thirty-one young (18-50 yr) and 33 elderly ( &gt; 65 yr) patients anesthetized with nitrous oxide, isoflurane, and fetanyl were studied.
