Abstract:
The research of new therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular diseases has seen in the last 15 years the introduction of a new participant: pericardial adipose tissue (PAT). This tissue is able to modulate cardiac function and its volume was sometimes linked to risk of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) isolated from PAT are considered as the best suitable for new regenerative strategies aiming at healing ischemic myocardium. Although the interests in understanding the functions and the formation of pericardial adipose tissue are high, the current knowledge on

Abstract:
Mobility safety, especially fall prevention, plays a significant role in successful aging for older adults. Fall preventive programs aim to reduce risks for mortality from fall-related injuries among older adults. However, the covariation between personal perceptions of falls and factors and confidence of self-management in falls (CSMoF) is still under-studied despite its importance to fall prevention. Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model, this dissertation aimed to investigate the relative contribution of CSMoF in relation to fall risk self

Falls have a major impact on hospital services, are an important cause of carer strain and admission to long term care.

However, no UK studies have evaluated the role of screening older people living in the community and offering those at high risk a falls prevention programme.

It has been well-established that patient fall prevention includes staff education and hourly rounding in addition to adequate risk assessment.

The purpose of this quality improvement project was to: (a) educate staff on the process of properly performing hourly rounding and (b) and achieve a decreased incidence of falls from the current fall rate.

Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease which is characterized by resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability.

The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for falls and mortality in PD, to assess the clinical correlates of balance and mobility, and to evaluate the association between orthostatic hypotension

As Darkness Falls is a composition that explores our interaction with several aspects of darkness through the use of musical imagery. The imagery attempts to reflect the moods, feelings, and impressions of a person as he or she interacts with darkness. The non-programmatic character of the composition allows listeners to superimpose their own experiences onto the musical tapestry in order to manifest a personal connection between the listener and the music. As Darkness Falls is a composition scored for a minimum instrumentation of piccolo, 6 flutes, 3 oboes, 3 bassoons, 9 B-flat clarinets, B-f
