Healthy Ageing and Associated Factors among the Older Adults Living in Government Social Welfare Home for Older Persons in Southern Thailand: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Institutionalized older adults tend to experience higher levels of impaired health conditions compared to older persons living in the community. Healthy ageing is a global objective, however, there is limited knowledge about promoting healthy ageing specifically among older persons in social welfare homes. Objective: To examine the prevalence and factors associated with healthy ageing among institutionalized older adults in government social welfare home for older persons (GSWHOP) in the complex societies of the Southern region of Thailand. Materials and Methods: The present study was an analytical cross-sectional study that included 126 older participants aged 60 years or older capable of self-help activities. The present study defined healthy ageing as having independent physical function, good mental health status with no depression, normal nutrition status, and good quality of life. Results: Approximately 33.3% of the older residents who were capable of self-help activities achieved healthy ageing. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of healthy ageing between men at 36.2% and women at 30.9% (p>0.05). After controlling for other covariates, the present study found that factors such as length of institutional stay, knowledge of health promotion behavior (HPB), perceived stress, received HPB related information, and exercise were significantly associated with healthy ageing (p<0.05 to p<0.001). Conclusion: The present study revealed that approximately one in three institutionalized older residents in southern Thailand met the criteria for healthy ageing. The findings indicate the importance of social welfare staff, administrators, and policymakers in implementing effective solutions. These include providing practical knowledge of HPBs, promoting regular exercise, and implementing stress management strategies for institutionalized older adults. Targeting individuals after their first year of institutional stay is crucial. These measures can improve the health and well-being of institutionalized older adults in the region.

Unveiling The Linguistic Journey: Investigating Word Class Acquisition In 3-5 Year Old Children Through A Qualitative Approach

Early childhood language development is a multifaceted and intricate process that includes the acquisitionof various linguistic components. However, occurrence of language delays or disorders among 3-5-years-old children is a significant challenge that can impede this progression. These delays or disorders can have asignificant impact on word class acquisition, which is a fundamental aspect of language development. Thisstudy aims to elucidate the diverse types of word classes observed in the language acquisition process ofchildren aged 3-5 years in North Aceh. Specifically, the investigation focuses on noun, verb, and adjectiveword classes. Employing a qualitative approach within a descriptive research framework. Thus, variousdata collection techniques including observation, listening, recording, note-taking, and documentation,were utilized in this study. Purposive sampling was employed, resulting in a sample size of 5 participants.These five participants were selected based on their age criteria, research site location, language proficiency,active engagement in interactions, as well as their availability and willingness to participate. The primarydata source encompassed children aged 3-5 years, with a particular emphasis on nouns, verbs, and adjectivesderived from conversational interactions. The results revealed three distinct types of word classes in thelanguage acquisition process of children aged 3-5 years. Firstly, the noun word class encompassed a rangeof entities, such as people, animals, fruits, flowers, food and drinks, tableware, sports equipment, clothing,plants, transportation equipment, and other nouns typically associated with the child’s environment.Secondly, the verb word class comprised verbs accompanied by objects and verbs without objects. Thirdly,the adjective word class characterized the state of nouns or objects, encompassing descriptors relatedto mental attitude, shape, size, color, mileage, temperature and humidity, power of energy, and senseimpressions. This study sheds light on the diverse nature of language learning in children aged 3-5 yearsby evaluating and analyzing these distinct word classes. Equally significant, by examining the linguisticpatterns and structures that emerged during this time period, this study contributes to our understanding of how children acquire language during the preschool years.

Malnutrition and Nutrition Support in Latin American PICUs: The Nutrition in PICU (NutriPIC) Study.

To characterize the nutritional status of children admitted to Latin American (LA) PICUs and to describe the adequacy of nutrition support in reference to contemporary international recommendations. The Nutrition in PICU (NutriPIC) study was a combined point-prevalence study of malnutrition carried out on 1 day in 2021 (Monday 8 November) and a retrospective cohort study of adequacy of nutritional support in the week preceding. Four-one PICUs in 13 LA countries. Patients already admitted to the PICU of 1 month to 18 years old on the study day were included in the point-prevalence study. For the retrospective arm, we included patients receiving nutritional support on the study day and with a PICU length of stay (LOS) greater than or equal to 72 hours. Exclusion criteria were being a neonate, conditions that precluded accurate anthropometric measurements, and PICU LOS greater than 14 days. None. Of 316 patients screened, 5 did not meet age criteria. There were 191 of 311 patients who were included in the point-prevalence study and underwent anthropometric evaluation. Underweight and length for age less than -2 z scores were present in 42 of 88 children (47.7%) and 41 of 88 children (46.6%) less than 24 months old, and 14 of 103 (13.6%) and (23/103) 22.3% of 103 children greater than or equal to 24 months, respectively. Evidence of obesity (body mass index > 2 z score) was present in 7 of 88 children (5.7%) less than 24 months old and 13 of 103 children (12.6%) greater than or equal to 24 months. In the 115 of 311 patients meeting criteria for the retrospective arm, a total of 98 patients reported complete nutritional data. The 7-day median (interquartile range) adequacy for delivered versus recommended enteral energy and protein requirement was 114% (75, 154) and 99% (60, 133), respectively. The NutriPIC study found that in 2021 malnutrition was highly prevalent especially in PICU admissions of less than 24 months old. Retrospectively, the 7-day median nutritional support appears to meet both energy and protein requirements.

Extending the age criteria of lung transplant donors to 70+ years old does not significantly affect recipient survival

ObjectivesTo determine the impact of older donor age (70+ years) on long-term survival and freedom from chronic lung allograft dysfunction in lung transplant (LTx) recipients. MethodsA retrospective single-center study was performed on all LTx recipients from 2002 to 2017 and a modern subgroup from 2013 to 2017. Recipients were stratified into 4 groups based on donor lung age (<18, 18-55, 56-69, ≥70 years). Donor and recipient characteristics were compared using χ2 tests for differences in proportions and analysis of variance for differences in means. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression was used to describe differences in long-term survival and freedom from chronic lung allograft dysfunction. ResultsBetween 2002 and 2017, 1600 LTx were performed, 98 of which were performed from donors aged 70 years or older. Recipients of 70+ years donor lungs were significantly older with a mean age of 55.5 ± 12.9 years old (P = .001) and had more Status 3 (urgent) recipients (37.4%, P = .002). After multivariable regression, there were no significant differences in survival or freedom from chronic lung allograft dysfunction between the 4 strata of recipients. ConclusionsLung transplantation using donors 70 years old or older can be considered when all other parameters suggest excellent donor lung function without compromising short- or long-term outcomes.

Clinical profile of hospitalised moderate category COVID-19 patients: Short study from a Tertiary Care Centre in Delhi.

The clinical profile of hospitalized moderate-category COVID-19 patients has been understudied globally and in India. The present study was conducted to study the clinical profile and assess the proportions of patients who progressed to severe disease and its predictors among moderate COVID-19 patients. In this single-center observational study, 100 moderate-category COVID-19 patients as per Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) criteria of age ≥18 years of either sex, excluding pregnant females from February to November 2021, were studied by analyzing their clinical profiles and assessing Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS-2), and chest computed-tomography severity score (CTSS) to predict progression to severe disease. Severe disease was defined as per MoHFW criteria. Out of 100 moderate-category COVID-19 patients, progression to severe disease was seen in 11 patients (11%), among which eight patients had expired, three patients were discharged, and the rest of the 89 patients (89%) who did not progress to severe disease were discharged. A higher age (62.2± 19.5 vs 54.8 ± 14.6 years), along with multivariate analysis revealing male sex (1.25 times), chronic kidney disease (2.86 times), leukocytosis (6.10 times), thrombocytopenia (1.04 times), anemia (9.3 times), a higher qSOFA score (3.6 times), and a higher NEWS-2 score on admission (1.56 times) had higher odds of progression to severe disease. A significant correlation (P < .05) of qSOFA score with serum LDH, ferritin, and hs-CRP levels; CT severity score with the serum ferritin, IL-6, and LDH levels; and NEWS-2 with serum LDH, hs-CRP, and ferritin levels were found. Moreover, the NEWS-2 score was found slightly better than qSOFA on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, with an area under the curve of 85.8% and 83.2%, respectively, predicting progression to severe disease. Our study revealed male gender, chronic kidney disease, leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, a higher qSOFA and NEWS-2 score on admission, and further, NEWS-2 score better than qSOFA on ROC curve analysis, with an area under the curve of 85.8% and 83.2%, respectively, in predicting severe disease among hospitalized moderate COVID-19 patients.

To evaluate the accuracy of the U60EH Wrist Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor in general population according to the Universal Standard (ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020). Subjects were recruited to fulfill the age, gender, blood pressure (BP) and cuff distribution criteria of the Universal Standard in a general population using the same arm sequential BP measurement method. A single cuff for wrist sizes 13.5-21.5 cm was used on this test device. According to Criterion 1, the mean difference of SBP between the test device and the reference device was 1.51 mmHg, with an SD of 6.48 mmHg. The mean difference of DBP was -0.44 mmHg, with an SD of 5.98 mmHg. The mean difference of both SBP and DBP was less than 5 mmHg, and the SD was less than 8 mmHg, which met the requirements. According to Criterion 2, the mean difference of SBP between the test device and the reference device was 1.51 mmHg, and the SD was 5.88 mmHg, which was less than 6.78 mmHg and met the requirements. The mean difference of DBP was -0.44 mmHg, and the SD was 5.22 mmHg, which was less than 6.93 mmHg and met the requirements. All results passed the Standard (ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020) requirements. The U60EH Wrist Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor can be recommended for home and clinical use.

Analysis of health indicators in medical workers

The health of the population is an important indicator of the high level of state development. Morbidity with temporary disability affects the working potential of the population and the economy as a whole. The purpose of the research is to study and analyze occupational morbidity among medical workers in order to further optimize the conditions and nature of work. The morbidity of the working-age population is characterized by a high number of cases and dura tion in days of diseases of the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the musculoskeletal system. Thus, according to the age and gender criterion, the incidence of the diseases of the circulatory system, blood and hematopoietic organs, respiratory organs, skin, and subcutaneous adipose tissue tends to increase among the young population under 40 years of age, while infectious and parasitic morbidity, diseases of blood and hematopoietic organs, and the incidence of the circulatory system diseases rise among the population over 40 years of age. The results of sociological monitoring showed that in about 70 % of cases, doctors noted a deterioration in their health status, but issued temporary disability leaves only in 30 % of cases. Nursing personnel also issued sick leaves only in 50 % of cases, while they felt a deterioration in their health status in 50 % of cases. The respondents indicated respiratory diseases, infectious and parasitic diseases, and diseases of the musculoskeletal system as the leading cause of temporary disability.

Mean age and body mass index at type 2 diabetes diagnosis: Pooled analysis of 56 health surveys across income groups and world regions.

Screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) targets people aged 35+ years and those with overweight/obesity. With mounting evidence on young-onset T2DM and T2DM patients with lean phenotypes, it is worth revising the screening criteria to include younger and leaner adults. We quantified the mean age and body mass index (BMI; kg/m2 ) at T2DM diagnosis in 56 countries. Descriptive cross-sectional analysis of WHO STEPS surveys. We analysed adults (25-69 years) with new T2DM diagnosis (not necessarily T2DM onset) as per fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL measured during the survey. For people with new T2DM diagnosis, we summarized the mean age and the proportion of each five-year age group; also, we summarized the mean BMI and the proportion of mutually exclusive BMI categories. There were 8695 new T2DM patients. Overall, the mean age at T2DM diagnosis was 45.1 years in men and 45.0 years in women; and the mean BMI at T2DM diagnosis was 25.2 in men and 26.9 in women. Overall, in men, 10.3% were 25-29 years and 8.5% were 30-34 years old; in women, 8.6% and 12.5% were 25-29 years and 30-34 years old, respectively. 48.5% of men and 37.3% of women were in the normal BMI category. A non-negligible proportion of new T2DM patients were younger than 35 years. Many new T2DM patients were in the normal weight range. Guidelines for T2DM screening may consider revising the age and BMI criteria to incorporate young and lean adults.

Compression microvibration: Experience of using the method for the physiotherapeutic treatment of cellulite

BACKGROUND: Cellulite treatment and figure correction are among the most demanded requests in aesthetic medicine centers, which determines the high social and medical and economic significance of the problem, stimulates the active use of modern medical technologies.&#x0D; AIM: evaluation of the effectiveness of the non-invasive method of compression microvibration in the treatment of cellulite in women of peri- and postmenopausal age.&#x0D; MATERIAL AND METHODS: A single center prospective cohort study was conducted in which 27 female volunteers with mild to moderate gynoid lipodystrophy took part. All participants completed the Endospheres Therapy course according to the standard protocol: 12 procedures for 60 minutes twice a week using the Endospheres Therapy Body compression microvibration apparatus. Before and after the completion of the course of procedures, anthropometric parameters (linear and weight dimensions of the body) were measured, fat, lean, active cellular and skeletal muscle mass, specific basal metabolism, total and extracellular fluid, bioimpedance phase angle were evaluated using bioimpedancemetry. To obtain a subjective assessment of the effectiveness and quality of the procedures received, all participants underwent anonymous testing.&#x0D; RESULTS: Under observation were 27 women, who made up 3 clinical groups of 9 women each in accordance with age criteria: group 1 ― before menopause (age 4049 years); group 2 ― menopause (5059 years) and group 3 ― postmenopause (6069 years). After the Endospheres Therapy course, the mean group body mass index values did not change, however, a weight loss of 3.47.4 kg, a decrease in waist and hips by 2.23.02.5 cm, 4.15.36.3 cm in the respective age groups. In the first group of participants, the fat mass index decreased by 16.4% (p 0.005), active cell mass increased by almost 15% (p 0.005), skeletal muscle mass ― by 13% (p 0.005), the specific basic metabolism ― by 10% (p 0.005), the value of phase angle after the course Endospheres Therapy increased statistically significantly by 16% (p 0.05). In other age groups, bioimpedance measurements were similar, but less pronounced. After the procedures, in some cases, study participants reported a slight tingling/squeezing sensation, slight muscle soreness, reminiscent of the state after exercise, and temporary slight redness of the skin.&#x0D; CONCLUSION: The results obtained allow us to state the effectiveness and safety of the use of Endospheres Therapy in the treatment of cellulite, as a pathogenetically substantiated method of physiotherapy that affects the improvement of the skin condition, the transformation of the fat component, the increase in cell metabolism, muscle tone, stimulation of lymphatic drainage and tissue trophism.

Cognition in older adults with healthy aging: analysis of the Mexican Health and Aging Study 2012-2015.

Maintaining older adults' health and well-being can be achieved through the optimization of physical and mental health, while preserving independence, social participation, and quality of life. Cognitive change has been described as a normal process of aging and it involves domains such as processing speed, attention, memory, language, visuospatial abilities, and executive functioning, among others. To describe cognitive changes in older adults with healthy aging. This is a study that involved data from 14,893 and 14,154 individuals aged >60 years or older from the 2012 and 2015 waves, respectively, who participated in the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Participants with healthy aging were identified and described in the MHAS-2012 wave and followed to 2015. Eight cognitive domains evaluated in the Cross-Cultural Cognitive Evaluation (CCCE,) as well as sociodemographic and health characteristics, were described. Criteria for healthy aging involved the following: CCCE ≥ -1.5 standard deviations above the mean on reference norms, independence on basic and instrumental activities of daily living, self-reported "life close to ideal," and preserved functional and social performance. From a total of n = 9,160 older adults from the MHAS-2012 wave, n = 1,080 (11.8%) had healthy aging. In the healthy aging group, the median age was 67 years (IQR: 63-73), 58.1% were female and the median for education was 6 (IQR: 3-8) years. The mean CCCE score was 57 (SD: 16.9) points. In the MHAS-2012 cross-sectional analysis, except for orientation, visuospatial abilities, and verbal fluency, all cognitive domain scores were lower with passing age. When comparing cognitive domain scores in the 225 older adults identified with healthy aging between the 2012 and 2015 MHAS waves, there were almost no observable differences. In the cross-sectional analysis, Mexican adults with healthy aging had lower scores in the verbal learning memory, visual scanning, numeracy, visual memory, and verbal recall domains', as well as lower global cognitive scores in the higher age groups. There were no cognitive changes in the 3 year follow-up, except for a lower gradient of scores in the verbal recall memory domain. Longer prospective studies are needed to characterize greater cognitive changes.

Deceased donor availability for uterus transplantation in Australia.

Uterus transplantation is an emerging treatment option for uterine factor infertility. Most uterus transplantation research programs use living donors, although this comes with considerable surgical and psychological risks and not all women desiring uterus transplantation will have an available living donor. A deceased donor program eliminates donor risks; however, the availability of deceased uterus donors is currently unknown in Australia. To establish the feasibility of a deceased donor uterus transplantation program in Australia and consider expanded inclusion criteria for this model. A retrospective review of the New South Wales (NSW) Organ and Tissue Donation Service database was undertaken to identify potential deceased uterus donors, with comparison to the broad deceased donor inclusion criteria from three international uterus transplantation trials including female, brain-dead, multi-organ donation, no major abdominal surgery, and <60 years of age. Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022, 648 deceased donors were available in NSW. Of these, 43% (279/648) were female and 67% of the women (187/279) were also multi-organ donors. When the brain-dead donor-only and age criteria (<60 years) were applied, a total of 107 deceased donors met the available criteria for uterus transplantation, with an average of 21 deceased donors per year in NSW. There appears to be adequate deceased donor organ availability to establish a deceased uterus transplantation program in NSW, Australia. Should interest in uterus transplantation increase, including criteria such as older and nulliparous donors could increase organ availability for a uterus transplantation program.

Poster 254: Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation Using Dowell Technique for the Treatment of Steroid-Associated Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Condyles: Arthroplasty-Free Survival at 5 and 10 Years

Objectives: Steroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral condyles is a known complication of long- term or high dose steroid exposure. This is a not infrequent situation for patients with inflammatory conditions such as Lupus or Ulcerative Colitis and in patients with malignancies leukemia requiring bone marrow transplant. Historically, osteonecrosis was a contraindication for osteochondral allograft transplantation (OATS), however, recent evidence has indicated OATS maybe a durable treatment option. While results using the shell OATS technique has been reported in the steroid-associated osteonecrosis population, there is a dearth of information on the long-term survival for the newer dowel OATS technique. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze survival of OATS using the dowel technique for the treatment of steroid-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral condyles. Methods: Institutional database was queried to identify eligible patients. Inclusion criteria included diagnosis of aseptic or secondary osteonecrosis of the distal femur, osteochondral allograft transplantation surgical treatment, dowel OATS technique, and history of steroid use for a medical condition. Exclusion criteria included previous cartilage restoration or arthroplasty surgery and incomplete records. No age criteria were used to exclude patients. Patient charts were reviewed for demographic details, information about underlying pathologic condition and steroid exposure, surgical details, and revision OATS or conversation to arthroplasty. Primary outcomes were arthroplasty-free survival and revision-free survival. Results: 27 knees in 25 patients with an average age of 27.6 years (range 16-59 years) were identified with an average follow up of 6.2 years (range 0.7-22 years). Medical conditions included 10 malignancies (5 post-bone marrow transplant) and 13 autoimmune diseases. Distribution of osteonecrosis of the femoral condyles included 1 isolated medial condyle, 5 isolated lateral condyles, 21 medial and lateral condyles. All patients underwent dowel OATS technique. Patients received on average of 2.2 grafts (range 1-5 grafts) with an average combined graft area of 6.67 cm2 (range 1.5 to 20.4 cm2). 10 patients had concomitant procedures and 10 patients had supplemental graft fixation. All patients were treated between 2006 and 2020. Arthroplasty-free survival was 88%, 85%, 60% at 5, 8, 10 years. Revision OATS or arthroplasty free survival was 81%, 77%, 55% at 5, 8, 10 years. Graft failures included 1 revision OATS at 7.7 years secondary to cartilage delamination and 4 conversions to total knee arthroplasty at 1.6, 1.9, 8.7, 9.5 years. Conclusions: Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation is an acceptable and durable treatment option in patients with steroid-associated osteonecrosis with 88% arthroplasty-free survival at 5 years and 60% arthroplasty-free survival at 10 years. Future studies should capture patient reported outcomes and investigate factors leading to arthroplasty conversion such as age at time of OATS, etiology of osteonecrosis, extent of osteonecrosis.

Validation of the Withings BPM Core Device for Self-Blood Pressure Measurements in General Population According to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/European Society of Hypertension/International Organization for Standardization Universal Standard.

Most of the scientific societies recommend assessing the accuracy of electronic devices for blood pressure (BP) measurements using established validation protocol. To determine the accuracy of the BP measurements using the Withings BPM Core device in the general population according to the "Universal Standard (ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020)". The Withings BPM Core is an oscillometric device measuring BP at the brachial level. The study was performed according to the "Universal Standard (ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020) protocol" using the same-arm sequential BP measurement method. Subjects (n ≥ 85) fulfilling the age, gender, BP, and cuff distribution criteria of the protocol were included. Analysis was performed as required by the Universal protocol using Criterion 1 - differences between observers' mercury sphygmomanometer reference measurements and test device BP values (test versus reference) and their standard deviation (SD); and Criterion 2 - The SD of the mean BP differences between the test device and reference BP per subject. Eighty-six subjects were selected, 85 of whom were included. The mean BP differences between the simultaneous two observers' measurements were -0.2 ± 2.1 mmHg for systolic BP (SBP) and 0.3 ± 2.1 mmHg for diastolic BP (DBP). For validation criterion 1, the mean difference ± SD between the reference and device BP values was -0.6 ± 4.8 mmHg for SBP and 0.1 ± 3.7 mmHg for DBP (≤5 ± 8 mmHg for both SBP and DBP). For criterion 2, the SD of the mean BP differences between the test device and reference BP per subject was 3.2/2.6 mmHg for SBP and DBP (≤6.91/6.95 mmHg). The results of this study showed that the Withings BPM Core oscillometric device for home BP measurement fulfilled the accuracy requirements of the (ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020) Universal protocol in the general population.

Некоторые аспекты совершенствования налогообложения имущества и доходов несовершеннолетних

The article is devoted to the study of the legal structure of guarantees of the rights of minors as a guarantee of property owners, which allows to identify a minor in tax relations as a taxpayer. It is established that the Russian legislation on taxes and fees does not put the fact of recognition of an individual as a tax payer depending on his age, property status and other criteria, but only on the presence of a minor object of taxation. On the basis of examples of judicial practice, the author identified gaps in the legislative regulation of relations in the field of taxes with the participation of minors.
