Experts Recommend Strategies for Strengthening the Use of Advanced Practice Nurses in Nursing Homes

In 2003, The John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for Geriatric Nursing, New York University Division of Nursing, convened an expert panel to explore the potential for developing recommendations for the caseloads of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in nursing homes and to provide substantive and detailed strategies to strengthen the use of APNs in nursing homes. The panel, consisting of nationally recognized experts in geriatric practice, education, research, public policy, and long-term care, developed six recommendations related to caseloads for APNs in nursing homes. The recommendations address educational preparation of APNs; average reimbursable APN visits per day; factors affecting APNs caseload parameters, including provider characteristics, practice models, resident acuity, and facility factors; changes in Medicare reimbursement to acknowledge nonbillable time spent in resident care; and technical assistance to promote a climate conducive to APN practice in nursing homes. Detailed research findings and clinical expertise underpin each recommendation. These recommendations provide practitioners, payers, regulators, and consumers with a rationale and details of current advanced practice nursing models and caseload parameters, preferred geriatric education, reimbursement strategies, and a range of technical assistance necessary to strengthen, enhance, and increase APNs' participation in the care of nursing home residents.

Are serum lipid and lipoprotein levels related to dementia?

Although hyperlipidemia is known to contribute to vascular disease and it may play a role in dementia, specific studies for elderly are limited. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between dyslipidemia and dementia. In this study, 1251 patients admitted to the Hacettepe University Division of Geriatric Medicine were enrolled. On the basis of the mini mental state examination (MMSE), the clock drawing test (CDT) scores, the APA DSM-IV and the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria and the Hachinski ischemic score (HIS), the subjects were divided into four groups: Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and normal cognitive status (NCS). The lipoprotein levels were measured, and we analyzed the data using χ 2 and the one-way analysis of variance methods. Among the subjects, 14.8% had low high-density lipoproteins (HDL), 58.5% had high triglyceride (TG), 73.6% had high low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and 21.6% had high lipoprotein-a (Lp(a)) of our study population. There was no difference between the dementia subgroups and the NCS group in the lipoprotein levels. The only significant relationship was between high TG levels and the AD, as well as the MCI groups. Low HDL and high LDL are important problems in elderly. Although serum lipid levels, especially of Lp(a), has recently been thought to be related with dementia, our study suggests the absence of such a relationship. The national data regarding the elderly population should be evaluated on the basis of genetic and environmental factors in each country. The present study showing no significant relationship between Lp(a) and the cognitive status adds new information to the available literature.

Protocol for retrieval and analysis of breast implants.

The Center for Implant Retrieval and Analysis has been established at Washington University's Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery for the purpose of studying implantable devices retrieved after surgery or autopsy and assessing their condition after implantation. Since the early 1990s, significant experience has been gained in testing and analyzing silicone gel breast implants and, to a lesser extent, saline-filled devices. However, there has been no systematic method reported for collecting and evaluating these implants in a way that would permit different laboratories to compare their data. This article offers the plastic and reconstructive surgery community a standardized protocol for analyzing explanted silicone gel and saline-filled breast implants. The protocol gives surgeons a clearly defined approach for removing, handling, documenting, and shipping explanted breast implants. At the same time, biomaterials researchers can use the protocol to acquire implant data with reliable and reproducible methods. Because the study of saline implants has lagged behind the study of silicone gel implants, the article concludes with a demonstration of how this protocol can be applied to obtain mechanical properties data and use scanning electron microscopy to illuminate failure mechanisms of saline devices, including three explants removed after 20+ years in vivo.

Engineering Entrepreneurship: An Example of A Paradigm Shift in Engineering Education

AbstractThis paper describes a course on technology‐based entrepreneurship. Brown University's Division of Engineering has created a two‐semester course sequence designed to introduce students to entrepreneurship through a unique merger of classroom learning and industry participation. The course is open to advanced undergraduates from all engineering disciplines, and emphasis is placed upon recruiting almost half of the student participants from outside of engineering in order to develop “team building” skills. Local “parent companies” provide seed ideas or concepts to student groups who use skills learned in the classroom (both in this course as well as other courses) to develop and refine the parent company's idea and turn it into a viable simulated spin‐off business or new start‐up. Managers from the parent companies serve in an evolving role over the two‐semester sequence beginning as a “board of directors” for the spin‐off and eventually evolving into a potential source of start‐up capital (or possibly a customer for the products of the company). The faculty carefully manage the student‐company interface. Deliverables at the end of the two‐semester sequence include a business plan and a prototype product.

THE CHRONIC PROSTATITIS-CHRONIC PELVIC PAIN SYNDROME CAN BE CHARACTERIZED BY PROSTATIC TISSUE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS

Purpose: We performed a prospective study to confirm early results implying that intraprostatic tissue pressure is elevated in men with the chronic prostatitis-chronic pelvic pain syndrome. We planned to determine further whether this technique would detect a significant difference in inflammatory and noninflammatory categories IIIA and IIIB.Materials and Methods: A total of 48 patients with the chronic prostatitis-chronic pelvic pain syndrome, including 18 with inflammatory category IIIA and 30 with noninflammatory category IIIB disease, and 12 asymptomatic controls completed a Finnish version of the National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index. In addition, culture and microscopy of lower urinary tract segmented specimens, serum prostate specific antigen determination, transrectal ultrasound, uroflowmetry and ultrasound post-void residual urine measurement were done. All patients and controls also underwent independent intraprostatic right and left lobe tissue pressure measurement usi...

Education and solar conversion:: Demonstrating electron transfer

A simplified solar cell fabrication procedure is presented that uses natural anthocyanin or chlorophyll dyes extracted from plants. This procedure illustrates how interdisciplinary science can be taught at lower division university and upper division high school levels for an understanding of renewable energy as well as basic science concepts. Electron transfer occurs on the Earth in the mitochondrial membranes found in living cells, and in the thylakoid membranes found in the photosynthetic cells of green plants. Since we depend on the results of this electron and energy transfer, e.g. in our use of petroleum and agricultural products, it is desirable to understand and communicate how the electron transfer works. The simplified solar cell fabrication procedure, based on nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cells, has therefore been developed so that it can be inexpensively reproduced and utilized in the teaching of basic principles in biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. A water-based solution of commercial nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO 2) powder is used to deposit a highly porous semiconductor electron acceptor. This acceptor couples the light-driven processes occurring at an organic dye to the macroscopic world and an external electrical circuit. Materials science and semiconductor physics are emphasized during the deposition of the sintered TiO 2 nanocrystalline ceramic film. Chelation, complexation and molecular self-assembly are demonstrated during the attachment of the dye molecule to the surface of the TiO 2 semiconductor particles. Environmental chemistry and energy conversion can be linked to these concepts via the regenerative oxidation and reduction cycle found in the cell. The resulting device, made in under 3 h, can be used as a light detector or power generator that produces 0.4–0.5 V at open circuit, and 1–2 mA per square cm under solar illumination.

Making Place for a Comparative Scientist: Robert Means Yerkes at Harvard, 1902-1917

During the first decade of this century, Robert Meams Yerkes struggled to make a place for himself within Harvard University's Division of Philosophy as a comparative scientist. From the perspective of a young assistant professor, Yerkes'diary and letters permit a glimpse into the ail-too familiar struggle of establishing career and family.

Imprisoned for Debt

Though enforcement procedures for non-payment of fines and local taxes are necessary, Rona Epstein of Coventry University's Division of Law argues that enforcement by imprisonment is not only inefficient, in that the sums owed are cancelled by committal, but operates without any of the safeguards which normally govern use of this remedy of last resort, so that we fail to protect vulnerable defaulters.
