-
Nutritional intake is often compromised in elderly, multimorbid patients.
-
In the current experiment we conducted a multi-level analysis of age-related characteristics in the hippocampus of young adult (3 months), middle-aged (12 months), and old (24 months) Fisher 344xBrown Norway hybrid (FBNF1) rats.
-
The authors examined the relationship between cognition and gait velocity, performed with and without interference, in elderly participants.
-
In humans, age-related memory impairments begin in mid-life and cognitive weakening continues with advancing age.
-
Most rural focus group participants voiced unqualified acceptance of death and placed few conditions on death, beyond their hope that it would be quick and peaceful.
-
There was also evidence to suggest that the strengths and weaknesses of each method were considered when applying a method to a specific illness.
-
Cognitive function and peripheral glucose regulation both decrease with age.
-
This article reviews the state-of-the-art research in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from several perspectives: (1) Sex differences: PTSD is more frequent among women, who tend to have different types of precipitating traumas and higher rates of comorbid panic disorder and agoraphobia than do men.
-
Studies have suggested that teens with alcohol use disorder (AUD) can demonstrate memory deficits, but the underlying neuroanatomical substrates are unclear.
-
Self-esteem, the value we place on ourselves, has been associated with effects on health, life expectancy, and life satisfaction.
-
There was a trend toward increased risk of being assaulted in the last year associated with being in a non-SCU facility.
Why it matters
This study compared nursing aides in rural nursing homes with and without dementia special care units. It found that those in special care units reported less exposure to disruptive behaviors and lower job strain, but it does not address treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
-
According to the NH staff, fairly good quality care was provided, but the psychosocial and spiritual aspects of care need to be addressed more in the last days of the dying NH patient's life.
-
The increasing burden of chronic disease demands that palliative care clinicians address the needs of patients with non-malignant disease.

Study design descriptive correlational design.
-
Factor analysis of the Caregiver Strain Index revealed three dimensions of strain (role, personal, and emotional) related to caregiving.
-
Early hypotheses on the pathophysiology of major depression were based on aberrant intrasynaptic concentrations of mainly the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine.
-
This result replicates previous findings of smaller hippocampal volumes in PTSD patients, but in an underinvestigated population, suggesting that either smaller hippocampal volume is a predisposing factor in the development of PTSD or that damage occurs within months of trauma, rather than a number of years.
-
Studies in macaque monkeys indicate that the perirhinal cortex in the temporal lobe participates in object memory.
-
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) was proposed as an umbrella term to include subjects affected with any degree of cognitive impairment resulting from cerebrovascular disease (CVD), ranging from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to vascular dementia.
-
Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) gradually lose their cognitive competence, particularly memory, and the ability to perform daily life tasks.
-
There is wide agreement that spatial memory is dependent on the integrity of the hippocampus, but the importance of the hippocampus for nonspatial tasks, including tasks of object recognition memory is not as clear.
-
The most commonly encountered clinical conditions presenting with cognitive failure (CF) are delirium, dementia and amnestic disorders.
-
On the basis of these results, we recommend that discussions that include NHPs, family members, and nurses concerning decisions about possible future situations be held on a regular basis.
-
Hippocampal volume reduction has been reported in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and is hypothesized to be associated with traumatic childhood experiences.
-
Delirium is a common neurobehavioral syndrome that occurs across health care settings which is associated with adverse outcomes, including death.
