Filter by:The study included 15 geriatric individuals over the age of 65 staying in Kızılay Zeynep Nedim Oyvar Nursing Home and Elderly Nursing Home. Participants in the study were rehabilitated by playing exergame games with Xbox 360 KinectTM for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Before starting the application, the participants were given a demographic information form, Tampa kinesiophobia scale for kinesiophobia, Nintendo Wii balance platform and basic balance game for balance measurement, geriatric depression scale-short form for depression, cognitive functions, and mini-mental state test for the lower extremities. functional strength and risk of falling. The shuttle test was applied 5 times. These tests will be repeated at the end of 8 sessions and before and after values were measured. As a result of the analysis, the effects of Xbox 360 KinectTM games on kinesiophobia, balance, lower extremity muscle strength, depression, and cognitive functions in geriatric individuals with kinesiophobia were investigated.
Inactivity and bedrest during hospitalisation have numerous negative consequences, and it is especially important that older patients are mobile during hospitalisation. In this study the investigators aimed to identify whether the introduction of formal education of clinical staff and a Mobilisation Initiative could increase mobilisation of patients in a geriatric and a medical ward. Furthermore, the investigators wanted to explore patients' and health care staffs' view on facilitators and barriers for mobilisation during hospitalisation
The goal of this Clinical Trial is to analyze effect of Ophiochepalus striatus extract on serum IGF-1 and IL-6 levels in elderly patients with sarcopenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can giving Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase IGF-1 levels in elderly people with sarcopenia? 2. Can administration of 2x5 grams dose of Ophiocephalus striatus extract for 2 weeks reduce IL-6 levels in elderly with sarcopenia? 3. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks reduce the SARC-F score in elderly people with sarcopenia? 4. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle mass in elderly people with sarcopenia? 5. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle strength in elderly people with sarcopenia? 6. Can administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks improve physical performance in elderly with sarcopenia? Participants will: 1. Consume Ophiochepalus striatus extract 2x5 grams a day. 2. Checked blood before and after the intervention. 3. Measured muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance before and after the intervention.
Retrospective, multicenter, French cohort study. Data from patients over 75 years of age who visited the emergency department on 12 and 13 December 2022 could be collected until their discharge from hospital and for a maximum of 30 days. Data from patients who spent the night on a stretcher (stretcher group) as well as from a group of patients who spent the night in a bed (hospital bed group) after a visit to the emergency department will be collected. The characteristics of the patients and their stay in the emergency room will be collected, and their hospital stay (truncated at 30 days) will be analyzed in terms of morbidity and mortality. Main objective: To study the truncated 30-day in-hospital mortality of patients who spent a night on a stretcher in the emergency department. Secondary objectives: To describe the characteristics and hospital stay of patients who spent a night on a stretcher To compare the morbidity and mortality of patients who spent the night on a stretcher with patients who spent the night in an inpatient bed after an emergency visit;
Aging is a physiological process. In the elderly, loss of functional reserve in all organ system, regression in anabolic processes and increase in catabolic processes are observed s (1). The number of geriatric patients is also increasing in our country. Technological developments in anesthesia and surgery technics show that we will provide medical services to more elderly patients over time(2). Cystatin C is excreted only by the kidney (7, 8). Serum cystatin C level is not affected by body muscle mass, age and gender. The half-life is short. Because of all these features, it is thought to be more sensitive than creatinine in evaluating kidney functions (8,9). In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of low flow and normal flow desflurane anesthesia applied in geriatric patients on postoperative liver and kidney functions and serum cystatin C levels.
To evaluate the impact of clinical pharmacist-led appropriate acid suppression therapy stewardship program in hospitalized older patients.
This study was planned to examine the effect of aerobic exercises on depression in geriatric individuals with a diagnosis of depression.
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness, and often accompanied by impaired physical functioning, depressed mood, as well as deficits in positive affect (PA).Standard behavioral therapies typically focus on minimizing negative thoughts and emotions associated with pain and yield only modest treatment effects. Efforts are therefore needed to develop more effective psychological treatments for chronic pain by identifying new targets for intervention. The objectives of this Stage I randomized pilot trial are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and the impact of a previously developed online positive affect (PA) skills intervention -LARKSPUR (Lessons in Affect Regulation to Keep Stress and Pain UndeR control)-in a sample of Hispanic, non-Hispanic other, and non-Hispanic African American patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
In the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks in daily life has become an important issue. The most important measure taken to prevent contagion is the use of masks. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of surgical masks used in every moment of life on physical performance in elderly individuals.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a restrictive lung disease characterized by impaired lung function, exercise limitation and skeletal muscle dysfunction. There is limited data on skeletal muscle function in ILD, most of which are focused on the lower limb muscles. The aim of this study were to evaluated the change of pectoralis muscle strength and relationship of pulmonary function with pectoralis muscle strength.
