Association Between Walking Speed and Urinary Incontinence in the Older Women. Which Patients Should be Referred to Geriatricians?

OBJECTIVE: Primary end-point of this study was to detect if there is an association between walking speed and urinary incontinence in older women and secondarily to detect an association between urinary incontinence with other geriatric syndromes.STUDY DESIGN: This is a prospective and cross-sectional study. Three hundred and eighty-nine old aged women admitted to the Geriatrics Department of Ankara University were enrolled and urinary incontinence and type of urinary incontinence, Handgrip strength test, Timed up and Go test, Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, Lawton Index of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, Mini Nutritional Assessment, Mini-Mental State Evaluation, Geriatric Depression Scale, Body Mass Index (BMI) of these participants were recorded. Association of urinary incontinence and these parameters were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age of the study population was 68 (58-86 years of age). Two hundred and fifty-eight (66.32%) had hypertension, 122 (31.36%) had diabetes mellitus, 51 (13.11%) had asthma/Chronic obstructive lung disease, 49 (12.59%) had coronary artery disease and 9 (2.31%) had cerebrovascular disease. One hundred and seventy-eight (45.7%) patients had urinary incontinence (88 urge, 55 stress, 35 mixed). One hundred and eight (27.76%) of patients had Mini-Mental State Evaluation score ≤23. Patients with urinary incontinence detected to have a longer duration of Timed Up and Go test, higher Geriatric Depression Scale score and BMI with p-values 0.005, 0.004, and &lt;0.01 respectively; and lower Activities of Daily Living (Katz-Activities of Daily Living) score with a p-value of &lt;0.01 results. Mini-Mental State Evaluation and Mini Nutritional Assessment scores were not statistically different between the continent and incontinent group.CONCLUSION: Whenever urinary incontinence is detected in an older woman, geriatrician referral should be considered since urinary incontinence is associated with decreased walking speed, Handgrip strength test, Activities of Daily Living, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living or increased Geriatric Depression Scale; any of which is a symptom or result of at least one geriatric syndrome.

Immunohistochemical localization and distribution of Cajal cell in the intestine of rabbit

A total of ten male local rabbits were used, a one centimeter was taken from the small intestine as well as from the colon. H&amp;E and Masson's Trichrome stains were used to stain the slides. Location, shape and size, number/section in each segment of the intestine, and surface area of nerve plexuses/ &micro;m&sup2; were studied. The CD117 was used to express the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC). Myenteric plexus (MP) morphology and distribution in the intestine provide interpretation for intestinal peristaltic motility. The current study showed that Auerbach's plexuses (AP) had an oval or elliptical shape in the duodenum and ileum while appearing spherical in the jejunum and located either between two layers of tunica muscularis or within the internal circular muscular layer (ICML). In contrast, the AP of the colon appeared as a line of neurons in the exact location along the whole wall. ICC in this study showed high expression in the colon, whereas their expression ranged from mild to moderate in three segments of the small intestine. In conclusion, most ICC were found distributed in different locations throughout the wall of the small intestine, whereas they concentrated near MP and within ICML of the colon's wall.

The Relationship Between Technological Innovation Ability, Atmosphere and Innovation Performance

Under the influence of the action mechanism of the enterprise innovation atmosphere, a technological innovation ability has become the first choice for Chinese start-ups to improve their performance and upgrade their transformation. By collecting the survey data of 223 Chinese start-ups, this article uses the method of multiple hierarchical regression to explore the relationship between technological innovation ability, innovation atmosphere, and innovation performance. The results show that the technological innovation ability has a significantly positive influence on the innovation performance of the surveyed start-ups. At the same time, resource development ability, marketing ability, and learning ability all have significant positive effects on innovation performance. The innovation atmosphere is positively regulating the relationship between resource development capabilities, learning capabilities and innovation performance. The atmosphere of innovation negatively regulates the relationship between market capacity and innovation performance.

Predictors of Gaming Behavior among Military Peacekeepers – Exploring the Role of Boredom and Loneliness in Relation to Gaming Problems

Abstract The aim of the current study was to explore gaming problems in post-deployment veterans and to investigate whether boredom and loneliness can predict levels of gaming problems. The general well-being of veterans post their deployments to war zones is linked to an array of negative health consequences, and veterans may be at risk for developing gaming problems after homecomings. Problems that may be related to engagement in gaming include coping with negative emotions, such as boredom and loneliness, which are often faced by homecoming veterans as well. The sample in this study comprised Afghanistan veterans (N = 246), with a mean age of 37.5 years (standard deviation = 9.6 years), and 8.8% of the veterans showed symptoms indicative of problem gaming. This is not higher than that found in the general adult population in Norway. Logistic regression analyses showed that boredom proneness (lack of internal stimulation) and enhancement motivation were independent significant predictors of gaming problems, after controlling for age, gender, coping motivation, social motivation, anxiety, depression, loneliness, lack of external stimulation, hazardous drinking, and combat exposure. These factors accounted for as much as 65.8% of the variance in gaming problem status. We conclude that veterans who are highly motivated by enhancement motives and score low on lack of internal stimulation may be prone to developing gaming problems.

Finno-Ugric Rune Song Tradition Revisited: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Värttinä's "Äijö"

Contemporary Finnish folk music, unlike internationally successful contemporary Finnish rock (HIM, Nightwish, The Rasmus), transmits Finnish and Finno-Ugric tradition in a reinterpreted form to international audiences. This article explores this transmission through a case analysis of Äijö, a song by Värttinä, "the brand name" of Finnish World Music. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) provides a unified framework, which allows for tan examination of how different folk music traditions and the practices of Western popular music have been used in Äijö. The data with which this research was undertaken consists of publicly available media texts representing different stages of the production, distribution and consumption of Äijö.

Parents of Children With Diabetes: What Are They Worried About?

Parental worries, specific to having a child with diabetes, have been associated with poor diabetes control. This study addressed three questions relating to this issue: Does parental worry affect the metabolic control of the child with IDDM? What specific aspects of diabetes are the most worrisome to parents? Do these concerns change with the child's age and disease duration? Parents of 93 children with IDDM were given a modified version of the Diabetes Quality of Life measure to evaluate diahetes-specific worries. No correlation was found between parental worry and the child's metabolic control. Parents of younger children expressed the largest amount of worry, yet the kinds of things that parents were most concerned about were the same, regardless of age or duration of the child's disease.

Regulation of the Intestinal Stem Cell Pool and Proliferation in Drosophila

Understanding the regulation of somatic stem cells, both during homeostasis and in response to environmental challenges like injury, infection, chemical exposure, and nutritional changes, is critical because their dysregulation can result in tissue degeneration or tumorigenesis. The use of models such as the Drosophila and mammalian adult intestines offers valuable insights into tissue homeostasis and regeneration, advancing our knowledge of stem cell biology and cancer development. This review highlights significant findings from recent studies, unveiling the molecular mechanisms that govern self-renewal, proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration of intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These insights not only enhance our understanding of normal tissue maintenance but also provide critical perspectives on how ISC dysfunction can lead to pathological conditions such as colorectal cancer (CRC).

The Luminosity of the Central Parsec of the Galaxy

The luminosity of the central 5 pc of the Galaxy -encompassing the inner regions of the rotating ring of dust and gas which surrounds the galactic center - emerges primarily at infrared wavelengths in the form of thermal emission from heated dust. The nature and location of the sources which heat the dust can be inferred from the spatial and temperature distribution of the thermal infrared emission (λ&gt;20um), from studies of the ionized gas in this region, and from direct imaging in the near infrared. These observations show that the principal heating sources within this 5-pc region are concentrated within the central parsec of the Galaxy and indicate that the luminosity of these sources is within a factor of two of 10 7 L O . The near-infrared observations of the compact sources at the galactic center do not reveal a single dominant source but suggest instead that the several components of the IRS-16 complex, taken together, may contribute the bulk of the luminosity; however, the data also permit a single object to dominate the energetics of this region. We draw attention to the striking morphological similarities between the galactic center and the innermost regions of the 30 Doradus nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud and speculate that the luminosity sources in the galactic center may resemble the early-type supergiants in 30 Doradus.

Effects of Phosphorus Spatial Availability on Root Morphology and Architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh

Phosphorus spatial availability significantly altered the growth of tap and lateral roots in Arabidopsis. Under homogeneous P conditions,either severe P deficiency or excess P supply could shorten primary root length and reduce lateral root density.Under heterogeneous P conditions,high P in the top and low P in the bottom significantly stimulated primary root elongation and lateral root density in the high P zone.This indicated that plant roots in the bottom could sense the low P signal,which then facilitates the formation and development of lateral roots in the high P zone so as to acclimate spatial variation of P availability in the soil.

Black tea supplementation augments redox balance in rats: relevance to aging

Several health beneficial effects have been attributed to tea consumption, most of the effects are due to the strong antioxidant property of tea catechins. The present study evaluates the effect of black tea extract (BTE) supplementation on the redox balance of rats at different stages in their life span. We have evaluated erythrocyte and plasma redox status in young (4 months), middle-aged (12 months) and old-aged (24 months) male Wistar rats, by quantifying an array of parameters linked to redox status. Our results show that BTE augments redox status, measured in terms of intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), plasma membrane redox system (PMRS) and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) of plasma, in rats from three different age groups. This study provides experimental evidence of a strong antioxidant property of black tea on rats in different stages of their lifespan.

An investigation of plasma insulin levels during starvation stress in Anabas testudineus (Bloch)

Prolonged periods of natural starvation are a common phenomenon encountered in fish during, aestivation and spawning migration. As a result of starvation there is depletion of endogenous energy reserves and hormones are known to effect metabolic changes during fasting. Hormones such as insulin are known to vary according to the nutritional status of the animal. In the present study, Anabas testudineus was subjected to short-term and long-term fasting regimes, and plasma insulin levels were measured using RIA method. The fasting fish showed a significant decline in the insulin levels during both the starvation periods, suggesting an effective feedback mechanism between starvation and insulin levels.

Magic Structures of H-Passivated 〈110〉

We report a genetic algorithm approach combined with ab initio calculations to determine the structure of hydrogenated 〈110〉 Si nanowires. As the number of atoms per length increases, we find that the cross section of the nanowire evolves from chains of six-atom rings to fused pairs of such chains to hexagons bounded by {001} and {111} facets. Our calculations predict that hexagonal wires become stable starting at about 1.2 nm diameter, which is consistent with recent experimental reports of nanowires with diameters of about 3 nm.

Mercury in the bottom sediments of the lower Vistula river ecosystem, Poland - A role of the anthropogenic factor

Total mercury concentrations were determined in surface layer of sediments collected in 1998-2001 from several locations along the Lower Vistula River, Poland. The wet digestion (HNO 3 -H 2 SO 4 ) method used for sample preparation was both repeatable and quantitative and allowed mercury determination by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS). The sediment samples collected from sites located very close to, or within, the urbanized and industrialized areas showed elevated mercury concentrations, reaching up to 370 ng/g dry weight on the average. Geochemical index (I geo ) approach was used to compare post-industrial mercury concentration in sediments with natural (pre-industrial) sediment mercury background.
