Evidence shows the use of interventions to prevent falls are costly to healthcare facilities. Using a sample of older adult patients who fell at least once during the intervention year of a three-year cohort study in one long term care nursing facility, at a continuing care community providing skilled nursing and assisted living, we provide detailed evidence of the number and costs of durable medical equipment and number and type of non- durable medical nursing care interventions utilized to prevent subsequent fall [...]

The study aims to evaluate the progressive increase in energy systems pollutant emissions due to the efficiency loss and continuous deterioration in the energy conversion process. The paper analyzes the GHG, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and fine particle emissions from vehicles, residential and commercial heating systems, public buildings, health centers, and industrial conglomerates, with the servicing time and degradation level. The analysis applies to various emitting gases or small particle systems, which gen [...]

The high cost of chemical coagulants for water treatment leads most people in rural communities to resort to readily available surface water, which is usually of low quality, exposing them to various waterborne diseases. It is in this light, that research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of a cheap enhanced natural coagulant prepared from Chrysophyllum albidium seeds for the treatment of contaminated water sampled from River Getsi, which serves as a source of potable water for the society. The coagulants s [...]

This study aims to validate two predictive mortality scores for patients with COVID-19 to support clinical decision-making in those who require hospitalization. The tomographic patterns found can be added to the original scores to increase their predictive power. Retrospective, analytical, observational, and cross-sectional studies were carried out in two phases. 489 medical records of patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at “Daniel A. Carrión” Hospital in Huancayo (located at 3,250 meters above sea level) were revi [...]

To describe the contribution of three classes of dietary fatty acids to all-cause mortality and age at death among middle-aged men followed up for 61 years until extinction. The cohort comprised 1712 men aged 40-59 years at entry examination in 1960, belonging to the Italian Rural Areas of the Seven Countries Study of Cardiovascular Diseases. A dietary survey allowed to estimate dietary fatty acids [saturated (SAFA), mono-unsaturated (MUFA), poly-unsaturated (PUFA) and their ratios (M/S, P/S)] that were fed as poss [...]

The spatial evolution of the epileptiform regime in neural networks can be alternatively described in terms of a statistical approach, dealing with average smooth, differentiable fields rather than discrete neural elements. After a brief review of mathematical methods for modeling epilepsy (the condensed matter vs. the neural mass models) together with their pros and cons, we introduce our continuous-space model for the pre-ictal scalar field and the ictal epileptiform vector flux in the form of the diffusion equat [...]

X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLHR) is a hereditary metabolic disease caused by the loss of phosphate through the renal tubules into the urine and an associated decrease in serum calcium and potassium phosphate, resulting in bone and dental abnormalities. We report this case, aiming to describe, through an 8-year follow-up case report, the clinical approach adopted in managing dental features in both primary and permanent dentition in a child diagnosed with XLHR. The oral manifestations were mainly premature e [...]
