We investigated the effects of zerumbone (1 and 10 mg/kg) against hyperactivity, anxiety memory impairment in scopolamine-induced dementia Sprague-Dawley rats.Open field tests, elevated plus maze Morris water were performed to assess general locomotor activity, anxiety-like behaviours learning processes respectively rats pretreated with scopolamine.Scopolamine-treated showed high total stereotype, distance travelled open arena, reduced number entries arms, decreased percentage time spent...
In this article, we investigate how the concept of Care Biography and related concepts are understood operationalised describe it can be applied to advancing our understanding practice holistic person-centred care. Walker Avant's eight-step analysis method was conducted involving multiple database searches, with potential or actual applications identified based on discussions among all authors. Our findings demonstrate a novel overarching derived from conjunction other applicable across care...
Effective and accurate use of routinely collected health data to produce Key Performance Indicator reporting is dependent on the underlying quality. In this research, Process Mining methodology tools were leveraged assess quality time-based Emergency Department sourced from electronic records. This research was done working closely with domain experts validate process models. The hospital patient journey model used flow abnormalities which resulted incorrect timestamp in performance metrics....
Abstract Background The discrepancy between the number of admissions and allocation hospital beds means that many patients admitted under care a general medical service can be placed in other departments' wards. These are called ‘outliers’, their outcomes unknown. Aims To examine relation proportion time each patient spent ‘home ward’ during an index admission stay. Methods Data from F linders M edical C entre's journey database were extracted analysed. analysis was carried out on journeys...
The discrepancy between the number of admissions and allocation hospital beds means that many patients admitted to can be placed in units or wards other than which specialise patient's primary health issue (home-ward). These are called 'outlier' patients. Risk factors system outcomes care for diagnosed with dementia and/or delirium unknown. Therefore, aim this research was examine patient journeys people diagnoses, identify risk 'inlier' status (consequences) status. A retrospective,...
There are no agreed comprehensive tests for age-related changes to physical, emotional, mental and social functioning. Research into declining function focuses on those 75 years older little is known about in younger people. The aims of this project were (1) ascertain a test battery that could underpin community-based health screening programmes people aged 40-75 pilot both (2) recruitment (3) the utility, acceptability, response burden logistics.A total 11 databases searched using broad...
A prolonged stay for a patient within the emergency department (ED) can adversely affect outcome of their ensuing hospital admission.To investigate characteristics those eventual general medical inpatients who in ED awaiting decision to be admitted and then await bed.Data from Flinders Medical Centre's journey database were analysed. The analysis was carried out on 19 476 patients as an under General Medicine units.A less urgent Australian Triage Scale category significantly triage-to-admit...
Growing awareness of the health risks associated with sedentary behaviour have raised concerns about and safety office workers who spend as much 77% their work hours often for prolonged periods. In this research we look at association between building heating, ventilation air conditioning (HVAC), physical activity measured using ambient temperature. Two months Fitbit 1-min step count heartrate data from 15 office-based was used along desk-based USB temperature loggers capturing 15-minute...
Objective Rehabilitation for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) incorporates client-centred goal-setting and motivational support to achieve goals. However, face-to-face rehabilitation is time-limited. New therapy approaches which leverage care are warranted. Conversational agents (CAs) offer a human–computer interface person can converse. This study tested the feasibility, usability acceptability of using novel CA – RehabChat alongside rehabilitation. Design Mixed methods, single case...
Hospitals are learning to address the discrepancy between number of admissions and limited hospital beds. The increase in demand for beds urgency move patients out Emergency Department means that admitted can be placed other departments' wards. These called outliers. Investigating their outcomes care using administrative data is not a straightforward process. Aggregate statistical information alone may able discern some essential characteristics data. To discover insights especially when...
The working hours of a hospital affects efficiency care within the emergency department (ED). Understanding influences on ED time intervals is crucial for process redesign to improve patient flow.To assess characteristics that affect patients' transit through an ED.Retrospective cohort study from 2004 2010 268 296 adult patients who presented urban tertiary-referral Australian teaching hospital.After adjustment Australasian Triage Scale (ATS) category, every decade increase in age meant...
Population Medicine considers the following types of articles:• Research Papers -reports data from original research or secondary dataset analyses.• Review -comprehensive, authoritative, reviews within journal's scope.These include both systematic and narrative reviews.• Short Reports -brief reports research.• Policy Case Studies articles on policy development at a regional national level.• Study Protocols -articles describing protocol study.• Methodology -papers that present different...
Background Non-adherence to Tuberculosis (TB) medication is a serious threat TB prevention and control programs, especially in resource-limited settings. The growth of the popularity mobile phones provides opportunities address non-adherence, by facilitating direct communication more frequently between healthcare providers patients through SMS texts voice phone calls. However, existing evidence inconsistent about effect interventions on treatment adherence. Such are also seldom developed...
This research offers a generalizable Campus Mental Well-being Sense of Coherence Framework for improving student experience by classifying SES variables according to Antonovsky's salutogenic health logic (GRRs and SRRs) mapping these the Information Infrastructure Experience (IEF).
This paper provides a case study of the design process undertaken in producing mobile tablet memory assistant solution which was intended for older adults (>65yo) living with early stage loss. We adopted an overall framework consistent “living laboratory” methodology, associated principles are: co-creation, multi-stakeholder participation, active user involvement, real-life setting, and multi-method approach. describe here detailed steps provide examples application decisions outcomes,...
This paper aims to understand the student campus mental health, well-being and wellness ecosystem by systematically identifying synthesizing research reporting initiatives using these terms. It identifies differences similarities in usage identify digital health opportunities.
Technology use associated with habitual posture is linked the decline in mental well-being. The objective of this study was to evaluate potential improvement through game play. 73 children and adolescents were recruited, accelerometer data collected play analyzed. analysis reveals that game/app affects encourages upright/vertical posture.
Wearable consumer physical activity tracking devices (such as Fitbit®) which generate logs of step count data for users offer a simple and relatively inexpensive way to monitor ambulatory behaviour. However, researchers, the time granularity with incremental can typically be obtained using these devices, limits their usefulness particularly short duration events. This prevents wider use wearables non-fitness related purposes, such counts describe specific activities daily living. paper...
