Participation in leisure activities has been associated with a lower risk of dementia. It is unclear whether increased participation lowers the dementia or declines during preclinical phase dementia.We examined relation between and prospective cohort 469 subjects older than 75 years age who resided community did not have at base line. We frequency enrollment derived cognitive-activity physical-activity scales which units measure were activity-days per week. Cox proportional-hazards analysis...
OBJECTIVES: To study the epidemiology of gait disorders in community‐residing older adults and their association with death institutionalization. DESIGN: Community‐based cohort study. SETTING: Bronx County research center at Albert Einstein College Medicine. PARTICIPANTS: The Aging recruited 488 aged 70 to 99 between 1999 2001. At entry during annual visits over 5 years, subjects received clinical evaluations determine presence neurological or nonneurological abnormalities. MEASUREMENTS:...
The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has brought with it a plethora new challenges. In the beginning pandemic, efforts were focused on pathogenesis and treatment; however, over time, understanding managing post-COVID sequelae have become frontier.1, Generally, majority individuals show symptom resolution within 3–4 weeks COVID-19, but substantial number people continue to experience lingering effects develop...
COVID-19 has been a transformative novel disease in modern health care. Unlike many other viral illnesses, not only causes multiorgan damage during the acute stage of infection, but also potential to cause long-term sequelae, as part post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) or long-COVID syndrome. In 2022 study released by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,1 electronic record (EHR) data were examined from time period March 2020–November 2021 persons United States aged ≥18...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can produce prolonged multi-organ system dysfunction and a worsened quality of life, condition known as Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC). In response, clinics have emerged dedicated to the treatment individuals with PASC.To better understand current characteristics these clinics, barriers they face, interest in collaboration between clinics.A cross-sectional survey study.Clinicians working within PASC...
In the spring of 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 evolved into a worldwide pandemic, forcing traditional face-to-face healthcare to standstill.

The feasibility performing remote musculoskeletal neurological...
The aim of the study was to present: (1) physiatric care delivery amid SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, (2) challenges, (3) data from first cohort post-COVID-19 inpatient rehabilitation facility patients, and (4) lessons learned by a research consortium New York Jersey institutions.For this clinical descriptive retrospective study, were extracted patient records treated at facilities (May 1-June 30, 2020) characterize admission criteria, physical space, precautions, bed numbers, staffing, employee...
This randomized controlled trial (NCT03475316) examined the relative efficacy of 6 months social ballroom dancing and treadmill walking on a composite executive function score, generated from digit symbol substitution test, flanker interference, while talking tasks. Brain activation during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) versions these tasks were secondary outcomes. Twenty-five dementia-at-risk older adults (memory impairment screen score ≥3 to ≤6 / or an Alzheimer’s disease-8...
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), commonly known as concussion, is one of the most common neurologic disorders [1]. Based on emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and deaths, an estimated 1.7 million people sustain a (TBI) annually in United States [2]. About 80% TBIs that occur each year are mild TBI [3]. Since many not evaluated medical setting, true annual incidence mTBI thought to be much higher. Estimates sport-related range from 1.6–3.8 per [4]. Research indicates up 15% persons...
