The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread globally. laboratory diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection relied on nucleic acid testing; however, it some limitations, such as low throughput and high rates false negatives. Tests higher sensitivity are needed to effectively identify infected patients. This study developed fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassays determine IgM IgG antibodies in human serum. assay performance been evaluated at 10...
In the field of sports training and teaching, stretching is regarded as a highly valuable technique, particularly in its capacity to facilitate gradual acclimatization body exercise state during warm-up session means enhancing flexibility qualities. As research on athletic continues deepen, discussion respective advantages static dynamic becoming increasingly prominent. this study, was selected primary intervention investigate effects varying durations legs male students majoring sport...
The present study utilized advanced psychometric methods (i.e., Rasch analysis and confirmatory factor [CFA]) to evaluate the structure of Multiple Intelligence Scale (MIS) its validity among Taiwanese older adults. A cross-sectional design using convenience sampling was conducted 200 community-dwelling participants aged 65 years or older. analyses showed that MIS had good unidimensionality. Among various CFA models testing structure, exploratory structural equation modelling performed best...
Abstract Background Physical resilience is known to minimize the adverse outcomes of health stressors for older people. However, validated instruments that assess physical in adults are rare. Therefore, we aimed validate Resilience Instrument Older Adults (PRIFOR) fill literature gap. Methods Content analysis with content validity was first carried out generate relevant items assessing adults, and 19 were developed. Psychometric evaluation then tested on 200 (mean [SD] age = 76.4 [6.6]...
Background Frailty is highly prevalent in hospitalized older patients and may increase the risk of adverse health outcomes. Understanding experiences management strategies they use to recover from frailty crucial developing appropriate interventions. Purpose This study was designed explore adults frailty. Methods Using purposive sampling, semistructured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 16 Data analyzed using content analysis. Results The participants classified into three phases,...
The relationship among physiologic reserve, intrinsic capacity, and physical resilience has not been examined, a conceptual model that includes these key determinants of healthy ageing is needed. This study aimed to test using real-world data determine the relationships resilience, clinical outcomes.
The 16-item Physical Resilience Instrument for Older Adults (PRIFOR) has good clinimetric properties; however, a shortened PRIFOR would greatly enhance physical resilience measurements in clinical settings. current analysis aimed to reduce the number of while maintaining its properties, emphasizing on factor structure and convergent validity. A longitudinal study was conducted among 863 patients aged 65 years or older. Four items with high loadings were selected generate short version...
Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and clarify risk factors DVT in patients with femoral neck fracture. Methods A self-designed questionnaire used collect clinical data 1209 fracture our hospital from January 2019 December 2019. content mainly includes general information, past medical history, history present illness, operation related occurrence DVT. collected were entered into Excel analyze Chi square test binary...
Aim To investigate incidence, reasons, risk factors and outcomes for inappropriate use of urinary catheters in hospitalized elderly patients. Methods The prospective study enrolled 321 patients aged 65 years older with a catheter placed within 24 h hospitalization. Collected data included characteristics use, reasons mortality, length hospital stay, time to first removal catheter, remaining place at discharge, catheter‐associated tract infections complications, change activities daily...
Abstract BACKGROUND The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread globally. laboratory diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection relied on nucleic acid tests. However, there are many limitations tests, including low throughput and high rates false negatives. More sensitive accurate tests to effectively identify infected patients needed. METHODS This study developed fully automated chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) determine IgM IgG antibodies in...
Background Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) are scheduled, patient-focused communication mechanisms among multidisciplinary providers in the intensive care unit (ICU). Objective i-Dashboard is a custom-developed visualization dashboard that supports (1) key information retrieval and reorganization, (2) time-series data, (3) display on large touch screens during MDRs. This study aimed to evaluate performance, including efficiency of prerounding data gathering, accuracy, exchange, clinical...
Introduction: Nurses undertaking air ambulance service encounter environmental, equipment, and personnel limitations during their work. Moreover, they must cope with various types of injuries illnesses, as well changes in patient conditions. These factors pose a significant pressure on nurses. Currently, there is lack qualitative research the experiences nurses performing tasks. The purpose this study to explore service, focus capturing personal perceptions regarding field Methods: Twelve...
Background Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) children have difficulty living and limited movement due to impaired vestibular function reduced balance ability. Objectives The present study evaluated the effects of Latin dance training on SNHL children. Methods Thirty with no difference in ability were randomly divided into two groups, group (LTG, n = 15) control (CONG, 15). Vestibular function, timed eyes-closed static (ECS) functional reach test (FRT) measured before after intervention, a...
Aims and objectives To explore the incidence, associated factors adverse outcomes for initial inappropriate use of urinary catheters in hospitalised older patients. Background Urinary can lead to substantial complications. The related with catheter among patients have not been studied. Design Prospective cohort study. Methods A total 321 admitted hospital southern Taiwan having placed within 24 hours admission were recruited. Demographic factors, voiding function history, health conditions...
Aim To examine the effects of a simplified reablement program on physical function and quality life in hospitalized older patients. Methods The randomized controlled trial enrolled 114 patients aged ≥65 years who, 2 weeks before admission, had been able to walk independently. Patients group received supervision assistance carry out 30 min daily during their hospital stay. reminding only oral encouragement continue for daily. control usual care that included medical intervention consistent...
This study was aimed to investigate the application of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibodies in diagnosis COVID-19 infection.This enrolled a total 178 patients at Huangshi Central Hospital from January February 2020. Among them, 68 were infected, confirmed with nucleic acid test (NAT) CT imaging. Nine suspected group (NAT negative) fever other respiratory symptoms. 101 control diseases negative infection. After serum samples collected, tested by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for all...
