Abstract The behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are challenging aspects care. This study used machine learning models to predict the occurrence BPSD among community-dwelling older adults with dementia. We included 187 for model training 35 external validation. Demographic health data premorbid personality traits were examined at baseline, actigraphy was utilized monitor sleep activity levels. A symptom diary tracked caregiver-perceived triggers daily 12 classified into...
This study examines the complex identity issues faced by Henry Park, protagonist of Chang-Rae Lee’s novel Native Speaker, through lens Hannah Arendt’s concepts pariah and parvenu. By examining Henry’s experiences as a 1.5-generation Korean-American immigrant, this analysis elucidates tensions between cultural assimilation heritage preservation. The describes “Lesser Stranger”, nuanced state situated complete alienation full assimilation. Furthermore, draws parallels with Frantz Fanon’s Black...
Abstract Aims and objectives To explore nursing home residents’ perspectives on their relationships with other residents, family members staff. Background The cultivation of social is central to promoting well‐being in homes, as these allow staff be valued unique persons empowered partners care. Few studies have examined how residents perceive the networks, both within beyond facility. Design Qualitative secondary analysis. Methods We analysed individual group interviews obtained during...
Abstract Recent findings suggest that social disengagement in later life may result cognitive decline and increase risk of Alzheimer’s related dementias. However, little is known regarding the gender-specific longitudinal association between engagement cognition among middle-aged older adults. Using data from a nationally representative sample 2707 men 5196 women Korean study aging, we examined activity function. Results generalized estimating equation model showed compared to individuals...
Background Although disclosing the predictors of different behavioral and psychological symptoms dementia (BPSD) is first step in developing person-centered interventions, current understanding limited, as it considers BPSD a homogenous construct. This fails to account for their heterogeneity hinders development interventions that address underlying causes target subsyndromes. Moreover, influence proximal factors—circadian rhythm–related factors (ie, sleep activity levels) physical...
Empowering individuals to direct their own care is central person-centered and health policy. However, there limited knowledge of how “person-directed planning” (PDCP) can be achieved in particular settings. This study identifies key structures processes for operationalizing implementing PDCP nursing homes. Using participatory inquiry, we convened “stakeholder engagement sessions” with residents, families, staff, managers/administrators two North Carolina homes ( N = 24 sessions; 67 unique...
Non-pharmacological interventions are considered the first-line treatment for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD); however, traditional approaches have shown only small effect sizes. Mobile technology offers an opportunity to improve BPSD assessment management in people living with (PLWD). We aimed (1) develop a mobile application (app) featuring real-time diary, machine-learning-based prediction, individualized non-pharmacological care programs, including therapeutic...
The in situ state of assembly the human erythrocyte anion carrier (band 3) has been investigated by applying target size analysis on radiation-induced inactivation flux and degradation polypeptide band 3. Irradiation with a high energy electron beam resulted carrier-mediated intact cells, inside-out vesicles devoid cytoskeletal cytoplasmic proteins, insideout whose 3 protein partially proteolyzed, little change leak pathway.The showed single exponential function radiation dose from which was...
Abstract Aims To explore how behavioural symptoms of dementia are manifested among veterans in residential long‐term care settings, the context personal, interpersonal/social and environmental triggers manifestations differ between with without posttraumatic stress disorder. Design Secondary analysis using a mixed methods approach. Methods We analysed text data from stratified random sample 66 cases derived programme evaluation dataset Staff Training Assisted Living Residences‐Veterans...
Background Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is associated with a range of adverse birth-related outcomes, including stillbirth, low birth weight, preterm birth, and fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). With more than 10% women consuming worldwide, it increasingly important to understand how racial/ethnic variations affect FAS onset. However, whether race ethnicity inform risk assessment when daily ethanol intake controlled for remains unknown. Objective This study aimed assess disparities in...
Objective This study describes a research protocol for behavioral marker-based predictive model that examines the functional status of older adults with subjective cognitive decline and mild impairment. Methods A total 130 aged ≥65 years or impairment will be recruited from Dementia Relief Centers Community Service Centers. Data on psychosocial markers (e.g. physical activity, mobility, sleep/wake patterns, social interaction, impairment) collected using passive wearable actigraphy,...
