Sarcopenia is prevalent in older people, and related to survival disability. There are no data on sarcopenia evaluated according European Working Group Older People criteria for nursing home residents Turkey. We aimed evaluate the prevalence of associated factors with among Turkey.The study cohort consisted individuals aged over 65 years living Seyranbağları Nursing Home Rehabilitation Center Ankara, Besides demographic medical data, Mini-Mental State Examination, activities daily living,...
<i>Background:</i> The oxidative stress theory of aging is one the most widely acknowledged theories aging. intake fruits and vegetables with antioxidant power associated a reduced incidence many chronic diseases <i>Objective:</i> effects ingesting garlic on plasma erythrocyte parameters elderly subjects were investigated in this study. <i>Methods:</i> 13 (mean age 70.69 ± 4.23) participated They ingested at daily dose 0.1 g/kg b.w. for 1 month. Before...
Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationship between mortality and sarcopenia defined by criteria European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People older nursing home residents Turkey. Methods This an observational prospective study. Nursing who were aged than 65 years living Seyranbagları Home Rehabilitation Center (Ankara, Turkey) recruited for main outcome measure mortality. Diagnosis carried out according criteria. Bioelectrical impedance analysis used skeletal muscle...
Abstract Objectives Nitrosative stress is defined as a condition in which oxidative accompanies the presence of excess NO and they both may alter integrity red blood cell membrane (RBC). In this study, age- sex-related effects nitrosative on osmotic fragility RBC were investigated using superoxide donors isolated from participants. Methods A total 119 men women volunteers, young old, provided samples for study. The precursor l -arginine, Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NMMA,...
An increase in the use of health-related mobile applications is expected future. It believed that are valuable tools for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. The to improve medication adherence older adults effective, but it must be developed based on special needs high quality long-term use. aim this Delphi survey study develop content a application aimed among by obtaining views from panel including professionals, patients patient care givers. online method was implemented...
The effects of apple consumption on plasma and erythrocyte antioxidant parameters elderly subjects were investigated in this study. Fifteen (mean age 71.86 +/- 4.17) participated the They consumed an a day for 1 month. Before after period, fasting blood samples obtained, oxidant (malondialdehyde [MDA]) (superoxide dismutase [SOD], glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px], catalase [CAT], potential [AOP]) studied. MDA AOP levels studied plasma, SOD, GSH-Px, CAT activities measured erythrocytes. In...
In Parkinson's disease (PD), non-motor symptoms may occur such as autonomic dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate both parasympathetic and sympathetic cardiovascular dysfunction in older PD cases. 84 cases 58 controls, for a total of 142, participated the study. Parasympathetic tests were performed using electrocardiography. Sympathetic assessed by blood pressure measurement 24-hour ambulatory measurement. The prevalence orthostatic hypotension patients was 40.5% 24.1% control group (p> 0.05)....
Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of both sarcopenia and diabetes. Although risk is increased people with type 2 diabetes, relationship between oxidative antioxidant status among older diabetes population not well studied. The aim this present study was to evaluate elderly diabetic patients.
Goals The aim of this study was to determine the factor(s) independently affecting HBcAg expression pattern in HBV-infected livers. Background Subcellular localization have been found be related activity liver disease, hepatocyte proliferation rate and level HBV replication. Study A total 98 patients with biopsy proven chronic hepatitis B were included. proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunohistochemically detected. its relationship histologic index, ALT levels, PCNA score DNA...
Objectives: Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) is an ideal radioisotopic method having a high correlation with inulin clearance for the determination of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Different formulas like creatinine (CrCl) in 24 h urine samples, Cockroft–Gault formula (CGF), and modification diet renal disease (MDRD) are being used to come up estimate. In this study, we compared 99mTc-DTPA mentioned above attempt best identify that would yield nearly GFR...
In this study, the importance of plasma viscosity (PV) as a biomarker in differential diagnosis dementia subtypes especially Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular (VaD) was investigated. Our study recruited 45 patients with AD, 35 VaD, control participants. Individuals inflammatory disease, infection, heart, liver, renal failure, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate C-reactive protein levels were excluded from study. The cases underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment. PV measurements...
