ABSTRACT Background Receiving home care improves the quality of life older adults. Nonetheless, limited studies have examined factors influencing pneumonia onset and discontinuation in adults living at home. Objective To clarify associated with receiving for dysphagia to identify risk discontinuation. Methods This study included 162 (≥ 65 years) who were care. Nutritional status, history pneumonia, swallowing function, activities daily living, comorbidities assessed. The participants...
To investigate whether masticatory movements in older patients with eating difficulties were associated oral motor function, physical and appropriate food textures.There are few reports on the association between textures difficulties.This cross-sectional study involved outpatients at a clinic that specialised swallowing rehabilitation. Masticatory evaluated as normal or abnormal path patterns. Oral functions assessed terms of status, muscle strength skills. The texture was determined based...
This study examined the association between masticatory movement and oral physical function in healthy older women using clinical assessments considering central motor control.A total of 107 independent (mean age, 74.37 ± 4.46 years; age range, 66-84 years) living community participated this cross-sectional study. The subjects selected were those aged 65 years or with at least 28 teeth without dysfunction, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disease, cerebrovascular neuromuscular disease....
Abstract Objectives This study examined the effectiveness of a newly developed work–family life support program on interface and mental health indicators among Japanese dual-earner couples with preschool child(/ren) using randomized controlled trial waitlist. Methods Participants who met inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups (n = 79 n 85, respectively). The comprised two 3-h sessions 1-month interval between them provided comprehensive skills by...
In this study, we examined the symptom scores and tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α), p55 soluble factor receptor (sTNFR1), p75 (sTNFR2) levels in sera nasal epithelial lining fluids (ELF) of 20 patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis from pre‐ to postseason period, compared results those 10 nonallergic control subjects. The allergic subjects were significantly ( P <0.01) higher than during early stage mid‐stage season. There no statistical differences between TNF‐α ELF post‐season....
緑地の樹木管理で発生する剪定枝葉をチップ化して公園に敷き均した際の,敷き均し後経過年数の違いによるチップ材の分解特性とチップ材下の土壌の化学的性質の変化を調査した。その結果,チップ材の分解特性は敷き均し後2~3年で最も活発になり,有機物分解によって植物に可給態養分を供給するチップ材の効果は敷き均し3~4年目で弱まることが示唆された。
This study aimed to develop a simple screening test for mastication, "the Sakiika (squid jerky) transport (STT), which evaluates the vertical jaw movement coordinated with lateral tongue during stage I transport, and investigate possibility of its clinical application.The included 73 people dysphagia (mean age, 78.5 ± 7.8 years; median 79.0 interquartile range, 75.0-84.0). The STT evaluated ability participant piece squid jerky placed on midline molar region. score was defined as number...
<h3>Objectives</h3> To examine the possible correlation between amount of antigen and level soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR), to assess its biologic significance in allergic reactions. <h3>Design</h3> Randomized control trial. <h3>Subjects</h3> Twelve volunteers with Japanese cedar pollinosis 10 healthy volunteers. <h3>Interventions</h3> The levels p55 sTNFR (sTNFR1) p75 (sTNFR2) samples serum nasal epithelial lining fluid (ELF) from 12 subjects were measured 4 times...
筆者らは,終末期がん患者の現状を確認するツールとしてIMADOKOを考案し在宅チームで使用している.今回,IMADOKOが,終末期がん患者と家族のよりよい療養場所の意思決定支援に及ぼす影響について明らかにするため看取りの実態を後方視的に調査した.対象患者はIMADOKO導入前の64名(男性/女性38/26名)と導入後の140名(男性/女性78/62名),平均年齢はいずれも74歳で主な原発巣は,膵臓,呼吸器,消化管であった.IMADOKO導入により在宅看取り率は有意に上昇した.IMADOKO導入後,IMADOKOは108名の患者とすべての家族に使用した.患者へのIMADOKO使用は看取り場所に関連を認めなかったが,患者と家族,患者家族対医療スタッフのコミュニケーションが有意に良好になった.IMADOKOは,よりよい療養場所選択の意思決定支援において有用である可能性がある.
