The world population pyramid has changed shape. However, this does not mean that societies have their negative concept of old age. Our study proposes an intergenerational service-learning program with 179 university students and 101 slightly depressed elderly people. results show the people who interacted improved in well-being. Those interacting young tended to lower stereotyped perception themselves, while others augment it. moderate stereotypes or without interaction.
Several studies have shown that pharmacological and cognitive treatments for Alzheimers’s disease improve function short periods, but fewer evaluated the efficacy of those longer (2-year) periods. An initial sample 68 subjects with mild Alzheimer’s underwent clinical evaluation. After evaluation, were assigned to four different groups participated in a 2-year follow-up study. Group 1 (n = 14) received combined drug stimulation, group 2 20) only treatment, 3 4 30) no treatment at all. Results...
Over three months of intensive training with a tactile stimulation device, 18 blind and 10 blindfolded seeing subjects improved in their ability to identify geometric figures by touch. Seven spontaneously reported 'visual qualia', the subjective sensation flashes light congruent stimuli. In latter evoked activation occipital cortex on electroencephalography (EEG). None who failed experience visual qualia, despite identical training, showed EEG recruitment cortex. humans visual-like...
A study was performed on patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in order to evaluate the efficacy of a combined treatment (donepezil plus cognitive training) both processes and affective states. Eighty-six subjects, 25 men 61 women, an average age 75.58 years, were studied. Almost all subjects had basic educational level. Donezepil administered at dose 10 mg daily along involving images everyday life reminiscent music; sessions took place Monday Friday lasted three quarters hour. The 12...
En este trabajo describimos las características histopatológicas de infecciones víricas cutáneas. El herpes simple y el virus varicela-zóster producen una vesícula intraepidérmica con grados variables necrosis epitelial. Son característicos los queratinocitos núcleos balonizados aspecto vidrio esmerilado gigantes multinucleados. citomegalovirus produce grandes inclusiones nucleares eosinófilas rodeadas un halo claro en endotelios vasos dérmicos. tipo 8 se relaciona etiológicamente sarcoma...
This study explores the interrelationship between institutional characteristics, risk perception, and business performance in private higher education institutions (PHEIs) China. Against backdrop of rapid sectoral expansion increasing regulatory complexity, research investigates how managerial perceptions financial non-financial risks are shaped by type, size, accreditation status, years operation, these influence across financial, customer, internal process, learning-growth dimensions.

There great emphasis across Europe caring for person their own...
Everyday memory of older persons does not improve with intensive training programs. This study proposes a change in these programs based on time-extended and massive intervention format.The sample 1007 healthy (mean age 71.85; SD = 5.12) was randomized into 2 groups. The experimental group followed an extended 6 years (192 sessions over 192 weeks) whereas the control received (3 per week for total 32 11 weeks). program included cognitive emotional content whose effects were assessed...
We describe the histopathological characteristics of viral skin infections. Herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster produce an intraepidermal vesicle with variable degrees epithelial necrosis. Typical findings include keratinocytes ballooned nuclei a ground-glass appearance giant multinucleated keratinocytes. In endothelial cells dermal blood vessels, cytomegalovirus produces large eosinophilic nuclear inclusions surrounded by clear halo. Human herpes 8 is etiologically associated Kaposi...
Background. The evaluation of successful aging includes objective criteria to measure cognitive function and psychological well-being levels functional capacity needed perform daily activities related the preservation autonomy. In addition, emergence computerized training programs has allowed us use a new class tools verify theoretical postulates neural plasticity in aging. Objective. present study investigates subjective healthy older adults participating memory program offered as two...
Two competing psychological approaches for how to care oneself stay healthy in old age have coexisted and dominated the scientific literature. Objective: Identify self-care practices of older adults establish relationship between these cognitive processes involved. Method: 105 people (83.91% women) recorded their using Care Time Test underwent a evaluation. Results: The frequency variety different activities that participants spent performing on day week where they had fewest obligations are...
Abstract Introduction Logically valid deductive arguments are clear examples of abstract recursive computational procedures on propositions or probabilities. However, it is not known if the cortical time-consuming inferential processes in which logical eventually realized brain fact physically different from other kinds processes. Methods In order to determine whether an electrical EEG discernible pattern deduction exists not, a new experimental paradigm proposed contrasting logically and...
Background: The literature favors discussion on socio-spatial conditions at the macro- (city) and micro- (housing) level that promote healthy aging in place. Objectives: (a) Identify association between physical social characteristics of family home functional quality life older people (b) provide normative data adequate/inadequate households based Home Observation for Measurement Environment (HOME) inventory Spanish Informant Questionnaire Cognitive Decline Elderly (S-IQCODE) test.

Even if behavioural studies relate leisure practices to the preservation of memory in old persons, there is unsubstantial evidence import on brain activity. Aim this study was compare activity elderly retired people who engage different types activities. Methods: quasi-experimental over a sample 60 elderly, subjects distributed into three groups according activities they practised: educational (G1), games (G2) and card (G3).
