Pneumococcal pneumonia is concentrated among the elderly. Using a decision analytic model, we projected future incidence of pneumococcal and associated healthcare utilization costs accounting for an aging US population. Between 2004 2040, as population increases by 38%, hospitalizations will increase 96% (from 401 000 to 790 000), because growth fastest in older age groups experiencing highest rates disease. Absent intervention, total cost $2.5 billion annually, demand services pneumonia,...
Fear of falling is an important problem among older adults, even those with relatively low rates objective fall risk, who are often overlooked as targets for intervention.We developed and pilot tested a new intervention, Activity, Balance, Learning, Exposure (ABLE), in sample 10 adults excessive fear falling. The ABLE intervention integrates exposure therapy cognitive restructuring home safety evaluation exercise program conducted the home. In this project, was jointly by physical therapist...
Research on narrative identity—the ongoing process of shaping and being shaped by life stories—provides rich insight into personality development can predict psychosocial well- being. However, narratives about aging remain underexamined, limiting our understanding identity processes over the course. We explored individuals’ aging, examining how themes vary across age, gender, race, relate to four domains self-reported well-being (psychological well-being, generativity, physical health, body...
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending, first-in-human study (NCT02766621) assessed the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-06823859, an anti-interferon β monoclonal antibody. Healthy subjects were randomized to single ascending doses (SADs) intravenous PF-06823859 30, 100, 300, 900, or 2000 mg placebo; multiple (MADs) subcutaneous 100 300 placebo (once every 2 weeks for a total 3 doses); MAD 600 once 4 doses). The incidence, severity, causal...
Background and Purpose: Fear of falling (FoF) is highly prevalent in community-dwelling older adults associated with low health-related quality life (QoL). Low QoL increased health care utilization a predictor future falls, but few studies have examined the relationship between high-level balance dynamic gait performance adults. The purpose this cross-sectional study was to determine whether there FoF avoidance behaviors, confidence, on measures mobility, secondary who fall different than...
Background and Purpose: Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative technology that shows promise in the assistance of physical therapy (PT). This case report explores use virtual with a patient suffering from unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). Case Description: The 50-year-old male who was referred to following motor vehicle accident. diagnosed having acute left UVH, accompanied by reports dizziness, imbalance gait disturbances which impaired him his work construction. Intervention: seen...
Background and Purpose: Despite the strong body of evidence for vestibular rehabilitation, research is lacking effective clinical management patients with superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) endolymphatic hydrops (EH). The purpose this case report to describe effects physical therapy in treatment a patient diagnosed bilateral SSCD. Case Description: was 56-year-old woman long-standing otologic history involving SSCD EH. patient’s structure function impairments include constant...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine relationships among balance confidence, fear falling (FoF) avoidance behaviour, and high-level performance in community-dwelling older adults. Method: Eighty-nine participants [76 ± 7 (mean standard deviation) years, 54 females] completed the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale, Fear Falling Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire, Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), Community Mobility Scale (CB&M), falls experienced past 12 months for...

The broader self‐transcendence literature, which also includes connection humanity oneself,...
The purpose of this paper is to raise interest in the use methodological techniques grounded developmental psychology best answer empirical questions about temperamental aspects stuttering young children. Empirical studies that examine temperament children who stutter based on commonly used research methods—questionnaires and behavior observational tasks—will be reviewed. benefits drawbacks methodology will also discussed.

A subset of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) have significant pain. There is little information on how painful (DPN+P) differ from those DPN without pain (DPN-P). The objective was to determine differences in demographics, socioeconomic characteristics, and patient-reported quality-of-life (QoL) between DPN+P DPN-P patients. We used an algorithm high sensitivity (90%) moderate specificity (60%) electronically classify within our institution 2009 2016 as no DPN, DPN+P, or DPN-P....
