Abstract Objective: To understand the influence of public square dancing on the subjective well-being of middle-aged and elderly people. Methods: According to the principle of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we search Chinese databases, such as CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP, and English databases, such as Proquest, Web of Science, Pubmed, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect, and collect relevant articles at home and abroad from 2006 to December 2019 for meta-analysis in January 2020. Result: A total of 10 articles were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the well-being of middle-aged and elderly people in the public square… More >

Abstract Human fall detection plays a vital part in the design of sensor based alarming system, aid physical therapists not only to lessen after fall effect and also to save human life. Accurate and timely identification can offer quick medical services to the injured people and prevent from serious consequences. Several vision-based approaches have been developed by the placement of cameras in diverse everyday environments. At present times, deep learning (DL) models particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained much importance in the fall detection tasks. With this motivation, this paper presents a new vision based elderly fall event detection using… More >

Abstract In nowadays society, the safety of the elderly population is becoming a pressing concern, especially for those who live alone. There might be daily risks such as accidental falling or treatment attack on them. Aiming at these problems, indoor positioning could be a critical way to monitor their states. With the rapidly development of the imaging techniques, wearable and portable cameras are very popular, which could be set on human individual. And in view of the advantages of the visual positioning, the authors propose a binocular visual positioning algorithm to real-timely locate the elderly indoor. In this paper, the imaging… More >

Abstract A complete and thorough understanding by patients of their prescriptions is one of the most critical components of a successful treatment journey. Being unfamiliar with the intricacies of prescribed medication can cause serious health risks due to not adhering to prescription instructions or noting potential drug interactions, which can lead to life-threatening injuries. Pharmacists face communication barriers (including non-English speaking patients), lack of time, lack of knowledge, workload, and frequent interruption when dispensing medicines often preventing them from providing the necessary guidance to their patients. To minimize this risk, an NFC-Guidable polypharmacy system was developed integrating Near Field Technology (NFC)… More >

Abstract Traumatic events have been considered significant risk factors for older adults’ mental health, but the mediating mechanism and moderating effect of aging attitudes that underlie this relationship have yet been completely investigated. The attitudes of the elderly toward aging can be divided into two closely related but conceptually different dimensions, including positive and negative. Positive aging attitudes refer to optimistic feelings and experiences about aging, whereas negative attitudes toward aging are related to detrimental thoughts and sensations experienced about the increasing age. The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating and moderating roles of these two dimensions of… More >

Abstract We propose an improved a single-shot detector (SSD) algorithm to detect falls of the elderly. The VGG16 network part of the SSD network is replaced with the MobilenetV2 network. At the same time, we change the infrastructure of MobilenetV2 network, the three layers that were not downsampled at the end were removed, which can make the model structure simpler and faster to detect. The complete Intersection-over-Union (CIoU) loss function is introduced to get a good regression of the target borders that have different sizes and different proportions. We use Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) for upsampling, it can fuse low-level feature… More >

Abstract Objective. The purpose was to explore the characteristics and nursing points of surgical and interventional treatment for elderly cerebral aneurysm. Methods. 100 elderly patients with cerebral aneurysm treated in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were selected, and divided into craniotomy group (40 patients with neurosurgical clipping) and interventional surgery group (60 patients with endovascular interventional embolization) according to the treatment method to compare the operation time, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses, degree of brain injury, complications and prognostic scores of the patients in two groups. Meanwhile, the relationship between the factors (age, aneurysm size, location) and prognosis of… More >

Abstract Ulinastatin combined with dexmedetomidine can improve postoperative cognitive function and central nerve specific protein (S-100β) level in elderly colorectal cancer (CC) patients after laparoscopic. Altogether 178 elderly patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in our hospital from February 2018 to August 2019 were selected and divided into two groups according to the treatment methods. Those anesthetized by dexmedetomidine were regarded as the routine group (RG, 83 cases), and those anesthetized by ulinastatin and dexmedetomidine were considered as the combined group (CG, 95 cases). The operation conditions of the two groups, the pain scores (VAS) at 4 h, 24 h… More >

Abstract This study investigates whether restricted participation in productive activity is associated with cognitive health in Korea. Furthermore, given the enormous socioeconomic disparities between aging and gender differences in employment, we also examine whether these associations vary by gender and age. Data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) from 2006 to 2016 was used and 9,942 subjects were included at baseline in 2006. To analyze the association between restricted economic activity due to health condition and cognitive function, generalized estimating equation (GEE) model and chi-square test were used. Of the 9,942 individuals at baseline in 2006, the odds ratio… More >
