Importance of adult education is emphasized. Adults with Congenital Heart Defects. Targeting glioblastoma -derived pericytes improves chemotherapeutic outcome.

Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain cancer in adults , with poor prognosis. The blood-brain barrier limits the arrival of several promising anti- glioblastoma drugs, and restricts the design of efficient therapies. Recently, by using state-of-the-art technologies, including thymidine kinase targeting system in combination with glioblastoma xenograft mouse models, it was revealed that targeting glioblastoma -derived pericytes improves chemotherapy efficiency.

Strikingly, ibrutinib treatment enhances chemotherapeutic effectiveness, by targeting pericytes, improving blood-brain barrier permeability, and prolonging survival. This study identifies glioblastoma -derived pericyte as a novel target in the brain tumor microenvironment during carcinogenesis. Here, we summarize and evaluate recent advances in the understanding of pericyte's role in the glioblastoma microenvironment. Clinical Aspects of Adult Epiglottitis. Epiglottitis in adults has been considered a medical rarity. Recent evidence suggests that this disorder is seen in adults regularly, though uncommonly, in clinical practice.

We present 14 cases of adult epiglottitis. Most cases were blood culture-negative; Hemophilus influenzae was isolated from blood cultures in two cases and Hemophilus parainfluenzae in one case. There were no deaths. Epiglottitis in adults differs from pediatric epiglottitis in the mode of presentation, bacterial cause and clinical course.

Adult Congenital Cardiac Care. To guide patients to qualified providers and programs, it maintains a publicly accessible directory of dedicated adult congenital cardiac programs. We analyzed the directory in and , aiming to evaluate the growth of the directory as a whole and to evaluate the growth of individual programs within the directory. We also hope this raises awareness of the growing opportunities that exist in adult congenital cardiology and cardiac surgery. Data in the directory are self-reported.

Only data from US programs were collected and analyzed. By the end of , compared to , there were more programs reporting to the directory in more states programs across 42 states vs 57 programs across 33 states , with higher overall clinical volume vs half-day clinics per week, 96, vs 34, patient visits. On average, each program was busier 5 vs 2 half-day clinics per week per program. Over the time period, the number of reported annual operations performed nearly doubled 4, operations by surgeons vs 2, operations by surgeons.

Access to ancillary services including specific clinical diagnostic and therapeutic services also expanded. Between and , the clinical directory and the individual programs have grown. Current directory data may provide benchmarks for staffing and services for newly emerging and existing programs.

Verifying the accuracy of the information and inclusion of all programs will be important in the future. Background Magnetic resonance fingerprinting MRF allows rapid simultaneous quantification of T1 and T2 relaxation times. This study assesses the utility of MRF in differentiating between common types of adult intra-axial brain tumors. Methods MRF acquisition was performed in 31 patients with untreated intra-axial brain tumors: T1, T2 of the solid tumor ST , immediate peritumoral white matter PW , and contralateral white matter CW were summarized within each region of interest.

Statistical comparisons on mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis were performed using univariate Wilcoxon rank sum test across various tumor types. Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple comparisons testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed for discrimination between glioblastomas and metastases and area under the receiver operator curve AUC was calculated.

Logistic regression analysis revealed that mean T2 of ST offered best separation between glioblastomas and metastases with AUC of 0.

This study assessed the utility of MR fingerprinting in differentiating common types of adult intra-axial brain tumors. MR fingerprinting acquisition was performed in 31 patients with untreated intra-axial brain tumors: T1, T2 of the solid tumor, immediate peritumoral white matter, and contralateral white matter were summarized within each ROI. Statistical comparisons on mean, SD, skewness, and kurtosis were performed by using the univariate Wilcoxon rank sum test across various tumor types.

Bonferroni correction was used to correct for multiple-comparison testing. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed for discrimination between glioblastomas and metastases, and area under the receiver operator curve was calculated. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the mean T2 of solid tumor offered the best separation between glioblastomas and metastases with an area under the curve of 0.

Intestinal lymphangiectasia in adults. Intestinal lymphangiectasia in the adult may be characterized as a disorder with dilated intestinal lacteals causing loss of lymph into the lumen of the small intestine and resultant hypoproteinemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, hypoalbuminemia and reduced number of circulating lymphocytes or lymphopenia. Most often, intestinal lymphangiectasia has been recorded in children, often in neonates, usually with other congenital abnormalities but initial definition in adults including the elderly has become increasingly more common.

Shared clinical features with the pediatric population such as bilateral lower limb edema, sometimes with lymphedema, pleural effusion and chylous ascites may occur but these reflect the severe end of the clinical spectrum. In some, diarrhea occurs with steatorrhea along with increased fecal loss of protein, reflected in increased fecal alphaantitrypsin levels, while others may present with iron deficiency anemia, sometimes associated with occult small intestinal bleeding.

Most lymphangiectasia in adults detected in recent years, however, appears to have few or no clinical features of malabsorption. Diagnosis remains dependent on endoscopic changes confirmed by small bowel biopsy showing histological evidence of intestinal lymphangiectasia. In some, video capsule endoscopy and enteroscopy have revealed more extensive changes along the length of the small intestine. A critical diagnostic element in adults with lymphangiectasia is the exclusion of entities e. In addition, occult infectious e.

Whipple's disease from Tropheryma whipplei or inflammatory disorders e. Crohn's disease may also present with profound changes in intestinal permeability and protein-losing enteropathy that also require exclusion. Conversely, rare B-cell type lymphomas have also been described even decades following initial. Conversely, rare B-cell type lymphomas have also been described even decades following. Training for older adults. Aging is associated with a reduction in physical fitness, with loss of muscular force and endurance. Physical activity has been demonstrated to provide substantial health benefits and to maintain functional independence and improve quality of life in older adults.

Resistance training has a significant effect on muscle mass and force whereas endurance training increases oxygen transport and consumption capacities. This article presents training methods used in the literature and their associated effects in order to adapt training protocols to older populations. To maximise benefits from adoption of a program to which the patient can adhere for long time, it is important to tailor the exercise prescription to the individual.

Dehydration in the Older Adult. It has a greater negative outcome in this population than in younger adults and increases mortality, morbidity, and disability. Dehydration is often caused by water deprivation in older adults , although excess water loss may also be a cause. Traditional markers for dehydration do not take into consideration many of the physiological differences present in older adults.

Clinical assessment of dehydration in older adults poses different findings, yet is not always diagnostic. Treatment of dehydration should focus on prevention and early diagnosis before it negatively effects health and gives rise to comorbidities. The current article discusses what has most thoroughly been studied; the best strategies and assessment tools for evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of dehydration in older adults ; and what needs to be researched further.

Sexting among young adults. Purpose Sexting has stirred debate over its legality and safety, but few researchers have documented the relationship between sexting and health. We describe the sexting behavior of young adults in the United States, and examine its association with sexual behavior and psychological well-being.

We examined participant sexting behavior using 4 categories of sexting: We then assessed the relationships between sexting categories and sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behavior and psychological well-being. Males were more likely to be Receivers than females. Sexually active respondents were more likely to be Two-way Sexters than non-sexually active respondents. Among participants who were sexually active in the past 30 days, we found no differences across sexting groups in number of sexual partners, or number of unprotected sex partners in the past 30 days.

We also found no relationship between sexting and psychological well-being. Conclusions Our results suggest that sexting is not related to sexual risk behavior or psychological well-being. We discuss the findings of this study and propose directions for further research on sexting. Adult Learners' Week in Russia.

Joy Cumming, Christina E. Making a Difference in Adult Literacy and Numeracy…. Extravasation injuries in adults. Insertion of an intravascular catheter is one of the most common invasive procedures in hospitals worldwide. These intravascular lines are crucial in resuscitation, allow vital medication to be administered, and can be used to monitor the patients' real-time vital parameters.

There is, however, growing recognition of potential risks to life and limb associated with their use. Medical literature is now replete with isolated case reports of complications succinctly described by Garden and Laussen as "An unending supply of "unusual" complications from central venous catheters. Extravasation Injuries in Adults. Secondary hypertension in adults. In young patients, renal causes glomerulonephritis and coarctation of the aorta should be considered.

In older patients, primary aldosteronism, obstructive sleep apnoea and renal artery stenosis are more prevalent than previously thought. Primary aldosteronism can be screened by taking morning aldosterone and renin levels, and should be considered in patients with severe, resistant or hypokalaemia-associated hypertension. Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea should be sought. Worsening of renal function after starting an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor suggests the possibility of renal artery stenosis.

Recognition, diagnosis and treatment of secondary causes of hypertension lead to good clinical outcomes and the possible reversal of end-organ damage, in addition to blood pressure control. As most patients with hypertension are managed at the primary care level, it is important for primary care physicians to recognise these conditions and refer patients appropriately. It originates an asymmetrical degenerative disc and facet joint, creating asymmetrical loads and subsequently deformity.

The main symptom is axial, radicular pain and neurological deficit. Conservative treatment includes drugs and physical therapy. The epidural injections and facet for selectively blocking nerve roots improves short-term pain. There is no consensus for surgical indications, however, it must have a clear understanding of the symptoms and clinical signs. The goal of surgery is to decompress neural elements with restoration, modification of the three-dimensional shape deformity and stabilize the coronal and sagittal balance.

Noroviruses cause epidemic and sporadic acute gastroenteritis in both children and adults. There is a wide range of genetic diversity among the noroviruses, which are subdivided into genogroups and further classified into genotypes. The onset of illness is typically abrupt and often includes vomiting and diarrhea.

Fever is present in approximately half of patients. Although short duration of illness is characteristic, it can be severe and fatal among the patient with underlying illness. RT-PCR is currently the mainstay of diagnosis, but not clinical routine. Infectious dose is relatively low and secondary attack rates are high. Controlling outbreaks of norovirus are major challenges.

Norovirus virus-like particle vaccine may provide protection against infection after challenge with a homologous virus. Sexting has stirred debate over its legality and safety, but few researchers have documented the relationship between sexting and health. Using an adapted Web version of respondent-driven sampling, we recruited a sample of U.

We examined participant sexting behavior using four categories of sexting: We then assessed the relationships between sexting categories and sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behavior, and psychological well-being. Male respondents were more likely to be receivers than their female counterparts. Sexually active respondents were more likely to be two-way sexters than non-sexually active ones.

Among participants who were sexually active in the past 30 days, we found no differences across sexting groups in the number of sexual partners or the number of unprotected sex partners in the past 30 days. Our results suggest that sexting is not related to sexual risk behavior or psychological well-being. Published by Elsevier Inc. Obesity in Bahraini adults.

In this study the prevalence of obesity and the demographic factors associated with it were analysed on adult Bahraini individuals, of whom were males and were females. The prevalence of underweight BMI 7 members were positively associated with obesity; unmarried women were more likely to be underweight than married women. The educational level was not associated with obesity in either the males or females. The age of adult females was not found to be associated with obesity, whereas in males the incidence of obesity was more frequent among those who were 50 years of age and above than under 50 years of age.

Family monthly income was not associated with the incidence of obesity. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity in the women reported in this study and the difference in the distribution of body fat suggest that genetics may be a determinant factor of this disorder in Bahrainis but certainly social factors are also important. Autoimmune chorea in adults.

Eric; Matsumoto, Joseph Y. To determine the characteristics of adult -onset autoimmune chorea, and compare paraneoplastic and idiopathic subgroups. Thirty-six adults with autoimmune chorea were identified at Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN from to Medical record and laboratory data were recorded. Median age at symptom onset was 67 years range 18—87 years. We estimated the incidence for Olmsted County was 1. Symptom onset was subacute in all. Chorea was focal 20 patients or generalized 16 patients.

Although chorea predominated, other neurologic disorders frequently coexisted 29 patients ; abnormal eye movements were uncommon 4 patients. No patient had NMDA receptor antibody or any immunoglobulin Ig G yielding a detectable immunofluorescence binding pattern restricted to basal ganglia. In the paraneoplastic group, 14 patients had evidence of cancer. Of 13 with a histopathologically confirmed neoplasm, small-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma were most common; 6 patients had a cancer-predictive paraneoplastic autoantibody, with CRMP-5—IgG and ANNA-1 being most common.

In the idiopathic group, 19 of the 22 patients had a coexisting autoimmune disorder most frequently systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome ; autoantibodies were detected in 21 patients, most frequently lupus and phospholipid specificities 19 patients. Autoimmune chorea is a rare disorder with rapid onset. Male sex, older age, severe chorea, coexisting peripheral neuropathy, and weight loss increase the likelihood of cancer.

List of people with brain tumors

An overview of the workshop describes the purpose, goals to increase understanding of theory and research on adult…. Zika virus has oncolytic activity against glioblastoma stem cells. Glioblastoma is a highly lethal brain cancer that frequently recurs in proximity to the original resection cavity.

We explored the use of oncolytic virus therapy against glioblastoma with Zika virus ZIKV , a flavivirus that induces cell death and differentiation of neural precursor cells in the developing fetus. ZIKV preferentially infected and killed glioblastoma stem cells GSCs relative to differentiated tumor progeny or normal neuronal cells. The effects against GSCs were not a general property of neurotropic flaviviruses, as West Nile virus indiscriminately killed both tumor and normal neural cells.

Moreover, mice with glioblastoma survived substantially longer and at greater rates when the tumor was inoculated with a mouse-adapted strain of ZIKV. Our results suggest that ZIKV is an oncolytic virus that can preferentially target GSCs; thus, genetically modified strains that further optimize safety could have therapeutic efficacy for adult glioblastoma patients. Intraindividual variability in cognitive performance in older adults: Intraindividual variability in latency and accuracy of cognitive performance across both trials and occasions was examined in 3 groups of older adults: Participants completed 2 reaction-time and 2 episodic-memory tasks on 4 occasions.

Results indicated that intraindividual variability in latency was greater in individuals diagnosed with mild dementia than in adults who were neurologically intact, regardless of their health status. Individual differences in variability were stable over time and across cognitive domains. Intraindividual variability was also related to level of performance and was uniquely predictive of neurological status, independent of level of performance.

Results suggest that intraindividual variability may be a behavioral indicator of compromised neurological mechanisms. Obesity Prevention in Older Adults. With the increased rate of obesity in older adults , the purpose of this paper is to present research on different methods to prevent or manage obesity in older adults , namely dietary interventions, physical activity interventions, and a combination of dietary and physical activity interventions.

In addition, research on community assistance programs in the prevention of obesity with aging will be discussed. Finally, data on federal programs for older adults will also be presented. Effective communication with older adults. Communication is an essential aspect of life, yet it can be taken for granted. Its centrality to being in the world and in professional practice often becomes evident when nurses and older adults encounter communication difficulties.

The factors that can affect nurses' communication with older adults relate to the older adult , the nurse, sociocultural considerations and the environment, and the interactions between these factors. In adopting a person-centred approach to communicating with older adults , it is necessary to get to know the person as an individual and ensure communication meets their needs and abilities.

Effective communication is essential in nursing practice and requires professional competence and engagement. This article can be used by nurses to support effective communication with older adults across the continuum of care. Childhood intelligence and adult obesity. Recent studies conclude childhood intelligence has no direct effect on adult obesity net of education, but evolutionary psychological theories suggest otherwise. Childhood general intelligence is measured at 7, 11, and 16, and adult BMI and obesity are measured at Childhood general intelligence has a direct effect on adult BMI, obesity, and weight gain, net of education, earnings, mother's BMI, father's BMI, childhood social class, and sex.

More intelligent children grow up to eat more healthy foods and exercise more frequently as adults. Childhood intelligence has a direct effect on adult obesity unmediated by education or earnings. General intelligence decreases BMI only in adulthood when individuals have complete control over what they eat. Older adults challenged financially when adult children move home.

This policy brief looks at the financial burdens imposed on older Californians when adult children return home, often due to a crisis not of their own making, to live with their parents. The findings show that on average in California, the amount of money that older adults need in order to maintain a minimally decent standard of living while supporting one adult child in their home increases their expenses by a minimum of 50 percent. Low-income older adults are usually on fixed incomes, so helping an adult child can provide the child with a critical safety net but at the cost of the parents' own financial well-being.

Policy approaches to assisting this vulnerable population of older adults include implementing reforms to increase Supplemental Security Income SSI , improving the availability of affordable housing, assuring that all eligible nonelderly adults obtain health insurance through health care reform's expansion of Medi-Cal and subsidies, and increasing food assistance through SNAP and senior meal programs.

Emphysema - adults - discharge; Bronchitis - chronic - adults - discharge; Chronic respiratory failure - adults - discharge Your primary care doctor A respiratory therapist, who can teach you breathing exercises and Previous psychometric analyses to evaluate these observations have been limited in ways addressed in the current study, which analyzes the structure of an expanded set of adult ADHD symptoms in 3 pooled U.

These results show that executive dysfunction is as central as DSM-5 symptoms to adult ADHD, while emotional dyscontrol is more distinct but prominent resent in the combined presentation of adult ADHD. Vitalistic thinking in adults. Vitalistic thinking has traditionally been associated with reasoning about biological phenomena. The current research aimed to investigate a broader range of vitalistic thinking than previously studied. Esoteric notions of 'energy' are frequently used by individuals when making causal attributions for strange occurrences, and previous literature has linked such thinking with paranormal, magical, and superstitious beliefs.

Two experiments are described that aim to investigate whether adults are vitalistic when asked to make causal judgments, and whether this can be predicted by thinking styles and prior paranormal belief. Experiment 1 asked participants to rate three causal options one of which was vitalistic for six vignettes. Scores on one dimension of paranormal belief New Age Philosophy and analytical thinking significantly predicted vitalism, but scores on intuitive thinking and Traditional Paranormal Beliefs did not.

Experiment 2 extended the findings by asking participants to generate their own causal responses. Again, paranormal belief was found to be the best predictor of vitalism, but this time Traditional Paranormal Beliefs were associated with vitalistic responses whilst both intuitive and analytical thinking were unable to significantly predict classification. Results challenge previous findings, suggesting that vitalistic thinking may operate differently when applied to everyday causal reasoning.

Although there are defined criteria for the diagnosis of constipation, in practice, diagnostic criteria are less rigid, and depend in part on the perception of normal bowel habit. Constipation is highly prevalent, with approximately 12 million general practitioner prescriptions for laxatives in England in We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the effects of non-drug interventions, bulk-forming laxatives, faecal softeners, stimulant laxatives, osmotic laxatives, prostaglandin derivatives, and 5-HT4 agonists in adults with idiopathic chronic constipation?

We found 42 systematic reviews, RCTs, or observational studies that met our inclusion criteria. Thrombotic microangiopathic hemolytic anemias include thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura TTP , hemolytic uremic syndrome HUS and pregnancy associated thrombotic microangiopathy TMA. Eight adult patients four males and four females with TMA who were treated between and at the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires were reviewed.

The average age was Clinical diagnosis of TMA was made on admission in four patients. All of them revealed thrombocytopenia and microangiophatic hemolytic anemia. Renal impairment was the third most frequent characteristic at presentation. The patients with TTP revealed the most severe condition. All patients received daily plasma exchange. Immunosuppressants were also used. Four patients recovered completely, 2 passed away, one remains with renal impairment and requires hemodialysis, and a colectomy was performed on one of them.

The TMA syndromes are occlusive disorders associated to platelet microvascular thrombi. Systemic and renal circulations are primarily affected. Prompt recognition and treatment are vital, because high mortality occurs due to these disorders. Among the differential diagnosis of TMA we can refer to sepsis, neoplasms, systemic vasculitis, eclampsia and others.

The mainstay treatments are daily plasma exchange and infusion with fresh frozen plasma. Improving the management of these diseases is required considering their high morbidity and mortality.

Adult outcomes of preterm children. The survivors of the initial years of neonatal intensive care of preterm infants reached adulthood during the last decade. Reports of their adult outcomes examined have included neurodevelopmental, behavioral and health outcomes as well as social functioning and reproduction. Despite statistically significant differences between preterm young adults and controls in most outcomes studied, the majority of preterm survivors do well and live fairly normal lives.

The two major predictors of adult outcomes are lower gestational age that reflect perinatal injury and family sociodemographic status which reflects both genetic and environmental effects. In August , an expert colloquium commissioned by the Sexual Medicine Society of North America SMSNA convened in Washington, DC, to discuss the common clinical scenario of men who present with low testosterone T and associated signs and symptoms accompanied by low or normal gonadotropin levels.

This syndrome is not classical primary testicular failure or secondary pituitary or hypothalamic failure hypogonadism because it may have elements of both presentations. The panel designated this syndrome adult -onset hypogonadism AOH because it occurs commonly in middle-age and older men.

The SMSNA is a not-for-profit society established in to promote, encourage, and support the highest standards of practice, research, education, and ethics in the study of human sexual function and dysfunction. The panel consisted of 17 experts in men's health, sexual medicine, urology, endocrinology, and methodology.

The panel deliberated regarding a diagnostic process to document signs and symptoms of AOH, the rationale for T therapy, and a monitoring protocol for T-treated patients.
