Penduduk lanjut usia termasuk dalam kelompok rentan di masa pandemi COVID-19. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi peran pemerintah baik tingkat pusat maupun daerah dalam pemberian bantuan sosial bagi lansia. Data penelitian didapatkan dari open source sejak bulan Maret hingga Juli 2020. Ditemukan bahwa pada level pusat, Kementerian Sosial dan Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak, serta pada level daerah, Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan Jawa Timur, telah menyediakan bantuan sosial yang menyasar lansia di masa pandemi. Program bantuan ini kemudian dianalisis menggunakan konsep familisasi dan defamilisasi. Beberapa lansia sebelum masa pandemi masih mampu bekerja dan memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari tanpa bergantung pada keluarga (defamilisasi). Namun, selama pandemi, lansia tersebut harus bergantung kembali kepada keluarga (familisasi) karena terbatas untuk bekerja di luar rumah dan atau tidak memiliki dana pensiun. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa bantuan sosial dari pemerintah bagi lansia selama masa pendemi sangat diperlukan untuk mengurangi risiko-risiko defamilisasi.Kata Kunci: bantuan sosial; lanjut usia; COVID-19; familisasi; defamilisasi Elderly are included in the vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to identify the role of government at both the central and regional levels in providing social assistance for the elderly during the pandemic. This study utilizes an open-source obtained from March to July 2020. It was found that at the central level and at the regional level, have provided social assistance. This assistance is then analyzed using the concept of familization and defamilization. Some elderly before the pandemic were still able to work and fulfill their daily needs without depending on family (defamilization). However, due to the pandemic, the elderly had to depend on their families (familization) because they are limited to working outside the home and do not have a pension fund. It can be concluded that social assistance from the government during the pandemic is very much needed to reduce the risk of defamilization.Keywords: social assistance; elderly; COVID-19; familization; defamilization

Surface Changes

Ultrastructural changes have been shown to occur in the urinary bladder epithelium (urothelium) during the life span of humans. With increasing age, the luminal surface becomes more flexible and develops simple microvilli-like processes. Furthermore, the specialised asymmetric structure of the luminal plasma membrane is relatively more prominent in the young than in the elderly. The nature of the changes at the luminal surface is now explored by lectin-mediated adsorption visualised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Samples of young adult (21-31 y old) and elderly (58-82 y old) urothelia were fixed in buffered 2% glutaraldehyde for 10 m and washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing Ca++ and Mg++ at room temperature. They were incubated overnight at 4°C in 0.1 M ammonium chloride in PBS to block any remaining aldehyde groups. The samples were then allowed to stand in PBS at 37°C for 2 h before incubation at 37°C for 30 m with lectins. The lectins used were concanavalin A (Con A), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) at a concentration of 500 mg/ml in PBS at pH 7.A.

Dementia Syndrome

Pharmacological intervention for depressive symptoms in institutionalized elderly is higher than the population average. Among the patients on such medications are those with a puzzling mix of symptoms, diagnosed as “dementia syndrome of depression,” formerly termed “pseudodementia”. Cognitive-communicative changes, potentially due to medications, complicate the diagnosis even further. This discussion paper reviews the history of the terminology of “pseudodementia,” and examines the pharmacology given as treatment for depressive symptoms in the elderly population that can affect cognition and communication. Clinicians can reduce the risk of misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment by having an awareness of potential side effects, including decreased attention, memory, and reasoning capacities, particularly due to some anticholinergic medications. A team approach to care should include a cohesive effort directed at caution against over-medication, informed management of polypharmacology, enhancement of environmental/communication supports and quality of life, and recognizing the typical nature of some depressive signs in elderly institutionalized individuals.
