e21547 Background: We characterized distinct functional trajectories among older adults in the year before and after a new cancer diagnosis and identified factors associated with functional decline. Methods: Among a cohort study of persons 70+ y, we identified 170 participants (lung (15.7%), breast (12.4%), prostate (7.8%); 31.8% incurable at diagnosis)) with an incident cancer diagnosis from 1998-2014. We followed their functional course using 13 basic, instrumental, and mobility activities measured during monthly interviews. To identify functional trajectories, we fit a group-based trajectory model of the 13-item disability scale 12-months before and 12-months after the cancer diagnosis. Regression modeling determined predictors of functional decline, defined as a higher count on the 13-item disability scale. Results: Three pre-cancer functional trajectories were identified (mean age at diagnosis: 83 y (73-105 y); similarly, 3 post-cancer functional trajectories were identified among the 158 non-decedents. Participants with severe disability pre-diagnosis remained severely disabled post-diagnosis. Approximately 40% of participants with mild or moderate disability pre-diagnosis transitioned to a worse functional trajectory post-diagnosis (see Table). Moderate and severe disability pre-diagnosis were significantly associated with functional decline post-diagnosis (moderate vs. mild aRR: 3.10; 95% CI: 2.24-4.30; severe vs. mild aRR: 5.71; 95% CI: 3.60-9.07). Depressive symptoms (RR, 1.40; 95% CI: 1.02-1.91), and incurable stage (RR, 2.16; 95% CI: 1.54-3.03) were also associated with functional decline. Conclusions: Approximately 40% of older adults experienced functional decline after a new cancer diagnosis. Pre-cancer diagnosis functional trajectory, depressive symptoms, and incurable stage were significant predictors of post-diagnosis functional decline. [Table: see text]

The article analyses monetary policy response to the world financial crisis and focuses more closely on the monetary policy of the Czech National Bank (CNB) at this time. Until 2007, the implementation of monetary policy in OECD countries was perceived very positively. However, the financial crisis has clearly shown that the world’s financial markets are highly interconnected, and this can have a major impact on individual national economies. Therefore, the monetary policy strategy has changed from a policy based on the so-called flexible inflation targeting. Ensuring price stability is emphasised as part of the monetary policy role of the CNB in the provisions of Article 98 of the Constitution, in the Czech Republic. CNB is perceived as one of the most independent central banks, the contituional dimension of its independence being confirmed by case law of the Czech Constitutional Court. In response to the financial crisis, CNB was forced to pursue unconventional monetary policy in the form of foreign exchange interventions between 2013 and 2017. However, during the time period of these interventions, CNB policy did not lead to achievement of the inflation target. Following the completion of foreign exchange interventions, CNB returned to conventional monetary policy through interest rates.

Preliminary Study

Sensory acceptability of the consumption of whole baked house crickets by assessors in the Czech Republic was investigated. The main aim was to observe attitudes to eating edible insects before and after their tasting and to assess the extent of the effect of prejudices. Hedonic evaluation of the overall acceptability of edible insects was carried out under laboratory conditions by trained assessors. Of the 98 panellists, 68 were willing to evaluate the sample visually and then by tasting. They showed statistically significant differences (P &lt; 0.0001) in overall pleasantness before tasting (40 ± 22%) and after tasting (61 ± 17%). No statistically significant differences between male and female assessors were observed, either before or after tasting. Women and younger assessors were slightly more open to entomophagy, but there were no statistically significant differences between males and females or between the two age categories (18–25 and 26–45 years of age) in the results. The preferred methods of culinary preparation of edible insects that the respondents would choose were baking, roasting and frying.<br /><br />

BackgroundRelatively little is known about depression in countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union, especially Russia.AimsTo investigate the rates and distribution of depressive symptoms in urban population samples in Russia, Poland and the Czech Republic.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted in randomly selected men and women aged 45–64 years (n=2151 intotal, response rate 69%) in Novosibirsk (Russia), Krakow (Poland) and Karvina (Czech Republic). The point prevalence of depressive symptoms in the past week was defined as a score of at least 16 on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale.ResultsIn men the prevalence of depressive symptoms was 23% in Russia, 21% in Poland and 19% in the Czech Republic; in women the rates were 44%, 40% and 34% respectively. Depressive symptoms were positively associated with material deprivation, being unmarried and binge drinking. The association between education and depression was inverse in Poland and the Czech Republic but positive in Russia.ConclusionsThe prevalence of depressive symptoms in these eastern European urban populations was relatively high; as in other countries, it was associated with alcohol and several sociodemographic factors.
