Assessment And Monitoring

The absence of reliable registration of Covid-19 deaths in India has prevented the proper assessment and monitoring of what appears to be one of the worst episodes of coronavirus pandemic. India's relatively young age structure tends to conceal the severity of Covid-19 mortality, which is concentrated in older age groups. In this paper, we present four different demographic samples of Indian populations for which we have information on both their demographic structures and death outcomes. We show that we can model the age gradient of Covid-19 mortality in India and use this modeling for estimating the most accurate level of Covid-19 mortality in the country. Our findings point to a death toll of about 2.2 million persons by late May 2021. Once India's age structure taken into account, these figures correspond to one of the most severe examples of Covid-19 mortality in the world.

The problem of children's starvation remains relevant and actual at the present time, as in the 21st century experts from the leading countries of the world coordinate their efforts to create programs aimed at eliminating extreme poverty and hunger of. At the same time, the analysis of obesity prevalence typical for the population of some countries of the world, indicates an increase in the number of obese people in both economically developed and developing countries. In this article we are talking about the common severe degree of abdominal obesity in people of older age groups, survivors in childhood, long periods of fasting. Studied 594 history and Protocol of autopsy of people in older age groups, born from 1927 to 1941 and the dead on the hospital for war veterans in St. Petersburg from 1989 to 2000. The whole array of documents was structured by sex, age, the fact of living in the blockaded Leningrad. Severe degree of obesity was considered to be exceeded more than 7 cm of thickness of deep abdominal subcutaneous layer of adipose tissue. It is well established that former young residents of the besieged Leningrad, regardless of gender, age, die sooner than men and women in the comparison groups; men who survived long periods of starvation in children, were dying earlier than men in the comparison group and earlier than women of the main group; women who have experienced a long period of starvation before the age of 11 years, often dying because of cardiovascular diseases than women in the corresponding subgroup comparisons; the emergence of pronounced obesity in older age-governmental groups from the former young residents of the blockaded Leningrad, determined by elk not only the fact of prolonged fasting, but child sex and age, which accounted for starvation.

The age structure of the morbidity rate of HIV infections` and HIV-infection associating with tuberculosis among population of the Perm Region from 2005 to 2014 was studied. In recent years the incidence rate of these infections was noticed to be redistributed towards the older age groups. The average age of cases has increased from 27.0 and 25.4 years in 2005 to 34.1 and 32.5 years in 2014. The hypotheses explaining changes in the age structure of epidemic processes of the studied infections were formulated.

For the benefit of a younger audience, the cherry can be further enhanced by freeing it from the fruit group and allowing it to become part of the world of desserts and special treats. On the contrary, the localisms, traditions, and seasonality which characterize much of the national production can be further emphasized for the middle age and the “differently young” age groups, especially for the domestic market. Common to these diverse strategies is the need for high performance varieties linked to a structured sales season and non-destructive sorting with the use of the latest technologies to guarantee what the English-speaking world calls “consistent quality” and what we could rename “quality that lives up to our promises.”

The incidence of epilepsy has bimodal distribution peaking at the extremes of life. Incidence is greater in younger and older age groups (Hauser et al., 1993, Sidenvall et al., 1993, Forsgren et al., 1996, and Olafsson et al., 2005). As the world population ages more elders with epilepsy will be identified. In the high-income countries with longer life expectancy, the number of elders with epilepsy will be even higher. CPSs account for 40% of all seizure types in the elderly (Hauser et al., 1992); however, the proportion with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is uncertain.

Abstract As the strict quarantine measures ease and the availability of vaccines, reports have proposed that people of varying ages are now less likely to wear mask despite its added protection and safety against COVID-19. In a recent short article published, it was found out that older age groups may less likely to wear face masks in comparison with the younger ones. The importance of face masks must always be geared toward better health outcomes and safety precautions of wearing face mask as the world battles with the pandemic. With varying studies, face mask can be an essential means to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

This study investigated how Pokémon GO play may integrate players' gaming experiences and physical environments to facilitate spatial-human immersions in psychologically meaningful ways. Two age groups that represent generational players were further compared. A survey of 1031 players found that co-presence was positively associated with game enjoyment and game involvement, and nostalgia was positively associated with game enjoyment. The mediation effect of nostalgia on game involvement through game enjoyment was significant and game involvement completely mediated the relationship between game enjoyment and place attachment. In the 35 years and older age group, the direct effect of nostalgia on game involvement and the indirect effect of nostalgia on game involvement through game enjoyment were both significant. Theoretical implications on linking spatial relationships and the process of movement in the immersive AR environment and connecting the media experiences from one's formative youth period to the world of technological advances are elaborated.

Two Age Groups

This study examines the social meanings that speakers associate with variants of the variable (ing) in Manchester, focusing on a comparison of two age groups: a young age group of adolescents and those in very early adulthood, and an older age group. In most English varieties, (ing) has two possible realisations: [ɪŋ] and [ɪn]. However, in Manchester, a third possibility exists: [ɪŋg]. Social meanings differ between age groups on three scales: articulateness, poshness and reliability. When compared to the youths, those in the older age group consider [ɪŋ] to sound substantially more articulate than [ɪn], as well as posher and more reliable than [ɪŋg]. In contrast, those in the younger group consider [ɪŋg] more reliable and posher-sounding than the older speakers. This is due, we argue, to developmental constraints during adolescence, but, more importantly, to life-stage experiences, with social meanings on these three scales altering as speakers leave adolescence behind and become increasingly subject to the standardisation pressures of adult communities.

Purpose of study. To investigate age gender and clinical anamnestic characteristics of patients with atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction.Materials and methods. The study was based on data of the WHO programs “The register of acute myocardium infarction”. The analysis comprised 836 cases of acute myocardium infarction. The atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction were detected in 184 patients (18.7%). In the structure of atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction the following alternatives were appropriated: asthmatic (32,6%), collaptoid (31,5%), abdominal (13.6%), arrhythmic (7.6%), peripheral (5.4%)б painless (4.9%) and cerebral (4.3%).Results of study. The most of the males (62.5%) found themselves in the group of patients with abdominal form of acute myocardium infarction and most of the females in the group with cerebral form of acute myocardium infarction. In all analyzed groups the individuals older than 60 years prevailed. In the group of patients with cerebral form were most of the individuals underwent earlier acute myocardium infarction (50.0%). The diabetes mellitus most frequently was registered in individuals with painless acute myocardium infarction (55.5%). In all cases, course of acute myocardium infarction was complicated. Under atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction higher lethality was registered and in groups with arrhythmic and cerebral forms it reached 100%.The conclusion. The whole group of patients with atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction was presented by over-age contingent, severe in clinical, anamnestic and prognostic layouts. The unsatisfactory diagnostic of atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction resulted in higher lethality of the given group of patients. With regard to that a general tendency of alteration of age structure of population of Russia is a steady increasing of percentage of individuals of older age groups t5he rate of occurrence of atypical clinical forms of acute myocardium infarction will regularly increase.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of Covid-19 in the district of Gujrat, its association with gender, age, its correlation with respiratory and cardiac symptoms and to find the link of this disease with travel history of patients to affected areas. Methodology: A total of 222 COVID-19 -Positive patients (Male and Female) out of 514 clinically suspected cases (fever, cough, dyspnoea, lethargy & anosmia) as per WHO guidelines were selected. The use of the data for research purposes was explained to patients, and informed consent was taken. The study was approved by the ethical committee of Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital. Samples were extracted from nasopharyngeal swabs using standard extraction protocol. Statistical tools used was SPSS Version 24. Chi-square test and correlation of age with respiratory and cardiac symptoms was calculated. Results: Male gender was significantly affected by this disease (P=0.001) as compared to the female gender. Regarding the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, 31(14%) were asymptomatic. 37(16.7%) had Dyspnea, 45 (65.3%) cough (P= 0.001). Nine (4.1%) developed pneumonia. Fever and Cough was the most common symptom in the age group 21-40 yrs(P=0.001). While pneumonia developed in the older age group. The cardiac symptoms appeared in young age group (p=0.000) in the age group 21-40 yrs (70.9% n=78).38 patients (17.2%) had the symptom of chest pain, 24(10.9%) tachycardia and 1(0.5%) developed arrhythmia. Out of 222 COVID positive patients, 67.1% (149) gave a history of direct contact with positive patients, 19.8% (n=44) gave travel history,4.5% (n=10) had a history of going to Raiwind Ijtamah and 8.6% (n=19) were zaireen/pilgrims from Taftan. Conclusion: The COVID -19 is comparatively more common in male patients. 50% of the patients were of age group 21-40 years showing the symptoms of fever and cough along with mild cardiac symptoms. Acute pneumonia developed in older age groups while cardiac symptoms were significant in young age. In Gujrat District, the majority of the patients (67.1%) developed Covid-19 due to travelling.
