A retrospective study of 1489 hospital records examined the relationship of speech-language pathologist (SLP) consults for dysphagia to age and gender in pneumonia patients from an acute care setting. Age and gender disparities exist in healthcare. The research sought to determine if disparities existed in the presence/absence of SLP dysphagia consults related to age and gender. Results suggested SLPs were consulted on a greater percentage of geriatric patients overall; however, there were differences in the number of consults for each pneumonia type. More males and geriatric patients were seen than females and non-geriatric adults, respectively. Results may be used to address local hospital policies and protocols and thus increase quality of care by improving morbidity and mortality outcomes of geriatric patients with pneumonia.

This study investigated the death anxiety (DA) scores of participants in outdoor-adventure recreational (OAR) activities, and the relationship of the DA scores to several demographic features and experience of DA. The study included 589 individuals with various leisure-time OAR experience levels (131 women, 458 men; Mage=29.79±9.64). Their sports included climbing (n=200), scuba diving (n=142), and paragliding (n=247). DA was measured by the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale. Overall, the DA scores were low, with no significant differences between OAR activities. However, the DA scores were affected by age and gender, and length of OAR experience. More specifically, the DA scores were highest for 18-28-year-old participants, women, and participants with 4-6 years of middle-level OAR experience. Previous negative DA experiences did not increase the DA scores.

Purpose Performance appraisal (PA) is one of the most indispensable human resource management practices as many critical decisions regarding employees’ performance are heavily based on the PA results as they are responsible for various attitude-related outcomes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between PA justice and affective commitment (AC) of employees in the Indian banking sector, and to examine the moderating effects of age and gender on this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A total of 298 employees from the banking sector were randomly selected to examine the relationship between PA justice and AC along with the moderating role of age and gender on this relationship through structural equation modelling using AMOS 21. Findings The findings of the study supported hypothesized relationships as PA justice significantly predicted the AC of bank employees in India. The moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC are found to be high for older employees and female employees, respectively. Research limitations/implications As the present study was cross-sectional, so any inferences regarding causality are limited. Theoretical and managerial implications have been discussed in the context of banking sector. Originality/value The paper contributes new insights to the existing literature by examining the moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC in the context of Indian banking sector.

RÉSUMÉL’ostéoarthrite (OA) chez les personnes âgées constitue une condition chronique et répandue associée à des douleurs importantes d’invalidité. L’utilisation d’analgésiques par voie orale est un élément central de la gestion des symptômes. L’utilisation de médicaments par cette population, cependant, est complexe et la nécessité de contrôler les symptômes doivent être mis en balance avec les préoccupations concernant la sécurité des médicaments. Notre étude s’est concentrée à illustrer et à explorer les variations entre divers médicaments différents utilisés pour gérer les symptômes liés à l’ostéoarthrite. Nous avons analysé les données provenant d’un échantillon de personnes âgées de 55 ans et plus, qui vivent dans les communautés, et qui souffrent d’arthrite de la hanche ou du genou pour examiner les facteurs sociaux et médicaux associés à la variation dans les médicaments rapporté. Une conclusion principale est que les types de médicaments utilisés par les patients atteints d’ostéoarthrite varient selon l’âge et le sexe, indépendamment de la maladie et du contexte médical et social. Les explications possibles ont été considérés comme relatives aux préférences des patients et des professionnels.

Older people are encouraged into self-employment as a means to extend their working lives; however, both age and gender are thought to constrain the capacity of individuals to take on an enterprising identity. This paper explores the narrative identity work of women over 50 contemplating a move into self-employment. It reveals how they negotiated a provisional self-employed identity in relation to an aged identity, an enterprising identity and an identity as organizational outsider. It discusses the implications of contrasting forms of engagement with these identities for the subsequent enactment of participants’ business plans. The paper briefly considers the implications of its findings for the following areas: enacting and realizing provisional identities; the relationship of self-employment to enterprise; and a process-based conceptualization of age.

Objective: To assess the indications of tracheostomy among patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and to observe the relationship of the timings and outcome of tracheostomy with age and gender. Study Design and Setting: It was a descriptive study conducted at intensive care unit (ICU) of Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Bahawal Victoria Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. Methodology: Secondary data was collected with the help of charts of ICU patients in which elective tracheostomy was done to replace orotracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were designed. Clinical record was reviewed for the assessment of indications of the procedure (medical or surgical) along with age and gender distribution. The timing of tracheostomy in these patients with its outcome in terms of decannulation and weaning were recorded. Proforma was used to enter the findings. Finally results were obtained and assessed on SPSS Version 23. Results: Out of total 551 tracheostomies 42(7.6%) were indicated for the patients of ICU requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. From the 42 mechanical ventilated patients majority had Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) 20(47.6%). Twenty six patients were adults (61.9%) and sixteen were children (38%).Twenty four were male patients (57.1%) and eighteen were females (42.8%). The timing of tracheostomy among majority of the patients (40) was from 7-10 days, with mean of 9th day with good outcome. Only two patients who underwent tracheostomy after two weeks had to face poor outcome (failed decannulation, late weaning) (4.7%). Conclusion: Neuroparalytic lesions were the common indication among the patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation with tracheostomy. Tracheostomy if performed earlier in such patients carries good outcome

Abstract Objectives Nine common characteristics of Blue Zone regions (Power 9) are having a natural movement pattern, having an ikigai (a reason for being), being able to cope with stress, being able to stop eating before being full, eating a predominantly plant-based diet, drinking wine regularly, having a sense of belonging, strong family ties and strong social bonds. In the present study, we investigated the relationship of Power 9 characteristics with age and gender using the 'Longevity Compliance Scale' that we have recently developed. Methods Data were collected by administering the online 'Longevity Compliance Scale' (nine questions of 5-point Likert scale type) to 490 participants. SPSS was used for calculations. Results Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.763 (76.3%). Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin coefficient was 83%, and the factor analysis test provided high reliability (0.830 > 0.750). The total score was higher in female and elderly participants (Hedges' g: 0.046643, 95% Cls: 1.152-4.517, p:0.01). Conclusion We found that longevity compliance developed predominantly in female and elderly participants. These results may vary across regions and cultures; thus, they cannot be generalized. However, it is crucial to demonstrate the effect of the nine common dominant points, which have been found after extensive studies conducted for many years. These nine points could be critical factors associated with longevity. It might provide us with tips to prolong our lives and help us stay healthy. Knowledge and experience accumulated as a result of aging, especially in women, may, instinctively or consciously, enhance compliance with the codes for longevity.
