Many older adults experience a decline in shoulder function due to aging. This decline leads to limitations in daily activities and a lower quality of life. The incorporation of physical therapy interventions through elastic band exercises has demonstrated improved overall physical faculties among older adults. However, there is limited literature regarding the effect of these interventions on shoulder function in older adults. This scoping review summarized the current literature regarding elastic band exercises targeting shoulder function in older adults. A systematic literature search was performed using the Scopus and PubMed databases. An additional manual search was conducted using the PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database). Articles were included if they were published in a peer-reviewed journal in 2017–2021. After assessing eligibility, five randomized controlled trials articles were included in the analysis. We discovered that two types of elastic interventions were applied to older adults: namely, the TheraBand and tube bands. We observed heterogeneity in participant characteristics among the studies (healthy older adults, older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and older adults with sarcopenic obesity). The duration of the exercise intervention ranged from 3 to 36 sessions. Only one study measured shoulder function as the primary outcome. Our findings suggest that elastic band exercises have been applied to older adults in various conditions and tended to be effective; however, evidence on this topic is insufficient.

Abstract High rates of opioid prescribing and comorbid medical conditions increase risk of overdose among older adults. As the US population ages and the rates of opioid use disorder (OUD) increase in the elderly population, there is a need to characterize trends and correlates of overdose in order to more effectively target policy and practice. Using a ~40% random sample of 2015-2017 Medicare beneficiaries ages 65 and older with Part D pharmacy coverage, this study examined medically treated opioid overdoses among US older adults. The sample included 13-14 million beneficiaries per year. The rate of medically treated opioid overdoses among elderly Medicare beneficiaries increased by 15% from 6 per 10,000 in 2015 to 6.9 per 10,000 in 2017. Those with overdose were disproportionately female (63%), non-Hispanic white (83%), with diagnoses of pain conditions (96%), with diagnoses of major depression (63%), and with high rates of conditions that decrease respiratory reserve such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 13% had co-occurring diagnosed alcohol use disorder, 36% were diagnosed with opioid dependence or abuse, and 12% were diagnosed with hepatitis C. Older individuals with overdose represent a complex mix of risk factors; identifying those most at risk (as well as those who have very low risk, whose pain management may be compromised by overly-rigid interpretation of opioid use guidelines) is key in order to address multiple risks, balancing risk reduction with appropriate pain management.

RÉSUMÉBeacoup de patients, surtout les patients plus âgés, interagissent avec fournisseurs multiples, tout en avant accès aux services des soins de santé dans une variété de milieux divers pendants longues périodes. Comprendre les expériences des patients plus âgés pendant leurs voyages à travers le système de santé est essentielle pour améliorer l’intégration des services et la qualité des soins. Dans cette étude, nous avons résumé les expériences de quatre patients vivant avec la maladie pulmonaire obstructive chronique en interaction avec le système des soins de santé pendant une période de trois mois après la sortie de l’hôpital. Guidé par la méthodologie d’étude de cas, on a réunis les données par le biais des entretiens semi-structurés et des journaux de patients. Trois grands thèmes - le soutien social, la navigation à travers le système, et l’accès aux soins – ont émergé à partir des données. L’attention à la communication entre fournisseur-patient et prestataire-fournisseur, ainsi que le soutien social du patient, et les besoins des soins auto-administrés, pourraient améliorer l’intégration et les résultats des soins. Pour réaliser de ce que les patients perçoivent comme une système integrée et efficace, il faudra du temps et de l’engagement.

Perokok pasif adalah orang tidak merokok, namun ikut menghirup asap rokok dari orang-orang merokok di sekitarnya. Produk yang dihirup dihasilkan dari asap utama yang dihembuskan dan asap dari ujung rokok yang masih membara. Perokok pasif memiliki kandungan nikotin yang akan dimetabolisme menjadi kotinin menggunakan enzim CYP2A6 Cytochrome P450, Family 2, Subfamily A, Polypeptide dan didistribusikan dalam tubuh perokok pasif seperti darah, saliva, dan urine. Hasil metabolisme mengakibatkan peningkatan kadar kotinin dalam tubuh perokok pasif. Dampak peningkatan kadar kotinin menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan seperti lung cancer, oral cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dan coronary heart disease. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis pengaruh paparan asap rokok terhadap kadar kotinin dalam tubuh perokok pasif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode scoping review dengan subjek artikel ilmiah nasional dan internasional yang memenuhi kriteria kelayakan (eligible). Hasil pada penelitian ini diambil dari artikel yang akan dinilai secara PICOS, yaitu Population: anak-anak perokok pasif yang terdapat pada jurnal artikel, Intervention/Exposure: asap rokok sekunder, Comparison: anak-anak yang tidak tinggal dengan perokok, Outcome: kadar kotinin dalam tubuh perokok pasif, Studi: RCT, clinical trial, dan cross sectional. Artikel yang memenuhi kelayakan (eligible) ada 6 artikel. Simpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada perokok pasif menunjukan kadar kotinin yang meningkat.  Scope Review: The Effect of Cigarette Exposure to Cotinine Levels in The Body of Passive SmokersSecondhand smoke is a product produced from the main smoke that is exhaled and the smoke from the tip of the cigarette that is still burning. Passive smokers who contain nicotine which will be metabolized into cotinine use the enzymes CYP2A6 Cytochrome P450, Family 2, Subfamily A, Polypeptides and distros in the body of passive smokers such as blood, saliva and urine. From the measurement results the increase in cotinine levels in the body of passive smokers. The impact of increasing levels of cotinins causes health problems such as lung cancer, oral cancer, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and coronary heart disease. The research objective was to analyze the effect of cigarette smoke on cotinine levels in the body of passive smokers. The research was taken using the scoping review method with the subject of national and international scientific articles that meet the eligibility criteria (elegible). The results in this study were taken from articles to be taken using PICOS, namely Population: children of passive smoking found in journal articles, Intervention/Exposure:secondary cigarette smoke, Comparison: children who do not live with smokers, Results: body cotinine levels in passive smokers, Studies (RCT, clinical trial, and cross sectional). There are 6 articles that fulfill the eligibility (elegible). The conclusion of this study shows that exposure to passive smoking using cotinine concentrations taken in the body of passive smokers shows an increase in cotinine levels.

Aims: In breathless individuals with respiratory disease, pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can improve exercise capacity, symptoms and ability to cope with their condition. However, access is often limited, and adherence can be poor. Thus, there is interest in developing alternative and complementary forms of exercise intervention and tai chi may be effective in this context. Method: The British Lung Foundation worked in collaboration with ‘Tai Chi Movements for Wellbeing’ Training to train leaders to run community-based tai chi groups in the UK. Leaders received funding to run 3 months of once-a-week classes consisting of a 12 movement sequence of tai chi. Participants completed a questionnaire survey to evaluate the service at the start of their first session and again after 3 months. Results: Ten tai chi groups recruited 128 participants, 65% women, mean (standard deviation (SD)) age 70.1 (7.4) years at baseline. Seventy individuals completed the follow-up questionnaire at 3 months. Participants demonstrated an improvement in Medical Research Council (MRC) Dyspnoea Score pre 3 (interquartile range (IQR) = 1.8), post 2 (IQR = 1), p = .013 and disease burden; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test score pre 19.4 (8.7), post 17.9 (9.4), mean change –1.5 (confidence interval (CI): –2.89 to –0.127), p = .033. Those who completed the programme had a worse baseline COPD assessment test (CAT) score and were more likely to have participated in maintenance exercise previously. Qualitative feedback suggested that participants felt the classes had helped with breathlessness and relaxation. Conclusion: Establishing a tai chi for wellbeing programme for people with respiratory disease is feasible, with a reasonable level of compliance, and is perceived to be helpful by participants.
