RESUMENEl envejecimiento activo, donde está presente el concepto de educación y aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida, va dirigido a todos los grupos de edad, especialmente a las personas mayores. Éste representa, aborda y nos descubre valores sociales necesarios en la actualidad: autonomía, participación, solidaridad intergeneracional, convivencia, tolerancia, ciudadanía, diálogo... Con el envejecimiento activo, se buscan no solo objetivos de salud sino también objetivos sociales de independencia, de movilidad en el sentido más amplio de la palabra, de facilitar la posibilidad de desarrollar programas y trabajos que, constituyan una continuidad con lo que ha sido la vida previa de cada uno y contribuyan al bien común. Mientras para algunos supone una continuidad de lo que ha sido la vida previa, para otros será un inicio. La persona mayor debe proponérselo, pero la sociedad en su conjunto debe facilitar su realización. Sin duda, el empoderamiento y aprendizajes en la vejez conforman una herramienta para ello. En los últimos años, y dentro del marco de una sociedad inclusiva y longeva, se está teniendo en cuenta el envejecimiento no sólo de la población en general, sino el envejecimiento de las personas con discapacidad. Hoy día, la discapacidad no significa minoría de edad permanente.Palabras Clave: Aprendizaje Permanente, Envejecimiento Activo, Empoderamiento, Personas Mayores, Discapacidad.ABSTRACTActive aging in which the concept of education and learning is presented throughout life, and is aimed at all age groups, especially the elderly people. This represents, addresses and shows social values needed today: autonomy, participation, intergenerational solidarity, coexistence, tolerance, citizenship, dialogue ... With active aging, health objectives are sought as well as social goals of independence, mobility in the broadest sense of the word, to facilitate the possibility of developing work programs and constitute a continuity with what has been the previous life of each and serve the common benefit. While for some this is a continuation of what has been a previous life, for others it will be a start. The elderly people should propose it, but society would have to facilitate its implementation. Certainly, empowerment and learning in the old age are a tool for this. In recent years, and within the framework of an inclusive and long-lived society, we are taking into account the aging not only of the population in general, but also the aging of people with disabilities. Today, disability does not mean a permanent minority.Keywords: Lifelong Learning, Active Ageing, Empowerment, Elderly people, Disability.

Recurrent Strokes

The aim of the research is to study and to analyze the prevalence of recurrent strokes in the Russian regions included in Federal program from 2009 to 2016 on reorganization of care for patients with stroke in different age groups. Material and methods. The research method is territory and population register. The study included seven territories with 7124 of cases of recurrent stroke in total. The examined patients were divided into four age groups: of young age - 25-44 years old; of average age - 45-59 years old; of old age - 60-74 years old, and of senile - 75 years and older. Statistical analysis was carried out using programming language for statistical calculations R version 3.3.2. Results. The maximum number of recurrent stroke cases was registered in old age (46.6%), and the minimum number of cases of recurrent stroke was among young people (2.4%). When analyzing the incidence of recurrent strokes, depending on the year, the most systematic percentage decrease of recurrent strokes was observed among elderly people. The highest percentage of recurrent strokes was determined among the elderly people in 2013 - 26.38%; and the lowest percentage of recurrent strokes was recorded among young people. Conclusion. Among the surveyed age groups statistically significant decrease in recurrent strokes among young, middle-aged and elderly people was revealed during 2009 - 2016. It is the criterion for the effectiveness of recurrent stroke prevention conducted in the studied areas. There was no statistically significant decrease in the prevalence of recurrent stroke among elderly people by 2016. It indicates that the prevention of recurrent strokes in old age is a difficult task due to concomitant diseases and associated pathology in these patients.

Specific Meaning

ABSTRACTHistorically, ageing processes have often been perceived as growing constraints to a good life, but proposals for a reorganization of positive meanings also date back at least to Roman times. In order to study age-related reorganization of meaning, self-descriptive statements of 300 young and 300 elderly adults were collected with a sentence completion test. A coding scheme was used to identify age-specific meaning patterns.In contrast to young adults, elderly people completed problem- and future-oriented sentence stems significantly more often by referring to negative aspects of their own ageing process. Nevertheless, their answers to self-referent sentence stems showed that they used significantly more positive and fewer negative or ambivalent statements about self and life. The analysis of the overall patterns of cognitions in both age groups suggested that, within the existential constraints of old age, positive meaning is created by elderly people through various cognitive-affective strategies. For instance, instead of maintaining high expectations for life realization and self-development, the elderly change their standards, becoming more self-accepting and value more highly what is already given and still available. Conclusions are drawn about life-span development and modifiability of meaning.

Prevalencia y evolución de la apendicitis aguda en pacientes del Hospital Belén de Trujillo Prevalence and evolution of the acute appendicitis in the La Libertad in the years 2011 to 2015 in HBT Elizabeth Aguirre1ª, Cecilia Cabanillas2ª, Esteban Vergara3ª 1 Hospital Belén de Trujillo, [email protected] 2 Clínica Peruano Americana - Trujillo, [email protected] 3 Hospital Regional Docente de Trujillo, [email protected] ª Maestría de la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2016.0006/ Resumen La apendicitis aguda es la emergencia quirúrgica más común en todo el mundo, y por eso la apendicectomía es uno de los procedimientos quirúrgicos más comunes. La incidencia máxima es entre la segunda y las terceras décadas de la vida. Aunque la mayoría de los pacientes con apendicitis aguda tiene enfermedad no complicada, la apendicitis complicada es relativamente común con una incidencia similar para todos los grupos de edad.  Hemos encontrado que personas de edad avanzada cada vez más están siendo diagnosticados con apendicitis aguda, aunque ya en una etapa posterior de enfermedad. Algunos autores han sugerido que la apendicitis en el anciano es comúnmente asociada con un retraso en el diagnóstico y una alta tasa de complicaciones. En nuestro estudio encontramos que el sexo masculino fue predominante, así mismo la mayor frecuencia se encontró en Trujillo, teniendo el 2012 el año de mayor número de casos. El propósito del estudio fue determinar la prevalencia y la evolución de la apendicitis aguda en los pacientes del Hospital Belén de Trujillo, procedentes del departamento La Libertad, con datos tomados del archivo del Hospital Belén de Trujillo, durante el quinquenio 2011-2015, para poder tener una visión de la realidad de esta patología tan frecuente, pero en nuestra región. Descriptores: apendicitis, prevalencia, evolución. Abstract Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency around the world, and that appendectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures. The peak incidence is between the second and the third decade of life. Although the majority of patients with acute appendicitis has uncomplicated illness, complicated appendicitis is relatively common with an incidence similar for all age groups.  We have found that more and more elderly people are being diagnosed with appendicitis, although in a later stage of disease. Some authors have suggested that the appendicitis in the elderly is commonly associated with a delay in the diagnosis and a high rate of complications. We also found that within the Department La Libertad, the patients from nearby provinces attend is with more incidence geographically, although we also found very remote places patients who often are the complicated. The purpose of the study is intended to determine the prevalence and evolution of the acute appendicitis in the La Libertad Department, with data taken from the archive of the Hospital Belen of Trujillo, during the five-year period 2011-2015, in order to have a glimpse of the reality of this disease so prevalent, but in our region. Keywords: appendicitis, prevalence, evolution.

The article discusses the issue of active aging strategies that differ from those used in traditional medicine. Practice shows that the resources of the latter are insufficient for successfully overcoming the systemic problems of people, growing with aging and maximum in old age. The accumulation of the problematic nature of the physical body in long-lived people requires a special, comprehensive approach to treatment with penetration into the root nature of a person. Based on innovative knowledge, including data from his own research, the author is talking about a synergistic approach that includes, along with the existing practice of treating the elderly, methods of informational- energetic medicine. Medicine, working at the level of the subtle, causal sphere of a person, where the roots of all his diseases lie and are revealed. This way of solving, the author believes, bears the maximum healing effect for the body on all levels of its multidimensionality – substance, information, energy.

The population of the population in the world is increasing day by day. One of the age groups that have a significant increase in the elderly group. Projections and data found about the elderly are a concern that is of interest to the whole world because along with the increase in population it is accompanied by physical and psychological problems that accompany it. This study aims to identify factors that affect depression in retired elderly people. The design used in this study uses a research design: "CROSS-SECTIONAL". In this study, the population is elderly retirees who live in the area of Jekan Raya Subdistrict, Palangka Raya City. The sampling technique in this study uses consecutive sampling technique, which is the best type of non-probability sampling, that is, all objects that come sequentially and meet the selection criteria are included in the study until the number of subjects needed is fulfilled, namely as many as 100 people. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between sex (p: 0.671), employment status (p: 0.994), marital status (p: 0.726), education (p: 0.988), and the level of depression in retired civil servants in Jekan Subdistrict Raya Kota Palangka Raya. This research is expected to contribute positively to the management of elderly people with depression so that they are able to adapt to changes that occur due to the aging process.

Operational Concept

The widespread expression saying that "loneliness is the No. 1 enemy of old age" has, in the 21st century, becomes obvious and banal now that suicide rates among the elderly in many countries and in Israel, the case study for this paper, is higher than among other age groups in those countries.Loneliness itself, its ramifications, consequences, and implications on the lives of the elderly have made it a dominant factor in terms of its potential damage.Old age and loneliness have been the subjects of many different definitions, studies and theories, but despite the quantity and quality of these attempts worldwide, and particularly in Israeli research, there is a conspicuous lack of any comprehensive plan that would address the implications and destructive effects of the loneliness experienced by the elderly. Many limited-scale programs exist on a local level, but they fail to address the clear need to eradicate menacing loneliness.The authors of this essay plan to outline basic principles for designing an operational concept for a national plan to combat the consequences and effects of depression among the elderly, using Israel as an example.This paper will begin with a review of the definitions and literature on the phenomenon of depression, and a review of the literature dealing with the unhealthy connection between old age and depression. We will then review various programs worldwide that deal with the phenomenon of loneliness and old age; continue to present data on the effects of loneliness on elderly Israelis; present various Israeli programs and projects that attempt to deal with this phenomenon; and conclude by detailing the proposed principles for a comprehensive operational approach that maps out this painful phenomenon in Israel and proposes a plan of action on how to best deal with it.

Old Maid

This is a field research that analyzes the marriage suitability of elderly people in Socah, Bangkalan under the theory of maqasid shari'ah. The elderly marriage is officially conducted at KUA (Religious Affairs Office) of Socah for different reasons, namely: on the basis of coercion to the bride so that the family relationship does not break up, resulting in reluctance, on the basis of family compassion and encouragement. It is because the bride is an old maid and is his own niece on the basis of mutual love, avoid immorality and seek peace of life in old age. All couples can fulfill both material and non-material obligations, although not as perfect as a young couple. Some husbands do not want to have children for fear of not being able to support even though in this case the wife really wants it. Thus, the marriage of the elderly in Socah is sometimes appropriate and not in accordance with the maqasid shari'ah. The suitability in question is in terms of hifz al-din (protecting religion) and hifz al-mal (protecting wealth), while its inadequacies are in terms of hifz al-nasl (protecting offspring), because of their desires to have offspring and in terms of hifz al-nafs (protecting soul), and hifz al-'aql (protecting ratio), because of differences in descent have the negative effect on family disharmony that can interfere with the soul and mind. In this case, an intense dialogue and approach must be made to the couple to be more open and understand each other.

Electroconvulsive therapy is an important treatment in the depressive states of late life, and there is general agreement about the indications for its use in old age psychiatry. Indeed, old age may be associated with a better response to ECT than that in younger age groups. The additional risk involved through physical problems in the elderly is not great when compared with that of continuing depression and of the side-effects of alternative treatments. Temporary memory disorders and confusion may occur, but are minimised if unilateral electrode placement is used. Some patients treated with unilateral ECT do not respond, but will respond to bilateral treatment. Anxiety over unwanted treatment effects, which can lead to ineffective treatment of depressive illness, must be outweighed by knowledge of the dangers of leaving depression untreated in old age.

A main objective of European governments is to reduce the number of early retirees, either by reforming pension systems or promoting active aging in working life. The importance of formulating a coherent personnel policy for all age groups is increasingly recognized by employers. However, there is still a lack of knowledge as how to strategically cope with an aging labor force. The aim of this article is to define and discuss a number of challenges arising from workplace-related active aging policies. We in particular discuss how an emphasis on economic incentives and gains (“senior goods”) may give rise to unanticipated side effects for the employers as well as the employees. The article is based on results from two recent studies: one study examining six Norwegian municipalities with seemingly good practices in work-related old age policies, and another examining such policies in eight establishments in four different industries.
