This paper proposes an effective device for visually impaired person in order to have betterment in their routine life. The spread of visually impairment is very sensitive issue worldwide. Here we develop a Smart system for visually impaired, that make use of ultrasonic sensor and camera.The most point of this work is to plan a voice-based cautioning framework for the outwardly impeded individuals. Visually impaired individual’s finds navigation difficult as they struggle every day in performing actions for bypassing obstacles and hurdles in their regular life. In order to help visually impaired people navigate safely and quickly this system is proposed. Ultrasonic sensor is set on the exhibition which is utilized for impediment location with separate sign. The camera is set to detect the object before the outwardly impeded individuals and alarm them utilizing APR voice module. This system prevents the visually impaired people accidents and identifies the object in front of them. The scope of the work is extracting the object’s image and processing them in the knowledge base and interpret the captured one. Assistive Innovation for individuals with outwardly disabilities is anticipated to develop at a quick pace and affect the lives of people having visual impedance and the elderly ways previously is not possible.

Surface Changes

Ultrastructural changes have been shown to occur in the urinary bladder epithelium (urothelium) during the life span of humans. With increasing age, the luminal surface becomes more flexible and develops simple microvilli-like processes. Furthermore, the specialised asymmetric structure of the luminal plasma membrane is relatively more prominent in the young than in the elderly. The nature of the changes at the luminal surface is now explored by lectin-mediated adsorption visualised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Samples of young adult (21-31 y old) and elderly (58-82 y old) urothelia were fixed in buffered 2% glutaraldehyde for 10 m and washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing Ca++ and Mg++ at room temperature. They were incubated overnight at 4°C in 0.1 M ammonium chloride in PBS to block any remaining aldehyde groups. The samples were then allowed to stand in PBS at 37°C for 2 h before incubation at 37°C for 30 m with lectins. The lectins used were concanavalin A (Con A), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) at a concentration of 500 mg/ml in PBS at pH 7.A.

Dementia Syndrome

Pharmacological intervention for depressive symptoms in institutionalized elderly is higher than the population average. Among the patients on such medications are those with a puzzling mix of symptoms, diagnosed as “dementia syndrome of depression,” formerly termed “pseudodementia”. Cognitive-communicative changes, potentially due to medications, complicate the diagnosis even further. This discussion paper reviews the history of the terminology of “pseudodementia,” and examines the pharmacology given as treatment for depressive symptoms in the elderly population that can affect cognition and communication. Clinicians can reduce the risk of misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment by having an awareness of potential side effects, including decreased attention, memory, and reasoning capacities, particularly due to some anticholinergic medications. A team approach to care should include a cohesive effort directed at caution against over-medication, informed management of polypharmacology, enhancement of environmental/communication supports and quality of life, and recognizing the typical nature of some depressive signs in elderly institutionalized individuals.
