Almost half of the study sample were males, and most were on hemodialysis between one and three years. The majority of them had hypertension and complications associated with he-modialysis such as headache and hypotension, and more than half had back pain. A highly significant association was found between dependency in activities of daily living and some socio-economic and clinical variables. Furthermore, a significant association was found be-tween dependency in activities of daily living and some hemodialysis complications with P<0.001. Conclusion: According to the result of the study, the researchers concluded that partici-pants suffered from chronic diseases, hemodialysis complications and low level of activities of daily living. The complications of hemodialysis treatment were significantly affecting the activities of daily living. Haemodialysis patients need more education and nursing care to reduce treatment complications and to increase their activities.

In Indonesia an estimated incidence rate of severe mental retardation approximately 0,3% of the entire population, and almost 3% had an IQ value below 70. As a human resources they can not be used, because 0,1% of these children require care, guidance and supervision throughout his life. Because unknown children level of independence in activities of daily living based on the degree of mental retardation then he study was aimed to know the relationship of the degree of mental retardation and ability of daily living activities. This study used cross sectional design. The population was 37 people with using total sampling, then using secondary and primary data are processed in a univariabel and bivariabel. This study was conducted in 2017 at SLB Bengkulu Province.                The results showed that most of the 37,8% has a severe degree of mental retardation, and most of the 51,4% children with mental retardation have an inability to carry out activity of  daily living. The results of bivariabel analysis by chi-square test found that p=0,005, a significant relationship between the degree of mental retardation and  ability of daily living activities. In addition to special education in school children with mental retardation should also be trained and guided by parents in carry out activities of daily living to be independent and adapt to daily life without assistance. Keywords : ADL, children, degree  of  mental retardation

INTRODUCTION: One of the important current problems in HIV/AIDS infection is the establishment of epidemiological and laboratorial prognostic parameters during patient follow-up. This study aimed at analyzing the evolution of laboratory tests: CD4 lymphocyte count, viral load, hemoglobin (Hb), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and the epidemiological variables sex and age as prognostic factors for survival in progression to death among AIDS patients. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted using analysis of medical records, and prospective 24-month follow-up of patients with HIV/ AIDS attended at the President Vargas Hospital Outpatient Clinic, a reference center in HIV/ AIDS attendance in the State of Maranhão, Brazil. The study analyzed patients aged 10 to 60 years old, who manifested AIDS and who were not using antiretroviral therapy or had used it for less than 5 years. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: The sample included 100 patients - 57 were current outpatients, and 43 had died. The variables viral load (p=0.726), ALT (p=0.314), sex (p=0.687), and age (p=0.742) were analyzed, and no evidence of association between them and worst prognosis was observed. CONCLUSIONS: A significant relation was verified between low Hb levels (p=0.000) and CD4 (p=0.000) and shorter survival.

Introduction: Amantadine anecdotally improves gait in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) but definitive data is lacking. We investigated associations between amantadine usage, gait, cognition, and activities of daily living in 310 subjects with PSP using data from the davunetide trial.Method: We compared baseline demographics, PSP Rating Scale (PSPRS), Repeat Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), and Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SEADL) scores between subjects taking vs. not taking amantadine using chi-square tests for categorical variables and independent sample t-tests for continuous variables. Using the general linear model (GLM), we tested whether group status predicted total PSPRS, PSPRS-gait and midline, total RBANS, RBANS-attention, and SEADL before and after the 52-weeks follow-up.Results: Subjects taking vs. not taking amantadine were similar at baseline, except subjects taking amantadine had a higher Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Score (p = 0.01). However, the CGI change score did not differ between groups at week 52 (p = 0.10). Using GLM models (controlling for covariates), we found that subjects taking vs. not taking amantadine did not significantly predict total PSPRS, PSPRS-gait and midline, total RBANS, RBANS-attention, or SEADL at baseline, week 52, or the change score between baseline and week 52.Discussion: This post-hoc analysis of the davunetide trial did not find an association between amantadine and gait or cognitive measures in PSP, but was not powered to find such a difference. Future studies should still examine amantadine for symptomatic benefit in multiple PSP subtypes.
