Computerized System

In the current era of globalization, the development of computers in the health sector has become increasingly rapid. Computerized systems are needed especially in handling a disease. Because sometimes doctors, nurses find it difficult to know the type of illness suffered by adults, children and the elderly without a good computerized system. Abdominal colic, for example. Abdominal colic is a disease where there is an unpleasant feeling in the oral cavity between the thigh border and the chest rib border. This disease is caused by several factors, for example, eating is already full, eating a lot of acid, spicy and also drinking lots of alcohol. And usually occurs in adults. Where symptoms are symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and noisy intestines and excessive farts. With these symptoms, which becomes a control that a person has abdominal colic disease. Therefore the author made a study of the implementation of the HB rule on the diagnosis of abdominal colic disease. Theebb rule algorithm is a simple and uncomplicated learning method in the process, with the aim of minimizing the risk of disease problems that occur in patients, especially adults

Reminiscence therapy is a type of cognitive therapy, which uses memory to maintain mental health and improve the quality of life of the elderly. Nurses are expected to be able to provide reminiscence therapy according to Standard Operating Procedures. The drilling method is a learning method to form a habit so that it can increase the ability of nurses to provide reminiscence therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the drill method through pre and post-conference on the ability of nurses to apply reminiscence therapy. This type of pre-experimental research, using a One-group pre-post test design. The number of samples is 10 people with purposive sampling. Data collection using the observation sheet. The results showed that the average pre-test nurse's ability was 70.769, including in the sufficient category, increasing to 95.899 when the post-test was in a good category. The results of the Paired t-test statistical test showed that the value of p = 0.000 <0.05 and count = 7.503> t table df 9 = 2.262. This shows that there is an effect of the drill method through pre and post-conference on the ability of nurses to apply reminiscence therapy. The drilling method can improve nurses' ability to apply SOP, especially reminiscence therapy through regular exercises with frequent frequency and sequentially according to the steps in SOP.

Imbalance in the resident microbiota may promote the growth of opportunistic microorganisms, such as yeasts of Candida genus and the development of diseases, especially in aged people. This study evaluated whether the consumption of the probiotic Yakult LB® (Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium breve) was able to influence on the specific immunological response against Candida and on the presence of these yeasts in the oral cavity of 42 healthy aged individuals. Saliva samples were collected before and after the probiotic use for 30 days, 3 times a week. The samples were plated in Dextrose Saboraud Agar with chloramphenicol, the colony-forming units (CFU/mL) were counted and the Candida species were identified. Anti-Candida IgA analysis was conducted using the ELISA technique. ANOVA and Student's t-test were used for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon test was used for data with non-normal distribution (α=0.05). The results showed a statistically significant reduction (p<0.05) in Candida prevalence (from 92.9% to 85.7%), in CFU/mL counts of Candida and in the number of non-albicans species after consumption of the probiotic. Immunological analysis demonstrated a significant increase (p<0.05) in anti-Candida IgA levels. In conclusion, probiotic bacteria reduced Candida numbers in the oral cavity of the elderly and increased specific secretory immune response against these yeasts, suggesting its possible use in controlling oral candidosis.

The aim of the study is to present the usefulness of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to explore the socio-economic indicators that affect the health level of the elderly. The study uses a specially designed questionnaire to capture data on socio-economic indicators of the elderly in Grece. The results of the survey are plotted in the corresponding geographical locations on the maps, using GIS in a way that provides the person concerned a full picture of the geographical distribution of socio-economic indicators that affect the health level of the elderly. The study finds that there is an obvious proportional relationship between Sense of Quality of Life with healthier characteristics, a less proportional relationship with financial characteristics and even a less proportional relationship with the age and the education level of the respondents. The study has implications for health sector professionals and policy makers in Greece.

Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, characterized by accumulation in the brain of misfolded proteins, inflammation, and oxidative damage leading to neuronal cell death. By considering the viewpoint that AD onset and worsening may be influenced by environmental factors causing infection, oxidative stress, and inflammatory reaction, we investigated the changes of the salivary proteome in a population of patients with respect to that in healthy controls (HCs). Indeed, the possible use of saliva as a diagnostic tool has been explored in several oral and systemic diseases. Moreover, the oral cavity continuously established adaptative and protective processes toward exogenous stimuli. In the present study, qualitative/quantitative variations of 56 salivary proteoforms, including post-translationally modified derivatives, have been analyzed by RP-HPLC-ESI-IT-MS and MS/MS analyses, and immunological methods were applied to validate MS results. The salivary protein profile of AD patients was characterized by significantly higher levels of some multifaceted proteins and peptides that were either specific to the oral cavity or also expressed in other body districts: (i) peptides involved in the homeostasis of the oral cavity; (ii) proteins acting as ROS/RNS scavengers and with a neuroprotective role, such as S100A8, S100A9, and their glutathionylated and nitrosylated proteoforms; cystatin B and glutathionylated and dimeric derivatives; (iii) proteins with antimicrobial activity, such as α-defensins, cystatins A and B, histatin 1, statherin, and thymosin β4, this last with a neuroprotective role at the level of microglia. These results suggested that, in response to injured conditions, Alzheimer patients established defensive mechanisms detectable at the oral level.
