Risk Factors for Falls in Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness: Results from the HOPE HOME Cohort Study
ConclusionsOlder homeless adults fall frequently. Likely contributors include having a high prevalence of conditions that increase the risk of falls, compounded by heightened exposure to unsafe environments. Fall prevention in this population should target those at highest risk and address modifiable environmental conditions. Providing shelter or housing and addressing substance use could reduce morbidity from falls in homeless older adults.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Clinical Symptoms, Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow Metrics and White Matter Changes
Conclusions
Patients with NPH, regardless of stages of the diseases, have increased ASV values and could benefit from shunting. Decreasing ASV values of patients with FG 3 comparing with those with FG 2 support the hypothesis of decreasing compliance of brain with aging and increasing severity of small-vessel disease.

Management Protocols and Encountered Complications among Stroke Patients Admitted to Stroke Unit of Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia: Prospective Observational study
ConclusionBoth neurologic and medical complications were common in majority of stroke patients. But the management protocol for stroke patients was sub-optimal and lagging behind the recommended guidelines due to lack of skilled personnel, appropriate treatment and diagnostic agents. The clinical team involved in the care of stroke patients should make preparations to take preventive measures that will save a lot of lives.

Introduction to Purinergic Signaling.
Abstract
Purinergic signaling was proposed in 1972, after it was demonstrated that adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) was a transmitter in nonadrenergic, noncholinergic inhibitory nerves supplying the guinea-pig taenia coli. Later, ATP was identified as an excitatory cotransmitter in sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, and it is now apparent that ATP acts as a cotransmitter in most, if not all, nerves in both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system (CNS). ATP acts as a short-term signaling molecule in neurotransmission, neuromodulation, and neurosecretion. It also has potent, long-term (trophic) ...

Predictors of caregiver burden after stroke in Nigeria: Effect on psychosocial well-being.
Conclusion: In this study, psychosocial burden in CGs was indexed by various determinants and impacted QoL negatively. Given the integral role of CGs to the care of SSs in the community, mental health services, psychosocial support programs, and stratification based on known vulnerability factors seems viable options for intervention, assessment, and planning.

Risk factors for long-term care after hemiplegia from cancer-related brain surgery: a pilot study for new prediction model.
CONCLUSIONS: The model developed by the pilot study allowed correct positive or negative prediction for long-term care need after rehabilitation for 90.6% of the patients suffering from cancer- related hemiplegia. A subsequent study on a larger sample of subjects resulted therefore feasible because overall correct prediction was higher than 85%.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Risk factors for intensive care at home (complete absence of motricity of affected limbs, trunk control deficit, fecal incontinence, dysphagia and comorbidity Charlson Index >3) can be useful to evaluate patients suffering from hemiplegia due...

133 Prospective Audit of Adherence to Current Guidelines for Urinary Catheterisation on a Dedicated Geriatric ward in a Tertiary Hospital
ConclusionAlthough this audit represents a small cohort, the results demonstrate a high rate of urinary catheter insertion without adequate indication. This audit should be repeated using a larger sample size. Appropriate education at ward level and with admitting NCHDs about: appropriate catheterisation practice should be performed with a view to re-auditing subsequently. Update of current guidelines is warranted.

Age Well with Smart HealthTech
America is going gray. According to U.S. Census data, in 2030 even the youngest Baby Boomers will have reached 65, and older Americans will make up 21 percent of the population. That’s up from 15 percent today. By 2060, nearly a quarter of Americans will be at least 65 and a half million will reach age 100.
These changing demographics give urgency to the concept of “aging in place.†Nobody wants to lose their independence, but that’s the reality for many who are forced from their homes by cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes or other chron...

Efficacy of Biofeedback for Medical Conditions: an Evidence Map
We present our findings in the form of evidence maps.ResultsWe included 16 good-quality systematic reviews examining biofeedback alone or as an adjunctive intervention. We found clear, consistent evidence across a large number of trials that biofeedback can reduce headache pain and can provide benefit as adjunctive therapy to men experiencing urinary incontinence after a prostatectomy. Consistent evidence across fewer trials suggests biofeedback may improve fecal incontinence and stroke recovery. There is insufficient evidence to draw conclusions about effects for most conditions including bruxism, labor pain, and Raynaud ...

Noninvasive spinal neuromodulation to map and augment lower urinary tract function in rhesus macaques.
Abstract
Dysfunction of the lower urinary tract (LUT) is prevalent in neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative conditions. Common symptoms include urgency, incontinence, and urinary retention. Recent advances in neuromodulation have resulted in improved treatments for overactive bladder symptoms of urgency, frequency, and nocturia. However, there are presently no treatments available for the induction of voiding to overcome urinary retention. We demonstrate that transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS), a non-invasive intervention, applied over the...

He also had had chemotherapy and radiation for anal cancer. The patient said the pain had started 45 minutes earlier when he was sitting on the toilet.He described the pain as sore in quality and 10/10 on the pain scale. He reported that it had started in his lower back and radiated to his left leg. He said he had had no trauma or weakness to the regi...

Management of Urinary Incontinence in Older Adults in Rehabilitation Care Settings
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThis review focuses on updates in the management of urinary incontinence occurring in older adult populations living with conditions frequently managed by physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists.Recent FindingsUrinary incontinence is common among older adults who live with neurologic diseases, such as stroke, Parkinson ’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury, and may be cared for in outpatient and acute rehabilitation facilities. While the evidence is growing regarding treatment strategies specific to patients with neurogenic bladder, behavioral treatment approaches ma...
