Association between urinary incontinence and frailty: a systematic review and meta-analysis

2018

Purpose: Urinary incontinence (UI) and frailty are common geriatric syndromes. Although literature increasingly supports a relationship between these two conditions, no systematic review and meta-analysis has been performed on this topic. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential association between UI and frailty, through a meta-analytic approach. Methods: A systematic search in major databases was undertaken until 15th March 2018 for studies reporting the association between UI and frailty. The prevalence of UI in people with frailty (vs. those without) was pooled through an odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with a random-effects model. The other outcomes were sum…

Jacint Verdaguer, Andrejs Pumpurs and Petar Petrović Njegos: Three Moments in the Romantic National Epic of 19th-Century Europe

2015

In the course of the 19th century, from one extreme to another, literary manifestations of nationalism have shown up in several different genres, and meaningfully in the epic genre, which is perceived, according to the Western literary canon, with its beginning in the Greek epics of the Iliad and the Odyssey , as a primary expression of the cosmogonic myths of an ethnic group in search of the national identity. This paper, through the analysis of the works of three major European poets, the Catalan Jacint Verdaguer, the Latvian Andrejs Pumpurs, and the Montenegrian Petar Petrovic Njegos, each one of them writing without knowing the other two, tries to state that despite the obvious social, …

The relationship between Polypharmacy and Trajectories of Cognitive Decline in People with Dementia: a large representative cohort study

2019

Polypharmacy, defined through the number of medications prescribed, has been linked to a range of adverse health outcomes in people with dementia. It is however unclear whether a numerical threshold of concurrently prescribed drugs is a suitable predictor for cognitive decline. We aimed to test associations between polypharmacy and both short-term (six months) and long-term (three years) cognitive trajectories in patients with incident dementia. Using data from a large mental health and dementia care database in South London, a cohort of 12,148 patients (mean age = 80.7 years, 61.1% female, mean MMSE = 18.6) clinically diagnosed with dementia was identified. We determined the number of medi…

Interest in meta-research in geriatric medicine: a survey of members of the European Geriatric Medicine Society

2020

To know the knowledge of the EuGMS members regarding meta-research, especially systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Interest in systematic reviews and meta-analyses is high and there is a demand for education on these topics in relation to geriatric medicine. We need more resources in the EuGMS for education for meta-research tailored for geriatric medicine. There has been an exponential increase in meta-research, especially in the branch dealing with systematic reviews [SRs] and meta-analyses [MAs]. However, the knowledge regarding these topics in geriatric medicine is still poorly explored. We therefore undertook a survey of the current knowledge and needs in meta-research in geriatrics.…

Statistical Modeling for the Flow of Short Fibers Composites

1994

Numerical results are given for the flow of fiber composites modelled as suspensions of non spherical particles. In this framework, because the many particles rotate, their state of orientation is described with a statistical approach. We used these methods to compute coupled solutions in which the orientation of the particles is affected by the flow and the flow itself depends on the orientation of the particles. The computation methods involve an augmented lagrangian approach and a streamline upwind petrov galerkin formulation to solve the convective orientation equation.

"Belye lilii" : genezis finskogo mifa v bolgarii, rol' russkogo fennofil'stva, finsko-bolgarskie kontakty i posredniki s konca XIX do konca XX veka

2004

Liilia Siibergin väitöstyössä osoitetaan, miten suomalaisista on kirjallisuuden kautta Bulgariassa tullut sankareita, joita kohtaan tunnetaan erityistä sympatiaa. Samalla suomalaisista sinkoutuu pois kaikki, mikä voisi viitata epätäydellisyyteen. – Emme enää voi puhua stereotypiasta, vaan kyseessä on kansallismyytti, Siiberg toteaa. Bulgarialaisilla ei kuitenkaan ole erityisasemaa suomalaisten mielissä. Väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan Suomen ja Bulgarian välisten kulttuuri- ja kirjallisuussuhteiden syntymistä ja kehitystä sekä tutkitaan kanssakäymisen erityispiirteitä vertailevan kirjallisuustieteen ja kulttuurintutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Siibergin esittämä malli Suomen kansallismyytin syntymis…

Physical activity and exercise in mild cognitive impairment and dementia::an umbrella review of intervention and observational studies

2020

Objectives:\ud \ud The aim of this umbrella review was to determine the effect of physical activity/exercise on improving cognitive and noncognitive outcomes in people with MCI (mild cognitive impairment) and dementia.\ud \ud Design:\ud \ud Umbrella review of systematic reviews (SR), with or without meta-analyses (MAs), of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies.\ud \ud Settings and Participants:\ud \ud People with MCI or dementia, confirmed through validated assessment measures. Any form of physical activity/exercise was included. As controls, we included participants not following any prespecified physical activity/exercise intervention or following the same standard…

Stalin’s critique of the idea of the class character of language

2020

Shedding light on the different Soviet linguistic approaches to the phenomenon of the class character of language, this paper shows that Stalin’s 1950 critique of Nikolaj Marr’s views echoed criticism that had already been addressed to Marr by his contemporaries. The idea of the class character of language did not amount to a single coherent theory, in Soviet linguistics, of social and linguistic structures, but in many cases remained an abstract theoretical construct. Even if some linguists manifestly subscribed to the Marrist dogma, it did not immediately follow that the idea of the class character of language had exerted significant influence on the actual analysis of language material. …
