Community & Environmental Health Faculty Publications
[First Paragraph] There is a considerable body of evidence that suggests poor ambient air quality contributes to increased mortality and morbidity. 1,2,3,4,5 The impact of ambient air quality on different segments of the general population, including children and among the elderly has also been investigated.6,7,8,9 In light of the well documented public health significance of air pollution, it is imperative that investigators continue to evaluate details regarding the impact of poor air quality. In particular, it is interesting to note that some research has indicated an increased risk of the young and the elderly being admitted to the hospital …

Minnesota State University - Mankato
Behavioral Implications Of A Cognitive Training Program For Individuals With Moderate Cognitive Impariment, Joseph L.D. Kennedy
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive training program on behavioral outcomes for individuals with moderate cognitive impairment. A total of twenty participants were randomized into either a waitlist control or an experimental group. Collateral individuals familiar with each participant completed a series of measures of behavioral and emotional functioning at both pre- and post-intervention. Results demonstrated little effectiveness for the cognitive training program in stabilizing or improving behavioral functioning. Limitations and future directions are then provided to enhance future research in this area.

The Role Of Occupational Therapy In Primary Care, Priti Patel
Occupational Therapy Doctorate Capstone Projects
The Capstone Project is focused on communicating, influencing and educating other health care professionals regarding the role of occupational therapy in the future model of primary care delivery initiated by the adoption of the Affordable Care Act and the Triple Aim Initiative. Currently, primary care, the largest health care platform in United States, is not inclusive of occupational therapy services. Occupational therapists have the scope, knowledge and understanding to be part of the redesigned team model of primary care. Educating those currently working in primary care about adding occupational therapy services can have a significant impact on the profession of …

The Effect Of Inpatient Palliative Care Consultations On Hospital Readmission Rates For Those With Alzheimer's Disease, Cynthia Lynn Smoak
MUSC Theses and Dissertations
Background: Evidence suggests that inpatient palliative care consultation (IPC) services improve the likelihood of fewer hospital readmissions for those with Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Objective: This study examines the difference in readmission rates for Alzheimer's patients with and without inpatient palliative care consultations. Design: This is a retrospective data analysis using an inception cohort derived from HCUP archival data from the state of Florida for the year 2012: Only acute care patients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or dementia who were hospitalized for either the dementia condition or because of acute urinary tract infection (UTI), pneumonia, congestive heart failure …

Discrimination Of Mild Cognitive Impairment And Alzheimer's Disease Using Transfer Entropy Measures Of Scalp Eeg, Joseph Mcbride, Xiaopeng Zhao, Nancy Munro, Gregory Jicha, Charles Smith, Yang Jiang
Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Faculty Publications
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a neurological condition related to early stages of dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study investigates the potential of measures of transfer entropy in scalp EEG for effectively discriminating between normal aging, MCI, and AD participants. Resting EEG records from 48 age-matched participants (mean age 75.7 years)-15 normal controls, 16 MCI, and 17 early AD-are examined. The mean temporal delays corresponding to peaks in inter-regional transfer entropy are computed and used as features to discriminate between the three groups of participants. Three-way classification schemes based on binary support vector machine models demonstrate overall discrimination accuracies …
