概括
双侧神经感官听力损失 (BHL) 的老年人表现出更高的跌倒风险,在仪器定时上升和移动测试 (iTUG) 的特定任务中表现得更慢. 这突显了BHL的潜在注意力能力问题.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 听力学 听力学是指听力学.
- 生物力学 生物力学
背景情况:
- 双边感应神经听力损失 (BHL) 在老年人中很普遍,可能会影响平衡和移动性.
- 仪器化定时起飞和起飞 (iTUG) 测试是传统的TUG的增强,为跌倒风险评估提供了敏感的子组件分析.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较患有BHL的老年人与使用单任务 (ST) 和双任务 (DT) iTUG表现的正常听力对照的跌倒风险.
- 在双重任务期间识别受BHL影响的特定iTUG子组件.
主要方法:
- 35名老年人 (20名BHL患者,15名对照患者) 接受了听力测试和查混情况.
- 参与者在ST和DT (序列减法) 条件下完成了iTUG,收集了总持续时间和子组件性能数据.
主要成果:
- 在ST或DT条件下,BHL和对照组之间没有发现iTUG总持续时间的显著差异.
- 在ST和DT条件下,在坐到站的阶段,BHL参与者在ST和DT条件下显著减速.
- 一个显著的相互作用显示,与对照组相比,BHL组在DT条件下站着坐着的阶段显著更慢.
结论:
- 患有BHL的老年人表现出特定iTUG子组件的性能受损,特别是在双重任务期间.
- 在BHL患者的最后iTUG阶段表现较慢可能表明注意力能力下降.
- 建议对BHL的放大和听力训练等干预措施进行进一步的研究,以减轻跌倒风险.

01:15Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
01:27Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...
