Short-term geriatric assessment units: 30 years later
BACKGROUND The increasing number of hospitalized elderly persons has greatly challenged decision makers to reorganize services so as to meet the needs of this clientele. Established progressively over the last 30 years, the short-term Geriatric Assessment Unit (GAU) is a specialized care program, now implemented in all the general hospital centres in Quebec. Within the scope of a broader reflec...

متن کاملKNO scaling 30 years later
KNO scaling, i.e. the collapse of multiplicity distributions Pn onto a universal scaling curve manifests when Pn is expressed as the distribution of the standardized multiplicity (n− c)/λ with c and λ being location and scale parameters governed by leading particle effects and the growth of average multiplicity. At very high energies, strong violation of KNO scaling behavior is observed (pp̄) an...
متن کاملAdmission criteria in short-term geriatric assessment units: a Delphi study.
BACKGROUND In recent years, short-term geriatric care units that operate using an interdisciplinary approach have been established in Quebec and elsewhere, in order to provide frail elderly persons with better health care. The purpose of this study is to determine criteria that target the greatest number of individuals most likely to benefit from hospitalization in this type of care unit. MET...
متن کاملRhodopsin phosphorylation: 30 years later.
Phototransduction in vertebrate photoreceptor cells mediated by rhodopsin is one of the most comprehensively examined G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways. The signal transduction pathway can be mapped from the initial absorption of light to conformational changes within rhodopsin, through activation of the G protein transducin, and to the ultimate closure of the cation cGMP-gat...
