background: falling has a great importance among the elderlies. even if no physical injury occurs, it can cause fear of fallingdown again and, consequently, reduce older adults’ activities. with regard to the prevalence of falling among older adults, its prevention is essential. therefore, the present study was aimed to define the effect of need-based education on prevention of older adults’ fa...

To identify fall risks in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the authors reviewed retrospective data on inpatients from April 2010 to March 2011. Among 77 HSCT patient records reviewed, the authors found that 35 patients had experienced at least one fall, including near-miss episodes (fallers). The main location of the falls was a corridor, and the main activity...

Simulation of fall can predict the fall direction, impact load and location. This is effective measure for preventing falls in the elderly. Also, the 3D-finite element analysis used in measuring by micro CT, allows one to estimate bone strength and quality without numerous and expensive fracture testing of real human bones.

Abstract Monitoring tool for patients at risk of dementia has been made using an IMU sensor with Location Notification System. The aim this research is to design and manufacture a the identify determine characteristics person’s condition in falling dementia. method starts from making prototypes, measuring system performance. results measurement performance are shown by readings average x angle ...

AimFalls in hospital as a major cause of disability and death threaten patients’ safety quality life. We studied fall incidence hospital, predicted its risk factors using weighted Poisson (WP) model versus other models.MethodThis cross-sectional study was performed on the patients referred to two central hospitals Qazvin, Iran between 2017 2019. The data were collected Morse scale reporting for...

In the case of old people living alone at home or in care centres, falls represent the most important cause of accidents. To reduce the impact of a fall event, fall detectors have been developed, which are supposed to automatically detect a fall event when it occurs and to send an alarm to a care central in a short period of time. Within the existing projects are especially interesting the auto...

The potential of large scale Yb-loaded liquid scintillators as proposed for solar neutrino spectroscopy are investigated with respect to double beta decay. The potential for β−β− decay of Y b as well as the β/EC decay for Y b is discussed. Not only getting for the first time an experimental half-life limit on Y b decay, this will even be at least comparable or better than existing ones from dif...
