Overcoming barriers to physical activity among culturally and linguistically diverse older adults: A randomised controlled trialEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This study has highlighted methodological considerations for PA health promotion and research with older adults from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds in a community setting. Investigation of older CALD adults' perceptions of what are 'adequate levels of PA' and methods of increasing PA is warranted. (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing:)

Orthopaedic-geriatric models of care and their effectivenessEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Different types of orthopaedic geriatric units have been established. This review evaluates the effectiveness of this model of care. A computerised literature search was undertaken using Medline (1966[ndash]February 2009), Cochrane and CINAHL with the search terms orthopaedics, geriatrics, aged, orthopaedic procedures and fractures. Relevant articles were evaluated and appraised with particular focus on randomised controlled trials. Orthopaedic-geriatric models can be divided according to the setting of care (i) acute inpatient orthopaedic-geriatric care; (ii) subacute rehabilitation; and (iii) community-based rehabilitati...

Physical activity recommendations for older AustraliansEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Although the recommendations may be manifested in different ways, according to specific populations or settings, they apply to older people across all levels of health and have application to community dwelling people and those in residential care accommodation.

Carers' narratives: Finding dementia with Lewy bodies experiencesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article examines four carer narratives and their relevance to particular niche audiences; three classified from the information provided on their book covers as pertaining to Alzheimer's disease and one to Parkinson's disease. It explores the impact of care on the caregivers and reviews the promoted diagnoses in light of the current understanding of dementia with Lewy bodies. The author argues that the information provided in the titles, in good faith, may not reflect the content of the narratives and that three of these narratives may provide carers of people who have dementia with Lewy bodies with insights into the ...

Transitions from hospital to residential aged care in AustraliaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Individually, national hospital and aged care datasets do not provide adequate information on movement between the sectors. Linking the data allowed the first national investigation into movement from hospital into aged care. Results indicate the importance of investigating interactions of service provision (both supply and demand driven) at the local level. (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing:)

Review of non-convulsive status epilepticus and an illustrative case history manifesting as deliriumEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Non-convulsive status epilepticus can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The condition can be difficult to recognise, and can mimic delirium due to other underlying pathologies. There are several clinical subtypes, although these can be difficult to distinguish by their clinical features alone. Electroencephalogram is the key diagnostic tool to making the diagnosis, but this investigation is a limited resource in many institutions. In this review, we present a case of non-convulsive status epilepticus, manifesting as delirium, and then proceed to a literature review on this important diagnosis. (Source: Austral...

Recruiting older adults to health research studies: A systematic reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: For postal questionnaires, recruitment strategies used with older adults had comparable outcomes to those used to recruit from the general population. For other types of studies, strategies involving face-to-face contact may be more effective than indirect methods, but this needs to be balanced against feasibility. Overall, little evidence on the topic exists and more rigorous investigation is necessary. (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing:)

Future research on dementia relating to culturally and linguistically diverse communitiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
About one in five older Australians were born overseas. However, there has been very little information published in Australia or internationally about dementia in persons from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds. This limits our ability to plan for and provide evidence-based medical care, social care and aged care services to persons from CALD backgrounds. This paper describes challenges to conducting CALD dementia research; these include sampling, having valid instruments and costs. Nine key research recommendations in the areas of epidemiology, community knowledge, carers, service delivery, screenin...
