“…Financial dependence on children, sex, and education were found to be associated with any mistreatment, while financial dependence was also a significant predictor of elder abuse. The results of our study are consistent with findings elsewhere that sex, lower education, and income dependency were demographic risk factors associated with elder abuse and neglect (Dong, Simon, & Gorbien, 2007). The overall prevalence of elder abuse as reported in this study is over 4% higher than that reported in an earlier study done in Iran (Karimi & Elahi, 2008), but it is comparable with the results of Chokkanathan and Lee (2006) who reported a 14% prevalence rate of elder mistreatment in Chennai, India.…”

“…Based on a well-characterized community-based cohort, clinical depression was significantly associated with elder abuse cases reported to APS [8]. In another clinical-based cohort studied by Dong et al [9], loneliness was also associated with an increased risk of elder abuse. …”

Elder abuse and psychological distress are both important geriatric syndromes and are independently associated with premature morbidity and mortality. Despite recent advances, there has been little systematic exploration of the association between elder abuse and psychological distress. This systematic review synthesizes the qualitative and quantitative studies on the relationship between elder abuse and psychological distress, namely psychological distress as a risk factor and/or a consequence of elder abuse. Moreover, through this review, future research directions for elder abuse and psychological distress and their implications for practice and policy to improve the health and aging of vulnerable populations are also highlighted.

“…After EBC collection, FENO levels were recorded with a chemiluminescence analyzer (Model LR2000, Logan Research, Rochester, UK) without wearing a nose clip by slow exhalation (5–6 liters/min) from total lung capacity for 20–30 s against a resistance (5 cm H 2 O) to prevent nasal contamination [15]. Three successive recordings were made and the mean of these values was used in all calculations.…”

Variability of Exhaled Breath Condensate pH in Lung Transplant Recipients

et al. 2007

Background: Measurement of pH in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) may represent a novel method for investigating airway pathology. Objectives: The aim of this longitudinal study was to assess the variability of EBC pH in stable lung transplant recipients (LTR). Methods: During routine clinical visits 74 EBC pH measurements were performed in 17 LTR. EBC pH was also measured in 19 healthy volunteers on four separate occasions. EBC pH was determined at standard CO₂ partial pressure by a blood gas analyzer. Results: Mean EBC pH in clinically stable LTR and in controls was similar (6.38 ± 0.09 vs. 6.44 ± 0.16; p =nonsignificant). Coefficient of variation for pH in LTR and controls was 2.1 and 2.3%, respectively. The limits of agreement for between-visit variability determined by the Bland-Altman test in LTR and healthy volunteers were also comparable (–0.29 and 0.46 vs. –0.53 and 0.44). Conclusions: Our data suggest that the variability of EBC pH in stable LTR is relatively small, and it is similar to that in healthy nontransplant subjects.
