The RISTOMED project aims to develop an e-health service to promote healthy aging through nutrition. Initial qualitative results found that elderly patients reported improved mood and diet satisfaction. The project experienced delays to prioritize patient needs but was granted a six month extension. Healthy aging is a major issue as life expectancy rises but elderly often have poor diets and health. RISTOMED combines nutrition, technology and supplements to prevent aging diseases and improve living conditions.
This document describes a project to develop an ICF-based tool to assess the needs of inmates with developmental disabilities in New York correctional facilities. The project aims to enhance classification systems, refine services for this inmate group, and improve rehabilitation and release planning. Researchers created questionnaires to evaluate inmate support needs and success factors after release. They also developed an individual assessment checklist based on ICF domains to identify needed services and monitor inmate progress. Initial results from the group questionnaire showed high needs for education, employment supports, and life skills. Researchers will further test and refine the tools.
Facilitator Guide for Community-based Health and First Aid-Vol2Ochir Consulting Ltd
The goal of community-based health and first aid (CBHFA) is the creation of a healthy community. Growing a healthy community is a lifelong process, one that requires persistence and constant nurturing. Therefore, the CBHFA commitment is a long-term engagement.
CBHFA is an integrated community-based approach in which Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers work with their communities in disease prevention, health promotion, first aid and disaster preparedness and response. With this integrated approach, different aspects of vulnerability are identified and addressed. The community is at the centre of the process.
This Facilitator Guide is written for CBHFA in action facilitators. It is a resource to assist you in preparing CBHFA in action volunteers for the important work they will perform in their own communities.
1. The roles of patients are shifting from passive recipients of care to active participants and generators of health information due to new technologies and Web 2.0 platforms.
2. Patients now act as content providers by generating text, audio, video and sharing experiences online. They also take on roles as content reviewers, community builders, and advisers.
3. Personal health record managers allow patients to introduce their own health data and take more control over their care, but this shift also raises ethical, legal and privacy challenges that need to be addressed.
The document discusses hospital systems and their components. It defines a hospital as an institution that provides medical, surgical, and obstetric care to inpatients. A hospital system consists of coordinated activities from various staff using different skills and equipment to provide personalized care to patients. The system has external and internal inputs and processes them to achieve the goal of patient satisfaction and quality care.
This newsletter provides an overview of the RISTOMED project which aims to develop an e-service/platform to help elderly people achieve successful aging through a personalized dietary approach based on their health conditions. The project involves 8 partners across Europe, including research centers and SMEs specialized in aging and nutrition. The partners bring complementary expertise in areas like nutrition science, gut microbiota, malnutrition, and more. The goal is to study European eating habits and properties of three nutraceuticals to determine how they can benefit elderly health when added to specific diets.
The document summarizes the final conference for the RISTOMED project. It provides details on the program, including presentations from partners on their work and discussions on connecting nutrition and technology. Special guests included the Science and Technology Counselor for France and Jean-Pierre d'Estienne d'Orves, who spoke on "Food and Humanism". The conference aimed to present results of the two-year project studying dietary approaches for the elderly and inspire other stakeholders.

The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help drive improvements in healthcare quality and efficiency by enabling better care coordination, safer care through access to patient information and clinical guidelines, and more efficient chronic disease management. However, implementing ICTs in healthcare has proven difficult, with significant costs, delays, and failures experienced across OECD countries. The report analyzes case studies from several countries to identify conditions under which ICTs are most likely to achieve efficiency and quality gains in healthcare.

Critical apprisal of 2018 classification of periodontal disease yasmin parvin ss
The document provides a critical appraisal of the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases. It summarizes the key changes from the previous 1999 classification. The 2017 workshop with 130 experts from around the world developed the new classification framework based on new evidence from various studies. The new classification addresses some of the drawbacks of the previous system by introducing concepts such as periodontal health, risk factors, staging and grading of periodontitis, and inclusion of peri-implant diseases. While it provides several improvements, some experts note that the new classification is complex and may be difficult to implement in daily clinical practice. Future efforts are needed to disseminate and explain the new classification system.
The newsletter discusses the RISTOMED project which aims to understand different EU approaches to nutrition for the elderly. It notes that people are living longer, and health systems need to adapt.

The document discusses improving patient safety in intensive care medicine. It describes launching a major initiative through the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) to bring together representatives from critical care societies around the world. The goal is to pledge efforts to improving patient care and outcomes.

The initiative aims to raise awareness of patient safety and help transform daily practice to improve quality of care for all patients.
This document reports on a global survey of telemedicine conducted by the World Health Organization in 2009. It finds that telemedicine is being used around the world to support maternal and newborn health in developing countries like Mongolia. However, barriers like inadequate infrastructure and legal issues need to be addressed for telemedicine to reach its full potential. The literature review revealed opportunities for telemedicine to improve healthcare in rural areas, but also challenges in implementation and sustainability. Overall, telemedicine shows promise for expanding access to services, but developing countries must address barriers to realize its benefits.
The report provides an overview of telemedicine, which uses information and communication technologies to deliver health care services over distance. Telemedicine aims to increase access to care, especially for rural communities. While telemedicine originated in the late 19th century, recent advances in technologies have accelerated its development. The report discusses opportunities for developing countries and barriers to realizing telemedicine's potential. It also reviews literature on telemedicine applications and lessons learned.
To support the health sector in identifying and implementing a few strategic, do-able, evidence-based interventions to create demand for sexual and reproductive health services by adolescents who need them and to stimulate community acceptance and support for their provision, a global review of the evidence was compiled. Using a standard methodology, evidence from thirty studies was reviewed on interventions for generating demand through the provision of information, education and communication via several different channels.T

This document summarizes key technological innovations in gastrointestinal medicine, including high-resolution manometry and Bravo capsule pH monitoring. High-resolution manometry provides improved diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders over conventional manometry, with a diagnostic gain of 5-20%, and better characterization of achalasia subtypes. Bravo capsule pH monitoring provides a significant improvement over wired pH monitoring for gastroesophageal reflux diagnosis, with increased diagnostic yield due to less limited patient activity and longer recording periods up to 96 hours. Widespread adoption of these techniques is limited by their higher costs.
