Ambulatory assisted living fallers at greatest risk for head injury
No full textOBJECTIVES: To determine the relationship between head injuries sustained during each fall with various known high risk health and demographic factors predictive of falls.
DESIGN: Prospective cohort study conducted over 1 year
SETTING: Assisted living and skilled nursing units of a Continuing Care Retirement Community located in the northeastern United States.
PARTICIPANTS: Sixty nine OAs who fell.
MEASUREMENTS: Age, gender, diagnosis, high risk medication, functional, cognitive, ambulation/elimination status, mode of locomotion, fall related symptoms and the position of the fall, were analyzed using General Estimating Equations among elderly fallers with and without head injury.
RESULTS: A total of 173 falls (average of 2.9 times) were observed for 62 patients who had complete injury data. Injuries were recorded in 40.5% of falls, with 41.4% being head injuries. Head injuries were more likely to be hematomas than lacerations (66.7% vs. 14.7%) and among assisted living residents (p=0.04). Head injured patients were more likely to be walking at the time of the fall (69% vs. 36.1%) and less likely to have bowel incontinence (3.5% vs. 28.5%; p=0.04). None of the high risk diagnosis or medications associated with falls risk increased risk for head injury.
CONCLUSION: Those at greatest risk for head injury were ambulatory assisted living residents. None of the known clinical conditions predictive of risk to fall were predictive of head injury. For head injury prevention to be successful we need a closer examination of resident’s mobility, shoe-wear, health behavior with respect to ability to use assistive devices, and floor surface landing area. Future health policy implications include measures to ensure standard of care practices for head injured patients are in place.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Gray-Miceli, D.

The Carbon Positive City: Building in the Bio-Economy
No full textPresented on November 7, 2018 from 4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. in the Reinsch-Pierce Family Auditorium, Architecture East Building, College of Design at Georgia Tech.Portman Prize Studio Critic Lecture - The purpose of the Portman Prize and the Portman Visiting Critic Program is to foster design excellence and student creativity in the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech. Recognizing student accomplishment and excellence in the integration of technical considerations as a key constituent of the design process the Portman Prize. It is awarded through competition by a distinguished jury chaired by the Portman Visiting Critic who also participates over the semester as a roving design studio critic and public lecturer.2019 Portman Visiting Critic Alan Organschi is the design principal and a partner at Gray Organschi Architecture, in New Haven, Connecticut, a firm recognized at the local, regional, and national level for its innovative conception and careful crafting of architectural projects that range from the adaptive re-use of damaged buildings and neighborhoods to the development and implementation of low-impact component assembly systems for ecologically delicate sites.Runtime: 101:04 minutesThe contemporary mid- and high-rise city is constructed with mineral-based materials that are
extracted, smelted, sintered, or synthesized through intensive fossil-energy fueled industrial
processes with significant environmental footprints. Regional as well as global trends in urban
growth suggest that the demand for these materials and processes will rise sharply over the next
30 – 50 years, setting the stage for a significant spike in greenhouse gas emissions associated
with the construction of new buildings and infrastructure. Potential ecological and economic
synergies between an enormous southeastern continental woodshed and the rapidly urbanizing
landscapes that line the eastern seaboard of the United States offer a promising alternative: the
transformation of dense urban centers into massive carbon sinks that serve to mitigate—rather than simply adapt to—rapid climate change. The broad implementation of emerging mass
timber structural technologies and the regulatory and economic policies that promote both biobased
urban building and sustainable forest management will challenge the conventions of the
building sector but offer a wealth of opportunity to the planners, engineers and architects who
seek to reshape it
Teaching Strategies for Atypical Presentation of Illness in Older Adults
No full textAtypical presentation of illness is one of those phenomena where “seeing is believing”. Expert geriatric nurses and clinicians know all to well the early signs and symptoms of this frequent masquerader of bacterial infections, pain, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure or other serious medical ailments in older adults. Students however, as novices to clinical practice, require interactive learning approaches to reflect on the client’s illness presentations, help with developing the necessary skills to analyze and synthesize clinically relevant data, and to witness resolution of an atypical presentation when found and treated. We discuss various learner-centered, interactive approaches to teach students how to recognize an atypical presentation of illness using a real-life clinical case. Outlined are teaching strategies for faculty, drawn on visual, auditory, reading and kinesthetic modes of student learning. Use of the senses to teach nurses about care of patient’s is not entirely new or innovative, as reflected on by Florence Nightingale’s (1846) earliest writings of the "rules of nursing".Peer reviewe
