Through this ethnographic analysis, I call attention to the significance of cultural contexts in the design and implementation of dementia-friendly projects globally.Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissues occupying a large proportion of hospital beds. This study was conducted for analysis of patients with cellulitis according to their demographics and clinical presentation and to examine their comorbidities, complications, and its management. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Surgery at Santosh Medical College and Hospitals involving a total of 60 cases having cellulitis and other soft tissue infections of lower limb. Analysis of their demographic profile, management, and complications was done. Cellulitis is seen commonly in males, 46 (76.6%). The mean age of patients affected by cellulitis in the study was 36.4 ± 1.23 years. The most common site affected is leg involving more people in field jobs. The most common risk factor was trauma in 46.6%, and other factors were diabetes mellitus and smoking, while abscess formation was the most common complication observed in 36.6% of cases. A total of 56.6% cases were managed conservatively, while 43.3% cases required surgical intervention. Mean hospital stay in this study was 5.02 ± 0.23 days. It was concluded that cellulitis is subcutaneous, spreading bacterial infection is more common in males, and its incidence is highest in working age group population. Lower limb is commonly involved. Trauma, smoking, and diabetes are significant risk factors for development of cellulitis. Abscess is the most common complication. About 50% patients with cellulitis can be managed conservatively and the rest require surgical intervention.Dementia has become a major public health concern globally. With no cure available and strong evidence for modifiable risk factors, it is imperative that the public are knowledgeable about dementia and to reduce their risk. The aim of this study was to measure the knowledge of dementia and its risk factors in the Australian public, as well as the number and type of information sources used. An online survey promoted through various social media platforms was completed by 596 Australian adults aged 18-78 years (59% aged 18-44 years; 78% female). Eighty-eight percent of respondents were able to recognise dementia from a vignette, more so from a moderate than from a mild symptom vignette. Only 19% of respondents had a good understanding of dementia, that is describing impairment in both cognition and function. Ninety-five percent of respondents recognised that genetics and old age contributed to a person getting dementia. However, respondents had poor knowledge of empirically supported modifiable risk factors, with most viewed as likely contributors to dementia at chance levels (50%) or below. Respondents reported using informal information sources more often than formal information sources to learn about dementia. The public appear to be able to recognise the symptoms of dementia but lack understanding of how dementia impacts both a person's cognitive functioning and ability to perform everyday tasks. Furthermore, the public remain largely unaware of empirically supported modifiable risk factors that contribute to the development of dementia. It is imperative that the public are educated on how to access and evaluate dementia-related information sources in order to increase their knowledge and understanding of dementia.<br /><br /> Research suggests there is a lack of post-diagnostic support to enable people living with dementia to fulfil social and active lives throughout their dementia journey. Gardening has been found to have many benefits for people living with dementia. Although such research is important, most research frames people with dementia as passive recipients of stimulation. Research into the impact of a community-based gardening group, where people living with dementia are active in the development of an outdoor space, is underdeveloped. Knowledge about the impact of participating in such groups is also sparse. The Good Life Club (GLC) was co-developed and evaluated to respond to these gaps.<br /><br /> The primary aim of this article is to present the findings regarding the impact of attending the GLC on the self-reported well-being for people living with dementia and care partners.<br /><br /> Qualitative data were collected via 22 semi-structured interviews.

Theoup that is relaxed, full of humour and highly valued.<br /><br /> Frequent external interruptions and lack of collaboration among team members are known to be common barriers in end-of-shift handoffs between physicians in the emergency department. In spite of being the primary location for this crucial and cognitively demanding task, workstations are not designed to limit barriers and support handoffs.<br /><br /> The purpose of this study is to examine handoff characteristics, actual and perceived interruptions, and perceived collaboration among emergency physicians performing end-of-shift handoffs in physician workstations with varying levels of enclosures-(a) open-plan workstation, (b) enclosed workstation, and (c) semi-open workstation.<br /><br /> Handoff and interruption characteristics were captured through in-person observations of 60 handoffs using an iPad-based tool. Additionally, physicians participating in the handoffs responded to a survey pertaining to their perception of interruptions and collaboration with clinicians during each phase. Other organizational and demographic data were obtained from the hospital database, surveys, and observations.<br /><br /> Physicians working in the open workstation experienced a significantly higher number of interruptions/hour (18.08 int/hr) as compared to the semi-open (13.62 int/hr) and enclosed workstations (11.41 int/hr). Most physicians perceived that they were interrupted in the semi-open and open workstations. In addition, majority of physicians in the enclosed pod perceived high collaboration with clinicians involved in and present in the workstation during handoff.<br /><br /> This correlational study showed positive outcomes experienced by physician working in the enclosed workstation as compared to the open and semi-open workstations.<br /><br />This correlational study showed positive outcomes experienced by physician working in the enclosed workstation as compared to the open and semi-open workstations.
