535 community-dwelling Singaporeans were recruited (21-90 years old, 57.9% women), filling quotas of 20-40 participants in each sex- and age-group.
We took measurements of height, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, body fat, muscle mass, muscle strength, and functional assessments. Questionnaire-based physical and cognitive factors were also assessed.
Overall prevalence of SO was 7.6% (WC-based), 5.1% (PBF-based), 2.7% (FMI-based), 1.5% (FM/FFM-based), and 0.4% (BMI-based). SO was significantly associated with SPPB only in the FMI model (p<0.05), and total variance explained by the different regression models was highest for the FMI model.
Our findings suggest FMI as the most preferred measure for obesity and support its use as a diagnostic criteria for SO.

Geroscience explores biological mechanisms of aging as targets for intervention that may delay the physiological consequences of aging, maintain function, and prevent frailty and disability. Priorities for clinical practice and research include identifying and validating a range of biomarkers of the hallmarks of aging. Potential biomarkers discussed included markers of mitochondrial dysfunction, proteostasis, stem cell dysfunction, nutrient sensing, genomic instability, telomere dysfunction, cellular senescence, and epigenetic changes. The FRAILOMICS initiative is exploring many of these through various omics studies. Translating this knowledge into new therapies is being addressed by the U.S. National Institute on Aging Translational Gerontology Branch. Research gaps identified by the Task Force include the need for improved cellular and animal models as well as more reliable and sensitive measures.We study a five-parameter model called the Weibull Burr XII (WBXII) distribution, which extends several models, including new ones. This model is quite flexible in terms of the hazard function, which exhibits increasing, decreasing, upside-down bathtub, and bathtub shapes. Its density function allows different forms such as left-skewed, right-skewed, reversed-J, and bimodal. We aim to provide some general mathematical quantities for the proposed distribution, which can be useful to real data analysis. We develop a shiny application to provide interactive illustrations of the WBXII density and hazard functions. We estimate the model parameters using maximum likelihood and derive a profile log-likelihood for all members of the Weibull-G family. The survival analysis application reveals that the WBXII model is suitable to accommodate left-skewed tails, which are very common when the variable of interest is the time to failure of a product. The income application is related to player salaries within a professional sports league and it is peculiar because the mean of the player's salaries is much higher than for most professions. Both applications illustrate that the new distribution provides much better fits than other models with the same and less number of parameters.
to describe the development of a website about the main healthcare-associated infections and the respective bundles to prevent these diseases, oriented toward intensive care unit nursing.
experience report describing the development of technological innovation by nurses, using computational tools and technological production methodological research and following the product development process.
nurses developed an educational website which can be accessed through computers, tablets, and smartphones at the electronic address irastis.com and focuses on healthcare-associated infections.
digital technologies have contributed to fulfill demands in health care, research, and education. The developed website has the potential to support reduction in healthcare-associated infection rates, since it makes preventive measures for these infections available and refers users to publication environments that systematize the implementation of the bundles.

to know the contributions of nursing in the implementation of the quality management principle of the accreditation program in imaging diagnosis.
a single, qualitative case study carried out in an accredited radiology and imaging diagnosis service. The data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentary analysis with the support of software in organizing the data for analysis.
a total of four thematic units emerged the accreditation process in imaging services, the implementation of the program, the role of nursing in imaging services and patient safety and the management of non-conformities in imaging services. Of the other data sources, the word risk was highlighted and a non-conformity was evidenced in the external audit.
nursing contributed mainly to the management of the risks involved in the performance of imaging and patient safety tests, requirements of the quality management principle of the accreditation program.

Description and discussion dimensions of Integrated Care Model.
A descriptive study is done that describe a technological innovation, intervention strategies for professional performance.
Integrated Care Model (ICM) has two main categories include individual and Group-and disease-specific Model. First, is used for risky patients or with comorbidities. In second category; Chronic Care Model (CCM) is common form of Integrated Care Model to improve resultants in the patients with chronic condition, to move from acute care to integrate, regular, long-lasting, preventative and community-based nursing.
It is important to consider patient as an active member of the treatment team. It seems to be essential to monitor performance of care system. Prograf On the other hand, offer multidisciplinary care leads to present desirable care, tailored to the specific needs of patients regarding safety, patient-centered care and their culture.
