摘要:

The numbers of T, B, and ‘null’ blood lymphocytes were determined in 216 normal healthy persons, whose ages ranged from 20 to 94 years. No change was found in the numbers of T or B lymphocytes with increasing age of the subjects, whereas both the total lymphocytes and the number of ‘null’ lymphocytes decreased just significantly with age (p < 0.05). The response of blood lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin in vitro was measured in 25 subjects aged 20–30 years and compared with the response in 23 subjects aged over 60 years. There was no significant difference in the response of the t

摘要:

This paper examines the significance of age as a criterion to be used when assessing the suitability of a person for total hip replacement. In a group of 49 patients undergoing total hip replacement, those aged 70 years or over did not benefit significantly less than younger patients in terms of pain relief, improved range of motion in the joint, improved mobility, or in regaining independence in the activities of daily life. Despite having more complications than the younger patients, and requiring on average longer hospital stays, it is argued that age should not be a major consideration when assessing a patient for total hip replacement.

摘要:

The age distribution, clinical presentation and management arrangement of 100 successive domiciliary visits to patients seen following requests for in-patient admission, by their general practitioners are presented. Although 24 patients could be primarily regarded as being social cases, there exists an urgent need to improve facilities for both acute assessment and long-stay geriatric admissions in Reykjavik.

摘要:

This report concerns two groups of elderly patients, one active and the other inactive with cardiovascular histories. Cutaneous and plasma cholesterol (Ch) and the lipoprotein fractions were analyzed in each group and compared with those of a young group. The cutaneous histological ageing type was studied in the three groups. No histological difference was seen to exist between the two elderly populations (skin type II), the young group had normal type 0 skin. A significant difference was seen to exist between the levels of cutaneous Ch of the two elderly groups and that of the young group. Changes in the cutaneous Ch with respect to the ratio (total Ch/HDL Ch) were found to differ in the two elderly groups: the active elderly patients presented a positive correlation as did the young subjects but the inactive patients showed a negative correlation.
