“…The SMMSE scores range from 30 (unimpaired) to 0 (impaired). 13 It provides a global score of cognitive ability that correlates with function in activities of daily living. The SMMSE is a reliable instrument that allows practitioners to accurately measure cognitive deficits and deterioration over time.…”

Introduction: Regular toothbrushing (TB) has been shown to be related with better oral health. Studies have shown that various sociodemographic and clinical factors were related with regular TB in general population with normal renal function. However, no study had analyzed the factors related with regular TB in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: The laboratory parameters, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, sleep quality, and cognitive function were measured for all patients. Self-reported TB frequency was determined from all patients. Results: The frequency of patients TB were as follows: More than once a day (n ¼ 20), once a day (n ¼ 39), 2-5 times a week (n ¼ 7), at most once a week (n ¼ 16), at most once at 15 days (n ¼ 21), at most once a month (n ¼ 24), and never brushers (n ¼ 8). Patients were dichotomized mainly into two groups: Group 1 was composed of 59 patients with regular TB (sum of patients with TB more than once a day and once a day) and Group 2 was composed of other 76 patients with irregular TB. In most of the domains of short form 36 (SF-36), cognitive function was higher, whereas depressive symptoms were lower in Group 1 patients when compared with Group 2 patients. Backward logistic regression analysis demonstrated that lower depression scores, lower highsensitive C-reactive protein levels, higher cognitive function, and being middle school graduate or higher were independently related with regular TB. Conclusion: Regular TB is relatively low in HD patients. Preventive measures should be taken to improve regular TB in HD patients.

“…The reliability and validity of these clinical assessments have been established. [32][33][34] Seven patients with subcortical ischemic stroke participated in this study (4 men and 3 women; mean age, 59.2 Ϯ 7.9 years; 5 with right subcortical lesions and 2 with left subcortical lesions). The 7 subjects were all right-handed and right-footed before their stroke episode.…”

Objective-The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of mobility among long term care residents who use wheelchairs as their main means of mobility. Based on the Matching Person to Technology Model, we hypothesized that wheelchair-related, personal and environmental factors would be independent predictors of mobility.Design-Cross-sectional study. Setting-Eleven long term residential care facilities in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, CanadaParticipants-The study included 268 residents: 149 self-responding residents and 119 residents who required proxy respondents. Interventions-Not applicable.Main outcome measures-Mobility was measured using the Nursing Home Life Space Diameter. Standardized measures of personal, wheelchair-related and environmental factors were administered and socio-demographic data were collected as independent variables. Preliminary analyses of these data are part Dr. Mortenson's doctoral thesis. Financial disclosureWe certify that no party having a direct interest in the results of the research supporting this article has or will confer any benefit on us or on any organization with which we are associated. We certify that all financial and material support for this research are clearly identified in the title page of the manuscript. CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author Manuscript CIHR Author ManuscriptResults-Independent mobility decreased as the distance from the resident's room increased: 63% of participants were independently mobile on their units, 40% were independently mobile off their units within the facilities and 20% were independently mobile outdoors. For the total sample, the significant predictors of mobility, in descending order of importance, were wheelchair skills (including the capacity to engage brakes and manoeuvre), functional independence in activities of daily living, having four or more visits per week from friends or family and use of a power wheelchair. This regression model accounted for 48% of variance in mobility scores.Conclusions-Limited independent mobility is a common problem among facility residents. Residents may benefit from interventions such as wheelchair skills training or provision of powered mobility but the effectiveness of these interventions needs to be evaluated.
