“…378 However, surgical treatment appears as a reasonable option in the elderly, with the same indications as for younger patients. 379 Part 6. Infective endocarditis during pregnancy A challenge for the physician during pregnancy in the cardiac patient is the changing cardiovascular physiology which can mimic cardiac disease and confuse the clinical picture.…”

Humanoid robots are expected to work in the human environment due to their similarity to the human shape, and they are required to achieve localization and navigation autonomously. In this paper, indoor navigation is realized based on a view-based approach using a camera mounted on the head. In the case of a humanoid robot, image blur and swing due to walking is a crucial issue for image matching during localization. The quantitative effect of walking on the image is firstly investigated by utilizing a motion capture system. Then a method to generate a stable view sequence is proposed based on the detection of optical flows. The navigation function with the proposed method was implemented on a humanoid robot HRP-2, and the effectiveness was confirmed by indoor walking experiments.

“…It is reported in the literature that the diagnostic sensitivity of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the elderly is too low because of fewer and smaller vegetations, more calcific and prosthetic valves and general factors confounding echogenecity such as obesity, chronic pulmonary disease and Infective endocarditis in the older adult -Review chest wall deformities. Several centers reported improved diagnostic accuracy and outcome in elderly with the use of TEE and echocardiographic criteria as entered in the modified Duke criteria [15,29]. Vascular and immune-related symptoms remain less prevalent in elderly patients during the treatment phase.…”

The incidence of infective endocarditis is rising in all age groups, but the largest relative increase takes place in elderly adults over 70 years of age, a subgroup that is becoming a substantial part of the general population. Elderly infective endocarditis patients require adapted care owing to their specific profile, which influences the interval between symptom onset and diagnosis, type of microorganism, complications and therapeutic decision making, all factors that have a significant impact on outcome. In this article, we provide a summary of the important caveats in the management of elderly infective endocarditis patients known to date, and indicate topics that require further investigation.

“…О взаимосвязи возраста и эмболических осложнений при ИЭ имеются противоречивые данные. Одни исследо-ватели отметили более высокую частоту развития эмболических осложнений в группе пожилых по сравнению с молодыми пациентами [10], другие не выявили статистически значимых различий [9], а третьими установлено, что периферические эмболии у лиц преклонного возраста встречаются реже (14,3-29%), чем у молодых пациентов (26-49%) [14,15,32,33]. Снижение частоты развития тромбоэмболических осложнений у пожилых связывают с высокой частотой применения антиагрегантных и антикоагулянтных препаратов в связи с сопутствующими заболеваниями сердца и меньшими размерами вегетаций [33].…”

The review gives the current views of the etiology and risk factors of infective endocarditis (IE) in the elderly. It reports the specific clinical picture of the disease at this age, including clinically apparent syndromes, comorbidity, and various clinical signs and peculiarities of IE. Particular emphasis is placed on the diagnosis of an endocardial infectious lesion, which is based on the use of the modified Duke criteria. The methods of IE diagnosis, particularly microbiological examination, imaging techniques, among which echocardiography in different modes plays a particular role, are listed. The treatment of the disease is based on the latest recommendations for antibiotic therapy with and without regard to a specific etiological factor. The issues of surgical intervention, as well as approaches to preventing IE in elderly people are discussed.
