mask on the affected resident. Isolation is likely most important and should be done promptly, as the stakes are high. We know that there are atypical presentations to this infection in older people, and a cough even without fever should raise suspicion. 8 Every attempt should be made to accommodate these residents in a different area of your facility. If your facility is unable to physically isolate, it may be appropriate, whenever possible, to request that residents and patients wear masks or facial coverings. 9 If testing is limited, consider coordinating with your laboratory to safely arrange pooling samples by using one assay for multiple people to identify that your facility has COVID-19 circulating. 10 For example, use one assay to test four people. If the test returns negative, you can be reassured. If it returns positive, likely further testing and aggressive isolation would be necessary.If testing is more readily available than PPE, testing of residents and staff should be done as frequently as possible, ideally every week. If you can establish through testing and isolation a COVID-19 free facility, staff testing may be more important that resident testing. Recommendations for isolating should also include, wherever possible, partnering with neighboring LTCFs to cohort confirmed patients. COVID-19-specific units can be set up, which would minimize rotating staff, reduce training time and allow for limited reuse of face shields, gowns, and other equipment.In summary, in these fast-changing circumstances, the authors would like to stress that in the absence of treatment, isolation should be the fundamental guiding principal and that whatever tools are available to a LTCF to achieve that may be variable and should be optimized to that end.

Sixteen studies were excluded from the present systematic review because they did not use mobile applications to train cognitive functions [20,43,[52][53][54][55][56][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51].…”

BackgroundBreast cancer is an invalidating disease and, in particular, its treatment can bring serious side effects that have a physical and psychological impact as well. Specifically, cancer's treatment generally has a strong impact on cognitive function. In the last years, new technologies and eHealth had proved to have a growing influence on health care and innovative mobile applications can be a useful tool to deliver cognitive exercise in the patient's home.

Introduction Worldwide, life expectancy, and aging‐related disorders as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are increasing, having a rising impact on patients' quality of life and caregivers' distress. Telemedicine offers many possibilities, such as remote diagnosing and monitoring of patients. Objective The purpose of this study is to provide a narrative synthesis of the literature about the implementation of telemedicine for diagnosis, treatment, and follow‐up of patients with AD and MCI and their caregivers. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted on MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases up to September 2018. MCI or AD diagnoses were the conditions of interest. We excluded other dementias. Results Fifty‐six articles met inclusion criteria. We identified two main categories: diagnosis group (DG) and follow‐up/interventional group (FIG). Fifteen articles suggested how to make a remote or earlier diagnosis: four were case‐control accuracy studies, nine were paired comparative accuracy studies, and two were prospective single‐arm accuracy studies. Among these, four focused on MCI, six on AD, and five on both. Forty one focused on supporting patients during the stages of the disease (28 articles), patient's caregivers (nine articles), or both (four articles). Conclusions The rising use of telemedicine could actively improve AD and MCI patients' lives, reduce caregivers' burden, and facilitate an early diagnosis if patients live in remote places. However, as some studies report, it is relevant to take into account the emotional impact of telemedicine on patients and not only on the effectiveness.
