“…(19) As condutas apresentadas pelos homens idosos da pesquisa refletem a forte influência dos estereótipos de gênero enraizados na sociedade patriarcal, os quais direcionam o entendimento masculino de que o adoecimento e o sentimento de dor não devem ser externalizados, uma vez que representam sinais de fraqueza e fragilidade, características incompatíveis com a figura hegemônica do homem forte e invulnerável. (20) É justamente pelo predomínio de concepções como essas que, geralmente, os homens são mais acometidos por condições severas de saúde e morrem mais do que as mulheres pelas principais causas de morte, uma vez que não utilizam os serviços de atenção básica, adentrando ao sistema de saúde pela atenção especializada, geralmente, com um problema grave de saúde já instalado. (11) Dados epidemiológicos corroboram tais achados à medida que associam a busca masculina ao serviço de alta complexidade, muitas vezes, pela necessidade de acesso à hemodinâmica para cateterismo, colocação de stents e revascularização do miocárdio, procedimentos que exercem significativo impacto financeiro aos serviços públicos de saúde.…”

“…The chapter proceeds with a brief presentation of autoethnography, a controversial method (Langdridge, 2016) due to its subjectivity, accusations of being anecdotal, and its occasionally unconventional forms. I then present a narrative of our experiences from the period when the stroke occurred until today, and discuss themes that have become vital in our experiences, including the important role of ICT in modern societies and in relationships across geographical distances.…”

Hit by a Stroke: An Autoethnographic Analysis of Intergenerational Care Across Geographical Distances

Increased geographical mobility, improved medical treatment, and prolonged life expectancy have changed the way of life for older persons and their next of kin. This chapter discusses intergenerational care, mainly from the next of kin's point of view, when an older family member and the next of kin live far from each other. The study is based on my-the author's-autoethnographic account of the experience after my father suffered a stroke a few years ago. Inspired by Ellis et al. (2011, p. 392), who stated that autoethnography may 'analyse personal experience in order to understand cultural experience', I use my father's and my own experiences to analyse how geographical distance and serious illness impact intergenerational care and kinship. While I argue that intergenerational care across geographical distance creates certain vulnerabilities, this specific situation also enables and enacts kinship relations. The study focused on practical support, emotional relations, and communication technologies, and their limitations when illness hits and life changes. It also adds to our understanding of aging, illness, and care across vast geographical distances. I claim that the autoethnographic approach accommodates the subjectivity, emotions and first-hand experiences between the older person and the next of kin. This geography of intergenerational care provides new knowledge about an experience, influencing the later years, for an increasing number of individuals and serviceproviding municipalities, especially in regions marked by outmigration and high youth mobility. Vignette A week before our three-generation family group should leave for the long-planned pilgrimage hike in Spain, I received the alarming phone call. My father, the 'caring hub' of the family, was hit by a sudden and severe stroke. I went cold and numb, hurried into my office, called my husband, booked my flights, called for a taxi, left work, picked up some luggage at home, and went to the airport. During the two flights,my mind was racing with questions: How was he, would we lose him now, how would he become, who would visit and take responsibility for my chronically disabled mother now? A few hours later, my sister, who had arrived on an earlier plane, picked me up from the airport in our hometown and with tears in our eyes, we hugged and drove directly to the hospital. During the 10-minute drive, she updated me: he was conscious. He was not paralysed but had only said a few words. Through tears, we laughed: all the thoughts he tried to formulate transformed into the same words: 'the company'. He obviously experienced aphasia. Arriving at the familiar small-town hospital, we went straight to the four-bed room. Dad looked tiny in the bed, as if he had shrunk. He was pale, and there was an 'emptiness' on his face. His features were childlike in the way he was sitting on the edge of the bed in the hospital pyjamas, his feet not reaching the floor. Yet, despite lacking words and experiencing aphasia, he was also clearly himself. He was vulnerable, ill, a...

“…Young age, heart murmur, history of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shock and generalized anxiety all point to greater anxiety after cardiac arrest and may well be predictive for people who have had a heart attack without arrest. Problems arise not only from the onset of depression and anxiety for cardiac patients but also predict poorer recovery and a higher long term risk for complications [22]. Factors other than chest pain can predict a heart attack before it occurs.…”

“…Health care organizations, insurance agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and providers are now struggling to form new techno scientific innovations and organizational methods to meet their ever-growing needs. There has been a tremendous growth of the techno scientific nature of biomedicine in recent years, primarily due to three overlapping areas: computerization and data banking; molecularization and genericization of biomedicine and drug design; and medical technology, design, development and distribution [22]. Numerous medical characteristics combined with big data analysis based on the medical diagnostics of multiple fields rather than just by an individual provider relying on each patient's medical information [23].…”

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) is one of the deadliest diseases patients face. The key to cardiovascular disease management is to evaluate large scores of datasets, compare and mine for information that can be used to predict, prevent, manage and treat chronic diseases such as heart attacks. Big Data analytics, known in the corporate world for its valuable use in controlling, contrasting and managing large datasets can be applied with much success to the prediction, prevention, management and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Data mining, visualization and Hadoop are technologies or tools of big data in mining the voluminous datasets for information.
