Abstract
Urinary tract infection at elderly are common among old age persons and often lead to acute illness in the elderly, generally affecting more women than men. Re-infections or relapses of UTIs are common [1]. Older adults at greater risk for getting an elderly urinary tract infection include: those who require a catheter in the urethra and bladder, diabetics, anyone with kidney stones, and women who have gone through menopause [2]. The recognized prevalence of UTI increases in both sexes with age; the female:male ratio is 2:1 in the elderly. UTI in older persons can be a complex problem in terms of the approach to Abstract
期刊介绍:
Computer Communication Review (CCR) is an online publication of the ACM Special Interest Group on Data Communication (SIGCOMM) and publishes articles on topics within the SIG''s field of interest. Technical papers accepted to CCR typically report on practical advances or the practical applications of theoretical advances. CCR serves as a forum for interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their development. The focus is on timely dissemination of new ideas that may help trigger additional investigations. While the innovation and timeliness are the major criteria for its acceptance, technical robustness and readability will also be considered in the review process. We particularly encourage papers with early evaluation or feasibility studies.
