In Korea, no studies have compared these elderly patients with younger patients. Methods: This study is based on patients who were diagnosed as having rib fracture at the Emergency Department of the Seoul Medical Center from March 2013 to April 2011. The medical records and radiological examinations of 192 cases were reviewed. Two groups were created-older than 65 years and younger than 64 years. Comparisons were made between the two groups including place of injury, time of injury, associated injuries, and the final result in the Emergency Department. Results: The final patient sample size was 192. The elderly group had 142 patients with the average age being 48.77± 9.70 years and 75.4% males. The young group had 50 patients with the average age at 75.90±7.21 years and 25% males. The most common place of injury was road (p=0.007) in the young group and home (p=0.002) in the elderly group. The most common mechanisms of injury were slipping (47.4%), traffic accidents (18.2%), falling (14.1%), and assault (9.4%). Falling was more prevalent in the young group than in the elderly group (p=0.011). Rib fractures occurred at night (p<0.001), on Saturdays, on Sundays, and in the winter in the young group and in the morning(p =0.002), on Mondays, on Fridays, and in the winter in the elderly group. Associated injuries, in descending order, were chest, limb, head, and spine. Conclusion: This study found that several selected factors of an injury-place, mechanism, time, and associated injuries, differ by age.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133158014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was aimed to investigate the etiologies and underlying diseases of leg edema in elderly patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 247 patients aged over 65, who visited an Emergency Department of a tertiary hospital due to leg edema from January 2010 to December 2012. Results: A total of 226 patients with complete medical records were included. The most common cause of leg edema in elderly patients was renal failure (42 cases, 18.6%), followed by heart failure (37 cases, 16.4%), and deep vein thrombosis (32 cases, 14.2%). However, the etiologies were not established in 66 cases (29.2%). Patients with leg edema caused by renal and heart failure had renal (40 cases, 95.2%) and cardiovascular diseases (29 cases, 78.4%), respectively, while others had diabetes mellitus and trauma. Patients with leg edema caused by deep vein thrombosis had underlying conditions such as cancer (13 cases, 40.6%), trauma, surgery within 1 year, and diabetes mellitus. Overall, chronic bilateral edema (120 cases, 53.1%) was most commonly observed form of leg edema in elderly patients. Deep vein thrombosis, cellulitis, and lymphedema usually caused unilateral edema, whereas systemic diseases such as renal failure, heart failure, and liver cirrhosis caused bilateral edema. Conclusion: Leg edema in elderly patients is usually caused by systemic diseases such as renal and heart failure closely related to underlying diseases. Therefore, it is important to consider the variety of underlying diseases, when approaching the cause and treatment of leg edema in elderly patients.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127858059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both colo-ovarian fistula and tuboovarian abscess formation, as complications of diverticulitis, are rare. Here, we report a case of colonic diverticulitis which ultimately resulted in colo-ovarian fistula and tuboovarian abscess formation. A 76-year-old female was presented with lower abdominal pain, diarrhea and intermittent hematochezia for about 1 month. According to the abdominal computed tomography, tuboovarian abscess was shown to adhere to the inflamed sigmoid diverticulum. Sigmoidoscopy revealed pus flowing from the opening of the diverticulum at the sigmoid colon. Hence, the patient underwent oophorosalpingectomy and low anterior resection. Thereafter, she was treated with bowel rest and broad spectrum antibiotics, and finally recovered. Although rare, colonic diverticulitis may result in colo-ovarian fistula causing tuboovarian abscess formation in postmenopausal patients. Early recognition of the condition and appropriate treatment, including surgery and antibiotics, are necessary in order to achieve full recovery from complicated diverticulitis.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128252125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Patients with complaints of subjective memory impairment were categorized into subjective memory impairment (SMI, n=42) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n=42) based on their scores in the Korean version of MiniMental State Examination, Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Clinical Dementia Rating and the neurologist’s diagnosis and evaluation. The neurocognitive function and depression rating between the SMI and the MCI groups were compared using the Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Results: The SMI group showed normal concentration, visual-spatial construction ability, and depression and deficits in the processing of memory consolidation through the delay test of verbal learning. The MCI group also showed no deficits in concentration but showed impairments in delayed recall and recognition test of verbal learning, visual memory test, and frontal lobe/executive functions. Conclusion: The MCI group showed more distinctive neurocognitive deficits in delayed recall and recognition test of verbal learning; encoding, storage, and retrieval of visual memory; and naming ability compared to the SMI group. The implications and suggestions of this study and further research were discussed.","PeriodicalId":191447,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Korean Geriatrics Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129084298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
