Patients afflicted with diabetes suffer from disabilities, which can in many cases lead to foot amputation and other various complications. Often, patients also suffer from chronic pain caused by diabetic foot neuropathy, which may make them unable to continue with their employment and have a negative effect on their daily lives. Patients with mental health disorders are adversely affected by diabetic foot pathologies due to their lack of timely follow-up and limited access to medical providers. The goal of this Practicum experience was to develop and deliver a PowerPoint presentation to provide clinical guidance and education to primary care clinicians who evaluate diabetic patients (many with mental health issues) who otherwise might not have an opportunity to be evaluated by a podiatrist in a timely manner. This author created the PowerPoint presentation based on the review of literature and the input from the committee members. The PowerPoint presentation on diabetic foot care was limited to the primary care clinical staff at the Queens County Medical Center in Queens, New York. The purpose of the practicum is for these clinicians to learn how to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the lower extremities in patients with diabetes, including awareness of risk factors prone to increasing risk of foot ulceration, screening for neurological foot deficits, analyzing treatment options for patients with diabetic foot maladies, and exploring prevention strategies to prevent diabetic foot complications.","PeriodicalId":243213,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Science & Mental Health Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116108556","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}

The approach applies a user-friendly app (BimiLeap) developed from the science of Mind Genomics. The app teaches students how to think critically and creatively, in a structured way, with feedback from panel respondents unknown to the student. From the viewpoint of the student as job applicant, the Mind Genomics approach can teach the applicant, a prospective employee to think better, and while learning to do so, help the applicant create an individual portfolio of studies that can be presented to the interviewer. The portfolio demonstrates the applicant’s ability to do independent research relevant to the company doing the hiring. From the viewpoint of the hiring company, the Mind Genomics approach provides a test of intellectual proficiency, either as a homework assignment before the interview or as a test given to the respondent with the topic chosen by the interviewing company.","PeriodicalId":243213,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Science & Mental Health Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129254041","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}

Most researchers engaged in the study of reasons for the memory impairment attribute such changes in the functional activity of the brain to gene mutations and perhaps it is probable that the decrease in the activity of NADP-H-dependent disulfide reductase must be exactly the result of gene mutations at the level of nerve cells [7]. Based on the above-mentioned, we started searching for the biologically active substances which activated the activity of disulfide reductase enzyme. The impact of the injection of biologically Abstract The fractional content of water soluble proteins in young and old rats’ brain has been studied. It has been established that the water soluble proteins in the brain of old rats are characterized by the excess of high molecular proteins, as compared to the proteins of young ones. We have supposed that the formation of high molecular proteins as a result of the aggregation of disulfide bonds of low molecular proteins should have been due to the determination of number of sulfhydryl groups. As a result of quantitative determination of sulfhydryl groups, the amount of disulfide bonds in the soluble proteins of the brain in old rats appeared to be 50-60% more, as compared to young rats. It turned out that the activity of NADP-H-dependent disulfide reductase enzyme was about 30-50% less. The impact of biologically active substances, which activate disulfide reductase on the activity of disulfide reductase and the elaboration of conditional avoidance reflex, was specially studied. It has been established that disulfide reductase activity in the various areas of old rats brain on average increases by 50-60-% and relatively the development of conditional avoidance reflexes and the memory is improved by 70%.","PeriodicalId":243213,"journal":{"name":"Ageing Science & Mental Health Studies","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124882560","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}
