Chronic diseases are diseases with insidious onset, prolonged duration, and intractability and are associated with complex etiology and multiple morbidities, including hypertension, obesity, liver disease, kidney disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic lung disease. For patients with chronic diseases, although the cause of the disease is not in the spleen and stomach, medication or further development of the disease will affect the function of the spleen and stomach disorders, leading to worsening of the disease. In this article, ultrasound is used to detect health disorders of the spleen and stomach. Patients should eat a light diet and exercise more. Elderly patients can increase abdominal massage and other health care. It should be emphasized that the prevalence of chronic diseases is not lower in people with high education or high economic income but is closely related to people’s daily living habits; secondly, we should enhance physical exercise and advocate annual physical examination. Finally, we need to develop different measures according to different regions to prevent and treat chronic diseases and give timely feedback to the interventions. New preventive and curative measures are given in time to improve public health.

Objective: To evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors, health status, and Functional Capacity (FC) in the oldest senior citizens in a metropolis and a poor rural region of Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional study of 417 seniors aged ≥80 years, data collected through Brazil’s Health, Well-being and Aging survey. FC assessed by self-reporting of difficulties in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed using “R” statistical software. Results: Socioeconomic and demographic inequalities in Brazil can influence FC in seniors aged 80 years and older. Comparatively, urban long-lived people had a higher prevalence of difficulties for ADLs and rural ones showed more difficulties for IADLs. Among urban oldest seniors, female gender and lower-income were correlated with difficulties for IADLs. Among rural oldest seniors, female gender, stroke, joint disease, and inadequate weight independently were correlated with difficulties for ADLs, while the number of chronic diseases was associated with difficulties for IADLs. Conclusion: Financial constraints may favor the development of functional limitations among older seniors in large urban centers. In poor rural areas, inadequate nutritional status and chronic diseases may increase their susceptibility to functional decline.

Present investigation was conducted on 3310 Assamese buffaloes during the period 2009-13 to study on-farm husbandry practices and phenotypic characteristics. Fifty two breeders were randomly selected from 18 villages of three districts in its breeding tract in Assam, India. A pre-structured questionnaire was used to interview the breeders to generate data which included husbandry practices: housing and sanitation, feeding, breeding and general health management and body measurement: body length, body height, heart girth, paunch girth. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics (percentages). The study revealed that the body length, height, heart girth and paunch girth for young and adult animals, ranged from 70.45±0.82 to 143.62±1.10, 81.34±0.60 to 136.31±1.00, 88.85±0.53 to 186.95±0.95 and 96.04±0.83 to 197.96±0.99 cm respectively. The results showed that the breeders have adopted good husbandry practices under existing farming situations in the area except sanitation and drainage was very poor. Feeding management was mostly extensive type (100%) for 8 hours (100%) and the Colostrum and milk feeding to young calves was practiced by 100% of the farmers. Whereas breeding is concerned, 46.15% breeders maintained 40-60 animals with 1-2 breeding bulls (78.85%) for natural breeding (100%). Buffalo breeders adopted deworming (40.38%) in young as well as adult animals and the vaccination of animals were practiced only 38.46%. The treatment of diseased animals was performed mostly by Veterinary Field Assistants (38.62%) and the Quacks (51.92%). Most common category of diseases was FMD, BQ and Parasites (36.54%) in the area. The animals are good for draft purpose and known for higher fat contents in its milk, hence recommended for its conservation and further development.

Corporate Level

The article considers the accumulated experience and trends in the development of health management at the corporate level. The data of international and national studies are presented, indicating the benefits of using health programs for employee, employers and society as a whole, as well as highlighting the key problems arising in the management of employee health: when implementing corporate programs, it is not always clear and specific goals are established and data collection is organized , allowing to estimate their real results and efficiency; despite significant investments and efforts to stimulate participation in health and well-being programs, often employee participation continues to be at a rather low level (not least because of employee concerns about the use and confidentiality and protection of data obtained during implementation, discrimination); the studies point to marked differences in the assessment of the results of health and well-being programs by employers and employees; most of the programs for recovery and well-being are mostly reactive in nature, they are not aimed at solving existing problems, but not at preventing them, etc. The conditions necessary for the further development and effectiveness of corporate health and well-being management programs are justified.

The aim of the research is the development of technical diagnostics subsystem with the possibility of its further integration into the automated system of equipment health management, which will improve the efficiency of data ware, hardware and software. Synthesis of intellectual diagnostic models was produced a by using the Matlab graphical agents. At the same time, there were synthesized models of three types: fuzzy, neural-network and model built by planning the full factorial experimental method. Was proposed the concept of the three-stage procedure of the diagnosis of the thermal power station's turbine unit, instead of the creation of diagnosis mathematical models and failure models of objects, immediately begin to develop an algorithm of diagnosis using advanced intelligent technologies. The technique of creating a sub-line diagnostics status of the turbine unit, which includes three main stages: identification of diagnostic features based on expert method; the synthesis of diagnostic model of the facility technical condition; research models on the stability, sensitivity and uniqueness, was proposed. The main diagnostic features of assessing the state of turbine equipment, which, in accordance with the concept developed, allow forming a matrix of planning a full factorial experiment. The proposed techniques and concepts were subjected to experimental verification. The intellectual diagnostic model of turbine unit equipment health was proposed, synthesized and investigated. It was found that the best model is the model, built using neuro-fuzzy algorithms. The simulation was provided for neuro-fuzzy algorithms and confirmed their effectiveness and compliance with the laws of the physical functioning of the HPC. The results of this research have been used in the development of Almaty CHP-2 turbine equipment health management subsystems, allow the further development of the theoretical foundations of intellectual systems, and demonstrate the possibility of using modern concepts to solve important technical problems. Subsystem of operative diagnosis and the following software implementation in a complex of automated technological process of thermal power control system allows one to make an early diagnosis of the equipment health. This significantly reduces the maintenance costs, improves reliability and security, as well as the effectiveness of the control system. In this regard, the results of this study provide further development of the theoretical foundations of the intellectual systems and demonstrate the possibility of modern concepts usage to determinate the important technical problems.

Abstract Aim: To analyze scientific literature on the development and implementation of the Chronic Care Model (CCM) in treating chronic diseases in the Italy context. Besides, to evaluate the effects of the activities carried out by the operators participating in the CCM on clinical care. Background: Italy is the second country globally for longevity, with 21.4% of citizens over 65 and 6.4% over 80. The CCM fits into this context, a care model aimed primarily at patients suffering from chronic diseases, especially in emergencies, as the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cinahl, and Cochrane Library scientific databases were consulted, and the records selected as relevant by title and abstract by nine independent scholars, and disagreements were resolved through discussion. Finally, the studies included in this review were selected based on the eligibility criteria. Results: Twenty potentially relevant studies were selected, and after applying the eligibility criteria and screening by the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool, eight included in this review. The studies showed the effectiveness of CCM for managing patients with heart failure in primary care settings and significant improvements in clinical outcomes, the reduction of inappropriate emergency room access for chronic patients, and the improvement of patients’ overall health with diabetes. The CCM organizational model is effective in improving the management of metabolic control and the main cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, this modality also allows doctors to dedicate more space to patients in the disease’s acute phase. Conclusion: The CCM, with its fundamental pillars of empowering self-management of care, could represent a valid alternative to health management. The managers of health services, especially territorial ones, could consider the CCM for the improvement of the treatments offered.

Physical And Mental Health

It is very important to estimate the prevalence of inadequate health literacy and determine whether or not health literacy level differences predict the physical and mental health status of older adults. A cluster sampling method was selected. A total of 1396 older adults were interviewed. Three instruments were included: the Chinese Citizen Health Literacy Questionnaire, Short Form 36, and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Scale. The health literacy scores were very low (71.74 ± 28.35). The physical and mental health scores were all moderate. The ADLs was ⩾22, which suggests that the ADLs of older adults were poor. The major influencing factors of physical health include health literacy, ADL, alcohol consumption, household income, marital status, and former occupation. The major factors influencing mental health included ADL, former occupation, age, and smoking. Health literacy was associated with physical health, but was not associated with mental health. Improving health literacy could increase health management and health status of older adults.
