The Warburg Effect

Lactate is a byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis, and hyperlactatemia is commonly seen in critically ill patients. We report a case of an elderly male presenting with undifferentiated constitutional symptoms, anemia, thrombocytopenia, severe lactic acidosis, refractory hypoglycemia, and a newly detected abdominal mass. A dedicated workup ruled out infectious etiologies and revealed metastatic non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This study explores etiologies of type B lactic acidosis in oncology patients, with a focus on Warburg’s effect, and its potential for prognostication.

Reactive perforating collagenosis is commonly recognised as an unusual form of transepithelial elimination of collagen and elastin fibres which are extruded through the epidermis in patients with a genetic predisposition or underlying diseases, such as diabetes mellitus or renal diseases. We present the unusual case of an 87-year-old diabetic male with a giant form of reactive perforating collagenosis and review the available literature.

Abscess Wall

Splenic abscess is a relatively uncommon condition, posing a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the treating physician. It occurs due to haematogenous spread from endocarditis or other septic foci, especially in immune-compromised individuals and diabetics. We describe an elderly male who presented with splenomegaly and low-grade fever with no predisposing factors. Examination revealed a tender splenomegaly. Ultrasonography (US) showed a hypoechoic area within the spleen from which guided aspiration of pus grew Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Percutaneous drainage and culture-based antibiotics failed to resolve the abscess, obligating surgical drainage. Intraoperative biopsy from the abscess wall was reported as splenic marginal lymphoma. This unusual presentation of lymphoma needs to be considered in splenic abscess without known risk factors.

The objective of this study was to test higher-order statistical (HOS) parameters for the classification of young and elderly voice signals and identify gender- and age-related differences through HOS analysis. This study was based on data from 116 subjects (58 females and 58 males) extracted from the Saarbruecken voice database. In the gender analysis, the same number of voice samples were analyzed for each sex. Further, we conducted experiments on the voices of elderly people using gender analysis. Finally, we reviewed the standards and reference models to reduce sex and gender bias. The acoustic parameters were extracted from young and elderly voice signals using Praat and a time–frequency analysis program (TF32). Additionally, we investigated the gender- and age-related differences in HOS parameters. Young and elderly voice signals significantly differed in normalized skewness (p = 0.005) in women and normalized kurtosis (p = 0.011) in men. Therefore, normalized skewness is a useful parameter for distinguishing between young and elderly female voices, and normalized kurtosis is essential for distinguishing between young and elderly male voices. We will continue to investigate parameters that represent important information in elderly voice signals.

Long Term Care Insurance

Abstract Singapore has a rapidly aging population. Long-term care (LTC) is one of the largest financial risks facing elderly in Singapore. Singapore implemented Eldershield, a long-term care insurance scheme which provided defined cash benefit payouts in the event of severe disability; but capped at a maximum of six years. Eldershield enrolled people at age 40, but offered an opt-out option. As of 2015, 65% of those aged 40 to 83 opted to be covered by Eldershield, making Singapore as having the highest voluntary LTC insurance rate in the world. This paper uses an actuarial multi-state disability model and calibrates the transition probabilities and duration-of-stay at various health (disability) states to assess the adequacy and comprehensiveness of Eldershield. The time-limited cash benefit design in Eldershield helped defray about 13% of LTC costs. Removing the time cap will help defray 23% and 26% of the LTC costs for elderly male and female respectively. Furthermore, the simulation results demonstrate that relaxing the trigger benefit and having staggered payouts will improve the adequacy of long-term care insurance. The experience of Singapore’s LTC insurance offers insights into the challenges of designing an insurance that tends to occur at higher age and insuring against a cost that could range from zero to a significantly large sum over a long period. Even with the enhanced Careshield Life, which provides cash payouts for life, other policy designs, for example caregiver grants, may be needed to ensure more adequate financing of long-term care.
