Resilience and successful aging: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the relationship between successful aging (SA) and resilience in older adults, focusing on individuals aged 60 and above, to address a significant gap in understanding how resilience contributes to SA.

Methods: Following the Cochrane review guidelines, we conducted searches in databases such as Web of Science, PsycNet, and PubMed up to December 2021 and used PRISMA as a tool for reporting the results. Our inclusion criteria were studies on psychological resilience and SA in older adults aged 60 and above.

Human fluid balance modelling and its treatment simulation with HIDION.

HIDION is a tanden system composed of an expert system for diagnosis of the water and electrolytic balance disturbance and a modelling program for simulation and suggestion of the needed correction. The expert system attempts to make a diagnosis mainly based on clinical symptoms and on patient history, as they are generally available for most physicians. The treatment module assists the user to establish a right strategy for re-equilibration of the fluid balance.
