Sputnik V Effectiveness against Hospitalization with COVID-19 during Omicron Dominance.

Mass vaccination campaigns against COVID-19 affected more than 90% of the population in most developed countries. The new epidemiologic wave of COVID-19 has been ongoing since the end of 2021. It is caused by a virus variant B.

Introducing a clinically effective allied health rapid discharge team within a complex aged subacute in-patient cohort on a cost recovery basis: the upported atient cntred arly ischarge (SPeED) initiative.

This case study reports the outcomes of an early supported discharge program. This model of care was trialled after Victoria introduced subacute weighted inlier equivalent separations funding to subacute in-patients in 2016. An allied health team (Supported Patient centred Early Discharge (SPeED)) managed patients suitable for assessment, intervention and early supported discharge (ESD).

The influence of age on gait parameters during the transition from a wide to a narrow pathway.

Background And Purpose: The ability to negotiate pathways of different widths is a prerequisite of daily living. However, only a few studies have investigated changes in gait parameters in response to walking on narrow pathways. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of age on gait adjustments during the transition from a wide to a narrow pathway.

Effects of age on balance control during walking.

Objective: To determine the effects of aging on balance control during walking.

Design: Two-group repeated-measures design.

Setting: Gait laboratory in Australia.

Russian electrical stimulation: the early experiments.

Russian forms of electrical stimulation became popular to a large extent as a result of the activities of Kots, who claimed force gains of up to 40% in elite athletes as a result of what was then a new form of stimulation. He did not provide details of his published work, nor did he give references. Russian electrical stimulation became popular despite the lack of research in the English-language literature.
