Super-multifactorial survey YHAB revealed high prevalence of sleep apnoea syndrome in unaware older adults and potential combinatorial factors for its initial screening.

Aging is a risk factor for sleep apnoea syndrome (SAS), which is associated with lower quality of life and sudden mortality. However, SAS is often overlooked in older adults without suspicions. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate SAS incidence and 48 other general factors in older adults.

The mechanism of persistent undermining of a sacral pressure ulcer: Experimental analyses using a deformable model and examination of skin mobility over different anatomical locations.

Undermining is an important issue in the treatment and care of deep pressure ulcers. The frequency of the undermining over different bony prominences varies. In particular, deep pressure ulcers over the sacrum exhibit undermining more frequently than those occurring over the heel.
