The increase of dementia makes cognitive disorder a global challenge. Even if wandering is not a symptom of dementia in general, professionals and scientists dominate the definition of wandering as an aimless movement of people with cognitive impairment, mainly dementia. In consequence, professional types of wandering management were elaborated trying to avoid or replace it. However, this can cause negative effects. The article analyses an apparently common informal type of wandering management. It consists of slipping an address paper in the wallet of the ill person. The analysis reveals that this practice is normatively structured by a gift of trust.

Gallbladder volvulus is a rare but potentially severe condition that requires urgent surgical intervention. This report presents two contrasting cases of gallbladder volvulus with distinct pathogenic mechanisms and degrees of torsion. The first case involves a 97-year-old female who presented with acute symptoms and 270° torsion, leading to complete gallbladder necrosis (Gross type II).

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive inherited retinal dystrophy, characterized by the degeneration of photoreceptors, presenting as a rod-cone dystrophy. Approximately 20-30% of patients with RP also exhibit extra-ocular manifestations in the context of a syndrome. This manuscript discusses the broad spectrum of syndromes associated with RP, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, differential diagnoses, clinical management approaches, and future perspectives.

Mind wandering can cause workers to overlook safety hazards and delay making accurate operational decisions, ultimately raising the potential for accidents. However, there is relatively little research on the physiological characteristics of drilling workers during mind wandering. The aim of this investigation was to tackle the constraints of previous studies and to establish a more comprehensive theoretical framework and practical guidance for safety management.
