Malnutrition, polypharmacy and poor oral health are major concerns among older people living at home, and they contribute to disability and care dependency. This article describes the study protocol of the Nutrition, Oral Health and Medication (NutOrMed) intervention study.
This study was a population-based multidisciplinary intervention study. The NutOrMed study sample included home care clients aged 75 years or over living in Eastern and Central Finland. All the participants (n = 275) were interviewed at home at the baseline and after a 6-month intervention. The primary outcomes are nutritional status, oral health status and factors associated with them. These measures were administered at the baseline and after a 6-month follow-up. Agreement between in-home interviews and electronic medical records regarding drug use was checked at the baseline.
Our study provides evidence about factors associated with nutrition, oral health and medication that may compromise the ability to stay at home. The strengths of this study are its multidisciplinary approach, the diversity of the measures, including interviews and clinical examinations, and the multi-interventions targeting those in need.

- Study protocol
The European population is ageing due to the increased number of older people aged 75 years or over [1]. Nine out of ten people aged 75 years or older would like to live in their own home instead of living in residential care [2]. This presents a growing need for home-delivered services. Nowadays in Finland, 11.9 % of people aged 75 years or older are municipal home care clients [3]. The purpose of home-delivered services is to support maintaining of health, functional abilities and quality of life [4]. These services and assistance at home should support older patients' needs [2].
Malnutrition, excessive polypharmacy and poor oral health are major risks to the health and functional abilities of older people living at home [5, 6]. The prevalence of possible malnutrition—measured by the Mini Nutritional Assessment SF (MNA-SF) test—is 15 % among older community-dwelling persons [7] and about 50 % among older home care clients in Finland [8]. Poor oral health is common among older people receiving home care services in Japan [8] and Sweden [9]. Malnutrition affects oral health, and poor oral health, in turn, may lead to malnutrition [7, 10]. In addition, home care clients have several diseases, and the prevalence of polypharmacy (defined as use of six or more medications) is 51 % [11]. Polypharmacy and malnutrition may influence each other, and the interaction between a larger number of drugs and nutritional status is currently not fully appreciated.
Previous studies have mainly focused on the general community-dwelling [7, 12, 13] older population or persons living in residential care [8, 14]. As far as we know, no studies of the vulnerable home care population have examined the relationship between nutrition, oral health and medication use. A comprehensive perspective is important because home care clients are more vulnerable and at a higher risk of having adverse health outcomes. Here, we describe the study protocol of the Nutrition, Oral Health and Medication (NutOrMed) intervention study.
Study design
This study was a prospective non-randomised population-based multidisciplinary intervention study.
Participants and setting
The sample size calculation was estimated based on Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) with the objective to detect an increase in MNA of 0.9 in the intervention group. In our previous study, the standard error of the mean change in MNA was 0.36 and the standard deviation, 3.0 [15]. The former study had a population (risk of malnutrition) comparable to the one in this study, so it was assumed that the standard error and standard deviations are also comparable. Furthermore, a power of 80 % and a two-sided alpha of 0.05 were used. Based on these assumptions, 80 people are needed in each group. At the baseline, all the participants were interviewed at home by trained nurses, nutritionists, dental hygienists and pharmacists. We had no exclusion criteria regarding maximum age, morbidity or cognition. If a home care client was unable to reply correctly, mostly because of cognitive impairment, data collection was supplemented by an interview of a caregiver or a nurse.
Home care nurse interview and clinical examination
Sociodemographic factors, health status, depression, cognitive functioning and functioning in the activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living were determined through interviews by home care nurses. The home care nurses were those who took care of each home care client on a daily basis. The nurses were trained by one person (IN) from the University of Eastern Finland. Cognition was assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) on a scale of 0–30 with higher scores indicating better function [16], and mood was measured by the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) [17]. Activities of daily living (ADL) were assessed using the 10-item Barthel Index [6], and instrumental activities (IADL), by the 8-item Lawton and Brody scale [18]. Scoring for the ADL index is from 0–100 and for the IADL scale, from 0–8, with higher scores indicating better functioning. Comorbidity was computed using a modified version of the Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) [19]. Data on the following 13 medical conditions were available [20]: (1) rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory connective tissue diseases, (2) osteoporosis, (3) diabetes, (4) chronic asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), (5) coronary artery disease, (6) heart failure, (7) myocardial infarction, (8) stroke, (9) depressive disorder, (10) visual impairment, (11) hearing impairment, (12) Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis and (13) obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 30). The presence of each of the 13 conditions gave one point, and a higher FCI sum score represented greater comorbidity.
Biochemical measurements relevant to nutritional status, e.g. serum albumin and prealbumin, were performed. Serum albumin is considered the most accurate indicator of a patient's protein store and is therefore the main indicator of depletion of body protein stores, indicating protein malnutrition [21, 22]. The half-life of albumin is approximately 20 days, so it represents protein nutritional status from the previous weeks or month. Although there is no national standard or consensus, a serum albumin level of 3.5 g/dl is usually considered low. There are also other reasons for low serum albumin levels. These are acute health disasters like septic infection and nephrotic syndrome, which can lower serum protein levels. Prealbumin has a half-life of 1 to 3 days; therefore, levels respond quickly to protein deprivation and nutritional intervention [23]. It has become a vital objective tool in evaluating acute nutritional changes. Prealbumin is considered a more reliable indicator of the patient's nutritional status. Prealbumin levels respond rapidly to nutritional support and are often used as an indicator of the effectiveness of a feeding intervention.
Orthostatic blood pressure (BP) was measured after 10 min of rest lying in bed. BP was measured in lying, sitting and standing positions (at 1 and 3 min) by a trained nurse using an automated blood pressure monitor. A modified chair stand test [24] was used to assess the ability of the participants to perform sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks five times as fast as possible. As a modification of the original test, the hands were held to each side and the participants were allowed to help with their hands, if needed. Time was measured with a stopwatch.
Nutritionist interview and clinical examination
Nutritional status and eating habits were evaluated by a nutritionist. She examined weight, height and daily eating routines with a 24-h diary. Body weight was measured using a balance scale and BMI was computed as the ratio of weight to the square of height (kg/m2). Nutritional status was evaluated with an MNA test [25] and nutrient intake by using 24-h dietary recalls. The MNA test is a validated and standardised screening tool developed to detect nutritional problems in older people. The MNA test fulfils many criteria for screenings instruments and definitive assessment tools. The MNA test was developed and validated on large representative samples of older persons, and it has been shown to be clinically useful [26]. The MNA test is the reference instrument recommended by The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) [27]. With a clinical examination as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of the MNA test are 96 and 98 %, respectively. The maximum sum score of the MNA test is 30; scores of 24.0–30.0 indicate normal nutritional status, scores of 17.0–23.5, a risk of malnutrition and 0–16.5, malnutrition. We used a 24-h dietary recall. The nutritionist asked the participant to recall all food and drink during the previous 24 h. She administered a 24-h recall via paper records to estimate energy and macronutrient (protein, carbohydrates and fat) intake.
Dental hygienist interview and clinical examination
Trained dental hygienists interviewed the participants prior to a clinical oral health examination based on written, patterned instructions. The interview first included questions about use of services (treatment place during the last visit to dental care, time since the last visit to dental care, reason for not having visited dental care) and self-perceived need for care. Next, the participants were asked about self-reported oral health (perceived oral health, pain and discomfort related to teeth or dental prosthesis, oral health-related quality of life, eating problems caused by teeth, sense of dry mouth), presence of a removable dental prosthesis, oral health-related behaviour (tooth brushing frequency, use of tooth cleaning devices, cleaning and overnight storage of the removable dental prosthesis, cleaning of oral mucosa) and problems related to cleaning of teeth and the mouth.
The clinical examinations were also conducted at the participant's home according to WHO instructions [28] and with help of a mouth mirror, a WHO periodontal probe (natural teeth) and a headlamp. The participants were either sitting or lying down. The subjects were first asked about the need for antibiotic prophylaxis in dental care, and if they answered yes, periodontal measurements were excluded. First the type and location (full or partial denture separately in the upper and lower jaws), need for repair (yes/no) and hygiene (good if plaque or tartar not shown) of the removable dental prosthesis were examined outside the mouth. Possible pain related to use of a prosthesis was also asked. The intraoral examination began with an examination of the oral mucosa using a dental mirror and gauze. After this, the number, location and condition of the teeth were recorded as follows: sound, filled with no need for repair, fractured with no caries, carious, root caries, radix without caries, missing or not able to examine. Tooth mobility was defined with one finger and an instrument and registered as none, 1–2 teeth with mobility or 3 or more teeth with mobility. Spaces in the dental arch were recorded separately in the upper and lower jaw by sextants as follows: none, space present but filled by a removable prosthesis, fixed prosthesis or implant and space present but not filled. Presence of plaque on each tooth was registered according to the modified Silness & Löe [29] index and recorded as none, found at the gingival margin only, found also elsewhere or not able to examine/tooth missing. Presence of gingival bleeding on probing was measured for each teeth except for wisdom teeth and recorded as yes, no or not able to examine/missing tooth. Depth of periodontal pockets was measured with a ball-ended WHO periodontal probe at four points (distal angle, midpoint of the buccal site, midpoint of the lingual site and mesial angle) and recorded by tooth according to the deepest probing pocket depth (PPD) as no pocket, pocket ≥4–5 mm or not able to examine. The examination was performed according to the asepsis of dental principles and ethical guidelines.
Pharmacist interview
A pharmacist interviewed the participants and recorded each prescription and non-prescription medication and complementary and alternative medicine supplements used regularly, as needed within a week or in the past on the basis of the interview, medication lists, packages and prescriptions at the baseline. All medications were encoded using the Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification (WHO) [30]. Additionally, strengths, quantity, timing, indications and possible adverse reactions and problems were recorded. The medication list from the locally used electronic medical record (EMR) was gathered from the same day as the in-home interview.
The inclusion criteria for nutritional interventions
Inclusion criteria
Intervention 1
EM or risk of EM (MNA score <24)
Intervention 2
PM or risk PM plasma albumin <35 g/L
Intervention 3
PEM or risk of PEM (MNA score <24 and plasma albumin <35 g/L
The participants were re-examined by home care nurses, nutritionists and dental hygienists 6 months after the baseline interviews to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions (Fig. 1). The participants in both the intervention and control groups had the same examinations with the exception of the nutritional and oral health intervention.
Outcome measures
The primary outcome measures are the following: (1) improvement in nutritional status measured by MNA test, laboratory tests, change in weight and BMI and nutrient intake based on a 24-h dietary recall; (2) improvement in oral health status measured by clinical oral health examination and in-home interview (self-reported oral health); and (3) agreement between in-home interview and EMR regarding medication. The measurements of outcomes 1–2 were done at the baseline and after the 6-month follow-up. Drug use was evaluated only at the baseline.
The secondary outcome measures are based on the results of the self-reported questionnaire: mood (GDS-15), activities of daily living (Barthel Index) and instrumental activities (Lawton and Brody scale), blood pressure (mmHG) and chair stand test (s).
Statistical analysis
Analyses were performed using SPSS version 19.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The change that occurred during the intervention period was calculated for each outcome measure. Where the distribution of the change was approximately normal, an independent t test was used to compare the groups. When the data were not normally distributed, a Mann-Witney U test was used. Statistical comparisons between the groups were made using a chi-square test or t test, with 0.05 considered significant. The results are expressed as means or frequencies with standard deviations (SD) or percentiles. A regression analyses was used to measure the effectiveness of the intervention over the follow-up period.
Ethics approval
The study protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Northern Savo Hospital District, Kuopio, Finland.
The present study describes the study protocol of the first intervention study examining the relationship between nutritional status, oral health and medication use in a home care population.
During the last few years, living at home has been preferred over residential care [2, 31]. Providing home care services that meet the needs of community-dwelling older people is an increasingly pertinent issue. Already numerous countries, including Finland, have observed a substantial rise in expenditure and demand for home care services, which is predicted to continue. Our study provides evidence on the factors associated with nutrition, oral health and medication use that may compromise the ability to stay at home.
The strengths of this study are its multidisciplinary approach, the diversity of the measures, including interviews and clinical examinations, as well as the multi-interventions targeting those in need. The findings of this study are directly applicable to real life, allowing health care professionals to focus on nutrition, oral health care and medication use among older people. In addition, the present study had no exclusion criteria regarding age and morbidity or the cognitive status of home care clients.

At the time, the U.S. was under prohibition. He would mostly arrest people smuggling alcohol through Kansas, often times stored in containers cleverly disguised as milk bottles that were painted white on the inside. The three variations of beer can be differentiated by the main color of the labels as well as the terms used to call people who smuggled alcohol: bootlegger, moonshiner, and rum-runner.

The UFT's Math Teachers Committee exists to serve and assist teachers of mathematics in New York City public schools. Our members teach all fields of mathematics included in the curriculum for elementary, middle and high schools (pre-K to 12) in the city. Our meetings and workshops cover a wide range of topics in mathematics as well as interdisciplinary subjects from ideas for creative lesson plans to help with new math-related technologies.
Since 2008, we have partnered with the New York City Art Teachers Association/UFT (NYCATA) to host an ArtMath/MathArt workshop every May. Some recent ArtMath workshops have focused on fractals and on "Mathematical Art: Studio to Gallery to Classroom."
We have also presented social studies related math workshops at the ATSS/UFT annual conference. Other recent workshops have focused on TI's exciting TI-NSpire calculator, a useful tool for both students and teachers now able to graph in color and to import photos as well as on the use of quilts and stained glass in math instruction for students of all ages.
We hope you will join us for some or all of our events and will register with our committee by completing the enrollment form below! Check New York Teacher and this page for announcements of upcoming workshops.

Fumigation Experts in Karachi
Cockroaches are considered to be among the most common insects in our homes. This fact is well known among people because this type of insect species has been present on Earth for over millions of years. Cockroaches can be found in many different sizes. Their size may vary from an inch up to 4-5 inches long. Cockroaches can easily inhabit in some place in your home because they are looking for food and a safe place for living. It is not an easy task to eliminate cockroaches from your home, office or elsewhere because this type of insects has been able to survive many changing environments over millions of years so they are used to find a way to stay in the place where they feel comfortable. There are approximately 3500 species of cockroaches worldwide-about 60 species are found in the United States. Their presence in nearly every part of the world and wide range of habitats demonstrate that cockroaches are truly an outstanding success story in Nature. Unfortunately, many of the same outstanding biological characteristics which make them so successful, also make them one of the most difficult pests to manage. Cockroaches, especially the German cockroach, are the most commonly encountered and important household insect pests in many homes worldwide.
Cockroach control can be tricky because there are two main types of roaches (American and German), and they are eliminated using different techniques. Even though they are from the same species, they require a different type of treatment because every type of cockroaches is different and has different needs. The smaller roaches are the German roach and the Brown Banded roach. The German roach is the most common of the smaller roaches. But its size does not mean that you can get rid of them easily. In fact, they are the most difficult to control and eliminate. Some of the larger types of cockroaches are the American, Australian, Smoky Brown, Oriental Roaches and Woods Roaches. The most common of the larger sized roach is the American roach. The treatment of the larger roaches is similar to one another. It is important to eliminate the roaches from your home as soon as possible because they are transmitters of some diseases. For example, they could be the transmitters of gastroenteritis including food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhea.
Our teams of professionals can help you in the process of elimination of cockroaches from your household, office, garden, basement or any other premise. Cockroaches are usually hard to control because of their nature and instinct. Here should be mentioned the fact that using certain chemicals at home on your own can be a threat to your health and also the health of your family. When it comes to the elimination of cockroaches, using chemicals and sprays is not the right solution.GEL Treatment is best way to get rid of Roaches without any disturbance or bad-smell in your home or in office. Its cost is quite little high then Spray Fumigation, but it is easy to apply and takes less time.

More Starwood news for Star Mega Do 2010
Starwood Hotels, the official hotel partners for Star Mega Do 2010, have announced some additional promotions for the event. On top of the previously announced 1,000 bonus points per room per night for all participants that was previously announced, here are some other benefits that participants can enjoy:
- Everyone participating will get Gold status comped immediately: For folks who do not hold status with other programs this is a great way to jump in to the SPG program and get a feel for their into level elite tier. You'll earn bonus points on all stays, have access to some room upgrades and other benefits.
- Platinum status match if desired & eligible: For folks who currently hold a top-tier status in a different hotel loyalty chain, Starwood will match this status to their Platinum level. SPG Platinum Preferred members earn even more points per stay, are eligible for suite upgrades in some cases and receive complimentary high-speed internet access at properties where it is normally a paid service. A welcome gift upon arrival at the hotel, complimentary gym access and the Platinum Concierge are also part of the benefits. This status match is subject to the regular SPG one-time only restrictions.
- Current Platinums will get goodies as well, but it will be a surprise presented later: We're not in a position to announce the exact details of these benefits publicly yet, but believe me when I say they are quite choice. If you have the means I highly recommend it.
There's still more to come. every time it seems we cannot make the event better another partner steps up to prove us wrong. We're almost sold out – only 30 seats remaining – so sign up now and join the fun!
The status match benefits will be valid through the 2011 program year.
Starwood steps up for Star Mega Do 2010
As the official hotel brand of Star Mega Do 2010 the participation of Starwood Preferred Guest in the week's events was never in doubt. Nor was earning of SPG points for stays booked as part of the event. But there was a small amount of unknown about just what special benefits the brand would bring to the program. At least part of that question has been answered with an announcement last night.
Starwood will be providing all paid rooms with 1000 bonus SPG points per night for stays booked on the discounted group rate throughout the week. These points are in addition to any other benefits, earnings and promotions that would be accrued through stays at the properties. In addition, Starwood is offering an instant status match to Platinum, the top tier in the SPG program, for top tier folks in other major programs. Enrollment for this match is expected to be available in August.
Combined with the commitment from Continental and Lufthansa to issue miles for the charter portion of the trip – and we're still working with other Star Alliance carriers to secure their participation as well – the earning potential for the event is significant. It is still outweighed by the behind-the-scenes experiences that all participants will get to participate in, but certainly a nice little bonus.

RE for Children and Youth
Sunday Morning Classes
RE Registration Form
Our Whole Lives
Youth Ministries
Coming of Age
RE for Adults
RE Council
For grades 8 through 10 (offered in alternate years)
Coming of Age is a rite of passage program for Unitarian Universalist Youth.
The mission of our program is to provide experiences for our youth that will help them integrate their childhood into their emerging adulthood with a clear sense of themselves and their place in the church and in the world.
The program is designed to help our young people:
Each youth participating in the program will have a mentor (an adult member from the congregation) who will serve as an important companion throughout the year.
The mentor will join their "mentee" in an open and supportive relationship in which fellowship, honesty and fun are central.
The Coming of Age Task Force will help each participant choose a mentor that is right for him or her. In addition to each participant's local congregational involvement, there will be a series of three retreats during the year in which we will join with other Unitarian Universalist Coming of Age youth from around the Bay Area.
The retreats will give youth the opportunity to do some fun and challenging activities like a Ropes Course and a Nature Vigil. At the culmination of the Coming of Age Program there is a special Coming of Age Sunday in which youth share with the congregation their belief statement which they have been working on throughout the program. That evening all the youth from the participating congregations come together for a dinner to celebrate the completion of the program.
Coming of Age is an opportunity for youth to: challenge themselves both physically and spiritually; develop meaningful relationships with other youth and adults; gain a greater understanding of Unitarian Universalism and what it means to them and; to have lots of fun enjoying the many gifts life presents to us.

Australian House Inspired by a Hollow Burnt Log
This Australian contemporary beauty sits tall ever since Jackson Clements Burrows Pty Ltd Architects saw it finished. It all began with the first visit to the future house location. The architects found a hollowed out burnt log which became the focal point in designing this house. The log suggested the form of the house, while the surrounding dunes moulded the shape of the construction. The winding driveway makes its way to the house by climbing the steep dune and remains hidden from view with the help of a screen fence.
Belonging to a retired couple that is often visited by their family, the lower level consists of guest accommodations as well as the mechanical systems and pool equipment spaces. The first floor is elevated so that the residents can enjoy the impressive views across the Mornington Peninsula from Bass Strait to Port Philip Bay. The orientation to the northwest made it difficult to control the heating during summer so, in order to protect the comfort, blinds automatically close once the sun passes through the north axis.
The first floor shelters the kitchen, dining, living, garage and laundry, while on the second floor we can find the study, master bedroom and en suite. The hollowed out burnt log served as inspiration not only to the form, but to the colours chosen for the exterior and interior. The natural finish cladding on the outside, as well as the cedar windows combined with the spotted gum hardwood cladding on the inside are a constant reminder of the log.
