Aging and the Reflective Practitioner – Part I
Presenter: Marilyn R. Gugliucci [bio]Marilyn R. Gugliucci
Dr. Marilyn R. Gugliucci is the Director of Geriatrics Education and Research at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Maine. She designed and implemented an older adult community-based functional fitness program and conducts research on balance to reduce incidence of falls and improve stability.
$29.00 Add to cartPart I will illuminate why older age is often associated with disease and decline (Western view) and why our society continues to define it that way! To be progressive in the field of aging, it is important to be knowledgeable of the concepts and theories in aging to understand how and why our society views aging the way it does. This platform will prepare the practitioner to think critically about his/her own views on aging and consider ways in which he/she has either been co-opted by western societal views or has transcended them. There are numerous opportunities and/or challenges in working with older adults, but having a base of understanding is essential. [more details]

$59.00 Add to cartEarly and effective intervention for infant hearing loss depends on prompt and accurate diagnostic information. Diagnosis of hearing loss includes, for each ear, a description of the degree (severity) of impairment across the frequency region important for speech perception, and information on the site of auditory dysfunction (e.g., middle ear, inner ear, and/or neural pathways). Diagnostic auditory assessment should be completed within the first months following birth, permitting initial medical and non-medical management by 6 months (the definition of early intervention for hearing loss).

The use of exercise protocols to alleviate symptoms of motion or movement provoked dizziness post-acute labyrinthine event was first seen in the literature with Cawthorne and Cooksey's 1946 article in the British Journal of Medicine. Over the past 60 years, VRT has progressed to a well-recognized, evidenced-based gold-standard for the non-medical management of chronic symptoms associated with a post-labyrinthine event such as vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis, labyrinthine concussion, and other common disorders.

Commonly encountered etiologies for adult hearing loss, such as noise-induced and age-related auditory dysfunction, are reviewed. Then, the clinical procedures employed in the diagnostic hearing assessment of adults are explained. Typical patterns of auditory findings for a test battery of auditory procedures are associated with etiologies underlying common causes of adult hearing loss. The lecture concludes with information on how to screen for hearing loss in a physician's office, including codes used to bill for the procedures. [more details]
