  • Additional hospitalization costs associated with delirium among older adults

    Open AccessEmmanuel E Garcia Morales, Mfon E Umoh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction: Delirium, an acute state of confusion and inattention, affects over 7 million hospitalized adults in the United States (US) annually. Health care costs associated with delirium in the US have been estimated from prospective observational cohorts of hospitalized older adults, but these estimates may be skewed based on the community examined. Therefore, there is a need for estimates from nationally representative data. Methods: Additi…

    Open AccessEmmanuel E Garcia Morales, Danielle S Powell et al.ARTICLEWork Aging and Retirement2023References: 3

    To investigate the association between sensory loss and the timing and type of self-reported departures from the labor force, via retirement or disability, we used data from the Health and Retirement Study, cycles 2004-2018. Based on self-reported sensory loss, we classified individuals into four groups: no sensory loss, hearing loss only, vision loss only, and dual sensory loss (vision and hearing loss). We assumed that older adults could leave …

  • Some Neglected Evidence on the Early Career of Tacitus

    Open AccessNicholas S Reed, Nicholas ReedARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1976References: 3

    The first passage quoted above is the only certain evidence we have about Tacitus' early career, until we come to his tenure of the praetorship in A.D. 88. His career before that date has been the subject of much speculation, so it is surprising that no notice has been taken of the second passage. Syme does not even mention it, and C.W. Mendell merely describes it as ‘curious’. The reason for its dismissal is presumably that the post of a bibliot…
