Background: Use of antipsychotics in elderly patients with dementia has decreased in the past decade due to safety regulations; however use is still high. Geographical variation may indicate discrepancies in clinical practice and lack of adherence to evidence-based guidelines for the management of behavioral symptoms. Objective: To investigate potential geographical variances in use of antipsychotic drugs in dementia care. Methods: A registry-based cross-sectional study in the entire elderly population of Denmark (≥65 years) conducted in 2012. Data included place of residence, prescriptions filled, and hospital discharge diagnoses. Antipsychotic drug use among elderly with (n = 34,536) and without (n = 931,203) a dementia diagnosis was compared across the five regions and 98 municipalities in Denmark, adjusted for age and sex. Results: In 2012, the national prevalence of antipsychotic drug use was 20.7% for elderly patients with dementia, with a national incidence of 3.9%.

  • MOBILITY, EXCHANGE, and TOMB MEMBERSHIP in BRONZE AGE ARABIA: a BIOGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial F
    MOBILITY, EXCHANGE, AND TOMB MEMBERSHIP IN BRONZE AGE ARABIA: A BIOGEOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lesley Ann Gregoricka, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Clark Spencer Larsen, Advisor Joy McCorriston Samuel D. Stout Paul W. Sciulli Copyright by Lesley Ann Gregoricka 2011 ABSTRACT Major transitions in subsistence, settlement organization, and funerary architecture accompanied the rise and fall of extensive trade complexes between southeastern Arabia and major centers in Mesopotamia, Dilmun, Elam, Central Asia, and the Indus Valley throughout the third and second millennia BC. I address the nature of these transformations, particularly the movements of people accompanying traded goods across this landscape, by analyzing human and faunal skeletal material using stable strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopes. Stable isotope analysis is a biogeochemical technique utilized to assess patterns of residential mobility and paleodiet in archaeological populations. Individuals interred in monumental communal tombs from the Umm an-Nar (2500-2000 BC) and subsequent Wadi Suq (2000-1300 BC) periods from across the Oman Peninsula were selected, and the enamel of their respective tomb members analyzed to detect (a) how the involvement of this region in burgeoning pan- Gulf exchange networks may have influenced mobility, and (b) how its inhabitants reacted during the succeeding economic collapse of the early second millennium BC. Due to the commingled and fragmentary nature of these remains, the majority of enamel samples came from a single tooth type for each tomb (e.g., LM1) to prevent ii repetitive analysis of the same individual.
