He was a committed urological historian, living and dying in Australia. He specifically mentions that his work was intended to fill a gap from the 1930s to the 1970s and dedicated the work to his wife, Betty. This is a historical investigation into the previously undocumented life and writings of Leonard Murphy. METHODS: We accessed the Archives of the University of Melbourne where Murphy worked. Next, direct contact with the Charles C. Thomas Publishing Company to identify information by and about the publication of Murphy's classic work was accomplished. The Archivist of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons (RACS, Helen Laffin) had key missing information regarding Dr. Murphy wherein resides his personal, historical library. Finally, the hospital where Murphy practiced, St. Vincent's Hospital's archivist, Barbara Cytowicz was an invaluable resource. RESULTS: Leonard Murphy rose to become Secretary (1952) and then president (1959) of the Urological Society of Australia. He had a genuine interest in the history of urology, writing almost a dozen underappreciated papers on the history of surgery. In 1973, John Herman published his little book on history, and Murphy promptly wrote him a congratulatory letter which we've reproduced for this paper. Murphy was a bibliophile, antiquarian collector of surgical instruments, and writer. CONCLUSIONS: Murphy becomes a real individual with the unearthing of his gifts enshrined in RACS and St. Vincent's Hospital archives and museum. Leonard J.T. Murphy in the opening paragraph of his 1972 work The History of Urology wrote the following: "The study of the history of medicine, a very rewarding exercise, is being appreciated to a much greater extent in recent years. Among the ever-increasing numbers of new books and reprints on the subject, one outstanding lack is a history of urology…This volume is intended to fill this gap until a more detailed and definitive history of urology is compiled by a medical historian." Anticipating his very own run, Murphy suspected that his history would quickly become a collector's item. Murphy appears to be a cautious, anticipatory type of historian and we await anxiously for the more "detailed and definitive" history of urology.

• Incidence and Risk Factors of Elder Mistreatment in the Community: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study

  Innovation in Aging · 2021-12-01

  articleOpen access

  Abstract Prior population-based elder mistreatment (EM) risk factor research has focused on problem prevalence using cross-sectional designs, which cannot make causal inferences between proposed risk factors and EM or discern existing cases from new cases entering the population. This study sought to estimate the incidence of EM and identify risk factors for new cases. It is a ten-year prospective, population-based cohort study with data collected between 2009 (Wave 1) and 2019 (Wave 2). Based on Wave 1 random, stratified sampling to recruit English/Spanish-speaking, cognitively intact, community-dwelling older adults (age ≥ 60) across New York State, this study conducted computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) with 628 respondents participating in both Wave 1 and Wave 2 interviews (response rate=60.7%). Ten-year EM incidence was regressed on factors related to physical vulnerability, living arrangement, and socio-cultural characteristics using logistic regression. Ten-year incidence rates included overall EM (11.4%), financial abuse (8.5%), emotional abuse (4.1%), physical abuse (2.3%), and neglect (1.0%). Poor self-rated health at Wave 1 significantly predicted increased risk of new Wave 2 overall EM (odds ratio [OR]=2.8), emotional abuse (OR=3.67), physical abuse (OR=4.21), and financial abuse (OR=2.8). Black older adults were at significantly heightened risk of overall EM (OR=2.61), specifically financial abuse (OR=2.8). Change from co-residence (Wave 1) toward living alone (Wave 2) significantly predicted financial abuse (OR=2.74). Healthcare visits represent important opportunities to detect at-risk older adults. Race is highlighted as an important social determinant for EM requiring urgent attention. This study represents the first longitudinal, population-based EM incidence study.

  Importance: Elder mistreatment is associated with major health and psychosocial consequences and is recognized by clinicians, policy makers, and researchers as a pervasive problem affecting a rapidly aging global population. Objective: To estimate the incidence of elder mistreatment and identify factors associated with the risk of new cases. Design, Setting, and Participants: This research is a 10-year, longitudinal, population-based, cohort study of the incidence of elder mistreatment in New York State households conducted between 2009 (wave 1) and 2019 (wave 2). At wave 1, random digit-dial (landline and cellular telephones) stratified sampling was done to recruit English-speaking and/or Spanish-speaking, cognitively intact, community-dwelling older adults (aged ≥60 years) across New York State. The current study conducted computer-assisted telephone interviews with older adults who participated in wave 1 and gave permission to be contacted again for wave 2 interviews (response rate, 60.7%). Data analysis was performed from October 2020 to January 2021. Exposures: Physical factors (health status, functional capacity, and age), living arrangement (coresidence), and sociocultural characteristics (sex, race/ethnicity, geocultural context, and household income). Main Outcomes and Measures: Ten-year incidence for overall elder mistreatment and subtypes (financial abuse, emotional or psychological abuse, physical abuse, and neglect) were measured using adapted versions of the Conflict Tactics Scale, the Duke Older Americans Resources and Services scale, and the New York State Elder Mistreatment Prevalence Study financial abuse tool. Results: The analytical sample included 628 older adults (mean [SD] age at wave 1, 69.20 [6.95] years; age at wave 2, 79.40 [6.93] years; 504 non-Hispanic White individuals [80.9%]; 406 women [64.6%]). Ten-year incidence rates were 11.4% (95% CI, 8.8%-14.3%) for overall elder mistreatment, 8.5% (95% CI, 6.3%-10.9%) for financial abuse, 4.1% (95% CI, 2.6%-5.7%) for emotional abuse, 2.3% (95% CI, 1.2%-3.6%) for physical abuse, and 1.0% (95% CI, 0.3%-1.8%) for neglect. Poor self-rated health at wave 1 was associated with increased risk at wave 2 of new overall mistreatment (odds ratio [OR], 2.86; 95% CI, 1.35-5.84), emotional abuse (OR, 3.67; 95% CI, 1.15-11.15), physical abuse (OR, 4.21; 95% CI, 1.14-13.70), and financial abuse (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.16-6.38). Compared with non-Hispanic White participants, Black participants were at heightened risk of overall mistreatment (OR, 2.61; 95% CI, 1.16-5.70) and financial abuse (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.09-6.91). A change from coresidence to living alone was associated with increased risk of financial abuse (OR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.01-7.21). Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that health care visits may be important opportunities to detect older adults who are at risk of mistreatment. Race is highlighted as an important social determinant for elder mistreatment requiring urgent attention.

  BACKGROUND: Prior research is limited and inconsistent on the degree to which elder mistreatment (EM) is associated with mortality. This study uses data from a 10-year, prospective, population-based study of EM to determine the adjusted effects of EM on older adult mortality, after controlling for other health and socioeconomic covariates. METHODS: The New York State Elder Mistreatment Prevalence Study conducted a random-sample telephone survey of older adults (n = 4 156) in 2009 (Wave 1). The current study employs EM and covariate data from Wave 1 and data on mortality status through Wave 2 (2019). EM was operationalized both as experiencing EM and as severity of EM. The survey measured overall EM and separate subtypes (emotional, physical, and financial abuse, and neglect). RESULTS: The hypothesis was not supported that abused and neglected older people would have higher rates of death over the study. Individuals who were victims of EM were no more likely to die over the following 10 years, compared with those who were not mistreated, after controlling for covariates. Furthermore, the severity of EM, as measured by the frequency of mistreatment behaviors, also was not associated with mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS: The finding that self-reported EM did not raise the risk of earlier death in this sample is encouraging. Future research should work to identify factors that may moderate the relationship between EM and mortality, such as social support/isolation, quality of family relationships, or involvement with formal support service systems.

• Sex Differences In Pulse Pressure Amplification Responses During Different Intensities Of Isometric Handgrip Exercise In Healthy Young Adults

  Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise · 2021-07-12

  article

  Pulse pressure amplification (PPA) refers to the elevated pulse pressure (PP) in the peripheral arteries relative to the central arteries and is the result of differences in vascular tone and time-dependent forward and reflected wave coupling within the arterial tree. PPA has been shown to predict sex differences in cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality risk in middle-aged and older populations. Although PPA has been shown to increase during dynamic exercise in men, no study has investigated sex differences in PPA response to different intensities of isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise. METHODS: A total of 14 healthy young adults, 7 men (27 1 years) and 7 women (25 1 years) participated in the study. Each participant engaged in IHG exercises for 2-minutes at 20%, 30%, and 40% of their maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Using a SphygmoCor device, radial artery tonometry was performed continuously throughout the experiment to collect PPA and other relevant peripheral and central hemodynamic data derived from the radial and estimated aortic waveforms. PPA is represented as a ratio of peripheral PP to central PP (radial PP/aortic PP). RESULTS: Baseline PPA values for all three intensities were not different between men and women (all P > 0.005). ΔPPA from baseline had significant group by time interaction during static HG exercise at 20% (P = 0.0418) and 30% (P = .0495) of MVC but not at 40% of MVC (P = 0.6701). Initially, ΔPPA increased in men and women from baseline to 30(s) at 20%, 30%, and 40% of MVC except in women at 30% of MVC. From 30(s) to 120(s), men and women had a decrease in ΔPPA for all HG intensities. The largest sex differences in ΔPPA observed at 120(s) at 20% and 30% of MVC trend toward significance (P = 0.1399 and P = 0.0517, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The data support that there are intensity-dependent sex differences in PPA responses to static exercise.

• Behavioral characteristics of maltreatment among runaway and homeless youth

  2021-09-17

  book-chapterSenior author

  This chapter presents some theoretical and empirical findings with regard to identifying behavioral indicators of maltreatment among runaway and homeless youth. It discusses the implications of these findings and how they can be used in assessing and serving maltreated and troubled adolescents. Several factors contribute to the under-reporting, or lack of recognition of adolescent maltreatment. Adolescents can escape maltreatment by running away from home, and indeed this appears to be the case for more and more of today’s runaway and homeless youth population. The sample was selected with the assistance of the Runaway and homeless youth program staff who identified those youth with a history of maltreatment. Identifying maltreatment among troubled youth is not an easy task, given that those behaviors frequently associated with abuse and neglect tends to be anti-social, self-destructive, and dysfunctional ones which could easily be misinterpreted. All professionals having contact with these youth need to understand the relationship between maltreatment and provocative adolescent behavior.

• An illustration of how program implementers can use population-specific analyses to facilitate the selection of evidence-based home visiting programs

  Psychosocial Intervention · 2017-02-28 · 2 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  Given that effective home visiting (HV) programs targeting at-risk families impact different outcomes and associations between risk factors and outcomes may vary across populations, program implementers should evaluate population-specific risk-outcome associations in order to interventions that are most likely to benefit families in target communities. We used data collected in a rural community in upstate New York (i.e., Elmira) and three standard statistical methods (i.e., bivariate, multivariate, and cumulative risk analyses) to assess associations between maternal socio-demographic risk factors and outcomes typically targeted with HV interventions. With the results, we illustrated how program implementers could use population-specific analyses of data collected prior to the implementation of HV interventions to interventions that may be most likely to benefit families in a target community. For example, our multivariate results suggested that lower socioeconomic families in Elmira were particularly at-risk for child maltreatment, poor family economic self-sufficiency, and poor child academic achievement, indicating that it may be particularly beneficial to implement HV programs that have been shown to affect these outcomes (e.g., Nurse Family Partnership and Parents as Teachers) in Elmira. We encourage program implementers to conduct similar population-specific analyses to help evidence-based HV interventions for their target communities.
