  • Medical Instruments and Devices

CONT

Smaller than a pack of gum, the Reveal insertable loop recorder is inserted just beneath the skin in the upper chest area in a brief outpatient procedure that typically takes 15 to 20 minutes. The Reveal insertable loop recorder continuously monitors the rate and rhythm of the heart. It works much like a black box in an airplane, whereby vital information is recorded during the actual fainting episode and can be played back later for detailed analysis. The Reveal insertable loop recorder can continuously record the heart's rate and rhythm for up to 14 months.

Universities of the Third Age (U3As) provide learning opportunities for older adults who are largely free of work and family responsibilities. Worldwide, they typically take on two forms (Swindell 1997): the French model (based on the first U3A founded in 1973) is university based and offers formal courses; the British model, arising in Cambridge in 1981, emphasizes informal, autonomous slef-help groups in which the instructors are usually thrid-agers themselves, not college professors.

CONT

In 2000-2001, close to 5,500 seniors took part in over 380 training activities offered by one of the 26 regional branches of the Université du troisième âge, totalling over 166,000 training hours.
