Bronchitis and Pneumonia In The Elderly

What is bronchitis?

It is the inflammation of the bronchi, which are the connections between the lungs and the trachea. In bronchitis, the bronchi are covered with mucus, preventing air from circulating naturally. This causes difficulty in breathing and a high-pitched sound. The alveoli are part of the bronchi, whose function is to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen. 

Aging and Geriatric Rehabilitation

Aging is not a disease. Scientists define it as a progressive and generalized impairment of function resulting in the loss of adaptive response to stress and increased risk of age related diseases. Most developed world countries, including the USA, have accepted the chronological age of 65 years as a definition of elderly or older person. The number of Americans aged 65 years and older continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. Elly Kleinman Americare Companies President, and CEO says that between 2015 and 2030, the number of older persons worldwide is set to increase from 901 million to more than 1.4 billion. By 2030, the number of people aged 60 and above will exceed the number of young people aged 15 to 24.

The Future of Healthcare Technology

During the past couple of years, the healthcare industry has undergone some massive technological changes and is continuing to evolve. According to research by Elly Kleinman, Americare Companies founder and current president, the healthcare industry will see a 21% increase in IT jobs by 2020. The demand for creative, effective use of health informatics, mobile technology, cloud systems, and digital diagnostics has spread across all health sectors. Some of the inventions are yet to be released because it takes a certain period to get them tested and approved.

The Lens of the Holocaust Victims

Elly Kleinman emphasizes the vital importance of teaching today's and tomorrow's generations the lessons of the Holocaust. For over 70 years the story of observant Jewish victims and the role of faith in the death camps has been overlooked. During lectures and tours, Elly Kleinman and the AAMM staff is planning on educating the public on the religious perspective of the Holocaust.

Holocaust history has to a large extent been about what occurred to the Jews. When focusing on the individual devastated by genocide, by default it becomes a perpetrator history. When you talk about what happened to the victim, the human story gets sublimated," said Elly Kleinman, Founder & President of the Amud Aish Memorial Museum (AAMM) & Kleinman Holocaust Education Center (KHEC) in Brooklyn.

Elly Kleinman on Treating Patients in Their Homes - Elly Kleinman

In fact, the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country in the world, and yet it is far worse in terms of infant mortality and life expectancy than other developed nations.

Keeping Faith in the Darkest Hours

With sincere feelings of deep pain we recall the holocaust victims, the innocent and brutally murdered Jews and other targeted groups, who were victims of the World War II genocide. Memorial days and organizations are meant so that these horrible events can never be forgotten. The Jewish community, represented with Elly Kleinman, a Holocaust Museum founder and a son of two Holocaust survivors, often promotes the Jewish tradition and culture, but also to preserve the monuments of the Jewish culture.

The Holocaust is something that we most certainly wish it had never happened, but unfortunately it did. Now it is up to us that we make sure that it will long be remembered, and never forget those open wounds which 71 years after the Holocaust still bleed, burn and hurt because of the loss of the loved ones. It is a curse that haunts and reminds us all, regardless of skin color, religion or nationality. While Kleinman was serving as the president of KFHEC, an organization and museum designed as a memorial to the Holocaust, which is now expanded and rebranded as The Amud Aish Memorial Museum, he heard so many different stories and testimonial, but what linked them all was the idea of maintaining their faith and observance in times of extraordinary adversity.

Inspired, and deeply touched by this guiding light that helped so many people keep their faith and maintain hope even in the darkest hours, Elly Kleinman started collecting original materials from the Holocaust period like documents, photographs, artworks and stories, and preserve them for future generations who will continue to honor the memory of a community that disappeared, and thus show just how high the price of hatred and intolerance can be.

The purpose of these archives is to preserve the visual recordings of witnesses and their direct and indirect memories of the pre-war Jewish community. The collection of testimonies, photos and photographic data has multiple goals: paying tribute to the Holocaust victims, preserving and looking after the memories of an active, fruitful and most importantly vital community that disappeared in the Holocaust, and enabling future training activities and education to Jewish and non-Jewish population.
