Hydrological cycles are responsible for the accumulation Cooling is an additionalįactor in the precipitation of the disseminated potash salts. It was found thatĭisseminated potash salts precipitate through the slow evaporation of intercrystalline brine. Model, the formation mechanisms of potash salts have been studied and described in this article. Geochemical processes and geomorphology in and around the lake, and using the specific interaction solubility Through the investigation of the sediments, hydrological cycles, Of potash salts: disseminated, stratoid and layered. In this lake, there are three different occurrences The National Laboratory of Mineral Deposit Research, Department of Earth Sciences,Ībstract: The Qarhan Saline Lake is now in the stage ìplaya lakeî, where brine lakes and a dry salt plain coexist.Īlthough an inland lake, it has large amount of marine-type salts.

Also, our findings will indicate a need to develop individualized monitoring programs for this ever-growing older population.The accumulation of potash in a continental basin:ġ. Conclusion: The findings will extend our understanding of the prevalence of psychotherapeutic misuse and the impact of medication beliefs on medication taking in older adults. We hypothesize a moderate correlation between medication beliefs and psychotherapeutic medication use. Preliminary findings indicate 25% of participants did not take their psychotherapeutic medications as prescribed. Results: We expect that a total of 60 older adults will participate in this study. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation will be utilized for analysis. Measures include Mini Mental State Exam, the Beliefs about Medications Questionnaire, the self-report Medication Adherence Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. Older adults are excluded if they are not able to communicate, have significant memory impairment (Mini Mental Status Examination score of less than 24), or do not have collateral informants to provide information. Participants are recruited from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center at Buffalo. Method: This study is a cross-sectional design. Purpose: This ongoing study aims to examine the relationship between beliefs about medications and use of psychotherapeutic medications for older adults. However, little is known about how older adults’ medication beliefs impact their use of psychotherapeutic medications. Research suggests that older adults are at high risk for the misuse of psychotherapeutic drugs.
These drugs can alter brain activity and are highly addictive. VA Western New York Healthcare System, Buffalo, New York Background: Older adults are frequently prescribed psychotherapeutic drugs including opioids (pain relievers), central nervous system (CNS) depressants (tranquilizers and sedatives), and stimulants.
