  "This is an innovative step to helping nursing home patients," said Dr. Joseph Ouslander, director of the Atlanta VA Rehab R&D Center of Excellence on Geriatric Rehabilitation, which supported development and pilot work for Quiet Curtains.Last year while studying nighttime incontinence management, the Rehab R&D Center began to examine environmental factors affecting patients' rest -- namely noise -- which led to Ahuja's involvement and invention.
  
  "Sleep for these people is very disrupted to begin with," explained Ouslander, who is also professor at Emory University's School of Medicine, director of its Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine and vice presdent of Emory's Wesley Woods Center."If there is any environmental intervention we can do to improve their night rest, it would result in a better quality of life," added Ouslander.

  For example, Dr. Joseph Ouslander, founding director of the Boca Raton Community Hospital's Boca Institute for Quality Aging, noted a recent case of a man in his late 80s who appeared well until about six months ago and then started declining.
  
  The man suddenly lost about 30 pounds and seemed listless.He had hypertension, arthritis, mild diabetes and a history of heart problems, and was taking about a dozen medicines.
  
  Ouslander said the difference between how he would handle the case and how many internists would handle a similar case is that he would look not only for a new medical problem that had affected the man, but also would attempt to determine whether the man was in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease; whether he was being over- or under-medicated; and whether the interaction of his drugs was causing an adverse reaction.
  
  In addition, Ouslander said he would meet with the man's wife - his primary caregiver - to try to determine the best psychological, social and medical treatment.His solution might involve trying to place the man in a different setting where he can receive better care.
  
  While an internist typically spends about 10 minutes in direct contact with a patient, Ouslander said a patient such as this man could take an hour or more per visit.Geriatricians also spend a large amount of time consulting with the adult children of their patients, he said.
  
  "We're not aiming to cure diseases, we're ... trying to improve their quality of life," said Ouslander, whose institute launched in January in collaboration with Florida Atlantic University and the University of Miami.
  ...
  Ouslander will be an assistant dean at the new FAU medical school and will develop a curriculum beginning next year that will rotate prospective doctors through geriatric medicine in addition to other specialties.
  
  A former president of the American Geriatrics Society, Ouslander said he recently moved to the area from Emory University for the opportunity to train medical students in geriatrics.
  
  "The alternative to certifying more geriatricians is to train all physicians in the key principles of geriatrics," Ouslander said.

  JOSEPH G. OUSLANDER, MD: Some of the newer drugs that are available for treatment of overactive bladder don't interact with all the types of muscarinic receptors you have in your body, so there are some theoretic advantages to blocking certain types of muscarinic receptors in your body, but not others.
