Toileting behaviors, urinary cues, overactive bladder, and urinary incontinence in older women.
Published in International urogynecology journal
Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are prevalent in older women. We investigated relations of toileting behaviors and urinary urge cues to OAB and UI in women ≥ 65 years. We tested mediation hypotheses that toileting behaviors lead to higher sensitivity to urinary urge cues (the mediator), which leads to both OAB and UI. An e-pa...
The impact of age on long-term survival following gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Published in Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
Gastrectomy remains the primary curative treatment modality for patients with gastric cancer. Concerns exist about offering surgery with a high associated morbidity and mortality to elderly patients. The study aimed to evaluate the long-term survival of patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy comparing patients aged

The challenge of territorial hospital groups is to develop coherent care pathways for optimal patient care. Following the creation of a territorial pharmaceutical team, a common prescription review process was initiated in our health area. The objective of this study is to analyze the uses of statins in the elderly. The study included all statin-tr...
Safety and Efficacy of Low-dose Prasugrel in the Endovascular Treatment of Unruptured Aneurysms in the Elders (≥ 75 Year...
Published in Clinical neuroradiology
The effectiveness and safety of low-dose prasugrel (PSG) premedication for endovascular treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) have been widely reported. In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of elders patients (≥ 75 years) treated with PSG. A total of 200 patients with 209 UIAs who were administered PSG as premedication ...
Implementation fidelity of a multifactorial in-hospital fall prevention program and its association with unit systems fa...
BACKGROUND: Falls are a common, costly global public health burden. In hospitals, multifactorial fall prevention programs have proved effective in reducing falls' incidence; however, translating those programs accurately into daily clinical practice remains challenging. This study's aim was to identify ward-level system factors associated with impl...

The incidence of these fractures is increasing with the growing older adult population. The current standard of care is non-surgical management; however, patients with this injury are at risk of long-term immo...

BackgroundThe 2019 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) have recently proposed sarcopenia definitions. However, comparisons of the performance of these approaches in terms of thresholds employed, concordance in individuals and prediction of important health-rela...
White matter microstructural correlates of associative learning in the oldest-old.
The ability to learn associations between events is critical for everyday functioning (e.g., decision making, social interactions) and has been attributed to structural differences in white matter tracts connecting cortical regions to the hippocampus (e.g., fornix) and striatum (e.g., internal capsule) in younger-old adults (ages 65-85 years). Howe...
