ConclusionsIdentifying and classifying the nature and degree of language impairment more closely could aid in developing targeted therapies. Treatments already established in other aphasic states, such as post‐stroke, may be especially relevant. The nature of these and the protective nature of cognitive reserve are potential therapeutic avenues. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (Source: International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry)

Source: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics Area: Evidence > Medicines Management > References Opioids are the mainstay of treatment for moderate to severe pain.  However, opioid therapy in the elderly is often associated with significant morbidity because of excessive ventilatory depression.  The large amount of interindividual variability in opioid dose-response relationships makes it difficult to individualise the dose and dosing interval to provide safe and effective analgesia.  By examining how aging affects the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of opioids, it is possible to pr...

Conclusions:Geriatric cochlear implant patients have a similar learning curve to the younger adults and in speech tests in quiet show a comparable performance. However their performance is significantly lower in noisy surroundings. This may be due to the central presbycusis in patients older than 70 years and should be taken into account in postoperative fitting of geriatric patients. Further prospective studies are required to evaluate the role of special rehabilitation methods and cognitive training to improve the speech perception in noise in geriatric CI patients.

CSF Levels of Hypocretin-1 (Orexin-A) Peak during Early Infancy in Humansemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:The present findings indicate that in human infants, CSF hypocretin-1 increases during the third embryonic trimester and is highest at 4 months of life. Thereafter, and consistent with previously published results, hypocretin levels are lower and stable until the geriatric age. This pattern may reflect the role of hypocretin in the dramatic process of sleep and wakefulness consolidation that occurs during early infancy.Citation:Aran A; Shors I; Lin L; Mignot E; Schimmel MS.
