Conclusion: supine haemodynamic measures derived from transthoracic ICG can simply, non-invasively and sensitively differentiate HUT-positive patients from those with negative tilt tests.

A Census-based longitudinal study of variations in survival amongst residents of nursing and residential homes in Northern IrelandEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: the high mortality in care homes indicates that places in care homes are reserved for the most severely ill and dependent. Death rates may not be an appropriate care quality measure for this population, but may serve as a useful adjunct for clinical staff and the planning of care home provision. (Source: Age and Ageing)

Perceptions of active ageing in Britain: divergences between minority ethnic and whole population samplesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Policy models of active ageing were reflected in lay views, although the latter had a more multidimensional focus. Lay definitions of active ageing were also more dynamic, compared with definitions of quality of life and successful ageing. Differences in self-rated active ageing and perceptions of this concept by ethnic group need further exploration. (Source: Age and Ageing)

Modified diet in renal disease method overestimates renal function in selected elderly patientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: MDRD overestimated renal function as age increased. While CGopt underestimated renal function, this was of a smaller magnitude, consistent across age, and thus better suited for dose calculation, especially in the elderly. Larger-scale studies using gold standard markers of renal function estimation are urgently needed to determine the accuracy of MDRD in elderly hospitalised patients. (Source: Age and Ageing)

Results of carotid sinus massage in a tertiary referral unit--is carotid sinus syndrome still relevant?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: CSH was diagnosed in 25% of patients investigated with CSM at our specialist unit, lower than the prevalence of 39% reported for community-dwelling older individuals. This discrepancy may be explained by selection bias and demographic differences, but raises the possibility of CSH being an age-related epiphenomenon rather than a causal mechanism for syncope, drop attacks and unexplained falls. Our observations have important implications for clinical practice and the development of future research strategies. (Source: Age and Ageing)

Cognitive performance in community-dwelling English- and Spanish-speaking seniorsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: we found little difference in performance on the Story A subtests from the WMS suggesting that this test may be used for both English- and Spanish-speaking populations. Results suggest that variations in ANT performance may be accounted for by adjusting for the level of education. These results have important implications for the generalisability of test scores among diverse older populations. (Source: Age and Ageing)

Recovery in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs): findings from the Medical Research Council Cognitive Function and Ageing Study (MRC CFAS)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: a minority of participants reporting disability at baseline then reported independent function at 2 years. It may be important to focus on those who seem least likely to recover once they have become disabled. Several factors that have been shown to increase the risk of disability were inversely associated with recovery, suggesting that intervention programmes could target these same factors.

The accuracy of plasma natriuretic peptide levels for diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction and chronic heart failure in community-dwelling elderly: a systematic reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: we found limited evidence supporting the use of plasma natriuretic peptide measurement for diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction or heart failure in the elderly of 75 years and over in the general population.

Retinal drusen: harbingers of age, safe havens for troubleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Drusen are small focal extracellular deposits underneath the retina, visible ophthalmoscopically as yellow dots. The more hard drusen there are, the greater the risk of developing soft drusen and retinal pigmentary changes, which in turn increase the risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration. Much remains to be discovered about drusen. For the patient with drusen, basic advice on diet and smoking and maintenance of a high level of vigilance for visual changes is appropriate management.

Unilateral breast oedema in a case of non-rheumatic giant left atriumEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Giant left atrium (GLA) is a well-described entity in association with rheumatic heart disease. However, mitral valve prolapse is an extremely unusual cause of GLA, especially without the compressive symptoms it can often accompany. We discuss a case of a 78-year-old lady with no prior history of rheumatic heart disease with these findings with the unusual presentation of accompanied unilateral breast oedema as a manifestation of heart failure. This case illustrates the investigations and treatment options for GLA and the need for prompt assessment as it increases the risk of sudden death; therefore, its presence warrants ...
