Examining potentially inappropriate prescribing in residential care using the STOPP/START criteria

Regarding PPO, the omission of aspirin and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors where clinically indicated was noted. The STOPP/START criteria could be used in multidisciplinary clinical reviews to help improve the medicine therapy in older people living in the residential care setting.

Critical analytical evaluation of promising markers for sarcopenia
Publication date: Available online 8 December 2015 Source:European Geriatric Medicine Author(s): E. Cavalier, C. Beaudart, F. Buckinx, O. Bruyère, J.-Y. Reginster We tested and validated irisin (IRI), myostatin (MYO), PIIINP, osteoglycin (OGN), TMEM119 (TMEM) and activin A (AA) and established the analytical performance, reference range and stability (considered unstable if more than 20% increase/decrease in the levels was observed in more than 10% of the samples). We were unable to obtain a valuable calibration curve with the Cusabio kits (TMEME and OGN). Coefficient of variation (CV) was too high for IRI (...
