Iron Deficiency in Heart Failure: Characteristics and Treatment
Current Geriatrics Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 196-205 - 2021
Iron deficiency in heart failure has been associated with impaired functional capacity and quality of life. The purpose of this paper is to review mechanisms of iron homeostasis and current clinical data exploring mechanisms of iron repletion in heart failure. Multiple international societies now advise iron repletion for symptomatic heart failure patients with iron deficiency. Due to the chronic ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pressure Ulcers: Evidence-Based Prevention and Management
Current Geriatrics Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 237-241 - 2015
There is limited good-quality research focused on the prevention and management of pressure ulcers. Current available evidence reveals that the following approaches may help to prevent pressure ulcers: the use of support surfaces such as specialized foam and specialized sheepskin overlays, mattress overlays on operating tables, consultation with a dietician to ensure adequate general nutrition, bu...... hiện toàn bộ

Current Geriatrics Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 19-25 - 2018
Dementia detection in the community is challenging. The purpose of this paper is to review methods of dementia screening and provide a useable algorithm for screening for dementia a variety of clinical settings. In recent years, a number of brief performance and informant-based assessments have been developed and validated in research, clinical, and community samples. These assessments are now com...... hiện toàn bộ
DNA Methylation in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Current Geriatrics Reports - Tập 1 - Trang 199-205 - 2012
Epigenetic mechanisms are essential in a host of biological processes and many different human diseases. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone modification, non-coding RNA, and nucleosome positioning. In neuronal systems, extensive studies have revealed important regulatory roles of DNA methylation in brain function, from the embryonic stage through the process of aging. Here w...... hiện toàn bộ
