A 16-week tai chi programme prevented falls in healthy older adults Review: postmenopausal hormone therapy increases risk of stroke and venous thromboembolism but not coronary heart disease events Review: long-term annual conversion rate to dementia was 3.3% in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment The Hopkins Verbal Learning Test had high sensitivity and good specificity for detecting mild dementia in older adults Review: counselling, pharmacotherapy, and surgery help obese adults lose weight Maintenance treatment with paroxetine, but not psychotherapy, prevented recurrent major depression in older people Merkel cell carcinoma; a rare, aggressive, cutaneous malignancy The assessment and treatment of a complex geriatric patient by an interprofessional primary care team My legs are getting old: sinvastatin-induced polyneuropathy Young stroke due to vascular anomaly from neurofibromatosis type 1 Enteral vancomycin and probiotic use for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus antibiotic-associated diarrhoea Septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: reconsidering traditional risk factors and symptoms in the elderly patient Hyperamylasaemia: pathognomonic to pancreatitis?

fractures in older people Accuracy of ECG interpretation in primary care was limited for detecting atrial fibrillation Review: exercise programmes prevent falls in elderly people Review: evidence is unclear that preventive home visits for elderly people in the community improve mortality or health outcomes Review: warfarin prevents stroke in non-rheumatic atrial fibrillation but has a higher risk for haemorrhage than other agents Shared decision-making at end-of-life is aided by graphical trending of illness severity Managing empyema in adults Review: falls can be prevented in older people, but interventions should be multifaceted and targeted Review: decision aids increase patients’ knowledge and realistic expectations and reduce decisional conflict A prediction rule identified patients with atrial fibrillation at low risk of stroke while taking aspirin Cognitive stimulation therapy improved cognition and quality of life in dementia Review: empirical atypical coverage does not reduce mortality in hospitalised patients with community acquired pneumonia Daily oral vitamin B-12 with or without folic acid for 24 weeks did not improve cognitive function in elderly people Atypical presentation of postoperative faecal peritonitis in an elderly patient The ‘hidden’ SAPHO syndrome An advance directive programme in nursing homes reduced health services use without affecting patient satisfaction Levodopa plus carbidopa before physiotherapy increased motor recovery after stroke Review: several non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical treatments may be effective in urinary incontinence A haemoglobin concentration of 140 g/l was associated with a lower mortality risk than concentrations ⩽120 g/l in older women with disabilities Review: cholinesterase inhibitors may be effective in Alzheimer’s disease Low dose iron supplementation was effective in older patients with iron deficiency anaemia Review: self report of hearing loss and the whispered voice test are useful for screening for hearing impairment Absolute risk of subsequent fracture was similar in women and men Sudden appearance and spontaneous regression of diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a man with a broken arm Spontaneous vaginal evisceration Testosterone supplementation did not prevent cognitive decline or increase bone mineral density in older men Multicomponent comprehensive care was as effective as usual care for decreasing major bleeding in older patients on warfarin Pravastatin lowered coronary disease risk in elderly persons with or at risk of vascular disease Review: elastic compression stockings prevent post-thrombotic syndrome in patients with deep venous thrombosis Cholesterol lowering with simvastatin reduced stroke in patients with, or at risk of, vascular disease Strontium ranelate reduced the risk of vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis Review: prophylactic use of vitamin D reduces falls in older persons Loop diuretics and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors increased risk of hospital admission for lithium toxicity Review: sedative hypnotics increase adverse effects more than they improve sleep quality in older persons with insomnia Encouraging influenza vaccination for nursing home staff reduced mortality and influenza like illness in the residents Atypical early onset of diabetes, deafness and lung cancer in a male patient with mitochondrial mutations in peripheral mononuclear cells A likely diagnosis of Crohn's disease in a 95-year-old woman All contraindications to thrombolysis for life-threatening pulmonary embolus should be considered relative Rehabilitation of lost vertical dimension with cast post core and cast partial denture Short scales were as effective as long scales in screening for depression in older patients Review: verteporfin plus photodynamic therapy reduces loss of vision in age related macular degeneration Sleep disruption following paramedian pontine stroke Delirium in a 74-year-old man: correct imaging revealed the truth Apathy syndrome treated successfully with modafinil Severe hypocalcaemia as a cause of seemingly idiopathic bilateral lower limb oedema Review: oral vitamin D prevents non-vertebral and hip fractures in a dose-dependent manner in patients ⩾65 years of age A combination of tests done in general practice could assess the risk for left ventricular systolic dysfunction Review: home visiting with multidimensional assessment and multiple visits is effective in low risk elderly people Subcutaneous and intravenous infusions were similarly well accepted, safe, and feasible in older patients with dehydration Rofecoxib did not slow progression of dementia in patients with established Alzheimer’s disease Lactic acidosis expediting a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia An aortoesophageal fistula in an elderly woman Oseltamivir was safe and effective for prophylaxis of influenza in the frail elderly Computed tomographic colonography without cathartic preparation performed well in detecting colorectal polyps Review: vitamin D plus calcium, but not vitamin D alone, prevents osteoporotic fractures in older people A once yearly IV infusion of zoledronic acid prevented fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis Is there an association between Vogt-Koyonagi-Harada syndrome and intracranial meningioma? Herpes zoster ophthalmicus progressing to encephalitis: beware pain preceding the rash Review: simple questions and clinical tests are moderately useful for diagnosing urinary incontinence A home based intervention reduced disability in physically frail older people Diagnosis of scabies by dermoscopy Subclavian stenosis was associated with an increase in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality at a mean of 9.4 years Oral anticoagulant therapy safely prevented stroke in older patients with atrial fibrillation A stepped-care prevention programme decreased depression and anxiety disorders in elderly patients High dose lisinopril was more effective than low dose for reducing combined mortality and cardiovascular events in congestive heart failure A care management intervention improved depression after stroke Septic polyarthritis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae: primary pneumococcal pneumonia as a risk factor in older patients?
