EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF GEMIFLOXACIN CONTAINING TREATMENT REGIMEN IN FIRST-LINE TREATMENT OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI.

•In eradication treatment of H. pylori gemifloxacin containing triple treatment regimen was as effective as bismuth containing quadruple treatment. •Drug adverse effects were fewer and milder in the gemifloxacin group.

Evaluation of the efficacy of using gnri and mis as a predictor of mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients.

Background: Malnutrition is one of the most common geriatric syndromes in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Although there is no gold standard for evaluating nutritional status in HD patients, the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) are widely used in clinical settings.

Aim: To examine the efficacy of using Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) as a predictor of mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients.

A new diagnostic approach in Alzheimer's disease: The critical flicker fusion threshold.

Unlabelled: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Although AD treatment is still insufficient despite all the recent developments, detection and treatment in the early stage of disease have provided more clinical benefits.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to use the critical flicker fusion (CFF) threshold test to diagnose AD in the early stage.

Relationship Between Age-Related Postural Hyperkyphosis and Sarcopenia.

Background: Hyperkyphosis is one of the commonly seen disabilities in the elderly. Loss of muscle mass and function is supposed to be related to age-related hyperkyphosis. We aimed to explain the relationship between sarcopenia and hyperkyphosis in old patients in this study.

Health-related quality of life and fall risk associated with age-related body composition changes; sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity.

Background: Sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity are various features of the ageing process that can cause important health issues. The present study was undertaken to investigate the interrelationship between those body composition changes, including their clinical components and the quality-of-life variables.

Methods: A total of 423 individuals aged 65 years or older was included in this cross-sectional study.
