Article Synopsis
- Esogastric cancers commonly affect patients over 75, yet there's a lack of specific guidelines for their treatment, which is crucial due to the cancers' poor prognosis.
- Optimizing care through personalized approaches like geriatric assessments, prehabilitation, and minimally invasive surgeries can enhance treatment outcomes and reduce morbidity.
- Adaptations to treatment such as dose reductions for chemotherapy and exploring immunotherapy may benefit older patients, highlighting the need for better supportive care and further research in this demographic.
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with a 3-fold mortality risk, which is closely related to advancing age. Evidence is lacking regarding the factors associated with the risks of mortality or nursing-home (NH) admission, in elderly patients with PD. We aimed at identifying the clinical characteristics associated with these outcomes, in older community-dwelling patients with late-onset PD.

The main objective of our study was to estimate the prevalence of the overuse of antidepressants in this population and the factors associated with this.
Methodology: a single-centre, prospective, cross-sectional study carried out at the Bretonneau outpatient department between 1 December 2014 and 31 May 2015.
