Rates of 30-day revisit to the emergency department among older adults living with dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Older adults visit emergency departments (EDs) at higher rates than their younger counterparts. However, less is known about the rate at which older adults living with dementia visit and revisit EDs. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the revisit rate to the ED among older adults living with a dementia diagnosis.

Older Adults, the "Social Admission," and Nonspecific Complaints in the Emergency Department: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: Older adults have a higher visit rate and poorer health outcomes in the emergency department (ED) compared to their younger counterparts. Older adults are more likely to require additional resources and hospital admission. The nonspecific, atypical, and complex nature of disease presentation in older adults challenges current ED triage systems.

BMI-for-Age and Weight-for-Length in Children 0 to 2 Years.

Objectives: To determine the agreement between weight-for-length and BMI-for-age in children 0 to <2 years by using research-collected data, examine factors that may affect agreement, and determine if agreement differs between research- and routinely collected data.

Methods: Cross-sectional data on healthy, term-born children (n = 1632) aged 0 to <2 years attending the TARGet Kids! practice-based research network in Toronto, Canada (December 2008-October 2014) were collected. Multiple visits for each child were included.

Guanidinoacetate is more effective than creatine at enhancing tissue creatine stores while consequently limiting methionine availability in Yucatan miniature pigs.

Creatine (Cr) is an important high-energy phosphate buffer in tissues with a high energy demand such as muscle and brain and is consequently a highly consumed nutritional supplement. Creatine is synthesized via the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) dependent methylation of guanidinoacetate (GAA) which is not regulated by a feedback mechanism. The first objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of GAA at increasing tissue Cr stores.
