Background: As the older population increases, the need for early detection of cognitive decline is also increasing. In this study, we examined whether our paper-pencil type group examination for cognitive assessment (PAPLICA) could detect the effects of years of education and aging.
Methods: PAPLICA was conducted on 829 older people.
Purpose: Venous pain induced by peripheral intravenous infusion of gemcitabine has remained an unresolved issue in clinical practice. This study aimed to identify differences between gemcitabine formulations as well as risk factors associated with gemcitabine-induced venous pain in patients with cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from consecutive patients with cancer who had received chemotherapy including a lyophilized or liquid formulation of gemcitabine diluted with 5% glucose solution via a peripheral vein.
