Article Synopsis
- * Key risk factors identified include age, substance use, sensory impairments, low BMI, past falls, weakness, and chronic diseases like stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
- * The research suggests that certain changeable risk factors should be addressed by health policymakers to enable early interventions and reduce the incidence of hip fractures among the elderly.
Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is known as the intermediate stage between normal cognitive aging and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Although elderly with SCD usually perform close to normal in standardized tests, the detailed function of attention networks in this group has not been studied yet.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of attention networks, as a possible indicator of cognitive disorder, in older individuals with subjective memory complaint and MCI.
Objectives: In early January 2021 an outbreak of nosocomial cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in Western France; RT-PCR tests were repeatedly negative on nasopharyngeal samples but positive on lower respiratory tract samples. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) revealed a new variant, currently defining a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) lineage B.1.

Materials And Methods: This observational study was conducted at Ziaiyan Hospital, Tehran, Iran.
Aims: Polypharmacy increase the risk of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in the elderly population living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Several expert databases can be used to evaluate DDIs. The aim of the study was to describe actual DDIs between antiretroviral drugs and comedications in an elderly population and to compare grading of the DDIs in 3 databases.
