Organoid models: the future companions of personalized drug development.

High failure rates of the current drug development process are driving exemplary changes toward methodologies centered on human diseasemodeling. Organoids are self-organized tissue sub-units resembling their organ of origin and are widely acknowledged for their unique potential in recapitulating human physio-pathological mechanisms. They are transformative for human health by becoming the platform of choice to probe disease mechanisms and advance new therapies.

[Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region].

Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region. Polypharmacy and cardiovascular medication usage are risk factors for falls in the elderly. This study included subjects aged 75 and over, admitted in the emergency department for falls, based on evaluation data of professional practices carried out in the Nord Alpine region by the French Network of North-Alps Emergency Departments (Réseau Nord Alpin des Urgences, RENAU).

Satisfaction survey of general practitioners calling upon an external mobile geriatric team.

The external mobile geriatric team (équipe mobile de gériatrie extrahospitalière [EMGEH]) at the University Hospital of Grenoble-Alps intervenes with elderly subjects in complex medical and social situations at home at the request of general practitioners (GPs). To evaluate the satisfaction of GPs after EMGEH intervention. The secondary outcomes were the follow-up of recommendations and training requests from community care partners.

[Satisfaction survey about general practitioners who used an External Mobile Geriatric Team].

Context: The External Mobile Geriatric Team (EMGT) of the University Hospital of Grenoble-Alps (UHGA) intervenes with elderly subjects in a complex medicosocial situation at home at the request of the general practitioner (GPs).

Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction of GPs after EMGT intervention. The secondary outcomes were the follow-up of recommendations and the training request of community partners.

Management of preoperative pain in elderly patients with moderate to severe cognitive deficits and hip fracture: a retrospective, monocentric study in an orthogeriatric unit.

Background: Patients with cognitive deficits are 3 times more likely to suffer a hip fracture than geriatric patients of the same age group without cognitive deficits. The persistence of perioperative pain following hip fracture is a risk factor for the occurrence of delirium, poor functional prognosis, and the development of secondary chronic pain. Patients with cognitive deficits receive 20 to 60% less analgesics than those without cognitive deficits.
