Background: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) leads to hospitalizations and functional decline in older adults. Although cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is effective for stable heart failure, its impact on ADHF patients, particularly those without frailty, is unclear.
Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early in-hospital CR for patients hospitalized with ADHF who are not frail.

: Spinal Phenol IN Glycerol (SPING) block is a novel palliative pain treatment for the non-operative management of proximal femur fractures (PFFs) in older adults living with frailty. Effective pain management that aligns with patient preferences and minimizes opioid use is critical in this setting. This study evaluated the patient, safety, and process outcomes of SPING block in this population.

Frailty is a common condition among older individuals and is associated with increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the impact of viral infections on frail populations. The present work aimed to determine frailty, functional and cognitive status, and clinical analysis of older persons in a long-term care facility in Chile, before and following the outbreak of COVID-19.

BACKGROUND As the population ages, comorbidities among elderly patients are becoming a significant problem, due to associated risks and mortality. Medication adherence is crucial for controlling chronic diseases and improving patient outcomes; therefore, it is important to understand medication adherence among hospitalized patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to April 2024 in 2 tertiary hospitals in Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China.

Background And Purpose: Adopting telemedicine (TM) enables improved access to specialized care and reduces barriers. The aim was to assess the cost-utility of a coadjutant multidisciplinary TM programme for fall prevention compared to standard in-office visits for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Methods: This was an 8-month single-blind randomized controlled trial.
