: A degenerative joint disease that primarily affects elderly individuals, osteoarthritis (OA) causes pain, decreased mobility, and a lower quality of life. Procaine is regarded as a "veteran" medicine due to its extensive clinical use, although it remains a molecule of interest, as researchers are uncovering new biological and pharmacological effects through innovative experimental methods. This study evaluates the efficacy of the "procaine complex", developed in our country, in alleviating pain and improving functionality in elderly individuals with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a significant impact on public health and healthcare expenditures in the United States (US).
Methods: We used data from the CDC WONDER database from 1999-2020 to identify trends in the IHD-related mortality of patients ≥ 75 years in the US. AAMRs per 100,000 population and APC were calculated and categorized by year, sex, race, and geographic divisions.

Background And Objectives: The Everyday Cognition Scale (ECog) is widely employed for the subjective rating of functional activities of daily living in older adults. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of both informant-rated and self-rated ECog in Taiwanese older individuals to assess its applicability in this context.
Research Design And Methods: A total of 1166 subjects, including older adults (n = 583) and their primary caregivers or family members (n = 583), were recruited.

Background/aims: Data from Asia regarding the short-term and long-term outcomes for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) are limited. We assessed the outcomes of ASUC, identified the risk factors for colectomy, and compared colectomy rates between the pre-biologics and post-biologics eras in Taiwan.
Methods: The patients with an ASUC diagnosis between January 2013 and March 2022 at 5 tertiary medical centers were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Deaths related to falls are a substantial public health problem worldwide, and insight into trends and differences in global fall-related deaths can be valuable for identifying prevention strategies and developing effective policies. Thus, we aimed to estimate global fall-related mortality rate trends and forecast future fall-related deaths.
Methods: In this global time-series analysis and modelling study, we investigated temporal trends in fall-related mortality rates from 1990 to 2021 using the WHO Mortality Database, following the GATHER guidelines, and forecasted trends until 2040 across 59 high-income and upper-middle-income countries.
