AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Everyone ages-some more gracefully than others. The changes associated with aging are well known but not often discussed. Age-related changes in surgeons may eventually lead to a need for the surgeon to stop operating or even retire. It may be difficult for the surgeon to recognize these changes, but there may be some telltale signs. If the surgeon is not able to interpret that it is time to retire, others may need to step in. Physician assessment of surgeons may be requested or required by employers or hospital credentialing committees. Although not widespread, such practices are becoming more popular. There are modern means of assessment, which include written screening examinations and actual personal professional assessment by a qualified physician evaluator. If retirement or career change is necessary, it must be carefully planned and executed for the surgeon to bow out gracefully.

Inflammation plays a major role in cognitive aging. Most studies on peripheral inflammation and cognitive aging focused on selected major inflammatory biomarkers. However, inflammatory markers are regulated and influenced by each other, and it is therefore important to consider a more comprehensive panel of markers to better capture diverse immune pathways and characterize the overall inflammatory profile of individuals.

Purpose: Older people are at an increased risk of developing adverse drug reactions (ADR) and adverse drug events (ADE). This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model (ADAPTiP) for ADR/ADE in older populations.
Methods: We used the adverse drug reactions in an Ageing PopulaTion (ADAPT) cohort (N = 798; 361 ADR-related admissions; 437 non-ADR-related admissions), a cross-sectional study designed to examine the prevalence and risk factors for ADR-related hospital admissions in patients aged ≥ 65 years.
