The Future History of Geriatrics: Geriatrics at the Crossroads [PDF]

The Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2002
C ONTEXT Geriatrics has had a hard time deciding just what it wants to be when it grows up. An early concept of geriatrics equated it primarily with caring for persons in long-term care (1). A major effort to predict the need for geriatrically trained personnel envisioned geriatrics as primarily consisting of specialists who would handle complex cases ...

CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.
