The prognostic value of clinical frailty scale and outcomes in older patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation

AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 257-263, December 2022., 2022
The main finding in our study is that Clinical Frailty Scale‐defined frailty status was predictive of 1‐year post‐interventional mortality after left ventricular assist device implantation. Abstract Objectives Heart failure impacts patients’ functional capabilities, ultimately leading to frailty.

Prescription analgesic overuse in older adults: Can we mitigate this growing problem?

AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 294-296, December 2022., 2022
With older adults already on numerous prescription medications to manage their chronic conditions, the addition of pain medications could impose an even greater burden due to dependency issues. We need to understand the use of chronic pain medication, especially opioids, discuss current strategies and gaps, and offer potential solutions to mitigate ...

Frailty and surgical outcomes in gastrointestinal cancer: Integration of geriatric assessment and prehabilitation into surgical practice for vulnerable patients

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 27-41, January 2023., 2023
Accumulating evidence demonstrates that the integration of preoperative geriatric assessment and prehabilitation for frail patients into clinical practice may improve perioperative and long‐term outcomes in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. We proposed an example for the integration of older patients‐specific care into treatment strategies for ...

Differences in prognosis and underuse of adjuvant chemotherapy between elderly and non‐elderly patients in stage III colorectal cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 91-101, January 2023., 2023
This study analyzed data from consecutive patients with stage III colorectal cancer following curative resection and examined the reason for not introducing adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) and the differences in prognosis between completed and incomplete AC in elderly and non‐elderly patients.

Current status of liver transplantation for non‐B non‐C liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 42-52, January 2023., 2023
Recently, the cases of LT for non‐B non‐C cirrhosis and HCC have been increasing in Japan as well as worldwide. Perioperative management of non‐B non‐C liver disease is problematic due to various risk factors, including alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome‐related risks, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus.

Otago Exercises Monitoring for Older Adults by a Single IMU and Hierarchical Machine Learning Models [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, vol. 32, pp. 462-471, 2024, 2023
Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is a rehabilitation program for older adults to improve frailty, sarcopenia, and balance. Accurate monitoring of patient involvement in OEP is challenging, as self-reports (diaries) are often unreliable. With the development of wearable sensors, Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems using wearable sensors have ...

Sex differences in body composition in youth with type 1 diabetes and its predictive value in cardiovascular disease risk assessment

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are more susceptible than men to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Signs of increased risk may already appear among adolescent girls. Objectives We explored the contribution of body composition to the development of CVD risk factors among youth with T1D.
