In men and women with COPD the presence of urinary incontinence is associated with poorer quality of life
Commentary on: Hrisanfow E, Hägglund D. Impact of cough and urinary incontinence on quality of life in women and men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. J Clin Nurs 2013;22:97–105. Implications for practice and research The combination of coughing, as a result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and urinary incontinence (UI), can adversely affect quality of life. Healthcare providers must actively screen for UI in patients who smoke, have a chronic cough and/or who are diagnosed with COPD, as early treatment may improve quality of life. Context It is estimated that worldwide, over 200 milli...

A claims data-based comparison of comorbidity in individuals with and without dementia
Conclusion: Besides strengthening the evidence on accepted dementia risk factors and sequelae, the analyses point to particular conditions that are likely to remain untreated or even undiagnosed. This issue seems to affect male and female individuals with dementia to varying degrees. Raising awareness of these conditions is important to possibly preventing comorbidity-associated complications and disease progression in dementia patients. To more comprehensively understand the mutual interactions between dementia and comorbidity, further research on diagnostic and treatment attitudes regarding comorbidity in dementia patien...

Do No Harm: Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery review
Patients see neurosurgeons as gods, but what is the reality? Henry Marsh has written a memoir of startling candourWe go to doctors for help and healing; we don't expect them to make us worse. Most people know the aphorism taught to medical students, attributed to the ancient Greek Hippocrates but timeless in its quiet sanity: "First, do no harm." But many medical treatments do cause harm: learning how to navigate the risks of drug therapies, as well as the catastrophic consequences of botched or inadvised surgical operations, is a big part of why training doctors takes so long. Even the simplest of therapies carries the ri...

Emphysematous cystitis: An atypical multi-organism presentation.
Abstract An 84-year-old diabetic women receiving in-hospital stroke management began suffering from vague lower abdominal pain, increased urge incontinence and gross hematuria. Physical examination revealed suprapubic tenderness and a tympanic bladder. A computed tomography confirmed a distended bladder with gas foci delineating the bladder wall. Microbiology revealed an atypical multi-organism presentation of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterococcus species. Emphysematous cystitis is characterized by air within the bladder wall often found in elderly diabetic females. Predominant organisms include Escherichia coli ...

Progressive limbic encephalopathy: Problems and prospects
Conclusion: All patients who present with new onset neuropsychiatric symptoms need to be evaluated for sub-acute infections, inflammation, autoimmune limbic encephalitis and paraneoplastic syndrome. A repeated 20 minute EEG is a very effective screening tool to detect organicity.

NIH state-of-the-science conference statement on prevention of fecal and urinary incontinence in adults.
CONCLUSIONS: (1) Fecal incontinence and urinary incontinence will affect more than one fourth of all U.S. adults during their lives. The natural history of fecal incontinence is unknown, and the natural history of urinary incontinence over several years is not well described. (2) Fecal incontinence and urinary incontinence often have serious effects on the lives of the many individuals who suffer physical discomfort, embarrassment, stigma, and social isolation, and on family members, caregivers, and society. Financial costs are substantial and may be underestimated because of underreporting. (3) Routine episiotomy is the m...

Risk Factors for Falls in Older Korean Adults: The 2011 Community Health Survey.
In conclusion, age, female sex, marital status, residence location, self-rated health, stress, and several chronic conditions were significantly associated with the risk for falls in the older Korean adults. Our findings suggest that these risk factors should be addressed in public health policies for preventing falls. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: PMID: 25408578 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dynamic State of Water Molecular Displacement of the Brain during the Cardiac Cycle in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has been characterized as a chronic communicating hydrocephalus in elderly patients with the clinical triad gait disturbance, dementia, and incontinence [1–3]. The clinical symptoms of both secondary and idiopathic NPH (iNPH) can be reversed by the removal of the accumulated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [3]. Secondary NPH can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage, trauma, and stroke. Although numerous investigations have attempted to clarify the underlying mechanism of and to diagnose iNPH, its exact causes remain poorly understood.

Evidence of and recommendations for non-pharmacological interventions for common geriatric conditions: the SENATOR-ONTOP systematic review protocol
Introduction Non-pharmacological therapies for common chronic medical conditions in older patients are underused in clinical practice. We propose a protocol for the assessment of the evidence of non-pharmacological interventions to prevent or treat relevant outcomes in several prevalent geriatric conditions in order to provide recommendations. Methods and analysis The conditions of interest for which the evidence about efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions will be searched include delirium, falls, pressure sores, urinary incontinence, dementia, heart failure, orthostatic hypotension, sarcopaenia and stroke. For ea...
