The aim of the study was to assess the correlations between the acute confusing syndrome and different comorbidities found in a group of 126 elderly patients with this diagnosis, who were admitted to the Neurology Clinic of the Neuropsychiatry Hospital of Craiova. The main syndromes highlighted at the neurological examination were confusing, pyramidal and vestibular syndromes. The acute confusing syndrome has a multifactorial etiology, due to the wide range of comorbidities encountered in elderly patients. In our study the most frequent comorbidities were cardiovascular pathology, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cerebrovascular renal, hepatic pathology.

Diabetes Melitus

O Pênfigóide bolhoso (PB) é uma bulose autoimune, mais comum em idosos, caracterizada por bolhas subepidérmicas, tensas e grandes. Este trabalho apresenta uma paciente idosa, portadora de Diabetes melitus e Hipertensão arterial sistêmica, com queixa de bolhas difusas pelo corpo. Ao exame laboratorial demonstrou eosinofilia de 742/mm3 e aumento de IgE equivalente a 469 kU/L; anatomopatológico com bolha subepidérmica e infiltrado inflamatório rico em eosinófilos; e imunofluorescência com imunodepósitos na junção dermo-epidérmica constituídos por IgG e C3. Mediante esses achados, paciente recebeu diagnóstico de PB. Devido as comorbidades apresentadas, a corticoterapia não foi a primeira opção, a tetraciclina apresentou falha terapêutica e a dapsona 100mg/dia, por 6 meses, foi resolutiva. Conclui-se que cada paciente deve ter seu manejo individualizado para melhores resultados. Palavras-chave: penfigóide bolhoso; bulose; doença autoimune. ABSTRACT Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bulge, more common in the elderly, characterized by subepidermal, tense and large blisters. This study presents an elderly patient with diabetes mellitus and systemic arterial hypertension, with diffuse blisters on the body. Laboratory examination showed eosinophilia of 742/mm3 and an increase of IgE equivalent to 469 kU/L; anatomopathological with subepidermal bubble and inflammatory infiltrate rich in eosinophils; and immunofluorescence with immunodeposits at the dermo-epidermal junction consisting of IgG and C3. Based on these findings, the patient was diagnosed with BP. Due to the comorbidities of the patient, corticotherapy was not the first option, tetracycline presented therapeutic failure, and dapsone 100mg / day for 6 months was resolution. It is concluded that each patient should have their individualized management for best results. Keywords: Ashy pemphigoid; bulge; autoimune disease.

Age Related

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a major health burden for the elderly population, affecting approximately 25% of people over the age of 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase dramatically in the next decades in relation to the increased longevity of the population observed in recent years. Beyond microvascular and macrovascular complications, sarcopenia has been described as a new diabetes complication in the elderly population. Increasing attention has been paid by researchers and clinicians to this age-related condition—characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass together with the loss of muscle power and function—in individuals with T2DM; this is due to the heavy impact that sarcopenia may have on physical and psychosocial health of diabetic patients, thus affecting their quality of life. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an update on: (1) the risk of sarcopenia in individuals with T2DM, and (2) its association with relevant features of patients with T2DM such as age, gender, body mass index, disease duration, glycemic control, presence of microvascular or macrovascular complications, nutritional status, and glucose-lowering drugs. From a clinical point of view, it is necessary to improve the ability of physicians and dietitians to recognize early sarcopenia and its risk factors in patients with T2DM in order to make appropriate therapeutic approaches able to prevent and treat this condition.

Bed Height

Elderly patient falls are expensive and may cause serious harm. Studies have identified the sit-to-stand-and-walk (STSW) task as the task where the greatest number of elderly patient falls occur. There is a great need to identify the particular movement and environmental conditions that lead to these elderly patient falls. This study begins to address this gap by evaluating the elderly patient during self-selected hospital bed egress. Using an observed fall risk episode (FRE) as a fall proxy, statistically significant parameters were identified which include bed height, pausing prior to initiating gait, level of fall risk, and Stand phase. Low bed height was identified as the least safe bed height. Patient-specific bed height (PSBH) using the patient’s lower leg length (LLL) is recommended. In addition, suggested guidelines are presented for clinical application in setting PSBH without measuring the patient’s LLL.
