Medical Advances

Due to medical advances, life expectancy is getting longer andlonger. Consequently the elderly population is growing and newchallenges will be faced in the coming decades. In this context, thispaper presents the development of a monitoring system for theelderly. The system includes a wearable device to detect falls, apanic button to be activated if the user feels unwell, and a speakerthat beeps when medication is required. If the wearable deviceidentifies a fall or detects panic button activation, an alert messageis automatically sent to the mobile device of the responsible for theelderly. The expected result of this project is to efficiently monitorthe elderly and to promote the quality of life and safety for elderlyover 60 years.

Removable Prosthesis

AbstractSaliva is known as the mirror of the body. It is not only essential for retention of removable prosthesis but also protects the oral mucosa from injury by its lubricating effect. Xerostomia or hyposalivation is a commonly encountered condition especially among the elderly that needs to be treated to improve quality of life in denture wearers. This article reviews the various etiologic factors and treatment modalities in patients with xerostomia.

New Criteria

The last few years have witnessed considerable progress in the diagnosis and treatment of spondyloarthritis (SpA). Tools are now available for establishing the diagnosis at an early stage, when appropriate treatment may be able to control the inflammatory process, limit the functional impairments, and improve quality of life. Late-onset SpA after the age of 50 years is uncommon. All the spondyloarthritis subgroups are represented in the elderly. Thus, late onset spondyloarthritis is underdiagnosed in favour of other inflammatory disorders that are more frequently observed in the elderly because the clinical or radiological presentations of late-onset spondyloarthritis are modified in the elderly. They deserve further attention because age population is increasing and new criteria for axial SpA including sacroiliitis detected by MRI may help the clinician with diagnosis. Specific studies evaluating the benefit/risk ratio of TNFα-blocking agents in late onset SpA patients are required.
