AIM To compare the risk of unplanned hospitalization in high-care nursing home residents taking Beers potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) against that of other elderly. METHODS Using an enhanced case-time-control design and conditional logistic regression applied to the pharmaceutical claims and other linked data of 245436 Western Australians aged ≥ 65 years (1993-2005), the study der...

PURPOSE The use of multiple and/or inappropriate medications in seniors is a significant public health problem, and cancer treatment escalates its prevalence and complexity. Existing studies are limited by patient self-report and medical record extraction compared with a pharmacist-led comprehensive medication assessment. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined medication use in ambu...

PURPOSE This study aims to assess inappropriate prescribing (IP) to elderly patients during the month prior to hospitalization and to compare different IP criteria. METHODS An observational, prospective and multicentric study was carried out in the internal medicine services of seven Spanish hospitals. Patients aged 75years and older were randomly selected after hospital admission for a year....

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing using the Beers and STOPP criteria. The START criteria were applied to detect prescription omission in the geriatric population. We compared the utility of these criteria in institutionalised older people. METHODS Descriptive study reviewing the medication and clinical records of 81 residents (aged 65 year...

BACKGROUND Increased availability of low/er strength alcohol products has the potential to reduce alcohol consumption if they are marketed as substitutes for higher strength products rather than as additional products. The current study compares the main marketing messages conveyed by retailers and producers for low/er and regular strength wine and beer products. METHODS A content analysis of...

The microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is a cheap source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, thus used in many interventional studies. This study evaluated the potential effects C. powder on fermentation parameters; sensory, phytochemical, antioxidant activity; abundance volatile organic compounds (VOCs) treated versus control beers. A German Pilsner-style lager beer (GPB) was brewed supplemented ...

In the last few years, production and consumption of craft beers has increased notably. However, there is restricted knowledge about potential impact chips from different wood species on beer quality. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate effect addition cherry oak species—after fermentation was completed during a brief maceration time—on volatile composition three groups (Ale, Lager, Porter) throu...

A simple, efficient, precise and accurate absorbance ratio method have been developed for the estimation of eprosartan mesylate and hydrochlorothiazide in pure and in fixed dose combination. In this method, UV spectra of eprosartan mesylate and hydrochlorothiazide were overlayed which involves the formation of Q-absorbance equation at 249.1 nm (isobestic point) and 274.5 nm, the max of hydrochl...

Two simple, rapid and accurate spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric methods developed for the determination of Tofisopam (TF) in pure form and in pharmaceutical formulation. The spectrophotometric method (A) is based on the reduction of ferric into ferrous in presence of 1, 10-phenanthroline to give an orange –red colored ferroin complex measured at 510 nm. Method (B) spectrofluorimetric ...
