BACKGROUND The Beers criteria identify inappropriate use of medications in older adults. The number of and risk for adverse events from these medications are unknown. OBJECTIVE To estimate the number of and risk for emergency department visits for adverse events involving Beers criteria medications compared with other medications. DESIGN Nationally representative, public health surveillance...

A simple, rapid, accurate, precise and sensitive spectrophotometric method for determination of Fe and V in bulk sample using Schiff base derived from salicylhydroxamic acid is described. The method is based on the formation of coloured complexes in weak acidic medium. The coloured products have showed absorption band at λmax 460 nm for Fe +3 – complex and also absorption band at λmax 632 nm fo...

We here describe a new spectrophotometric method for measuring total bilirubin in serum. The method is based on the cleavage of bilirubin giving formaldehyde which further reacts with diazotized 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride giving blue colored solution with maximum absorbance at 630 nm. Sensitivity of the developed method was compared with Jendrassik-Grof assay procedure...

INTRODUCTION Potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) is frequent and problematic in older patients. Identifying PIP is necessary to improve prescribing quality; ideally, this should be performed at the population level. Screening Tool of Older Persons' potentially inappropriate Prescriptions/Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment (STOPP/START) and Beers criteria were developed t...

This chapter describes the importance of yeast in beer fermentation. Initially, the differences between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces pastorianus in the production of “ale” and “lager” beers are analyzed. Then, the relationships between beer nutrients and yeast growth are discussed, with special emphasis on the production of the flavor compounds. The impact of the wort composition ...

The effect of soundscapes on the taste evaluation of beers was analyzed in the research reported here. Three experiments were conducted in which participants tasted a beer twice, and rated the experience, each time under the influence of a different sound stimulus. The participants were not informed that they were, in fact, tasting the same beer. The objective was to determine whether soundtrac...

BACKGROUND The Beers Criteria released by the American Geriatrics Society includes a list of drugs to avoid in the geriatric population and is frequently used as a safety resource in geriatric pharmacotherapy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the exposure of South Korean geriatrics to potentially inappropriate medications according to the Beers Criteria and the risk of adverse events from these medicati...
