Patients with psychiatric pathology may experience heightened levels of distress, making pain management more challenging. The presence of multiple comorbidities may complicate the therapeutic management of hip fractures. Treatment plans must be carefully tailored to accommodate each individual's unique medical history and current health status. We looked for improving pain evaluation and management in patients with dementia and choosing the best treatment according to age and comorbidities. This study highlights the mortality rate in surgically and non-surgically treated patients and possible correlations with other factors. We conducted a prospective study on 184 patients over 60 years old, with dementia and hip fractures, between 2018 and 2020 in Romania, within the Galati County Clinical Hospital. We applied the Charlson Comorbidity Index, ACE III test, EQ5D5L, and Harris test scores to assess the comorbidities, respectively, pain levels, mobilization in daily life activities, self-care and severity of dementia to exert the optimal treatment for patients with dementia and hip fracture. Our study pointed out that pain was frequently excruciating in non-operated patients compared to those who were operated. Most non-operated patients were immobilized in bed, they required careful and permanent care, while most of the operated patients experienced lower pain levels. While some risk factors of morbidity and mortality, such as comorbidities, severity of dementia, high age, and previous living situations are not preventable, delayed surgery, and general anesthesia risks may be prevented. Despite the treatment, mortality was high both at 6 months and 2 years, with increased survival rate in surgical treated patients. Our study addresses issues such as the importance of mental state evaluation in elderly patients in therapeutic decisions, the surgical intervention and the particularities in pre- and postoperative pain control in patients with dementia, topics that are insufficiently established in the current practical guidelines.</p>","PeriodicalId":72829,"journal":{"name":"Discoveries (Craiova, Romania)","volume":"12 2","pages":"e188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11421493/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Until now, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, and the existing treatments aim to alleviate symptoms. Parkinson's disease diagnosis is primarily based on clinical observation of bradykinesia, mood, and cognition symptoms. Nonetheless, clinical diagnosis has its drawbacks since symptoms of parkinson's disease only manifest in later stages and can be similar to those of other conditions, such as essential tremors or atypical Parkinsonian syndromes. Molecular imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET), can objectively detect changes in the brain's neurochemical processes and help diagnose and study neurodegenerative diseases. The paper discusses functional imaging objectives, the tracers employed for imaging, and the condition of each target in Parkinson's disease. Functional imaging can bestow invaluable revelations concerning the intricate mechanisms underlying both motor and nonmotor impairments in Parkinson's disease while concurrently illuminating the involvement of striatal dopamine in behavioral phenomena extending beyond mere motor regulation.

How do cells secrete with great precision a portion of the vesicle contents?These questions have been answered through the work of Dr. Bhanu P. Jena, a cell physiologist and chemist at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit Already in the mid 1990s he discovered that pancreatic acinar cells possess secretory portals (porosomes) at the cell plasma membrane that govern the transport and secretion of digestive enzymes. During the next twenty-five years, Jena characterized in great detail the molecular mechanisms underlying this secretory process. He also showed that similar \"secretory portals\", or \"porosomes\", are present in all cell types including endocrine cells secreting hormones and brain neurons secreting neurotransmitters.The principles discovered and described by Bhanu P. Jena turned out to be universal, operating similarly in all animal cells. A number of human hereditary diseases are caused by mutations in some of the nearly 30 proteins composing the porosome complex. Jena's discovery of the porosome, in addition to providing a deep understanding of cell secretion, has also contributed to the establishment of a drug development platform (https://www.porosome.com) for the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Among the therapeutic application is porosome reconstitution in stem cell derived beta cells, for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes and holds great promise for the cure of cystic fibrosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":72829,"journal":{"name":"Discoveries (Craiova, Romania)","volume":"11 4","pages":"e176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11421492/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142333708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical features of DRESS/DiHS may be challenging to recognize and diagnose, since they are delayed, stepwise, and heterogeneous. The classic presentation of DRRSS/DiHS involves a combination of cutaneous, hematologic, and internal organ involvement with a 2 to 8 weeks latency between drug exposure and the onset of symptoms. Finding the culprit drug in our case was difficult as the patient was taking multiple antibiotics. Drugs such as vancomycin and cefepime used before the rash outbreak for post-reconstructive surgery for left toal knee arthroplasty (TKA) approximately four weeks before the onset of the rash are likely offending agents. This patient also had multi-visceral involvement with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms. The current treatment guidelines for DRESS/DiHS are primarily based on expert opinion, as no randomized control trials exist. After the prompt withdrawal of the offending drug, systemic corticosteroids seem to have shown the best outcome for patients. Delaying discontinuing offending medications and initiating corticosteroid treatment may lead to poor results. The present case emphasizes that the close observation of patients with drug eruption induced by antibiotics is imperative.
